The regular

season of high school football is over and several local teams are in

the state playoffs. Landmark Christian and Starr's Mill will host games

this Friday, while Sandy Creek will be on the road.

Sandy Creek

and Landmark Christian each ended their season with a win. The Patriots

defeated Northgate, 7-6, while the War Eagles blanked Mt. Zion, Carroll

34-0 and finished the season with a perfect 10-0 record. Sandy Creek's

lone touchdown came from Phillip Hyde, who rushed for 152 yards. The Patriots

secured the win with Will Judson blocking an extra point and a field goal.

Jermaine Jones also recovered a fumble that kept Northgate from scoring

again. Landmark Christian got four touchdowns from Dylan Hanes and quarterback

Alex Mortensen threw for over 220 yards passing.

Landmark will

host Jefferson (5-5) on Friday night. The Jefferson Dragons lost to Athens

Academy on Friday and have scored 24 total points in their last three

games, all losses. Starr's Mill will host Tift County (3-7). The Blue

Devils had lost four games in a row before getting a win in the final

week of the season.

Sandy Creek

(7-3) will travel to take on the Ware County Gators (7-3). Ware County
