MACON, Ga. — The sixth week of Football Friday Night is in the books. This week offered up some big upsets, a couple of nail-biters, and a pair of rivals squaring off in Houston County.
Here is a look at a roundup of scores and highlights from around Central Georgia:
Game Of the Week
Houston County 41, Warner Robins 7
The Warner Robins Demons have been a dominant force in high school football over the last few years but the Houston County Bears have now won two in a row in the series. The offense for the Bears has been great all season but the defense showed up and showed out against the Demons.
Three Stars
Marquis Westbrook, Peach County Head Coach: Congratulations to Coach Westbrook on his first win as a Trojan. He is one of the best coaches in the area and it is good to see him grab a win this week.
FPD: On a night when the GIAA teams from the area struggled, FPD put together a convincing win over Mount Pisgah. The Vikings are the real deal and will make a run at a title this year if they continue to play at this level.
Crawford County: They got a big win over Twiggs County and took home our Play of the Week. Great week for Crawford County.

WHAT’S NEXT?
Houston County vs Lee County
The Bears will face one of the toughest tests to date. This might be a good measuring stick for where this team will be come playoff time. A win would be quite the statement and could signal that they are ready to compete for a state championship. A loss wouldn’t be the end of the world but would need to make some adjustments going forward.
