The nights

are getting cooler and it is being hailed by some as "perfect football

weather." Not only is the weather perfect but some of this weekend's

match-ups should be outstanding.

Starr's Mill

(3-1) travels to Tara Stadium again tonight. to take on Lovejoy (4-0).

The Panthers have been bolstered by super defensive efforts this season

and the offense is improving from game to game. Rodrigues Heard got his

first start of the season last week and gained 60 yards on the ground

as the panthers had 150 yards rushing.

East Coweta

(3-0) has a long road trip ahead of them this afternoon as they travel

to Augusta to take on Evans (0-4). The Indians defeated Fayette County

44-21 last week and have had a strong season so far. East Coweta has a

balanced offensive attack with many weapons, including Preston Stricklin

who ran for 156 yards last week.

Fayette County

(1-3) plays at home this evening as they take on the Henry County Warhawks

(1-3). The Tigers have had to face some very talented teams in the past

few weeks and have given a super effort. The Warhawks have some talented

athletes in the skill positions, but tailback Raymond thomas has been

injured and has seen limited playing time.

McIntosh (0-3)

is at home as well this evening as they take on Newnan (4-0). The Cougars

will be the biggest challenge for the Chiefs so far this season. Newnan

has scored over 40 points a game in their four wins, while McIntosh has

scored 12 points total. Coach Prosser is hoping that the team can slow

down running back Rod Gray and not give up any big plays.

Sandy Creek

(0-3) finally gets a home game tonight and fittingly the school will celebrate

their homecoming. The Patriots must face yet another top ten team from

AAAA as they host Jones County (3-1) tonight. The Patriots got an outstanding

effort from their defense last week and were still in the game heading

into the final quarter.

Landmark Christian

(3-1) hosts Bremen tonight. The War Eagles lost to Adairsville, 7-6 last

week but saw a solid performance from the defense. Our Lady of Mercy traves

to take on Glascock County and Pace Christian travels to take on the Newnan

Christian Rams at 5 p.m.
