After a perfect start to its Region 7-AAA schedule, the West Hall girls softball team will find out just how good it is over the next three weeks. The Lady Spartans used a six-run sixth inning aided by five Chestatee errors to take an 8-0 win Wednesday in a make-up game from two weeks ago. The win gave West Hall a perfect first half in region play.

Georgia got plenty of chances to kick off in a rout of Central Michigan, and coach Mark Richt didn't like what he saw. Freshman Blair Walsh reached the end zone only once, knocked another out of bounds and generally allowed the Chippewas to begin their drives with good field position.

Beanie Wells didn't play. The Ohio Bobcats sure did. Lightly regarded even in the Mid-American Conference, Ohio put a scare into No. 3 Ohio State before the Buckeyes righted things in the fourth quarter and went on to win 26-14 Saturday.

Javier Arenas returned a punt 87 yards for a touchdown and No. 13 Alabama held on Saturday for a shaky 20-6 win over Tulane, forced out of New Orleans a week ago by the threat of Hurricane Gustav.

Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow was good early and even better late, enough to help No. 5 Florida snap a six-game losing streak against rival Miami. Tebow threw two touchdown passes, speedster Percy Harvin ran for a score and the Gators used a swarming defensive effort to beat the Hurricanes 26-3 Saturday night at The Swamp.

Chris Todd completed 21-of-31 passes for 248 yards in his first start and gave No. 9 Auburn's passing game a needed lift in a 27-13 win over Southern Miss on Saturday.

Sam Swank kicked a 41-yard field goal with 3 seconds left to cap a dramatic final minute and give No. 20 Wake Forest a 30-28 win over Mississippi on Saturday.

Wesley Carroll threw two touchdowns and Anthony Dixon had two rushing scores to lead Mississippi State to a 34-10 win over Southeastern Louisiana on Saturday night.

Freshman Randall Cobb threw for one touchdown and ran for two others in relief of Mike Hartline, and Kentucky dominated Norfolk State 38-3 Saturday in its home opener.
