Week 4: Weather, area teams light up the sky on big night for prep football

The weather played havoc with a number of contests around northeast Georgia on Friday night, but the area's teams also put up some fireworks of their own during Week 4 of the high school football season.

(NOTE: Scroll down for a complete list of scores for area teams, and visit our Friday Game Night page for game stories and video highlights.)

Christian Charles has been impressive all season for Chestatee, and Friday was no exception, as rolled up 508 total yards to help the War Eagles to their first win of the campaign 45-42 at Fannin County.

But that was only a sliver of what turned out to be some eye-opening results, including a 27-20 fightback for North Hall at White County after the Trojans trailed 12-0.

Jefferson also battled back from an early deficit to knock off Gainesville 42-10 in a game interrupted by storms at Memorial Stadium.

In Oakwood, Johnson pulled off its most lopsided win in program history and moved to 4-1 with a 58-0 defeat of Cross Keys.

All three northeast Georgia Region 8-2A teams won on the road, as Rabun County rolled over Putnam County 42-20, Union County fended off Monticello 38-22, and Banks County took out Social Circle 32-10.

In non-region play, Buford rode a slow first quarter before taking control just before the half in an eventual 54-27 defeat of Newton. And Dawson County picked up a 38-21 win over Denmark on the road.

Habersham Central also saw a 28-7 lead at The Reservation slip away as Stephens County grabbed a 41-28 victory to halt a three-game win streak for the Raiders.

In Region 8-A Towns County suffered a 41-7 loss at George Walton. Both East Jackson and Commerce were hammered by bad weather and got off to very late starts.
