The East Coweta

Indians (7-5) are still alive in the Class AAAAA state football playoffs.

After upsetting

Coffee in the first round of the playoffs, the Indians blasted Warner

Robins 42-21 last Friday night to reach the state quarterfinals. The two

teams were deadlocked at 14 in the second quarter but the Indian defense

made a key stop and the offense took over and left Warner Robins in the

dust.

Quarterback

Lee Heaberlin passed for 147 yards in the win and Marquice Maynard caught

eight passes for 92 yards. Derek White gave the team a hige boost with

three rushing touchdowns.

The Indians'

42 points was the most they had scored all season and they enter this

Friday's game against the Harrison Hoyas (12-0) apparently clicking on

all cylinders.

They will need

to continue playing perfect football as Harrison is one of the more dominant

teams in the state. They are ranked number two in Class AAAAA, gave up

only 46 points during the regular season and posted five shutouts.

East Coweta

has won four games in a row and as improved a 1-4 away record to 3-4 with

two road wins in the first two rounds of the playoffs. Tonight, they could

reach 4-4 with a win.

A win would

put them in the semifinals in the Georgia Dome against the winner of Northside,

Warner Robins and Parkview. The Indians started the season in the Georgia

Dome with a 21-0 loss to Parkview, though the game was closer than the

score would indicate.

Tonight's game

will be played at Harrison in Kennesaw at 7:30 p.m.
