In the biggest storyline going into the night, Riverside Military Academy was back on the grass at McGinnis Field after COVID-19 shuttered the Eagles' season in 2020. East Hall rolled past the Eagles 52-14.

As expected North Hall and Flowery Branch gave each other a serious fight with the Falcons coming out on top 17-13 at Falcon Field. Meanwhile, at Lakeview Academy, the Lions blew past Lumpkin County, 33-14.

The area's newest school, East Forsyth, got its first taste of varsity football against White County. The Warriors walked out of 1/2 Mile Stadium with a 34-6 win. 

In other action, East Jackson held on to beat Oglethorpe, 21-17. Rabun County racked up 44 points en route to a 44-14 win over St. Francis in Tiger.
