It seems Christmas

has come early this year.

We are now

in the month of December and three local teams are still playing football.

They are all one win away from a trip to the Georgia Dome.

Tonight, two

teams travel to take on their opponents, while the East Coweta Indians

look to continue their winning streak at home. Both East Coweta and Starr's

Mill remain undefeated.

East Coweta

(12-0) hosts Parkview at Garland Shoemake Stadium tonight. The Indians

have won with a balanced offensive attack and a great defense. They have

set a school record for consecutive wins and have gone as far as the 1994

team.

Parkview is

also undefeated. They have only allowed seven points in their two playoff

games, while scoring a total of 52 points against their opponents. The

Indians must force turnovers and capitalize on them, as they did early

in last week's game, to keep their streak alive.

Starr's Mill

(12-0) is on the road again this week, as they travel to take on the Brookwood

Broncos. They have been on the road for all three weeks of the playoffs

though. Their first game was not held at their home stadium and last week

they upset Warner Robins in overtime in their home stadium. The Panthers

seem to thrive on adversity and will look to continue their multi-faceted

ground attack tonight.

The defense

must also continue to stand strong. Brookwood is 11-1 on the season and

their only loss was by one point to Parkview. The Broncos have allowed

12 points in both of their playoff games but are averaging just over 25

points on offense. It won't be easy for Starr's Mill, but they like it

that way.

The Northgate

Vikings (11-1) have the toughest road ahead of them, possibly because

it is the longest. They will travel to take on the Americus Panthers (12-0).

Both of the Vikings postseason wins have been very close. They have established

a solid offensive attack and scored when necessary, but they will need

to slow the Americus attack down.

The Panthers

have scored 108 points in their two playoff games and have only allowed

20. During the season, they had two shutouts and only allowed one opponent

to score over 20 points. Big games from Kenny Strozier and quarterback

Mitch Stewart will certianly help the Vikings, who will also need some

key turnovers to work in their favor.

Enjoy the games

tonight. Kickoffs are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. See you at the Dome next

weekend.
