The No. 4 Bulldogs beat 4A’s Cairo 26-21 after trailing 21-0. They’re 3-0. Twenty of the Bulldogs’ points came in the second half, as Thomasville Times-Enterprise correspondent Tim Morse writes.

The No. 8 Indians won 30-22 over 4A’s West Laurens despite being down by 20 in the second half. They’re also 3-0.

  • The No. 9 Vidalia Indians’ stay in the rankings might be brief after they lost their opener 14-7 to 1A Public’s Emanuel County Institute. Bob Roberts has the writeup for Southeast Georgia Today.
  • The tenth-ranked Jeff Davis Yellow Jackets made quick work of last-minute opponent of 4A’s Jenkins, winning 39-7. The Jackets (3-0) added Jenkins after Brantley County Covid-canceled on them.
