Six teams remain in the playoffs in the AccessWDUN coverage area, and all have a shot at moving to the third round.
Last week, Buford, Commerce, Gainesville, Jefferson, Lumpkin County and Rabun County punched their tickets to the quarterfinals of the Georgia High School state playoffs and are one step closer to Atlanta.
Jacobs Media will have three playoff games on its airwaves and streaming live on AccessWDUN.com.
Buford at Grayson – This might be the biggest game in the state in any classification. The Class 7A playoffs are tough from the first round until the end, and this one will be an all-out brawl in Loganville. Norcross kept it close last week against the Wolves. Grayson will keep it close all night. If the Wolves are to get past this next test, they'll need to be clicking on all cylinders. You don't want to miss this one. The game can be heard live on WDUN AM 550 (Click to listen live).
Jefferson at Harris County – The Dragons lost the coin toss and will be on the road this week in Hamilton, Ga. It's a two-hour trip to Harris County. Will that make a difference? No. The Dragons have started slow the last two weeks and ended up blowing past Jackson, Atl and Hiram. The slow-start question is irrelevant now, as the Dragons have proven they can adjust on the fly. This will be an interesting game. The game can be heard live on FM 102.9 WDUN (Click to listen live).
Gainesville at Woodward Academy – Gainesville used their passing game last week to push past Woodward and a solid defensive effort. They'll need both again this week against Woodward Academy. However, it's hard to pick against Big Red. It's Round 3, though, the competition is really strong, and so are the Red Elephants. The game can be heard live on FM 94.5 The Lake (Click to listen live).
