The high school

football season keeps rolling along and some teams keep rolling along

with it.

East Coweta

stayed undefeated by defeating Lovejoy, Sandy Creek got their second consecutive

win and Starr's Mill rolled over the Tigers of Stockbridge.

Starr's Mill

improved to 4-2 Friday by defeating Stockbridge 61-14. The Panthers got

touchdowns from Chris Strauch, Recarta Heard, Rodrigues Heard, Izak DeBeers

and Tim Fevella. The Panthers had close to 400 yards of offense and lead

41-0 at the half.

Andrew Bashakes,

Jake Jones and Jason Earwood were the three leading tacklers for the Panthers

and Allen Conrad, David Hanson and Brooks Bowen each had a fumble recovery.

The Starr's Mill defense held Stockbridge to 135 yards of offense. Starr's

Mill hits the road this Friday to take on Morrow at Tara Stadium.

Sandy Creek

has started a streak by winning its second game in a row. The Patriots

faced Heritage in Conyers and won 17-14. They will play in their home

stadium this Friday when they take on Westlake.

East Coweta

trailed Lovejoy 8-6 at the half but came up to score 19 points in a row

in the second half for a 25-8 victory. Marquis Maynard had three touchdowns

for the Indians, including one from a 60-yard run. East Coweta hosts Stockbridge

Friday.

McIntosh faced

Riverdale last Friday and lost 55-19. Nick Achor had two touchdowns for

the Chiefs, one on a 12-yard pass from Luke Wiggs and one from a 1-yard

run. Cameron Hall scored with a 90-yard kickoff return.

Robert Leon

and Tanner Plauche played well on defense, though the Raiders piled up

486 yards of offense against the Chiefs. McIntosh hosts Mt. Zion of Jonesboro

this Friday.

Fayette County

played Jonesboro Saturday afternoon and lost 10-9 after the Cardinals

blocked a field goal with less than four minutes to play. It was the fourth

straight win for Jonesboro. The Tigers will host Forest Park this Friday.

Mercy rebounded

from a 35-0 thumping the week before to beat the JV Riverside Military

Academy football team 28-22 on Thursday night at Mercy Field. The Bobcats

were once again lead on the ground by the running of Sam Etuk. Etuk scored

his fifth and sixth touchdowns of the year en route to 171 yards on 27

carries.

Fullback Chris

Calle was instrumental in the scoring too. He led the way with key blocks

all night long to open holes for Etuk. The offensive line, led by Alan

Lancaster and Todd Benson, also provided outstanding blocking. Quarterback

Ralph Woolfolk had his best game of the season to date. He was 6-of-12

passing with two touchdowns, one to Jeremy Johnson and a 61 yard strike

to Nonso Moh.

The Bobcat

defense allowed 59 total yards to Riverside. Matt Gill, Alex Hooper, Ryan

Sling and Quinton Jones were key components in the effort. Mercy is back

in action on Thursday, Oct. 18 when they host Weslyan JV for a 5:30pm
