Savannah saved its best game of the week for Thursday night. Calvary Day beat Jenkins 20-19 in overtime at Savannah High School Stadium, a one point classic between two of the best teams on the coast.

The win was Calvary Day’s tenth straight, and its third in three days. The Cavaliers won at St. Vincent’s 27-14 on Tuesday, then survived Jenkins on Thursday to reach 14 wins and one loss. Score Atlanta ranks Calvary Day at No. 5 in Division 1, and the program’s pedigree matches the ranking. Calvary Day won the Division 1 state title in 2020, the first season the GHSA sanctioned the sport, and has been a playoff fixture ever since.

Jenkins did not leave Thursday empty handed. The Warriors blanked Statesboro 26-0 in the same stadium doubleheader and stand at 10 wins and four losses. A season ago Jenkins reached the Division 2 state final, and this group remains one of the teams nobody wants to draw when the playoff openers arrive on Nov. 18. Losing an overtime game by a single point to the hottest team in the area does nothing to change that.

Calvary Day’s offense starts with junior quarterback Page Stewart. Through 15 games this season, Stewart has thrown for 3,059 yards and 55 touchdowns, completing 63 percent of her passes, with 115 rushing yards and three rushing scores on top of it. Those are season numbers, and Thursday night they carried the Cavaliers through the hardest test of their win streak.

Jenkins gets another ranked test at Evans on Nov. 3. Calvary Day heads to Woodville-Tompkins on Nov. 4, where the Division 1 Area 2 championship goes to the winner. Ten straight wins say the Cavaliers are ready. Thursday’s overtime escape says they know how to finish, too.

Every bracket has a draw nobody wants, and in Class 6A it belongs to James Clemens. The Jets travel to Hewitt-Trussville on Tuesday, Nov. 3 at 6 p.m. for a first round playoff game, a road trip confirmed on Hewitt-Trussville’s official athletics schedule.

James Clemens, from Madison, won six of its 14 games and closed the regular season the right way, with a 6-0 shutout win at Columbia on Oct. 27. The Jets’ wins include a 36-6 rout of Bob Jones, a 35-0 shutout of St. John Paul II, a 31-13 win over Mae Jemison on Oct. 20 and an 18-0 shutout of Hazel Green. The losses show the gap the Jets have to close. Gadsden City beat them 36-6 on Oct. 22, and Sparkman edged them 13-6 on Oct. 13.

Hewitt-Trussville is the standard on the other sideline. The Huskies are one of the powers of the 6A bracket, and the program’s flag account still points to the inaugural state title it won in 2021, before flag became an official AHSAA championship sport.

Three of the Jets’ six wins were shutouts, so the defense has traveled before. The game is also one of eight first round matchups in the Class 6A bracket, while eight other teams, including Spain Park and Smiths Station, sit out the week on byes and wait for the winners.

For James Clemens, the math is simple. The Jets have already shown they can pitch a shutout and score in bunches against their own level. Tuesday asks them to do it in the hardest building in the bracket.
