Basketball: A few key region battles on the hardwood tonight

By Bo Wilson Sports Editor

Teams across seven northeast Georgia regions will face key region matchups Friday night.

On the boy's side, Denmark travels to Chestatee in a battle for third place in Region 7-4A. 

Banks County takes the ride to Social Circle to fight it out for second in Region 8-2A

On the girl's side, in Region 8-6A, Gainesville heads over to Bulldogg country to play Winder-Barrow. If the Bulldoggs win, it will create a tie for third. 

In Region 8-5A, Buford hosts Loganville. If Loganville pulls the upset, it'll knock the Lady Wolves out of first place and, with a Clarke Central win, would push them to the top.

In Region 7-3A, Cherokee Bluff will welcome Lumpkin. The Lady Bears are coming off a close loss to region leader North Hall on Tuesday. Lumpkin should be well-rested and ready to go. This game could be a showdown. 

In Region 8-A, Lakeview Academy goes to Commerce in a game that could shake up the region standings. If Commerce wins, it would catapult them from sixth to the top-four.
