Graceville (6-2) at Cottondale (4-4) 7 pm
It’s another huge game for these two ole Jackson County rivals. Never mind that bragging rights for the western half of the county are on the line, this game has huge playoff implications. Simply Put, the winner heads to the playoffs as the district runner up while the loser will pack up their equipment after next week’s season finale. After struggling early in the season the Hornets have now won 3 in a row, including last week’s exciting 20-18 win over Maclay. Graceville has mowed down most of their opponents, losing only to Marianna (7-1) and FAMU (6-3). The Tigers are averaging 37.7 points per game this season. And the Tigers have won the last five meetings between these long time rivals. The last win for Cottondale came in 2002. Look for another classic showdown that goes right down to the final horn.

Marianna (7-1) at Walton (5-3) 7 pm
Like the Graceville vs. Cottondale game, the implications for this game are simple. The winner heads to the playoffs as the district runner up while the loser will pack up their equipment after next week’s season finale. Marianna hammered Northview last week to pick up their 7th win of the season. Walton started 5-1 but has since lost back to back games, falling 31-0 to Pensacola Catholic and then losing 38-12 last week to West Florida. These two teams started playing each other in 1925 and since 1940 have played in all but 5 seasons (80, 81,82,95 & 96). In their last 64 meetings the Bulldogs own a 39-24 advantage over the Braves.

Sneads ( 3-5) host Freeport (4-4) 7 pm
The Pirates picked up a big 18-12 win over the Bulldogs of Liberty County last week. They’ve got another pack of ‘Dogs coming in this week as they host Freeport for Homecoming. The Pirates got a 243 yard rushing performance from Mark Lawson last week. Lawson has now rushed for over 1,100 yards on the season. The Bulldogs started 4-1 on the season but have since lost three in a row. But those three loses came to tough squads like Jay, West Gadsden and last week’s 31-20 loss to Port St. Joe.
