The football

season is nearing the home stretch and several local teams still have

playoff hopes.

East Coweta

(6-0) is almost a sure thing for a playoff spot. Tonight, they travel

to take on the Henry County Warhawks (1-6). The Indians have been solid

on both sides of the ball this season and are looking to run the table.

Starr's Mill

(5-2) is also in good shape for returning to the playoffs. The Panthers

offense continues to improve and their defense is outstanding. They held

Morrow to 51 total yards of offense last week and kept them off the scoreboard.

This week they host McIntosh (0-6). The Chiefs have been able to score

points on many of their opponents this season, but still give up the big

plays on defense.

Sandy Creek

(2-4) will host Woodward Academy (1-5) tonight. The team will play the

rest of the seaosn without Kedric Golston, who broke his leg in a car

accident earlier in the week. Doctors expect Golston to make a full recovery

and say he will be able to play football again. Expect the Patriots to

come out and play more fired up than usual in Golston's absence. Sandy

Creek has had solid perfomances from the offense in the past few weeks

and should have no rouble getting oit going tonight. It is still possible

for the Patriots to make the playoffs, though other teams will have to

help them out.

Landmark Christian

(4-2) returns from a bye week tonight. The War Eagles will travel to take

on Bowdon (3-3). Landmark will make the playoffs again this year, as all

four teams from Region 5-A advance. They have a balanced offensive attack

and a very solid defense. Our Lady of Mercy played the Union Grove junior

varsity yesterday.

Fayette County

(3-4) plays a day game tomorrow against North Clayton (2-4) at Tara Stadium

in Jonesboro. The Tigers are hoping to run the table in the coming weeks,

though the playoffs are out of the Tigers reach this season.
