The 2014 high school football regular season has flown by like so many dried leaves caught in a wind current, but there is plenty on tap to enjoy on the last Friday before postseason play -- especially for northeast Georgia programs.<br />
<br />
Six area regions will see their championship games played out tonight -- as teams battle for glory and a No. 1 postseason spot in Regions 8-A, 8-AA, 7-AAA, 8-AAA, 8-AAAA and 7-AAAAAA.<br />
<br />
There will also be plenty of other playoff seeds on the line, as well as some big rivalry games -- including Gainesville at Flowery Branch.<br />
<br />
Yet perhaps the two most intriguing contests come in Oakwood and Hartwell, where two winner-take-all showdowns are shaping up for the 7-AAA and 8-AAA titles, respectively. Lumpkin County will travel to West Hall for a battle between two powerful run offenses in the 7-AAA contest, while Jefferson heads to Hart County for a top 10 donnybrook in 8-AAA.<br />
<br />
Other huge games on tonight's slate that hold region and playoff implications include Mill Creek at Peachtree Ridge, Buford at Stephens County, White County at North Hall, Banks County at East Hall, Greene County at Rabun County, Lakeview Academy at Commerce... the list is long.<br />
