The field conditions

last Friday were soggy, but that didn't stop a lot of teams from running

wild and scoring points.

Starr's Mill

hosted McIntosh in their homecoming game and won 52-33. After a field

goal by Chris James and a touchdown by Chris Strauch, McIntosh responded

with a 80-yard touchdown run from Cameron Hall. Johnny Edwards ran back

a punt return over 80 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter, part

of 28 points that the Panthers scored in the second quarter. Strauch finished

with three touchdowns for the Panthers while quarterback Patrick Mullinix

connected with Cagney Blackman for another touchdown. Other scorers for

McIntosh were .....

McIntosh will

wrap up their season this Saturday with a game against Lovejoy at Twelve

Oaks Stadium in Hampton. Starr's Mill has a week off before facing Fayette

County at Tiger Stadium. The Panthers are 5-1 in the region and have wins

over both Lovejoy and Riverdale. If they defeat Fayette County Nov. 8,

they will be 6-1 and will have captured the region championship. Lovejoy

will play Riverdale in the final week.

Fayette County

faced Riverdale last Saturday, after play was cancelled from the night

before due to poor field conditions. The Tigers lost to the Raiders 35-21.

Fayette County has a week off before hosting Starr's Mill in their final

game of the season.

Sandy Creek

(5-2) got a huge game from Phillip Hyde last Friday as the Patriots defeated

Forest Park, 42-28. Hyde ran for over 250 yards and three touchdowns as

Sandy Creek rolled up 463 yards of offense. Other scorers for Sandy Creek

were Jamal Rome, Will Judson and Calvin Johnson, each with a touchdown

reception from Dusty Bennett. The defense for Sandy Creek helped rally

the team to the win with two blocked punts in the second half, one of

which led to a touchdown.

The Patriots

are now 5-1 in the region. They will play at Woodward Academy (4-3) this

Friday night. The War Eagles are 4-2 in the region.

Landmark Christian

remained undefeated with a 60-13 win over Whitefield Academy. The War

Eagles scored 58 points in the first half, including four touchdown passes

from Alex Mortensen and a 63 yard touchdown run from Evander Holyfield

Jr. Sean Hill rushed for 100 yards for Landmark. The War Eagles will face

Bowdon (5-2), which has won three games in a row and has put up a lot

of points in those wins.

Our Lady of

Mercy faced Bowdon last Friday and lost 53-6. The Bobcats got a 47 yard

touchdown run from William Shelton, who finished with 100 yards rushing.

Our Lady of Mercy did not have the firepower to compete with Bowdon as

some of their top offensive weapons were out due to injury.
