Friday night saw one team get its first win over some really good competition, one team come back to secure a big win and another team fall badly to a powerhouse.

Heritage topped Flowery Branch 35-16 to get new head coach Wendell Early and the Patriots their first win of the season.

Salem, after trailing most of the game, came back to win 19-17 over Clarke Central.

Coming off a 45-15 loss to Lowndes, Rockdale wasn't able to do much better against Stockbridge, as they fell 54-24.
