Several teams continued their strong start to the 2021 season on Friday night.
Buford, Cherokee Bluff, Flowery Branch, Jefferson, Lanier Christian, and West Hall all improved to 2-0 with big wins.
The Class 6A No. 1-ranked Wolves overcame a tough offensive night to hold on for a 16-3 win over Clarke Central.
Cherokee Bluff and West Hall both continue to show Region 7-3A is still plenty dangerous. The Bears rolled to a 60-21 win over Chestatee while the Spartans pulled away for a 48-21 win over East Hall at East Hall Stadium.
Class 4A No. 1 Jefferson smacked Class 6A Central Gwinnett 42-7 in Lawrenceville while No. 7 Flowery Branch whipped Dawson County 31-7 at Falcons Field.
Lanier Christian shut out Lafayette Christian 30-0 in LaGrange to stay unbeaten as well.
North Hall, however, could not get its second straight win falling to Stephens County 42-0 in a stunner at The Brickyard. North Forsyth was looking for its second straight 2-0 start but lost 19-6 to Harrison in Kennesaw.
Neither could Towns County, which dropped a 31-14 decision to Armuchee on the road. Class A-Public No. 5 Commerce also found the going tough losing to Class 4A Pickens 37-8 in Jasper.
