MACON, Ga. — The high school football season in Central Georgia continues as we wrap up week 8.
There were plenty of upsets, close calls, and blowout wins on Friday night, including Tattnall staged a dramatic comeback over rival Stratford.
Game of the Week
Tattnall 33, Stratford 28
Stratford was up 28-20 with under five minutes left but the game changed on a touchdown and onside kick recovery to give the Trojans a chance to complete the comeback. With seven seconds left, Tattnall scored the go-ahead touchdown. This rivalry always seems to come down to the wire. It once again lived up to that reputation.
Three Stars
Spoon Risper, Westside head coach: 100 wins. What a special accomplishment for Risper and the Seminoles. He has led Westside to a lot of winning seasons and reaching the century mark is a high mark in high school football. Now the countdown is on to 200.
Dublin football: Bleckley County looked like a powerhouse through the first part of the season but the Irish managed to slow them down in a big 31-13 win on Friday. Dublin has struggled at times this season but winning as an underdog over a top team like Bleckley County could be just what the doctor ordered.
Antwann Hill Jr.: He finished 20-of-27 with more than 200 yards passing in the Bears win over Northside on Thursday night. He continues to live up to the hype. Hill is the real deal and has a legitimate claim to being the best quarterback not only in Central Georgia but the entire state.
