Page 10 - Wednesday, October 4, 2023 The Jenkins County Times j enkinsc ountytimes .com 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!
