In the final day of competition at the Huntingdon College Jubilee, the Lady Lions again split their action with a 3-1 loss to Sewanee and a straight sets 3-0 victory over Talladega College.

West Hall, Commerce, Lanier, and Jefferson all continued their winning ways in grand style while Buford saw its 42-game win streak come to a screeching halt on a Friday night of lopsided wins around northeast Georgia.

It almost looked like West Hall was taking out its frustrations from a week ago on the Chestatee defense.

Defending Region 8-AAAAA champion Lanier opened defense of its title with a dominating 37-20 win over Clarke Central Friday night at Longhorns Stadium.

Caleb Brooks ran for two scores and threw for one and J’Varius Wood ran for one score and caught two touchdown passes to lead Commerce to a 35-0 shellacking of Hebron Christian Friday night.

Jackson County held White County to just 50 yards of total offense in taking a 17-0 win over the Warriors on the road Friday night.

Atlanta took a one-run lead in the eighth inning Friday night, then saw the Washington Nationals tie it in the ninth and win 5-2 on Michael Taylor's pinch-hit three-run homer in the tenth.

North Forsyth got its Region 6-AAAAAA schedule off to a good start with a 37-27 win over Chattahoochee Friday night on the road.

For several teams, the real season gets under way starting Friday.

The Atlanta Falcons have released quarterbacks Rex Grossman and T.J. Yates, leaving Sean Renfree as the backup to starter Matt Ryan.
