    The Jefferson Dragons<\/b> are no strangers to championship moments, ranking No. 20 statewide<\/b> with impressive offensive firepower.

    At the heart of Sandy Creek’s<\/b> dominant season runs four-star running back Amari Latimer<\/b>, a 6-foot, 195-pound<\/b> powerhouse committed to West Virginia<\/b>. Latimer leads one of the league’s most explosive ground attacks.<\/p>\n

    The Patriots<\/b> have mastered the formula for defensive consistency and offensive balance. Sandy Creek<\/b> is appearing in consecutive regional finals, winning back-to-back Region 2 titles under third-year head coach Darius Smiley<\/b>.
