With just three weeks left and everyone full steam ahead toward the playoffs and the end of the 2023 regular season, what do we know?

Twenty-two former University of Georgia football players will be inducted into the Georgia High School Football Hall of Fame Saturday in Atlanta.

No. 1-ranked Buford rolled through its opening two games on Monday in a Class 7A Sectional at the Buford Softball Complex.

Sam Howell threw three short passes for touchdowns, Washington intercepted Desmond Ridder three times and the Commanders snapped a three-game losing streak with a 24-16 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

Jordan McCloud threw three touchdown passes, Kaelon Black scored three times and unbeaten James Madison avenged a tough loss from last season with a 41-13 victory over Georgia Southern on Saturday.

No. 1 Georgia got three field goals from kicker Peyton Woodring, ran for 281 yards, and remained undefeated with a 37-20 win over Vanderbilt on Saturday afternoon at FirstBank Stadium.

Rain. Two power-rushing teams. Stingy defenses. It figured to be a monumental ground battle between No. 1 Buford and No. 2 Mill Creek for early supremacy in Region 8-7A and Class 7A. Wrong.

Of the 26 teams covered by AccessWDUN/Friday Game Night, not a single one has a chance to clinch a playoff spot this week.

While every region is now in the middle of their roads to the playoffs, NONE will hold as much attention as when Buford, ranked No. 1 in Class 7A, travels to Hoschton to take on No. 2 Mill Creek in a battle for Region 8-7A supremacy.

The top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs can extend their school record winning streak to 24 straight and their record of consecutive wins in the regular season to 34 with a win Saturday at Vanderbilt.
