Class A-3A Private Blog: Defending champion Hebron faces tall task at Class 4A No. 4 Blessed Trinity

Hebron Christian will travel to Class 4A No. 4 Blessed Trinity in a game which will be broadcast on Atlanta News First/Peachtree Sports Network in the only meeting between ranked teams from Class A-3A Private.

The game marks the second-ever meeting between the teams after Blessed Trinity’s 24-10 victory last season. Defending-champion Hebron enters the game 2-1 after beating North Atlanta 29-22 and Fellowship Christian 45-29. The Lions lost to Tennessee’s McCallie 24-8 on August 29. Last week’s contest against Christ School (NC) was cancelled.

Blessed Trinity has beaten Tri-Cities 57-14, Holy Innocents’ 30-2 and Class A-3A Private No. 1 Prince Avenue 28-13. The Titans lost 21-10 on the road against Class 5A No. 6 Milton last week.

The Lions’ offense features dynamic back Devon Caldwell and Jarvis Mathurin, an athletic receiver. Caldwell has accumulated a total of 670 all-purpose yards, comprising 463 rushing yards, 102 receiving yards, and 105 kick return yards. Mathurin has contributed 312 total yards, including 113 rushing yards, 111 receiving yards, and 88 kick return yards. Both athletes have consistently served as reliable options for quarterback Michael Kyles Jr., who is currently in his inaugural season as the Lions' starting quarterback.
