Frederica Academy Knights

Summary of last season:

The Knights got off to a fast start last season by opening with back to back victories. Then they ran into Valwood and Bethesda for two quick losses. Wins over Robert Toombs and Trinity Christian followed, but then another loss to Pinewood was followed by a three game winning streak to finish the regular season. Although they had the home field advantage, Frederica fell in the first round of the GISA state playoffs 14-3 to Gatewood.

Outlook for this season:

“We have a tremendous group of sophomores coming up,” Coach Derrick told In The Game Radio. They include JaShawn Sheffield, who is already receiving college offers, Jaylin Simpson and quarterback Gaven Williams. The Knights will be young but return experience in the skill positions.

Big games this year:

The Knights open against Georgia Christian, before traveling to Atlanta to play Holy Spirit Prep. After a home stand against the Bethesda School, Frederica has a tough mid-season run. “We have three weeks straight where we play a state champion or a runnerup,” said Coach Brandon Derrick. The Knights travel to AA runnerup Robert Toombs, then to Valdosta to play AAA champion Valwood. Then it’s back home to play AA champ, Memorial. Frederica then finishes the regular season at Trinity-Dublin, at home against Pinewood, and at Bulloch. Then the team closes at home against Edmund Burke Academy.
