Friday Game Night

Two of the three region contests set to air on the Jacobs Media family of stations have big-time region implications.

Friday night provided a lot of surprising results, exactly what you would expect for a Friday the 13th.

Friday the 13th was not nice to some area teams, causing for some big revelations about what happened in week 9.

Rain. Two power-rushing teams. Stingy defenses. It figured to be a monumental ground battle between No. 1 Buford and No. 2 Mill Creek for early supremacy in Region 8-7A and Class 7A. Wrong.

After Flowery Branch scored on the opening possession, Jefferson scored 41 straight in a 41-13 win over the Falcons Friday night at Memorial Stadium.

It was like a slow bog through the mud for both North Hall and Chestatee Friday night at Lynn Cottrell Stadium at The Brickyard.

Gainesville scored twice in the first two minutes of the game in a 49-7 win over Habersham Central Friday night.

Union County attempted a massive comeback but fell short in a 55-35 loss to Providence Christian Friday night.

A furious comeback by Dawson County fell short Friday night as Wesleyan won another nailbiter in region 7-3A, 21-20, at Tiger Stadium.

Cherokee Bluff couldn't complete the comeback as they fell to Walnut Grove, 21-16, Friday night.
