Friday Game Night

Buford held Mountain View to 105 total yards en route to a 51-0 blowout at Tom Riden Stadium on Friday.

It took Habersham Central two quarters to get warmed up. Once they did, it was over.

Commerce, Gainesville, and Lumpkin County all wrapped up region titles on Friday in what was a thrilling second-to-last week of the 2023 regular season.

Lumpkin County began playing football in 1961. The Indians are into their 63rd season of football in the Georgia High School Association. They have never hoisted a region title banner.

Not only is it the busiest week of the season in terms of number of games, but Week 11 may be the biggest week of the season with playoff fates hanging in the balance for a dozen teams in the northeast Georgia area.

If Commerce can knock off Rabun County at home on Friday, they'll be crowned Region 8-A Division 1 champions.

It wasn't pretty, but North Hall will take it.

Just like the other Games2Watch features this week, the Gainesville-North Forsyth showdown at Raider Valley on Friday has the potential to crown a region champ.

Commerce girls soccer coach Scott Tolbert joined the 12-1 guest picker club with Lumpkin County boys basketball coach Chris Faulkner with his Week 10 finish in the standings.

Dawson County hoisting the 2022 Region 7-3A championship at the Burial Grounds last season is etched in the mind of every player on the Lumpkin County roster.
