Georgia high school football in review: Week 7 upsets, highlights and more

Newton and Westlake both displayed offensive explosiveness, but the Rams had the last laugh in a 40-38 win. Five-star running back Kevin Hartsfield pulled down a 37-yard touchdown pass between two Westlake defenders with less than a minute remaining to take the lead for good.

Walton entered as a six-point underdog to Marietta and left Friday night with a 56-42 win. The Raiders improved to 2-1 in region play with their highest-scoring game of the season.

Gainesville asserted its dominance early against Roswell and only build on its lead en route to a 34-5 win over the reigning region champion.

Longtime Benedictine coach Danny Britt sealed his 200th career win with a 48-10 victory over Evans. Britt has coached the Cadets since 2011, winning four state championships and 10 region titles.

Macon County and Taylor County scored more points in the final quarter than they did in the first three.

Macon County held a 21-20 with less than two minutes remaining when Taylor County nearly scored yet another touchdown. The Vikings broke off a massive gain on a screen pass only to fumble at the end, and Macon County recovered the ball. 

The Bulldogs hold a 21-20 lead at home, hoping to stay undefeated.

East Forsyth's Brooks Smallwood erupted in a 35-26 region-opening win over Madison County. Smallwood rushed for five touchdowns and over 300 yards, according to Nicholas Sullivan of the Forsyth County News.

Grayson's defensive talent did just enough to seal a nationally-ranked win over Carol City (Florida). The Rams won 10-9, improving to 3-3 on the season.

Grayson will start region play next week at cross-town rival Archer.

Westlake and Newton are in a battle of high-powered offenses, and the Rams just took the lead back with the most impressive score of the game.

Roscoe Hayes somehow snagged a fadeaway grab in the back corner of the end zone, kept himself inbounds and kept possession despite hard contact with the ground on this score.

McEachern broke its cross-town rival's heart with a walk-off field goal. The Indians converted a 32-yard kick with no time remaining for a 27-24 win over Hillgrove.

Windsor Forest and Liberty County shocked each other with less than 30 seconds remaining in their game, according to Nathan Dominitz of the Savannah Morning News.

Windsor Forest reportedly took its first lead of the game on a five-yard rushing touchdown with 28 seconds left. Twenty-four seconds later, Liberty County recovered with a 24-yard passing touchdown set up by a long kickoff return.

Liberty County won 24-19.

Peach County, which entered Friday as a 27-point favorite over Mary Persons, trailed 21-0 at halftime.

Then the Trojans came charging back, scoring 29 unanswered points for a 29-21 win.
