For the first half of last Friday’s round one playoff contest between the Jefferson Dragons and the Coosa Eagles, it looked like Coosa could still find a way to rain on Jefferson’s parade, as they held the region 8-AA champs to a ten-point lead going into the third quarter.

But the Dragons turned up the heat, and came away with a whopping 31-13 victory to advance to the second round of playoff action.

The win means Jefferson extends its win streak to 11 in a row, the longest in school history. [ Full Story » ]

Playing a long way from home, the Apalachee High School football team dropped a tough 16-8 contest to Rome in the opening-round of the Class AAAA state football playoffs Friday night.

The Wildcats trailed 16-0 at halftime but cut the Wolves' lead to one score in the second half. Apalachee had chances perhaps tie the contest but could not cross the Rome goal line again.

For the first time in 11 years, the Banks County Leopards are going to the show.

The Leopards made it into the first round of the state playoffs as the number four seed in region 8-AA after a 34-13 defeat of Union County. Yet Banks cannot take all the credit since the North Oconee win over Fannin County is what forced an opening for Banks to fill. Regardless, the Leopards are excited because with a winning season record of 6-4, 6-3 the 2008 team has made it among the best.

The first challenge for the Leopards on their quest to the Georgia Dome is Calhoun. [ Full Story » ]

The Loganville High School football team won the Region 8-AAAA title Friday night at W. Clair Harris Stadium, but the Winder-Barrow Bulldoggs made them earn it.

The visiting Red Devils took a 19-7 win in a steady rain which moved into the area before kickoff and fell throughout the contest. The rain hampered both teams offensively, but the defense shined for both squads.
