MACON, Ga. — The 12th week of Football Friday Night is here, and we’ve got a slate of Central Georgia teams set to go head-to-head. Here are some of the games we’re keeping an eye on.
Perry vs Warner Robins
There's a Houston County rivalry scheduled for Friday night, when Perry and Warner Robins meet at McConnell-Talbert Stadium.
The 7-2 Panthers have already clinched the region title, but Perry would love to cap off their championship season with a win over the Demons.
On the other side, the Demons - sitting at 6-3 - have clinched a playoff spot, but they'd like to get a little momentum on their side before the postseason arrives.
The best way to earn that momentum? Taking down a familiar foe.
ACE vs Washington County
ACE is fighting for its playoff life when Washington County comes to town on Friday Night.
After a midseason slump, the Gryphons have won three straight games behind an electric offense. Quarterback Ace Hatcher has the team in position to make the playoffs, if they can just overcome Washington County.
Meanwhile, Washington County is hitting its stride late in the year. The Golden Hawks have won four of their last five matchups after starting the year with a 1-3 record.
Two of those wins have come by a combined three points; Washington County has found a way to win in tough situations, and they may need to do that once more against ACE.
Northeast vs East Laurens
The Northeast Raiders have their sights set on a deep playoff run.
The Raiders are 7-2, and have scored at least 33 points in each of their wins this season.
East Laurens is their final bump on the road before the postseason, and it won't be an easy task for the Falcons to slow down this Raiders offense.
Quarterback Reginald Glover and running back Nick Woodford have combined to form a dynamic tandem in the backfield, and the Falcons will need to find a way to slow them down if they want to win this one.
