Tucker High School’s varsity football team continued its perfect start to the 2026 season with another win by 35-plus points.

The Tucker Tigers opened Region 5-5A play with a 56-0 homecoming win over the Druid Hills Red Devils (3-2, 0-1) at Adams Stadium on Sept. 25.

Linebackers Maverick Armour and Sam Bryant led the Tigers’ defense in the shutout with eight tackles apiece to limit the Red Devils offense. Armour’s night included four tackles for a loss and Bryant tossed in two more tackles for a loss. Aaron Goode added a 10-yard scoop and score on the defensive side as well.

Senior quarter Jace German threw a touchdown pass to both Jayden Joyner (two catches 28 yards) and Nehemiah Johnson (two catches, 58 yards). German also added a rushing touchdown. Tucker also benefitted from a rushing touchdown from both Thaddeus Tillman and Christian Copeland.

Andre Blackburn added a special teams score with an 85-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.

Tucker takes this week off before facing the DeKalb County rivals Southwest DeKalb Panthers in region play on Oct. 9.
