MACON, Ga. — The high school football season in Central Georgia continues as we wrap up week 10.
There were plenty of upsets, close calls, and blowout wins on Friday night, including Northside who grabbed a win over Lee County in stunning fashion.
Game of the Week
Northside 23, Lee County 20
The Eagles were down by 20 with less than 7 minutes to play in the game. Then they staged a comeback for the ages against one of the top teams in the state. Northside won on a scoop-and-score after Lee County tried to waste the final seven seconds off the clock but fumbled, opening the door for the Eagles to complete the comeback. This one will be talked about for a while.
Three Stars
Chad Alligood, Northside head coach: This team has been on the cusp of a breakthrough under Alligood and finally got it with the signature win over Lee County. This is the type of win that can propel them forward as we get closer to the playoffs. This was a special win for sure and just another reminder that Alligood is one of the best coaches in Central Georgia as week in and week out he has his guys playing to the final whistle regardless of the score.
ACE: It looked as though Rutland might find a way to comeback and win this game but ACE slammed the door shut. This is another nod to the turnaround that head coach Keith Hatcher has engineered this season. In previous seasons, this would’ve been the type of game ACE might falter down the stretch but not this time.
Central and Southwest: In a week where Bibb County teams struggled with Northeast, Howard and Westside losing, the Chargers put together their most impressive performance to date. Southwest also grabbed a win on Thursday night as they bounced back from a loss last time out against Spencer.
