5A…Two state championship contenders, Kell and Northside Warner Robins, lose key pieces…
- Houston County (Idle)
- Northside, Warner Robins 1-0 (Defeated North Cobb 27-24)…The Eagles trailed 24-13 with five minutes remaining; BUT, all-state caliber DB Chris Haughton was taken to the hospital with a knee injury.
- Ware County 1-0 (Defeated Brooks County 42-7) Power rush game and stifling defense turned a 14-7 halftime score into a breeze.
- Kell 1-0 (Defeated Carrollton 35-0) Bryson Armstrong is a beast; but losing James DeMatto is a very big deal.
- Stockbridge 1-0 (Defeated Central, AL 13-7) We will see scores like this all year from the Tigers.
- Lanier 1-0 (Defeated Lambert 17-7) Lambert led 7-0 in the first quarter.
- Carver, Columbus 1-0 (Defeated Carver, ATL 28-24) The Tigers rallied from down 24-14 in the final quarter.
- Creekside 1-0 (Defeated South Cobb 33-13) Meet Sabree Curtis. He rushes for 219 yards.
- Glynn Academy 1-0 (Defeated Wayne County 28-14) Fittingly, Deejay Dallas scores their first touchdown on a short catch, then run; on the first play of the season.
- Mays 1-0 (Defeated Hughes 36-26) Really, really nice win. The fact that the re-tooled Raider offense could do that versus the Hughes defense is worth noting.
HM: Jones County, Stephenson 1-0, Clarke-Central, Warner Robins, Coffee 1-0, East Paulding, Allatoona 0-1, South Paulding 1-0
