Sandy Creek: It's been

three wins in three games so far for the Patriots, with none of the scores

being close. The latest victim was Region 4-AAAA foe Northgate, and the

score was 35-6.

Phillip Hyde finished the night

around the 200-yard rushing plateau, and he didn't get a carry in

the fourth quarter. He got the Patriots on the board after a Northgate

field goal, scampering 21 yards for a touchdown with 8:03 left in the

first quarter.

Northgate hit another field

goal to cut the lead to a point, but Dusty Bennett and Will Judson connected

on a touchdown pass with less than a minute to go before halftime. Sandy

Creek broke the game open in the third quarter, with Hyde scoring on a

28-yard run and Reggie Ellington, who gained nearly 100 yards on the ground

himself, scoring from 16 yards out near the end of the period. The Patriots

added a touchdown midway through the fourth.

McIntosh: The Chiefs lost their

third straight game after opening the Region 4-AAAAA schedule with a 38-0

defeat at the hands of East Coweta. The Indians scored every time they

had the ball until late in the fourth quarter as they built a 32-point

lead. McIntosh got two field goals from Nadder Juron, from 40 and 47 yards,

before tacking on a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns on a 39-yard run

Fayette County: The Tigers

fell to 0-4 after Friday's 35-0 loss to undefeated region opponent

Lovejoy, who entered the game ranked sixth in the Associated Press state

poll. A 21-point second quarter broke the game open and gave the Wildcats

a four-touchdown lead at the half.

Starr's Mill: Leading

17-14 at halftime, the Panthers were overcome by a furious second-half

surge from the Riverdale Raiders, who remained unbeaten with a 28-17 win

in the first region game for Starr's Mill.

Robbie Williams threw a 36-yard

touchdown pass to Ryan Barr in the first quarter, and Dante Allen busted

loose for a 64-yard scoring run in the second. After rushing for 74 yards

in the first half, Allen injured an ankle and did not return.

Williams ran for 86 yards and

threw for 112 in the game. Russell Warren added a 24-yard field goal in

the first half.
