Valdosta State football is the new No. 1 in Division II and have been waiting patiently to get back onto the field after having a bye last week.
Although this is the first game the Blazers will play as the top team, they have played like one the entire season, especially with the high octane offense they possess, which has led them to being undefeated on the season and led by quarterback Sammy Edwards.
On the other side of things, the Chowan Hawks football team are searching for something to get them going with the season dwindling down and getting closer to crunch time.
This Gulf South Football matchup is important to each team regardless of record as the Blazers are looking to keep what they have been building up for themselves all season and staying a the top of the conference.
Chowan wants to gain another conference win but most importantly would not mind shocking its conference rival on their home field.
Late game interception by the Valdosta State defense clinches the shutout for the Blazers, sending a message that they belong as the No. 1 team.
