There are 25 total region games taking place in Class 4A this week and there will be region openers played in Region 1, Region 3, Region 6 and Region 7. In the five-team Region 1, No. 4 Bainbridge will host Class A Division I No. 5 ranked Brooks County in non-region play, and Cairo will open up region play at home against Shaw. The Syrupmakers are 5-1 on the year and are coming off a 55-0 win over Salem. In Region 2, No. 3 ranked Perry opened up region play last Friday with a 41-0 win over Howard and will visit West Laurens next—who was served a 44-27 loss to Griffin to drop to 1-0 in region play. No. 7 Spalding will take on Griffin Saturday and Baldwin will host Howard after falling 34-0 last week to Spalding and exiting the poll.
No. 6 Burke County and No. 9 Wayne County meet in a big Region 3 opener and top 10 showdown. Burke County is fresh off a 34-0 win over Statesboro and Wayne County also produced a shutout in its latest 9-0 win over Jenkins. No. 1 ranked Benedictine will host New Hampstead and Islands is fresh off a bye and will look for its first win of the season against a 3-2 Southeast Bulloch squad.
The big news in Region 4 was the season-ending injury to Troup quarterback Taeo Todd and now the Tigers will look to bounce back from last week’s 20-18 loss to Starr’s Mill against North Clayton. LaGrange will take on Riverdale tonight and the other key matchups with playoff implications will be Fayette County at Whitewater and Trinity Christian at Starr’s Mill. Trinity Christian and Starr’s Mill are currently at the top of the region standings after improving to 2-0 last week. In Region 7, undefeated Central-Carroll will clash with reigning region champion Cedartown in a banner matchup.
