Conley: Allowed 582 rushing yards in last week’s loss, as well as allowing six touchdowns on the ground.

Storylines: The Gryphons hadn’t beaten Apex Middle Creek in the previous three seasons before last week’s win. With a fresh start after a rare losing season, RMH is hoping to keep its balanced offensive attack on track. An emphasis on the the ground game could be in store as the Gryphons’ opponent had a tough time stopping that a week ago. … Meanwhile, Conley plays its first two games of the season at home, and is looking for an important win to avoid an 0-2 start before it embarks on a tough stretch of the schedule. The Vikings play six of their next seven games on the road.
