Three of the top-10 teams will enjoy off weeks during the fourth week of the football season, and other than top-ranked Bowdon traveling to Class 2A Westside-Macon on Thursday, Class A Division II’s top teams should have a relaxing Friday evening.

Bowdon is coming off a 37-17 victory against Bremen last week. Westside-Macon is 1-2, including a 26-20 victory against Howard and losses to Florida’s First Baptist Christian (49-0) and Class 3A Westover (56-31) last week.

Highlighting Friday’s competition is No. 6 Greene County at Class 2A No. 6 Morgan County in the 58th edition of the series, which dates to 1966. Greene County trails 25-31, with one tie in 1968. Greene County won 24-14 last season, which broke a four-game Morgan County winning streak.

Greene County is 3-0 with victories against Putnam County (28-20), Twiggs County (36-0) and Haralson County (25-3). Morgan County is 3-0 after defeating Warren County (48-16), Putnam County (42-28) and Oconee County (24-13).

Greene Quarterback Landon Garrettson is 33-of-46 passing for 377 yards and four touchdowns. Junior Travez Gibson has 43 carries for 244 yards and three touchdowns; senior Amari Durham has 18 carries for 233 yards and two touchdowns, and senior Doremus Alexander has eight carries for 106 yards and a touchdown. Miller leads receivers with 14 catches for 172 yards and two touchdowns.

Morgan County quarterback Davis Strickland is 46-of-63 passing for 795 yards and nine touchdowns, and Jaylen Elder has 20 receptions for 433 yards and five touchdowns.

Region 3 is opening league play: Claxton will play Screven County; No. 9 Emanuel County Institute faces McIntosh County Academy; Portal plays Jenkins County, and Savannah meets Bryan County.
