It was a squeaker, but in the end, the East Jackson Eagles picked up their second region victory of the year, as well as the second in school history, with a 24-20 win over the Rabun County Wildcats last Friday night in Tiger.

They’ll travel to North Oconee to face the Titans Friday night.

The Titans are in the midst of a four-game win streak after knocking off Dawson County 16-7 Friday. They are tied with Fannin County for second place in 8-AA, while the Eagles are mired back in seventh after Friday night’s win.

On paper, the task for East Jackson looks even more daunting. North Oconee has scored 169 points this season, an average of 24.1 per game, to the Eagles’ 115 points, a 16.4 per game average.

East Jackson has allowed 196 points, an average of 28 per game, while North Oconee has allowed only 116, a per game average of 16.6.

The Titans are 5-1 in the region and 6-1 overall, while the Eagles’ win Friday night moved them to 2-4 in the region, and 2-5 overall.
Kickoff Friday night is scheduled for 7:30.
