Regional Play Begins Friday Night
The War Eagles have
completed their first six
games of the season and
they are off to the best start
in school history. The War
Eagles, presently ranked
7 th in the Composite
Ratings, will look to take
their undefeated record
into regional play with
one goal in mind; win the
region. They will kick
off regional play against
McIntosh County Academy
on Friday night.
Since the first day of the
season, the expectations
were high for this veteran
War Eagle team. The
team is anchored by 13
seniors and 16 juniors,
making this squad a heavy
upperclassman team. The
first half of the season has
seen the War Eagles have
wins over Johnson County,
Treutlen, East Laurens,
Cross Creek, Screven
County, and Claxton.
Thus far this season, the
War Eagles have managed
to outscore their opponents
245-87, this is an average
of 41 points per game
while only allowing 15
points per game. This
dominance on both sides
of the ball has made for an
exciting football season.
The War Eagles have
shown multiple mshing
attacks and they will mix in
a passing play just to keep
defenders on their toes.
On defense, the War
Eagles have forced
numerous turnovers,
including four on four
consecutive drives against
rival Screven County.
The War Eagles will play
the 3-3 McIntosh County
Academy on Friday night,
they will then travel to
Montgomery County
(10/20), a final home game
against ECI (10/27), and
will finish the season at
Portal (11/3). While the
season has been exciting
the coaches, players, and
fans know that these final
four games will detemiine
their postseason play. The
four games that matter
the most are the regional
games. All teams in GHSA
will begin their regional
schedules this week. These
last four games are sure to
be entertaining leading us
to playoffs!
