Pierce County 49, Jackson County 21: Three Stetson Bennett touchdown passes led the way for the Bears over visiting Jackson County.

Oconee County 42, West Hall 38: Quarterback Zeb Noland completed three touchdown passes, including a 44-yarder to Roques Dowdy with 59 seconds remaining to lead Oconee County. He also scored a touchdown on a 1-yard run. Oconee jumped to a 14-0 lead after Noland passed to Dylan Phillips for a six-yard touchdown, then to Chase Major for a 56-yard score. West Hall cut the lead on an 18-yard touchdown run by Tyquan Osborne. Noland's 1-yard touchdown gave Oconee a 21-7 lead, but West Hall responded with a 9-yard run by Tyrese Osborne. Oconee then scored twice, on Christian Casey's 3-yard run and a Jaleel Laguins' 5-yard run to take what appeared to be a commanding 35-14 lead at the half. But West Hall battled back with three unanswered second-half touchdowns - Kwon Williams from 21 yards, Isaiah Rowe from the one, Williams on a 77-yard run - and a 32-yard field goal by Brad Hodgson with 3:41 remaining to take a 38-35 lead. That set the stage for Noland's game-winning pass.
Washington County 73, Jackson-Atlanta 28: AJ Gray and the Golden Hawks over-powered visiting Jackson-Atlanta thanks to four first half Gray touchdowns and an interception from Gray on defense. A 19-yard touchdown pass to Jaquavious Latimer got the scoring started for WACO. Gray ran for a 9-yard touchdown before Quentavious Monday found Orenzo Smith for a touchdown and conversion to bring the score to 14-8. That would be as close as the Jaguars would get however, as Gray immediately answered on a 63-yard run. Gray proceeded to intercept a pass and set up a Darius Tucker touchdown to expand the lead to 28-8. A 65-yard run from Gray and a 28-yard field goal for the Golden Hawks ended the half at 38-8.
