The road is

calling many of the local high school football teams. In fact, the only

team playing at home tonight is East Coweta (2-0), which hosts Fayette

County (1-2).

East Coweta

defeated North Clayton 45-0 last Friday, while Fayette County lost to

Lovejoy, 14-7. Both the Tigers and Indians have solid offenses built upon

a good running game. Their defenses have also proven themselves so far

this season. If the Tigers can slow down Preston Stricklin, they have

a chance to be in this one, while East Coweta needs to continue to dominate

on defense and force mistakes.

Starr's Mill

(2-1) travels to Tara Stadium tonight to face Mt. Zion, Jonesboro (1-1).

The Panthers have won two games in a row, defeating Fayette County in

overtime and Riverdale 14-7 last week. The Panthers have a good running

game and a defense that controls the pace of most games. They will have

to keep the Bulldogs wrapped up this Friday to win this important region

road game.

McIntosh (0-2)

lost to Jonesboro last week and did not put any numbers on the scoreboard.

They have some decent running backs and can open up the passing game if

the ground attack gets going. Eagle's Landing (2-1) has improved in the

off season. They lost last week to Morrow, but have a big time running

back in Robbie McLen, who has rushed for over 100 yards in the Golden

Eagles three games this season. McIntosh will have to play mistake free

ball and force some Eagle's Landing mistakes to get their first win of

the season tonight.

Sandy Creek

(0-2) is back in action tonight after a long time off. Their game against

Pickens was postponed due to the tragedy and was followed the next week

with a bye. Tonight, they face fifth ranked Creekside, their third ranked

opponent in a row. It is also the Patriots third consecutive game on the

road. The Patriots have played solid defense against tough competition

and would like to see their offense get moving tonight and put some numbers

up on the scoreboard.

Landmark Christian

(3-0) hits the road tonight to take on Adairsville. The War Eagles have

improved greatly in the offseason. Their defense has been stifling. Last

week, they held Gordon Lee to 46 yards rushing for the entire game. Their

offense led by quarterback Alex Mortensen, has been equally impressive.

Mortensen threw two touchdown passes last week to Jason Godbee.

All kickoffs

are scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
