Colquitt County beat Valdosta in the state’s most anticipated game Friday night, but it was Lovejoy’s 19-7 victory over North Gwinnett that spelled the most stunning outcome of the fourth weekend of the Georgia high school football season.
Lovejoy entered 3-0 but was unranked in Class 6A after beating undistinguished teams from lower classifications. North Gwinnett was 3-0 and ranked No. 3 in Class 7A after a decisive victory last week over state power Parkview. North was pegged as a 38-point favorite.
Colquitt County earned some satisfaction with a 24-10 victory in Valdosta coach Rush Propst’s return to Moultrie.
No. 1 Grayson, No. 2 Lowndes and No. 6 Brookwood had nice victories too on Friday. Grayson beat Archer 26-7; Lowndes took out Class 6A’s No. 2 team, Lee County, 38-6; and Brookwood beat No. 5 Mill Creek 24-13.
