Ryan Conway led the defense for G.A. with five tackles, followed by Colt Brantley, Travis Watson and Emory Winters with three tackles apiece.

This week the Tornados will be at home to host the Wilcox Academy Wildcats.

"Wilcox beat Morgan in their first game of the season, but they lost to Monroe," said Tornados Head Coach Charles Oswald. "After looking at their films, it's easy to see that we'll have to defend against their passing."

Oswald said Wilcox's basic offense is the spread.

"Although they usually pass from the spread, after they see our last game on film, they will probably be throwing the ball a lot," Oswald said. "We'll have to stop their inside game with their big fullback, number 32 n they run him on the inside until the defense stops them."

Injuries will be affecting the performance of the team, according to Oswald.

"Brooks Moore dislocated his shoulder, in a re-occurring old injury n the doctors have said if he does well in his therapy this week and next, he might be back to play two games from now," he said. "Also, Benji Coghlan strained ligaments in his knee, but he may also be back next week."

Oswald said his team would have to step up on defense.

"We're going to have to make the tackles when they get the ball."

Kickoff time is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Autrey Field.
