Football season nears final week

The regular

season of high school football was scheduled to end tonight, but there

will be one more week next week, due to games that were postponed after

September 11.

Tonight, the

big game is East Coweta (8-0) at Newnan (7-1). This is one of the biggest

rivalries in the region every year. The Indians are hoping to stay undefeated

and take the top playoff spot in the sub-division of Region 4-AAAAA. Newnan

would love to play the spoiler and help their playoff hopes along. The

Cougars have a tough test tonight and will host Starr's Mill next week.

If they get wins in both, they will be battle tested when the palyoffs

begin.

Landmark Christian

School (5-3) used some razzle dazzle last week in their win against Heard

County, running two reverses for touchdowns. It will be interesting to

see what the War Eagles have up their sleeves tonight when they host Mt.

Zion, Carroll (3-4). Landmark has a solid offense and a defense that can

really change the tone of the game.

Sandy Creek

(2-6) travels to take on Salem High School tonight. The Patriots produced

some big offensive plays last week but saw a number of their drives stall

out short of the endzone. They will use that as motivation tonight. The

defense which forced several turnovers will play just as hard tonight

and the offense, behind leading rusher Kelvin German, will be looking

to put points on the board with renewed determination.

Fayette County

(5-4) will finish their season by hosting Evans (1-8). The Tigers are

pleased to be much improved from last season and would like to continue

their winning streak. Fayette County will most likely pull out all the

stops as they try to give everybody some playing time and end the season

on a high note.

Our Lady of

Mercy (5-4) will close out their season by hosting Blessed Trinity tonight.

The Bobcats got a big win last week in their homecoming game and will

most likely carry over some of those positive feelings tonight.

McIntosh (0-8)

lost a heartbreaker last week and will face North Clayton (3-5) at Tara

Stadium on Saturday at 5 p.m. The Chiefs had some positive things happen

last week, including a great defensive effort from Yacov Baum. They will

need to play even better this week as North Clayton is much improved.
