Week eight of the high school football season will have programs playing for postseason position, and more importantly, region titles. This week, there are undefeated teams facing off in Powder Springs, and two legendary South Georgia AAAA programs playing one of their biggest games of the season.
Flowery Branch Falcons (5-2) at Walnut Grove Warriors (5-2), 7:30 p.m.
The drive to Walnut Grove might be worth seeing the Falcons’ 6-2 receiver Tre Shields play.
Jonesboro Cardinals (4-3) vs Griffin Bears (5-2), 7:30 p.m.
Huge region AAAA-3 matchup between two of the premier programs in the state. If nothing else, the Jonesboro Cardinals band is most definitely worth the price of admission.
Marist War Eagles (6-1) vs Clarkston Angoras (0-7), 7:30 p.m.
The War Eagles look to remain undefeated in region play this season. This week’s game is a warm-up for the October 24 game when Marist hosts the Lithonia Bulldogs (6-1).
McEachern Indians (7-0) at Hillgrove Hawks (7-0), 7:30 p.m.
One: Two of the biggest and best high school football programs in the state.
Two: They are both 7-0.
Three: There’s a national ranking on the line.
Nuff said.
Peach County Trojans (7-0) vs Bainbridge Bearcats, 7:30 p.m.
The Trojans look to remain undefeated with just three weeks remaining in the regular season.
