GHSA football crossover games begin Thursday

The final week of the GHSA football season in Class 1A will get an early start.

Mount de Sales of Region 7-1A will host Region 3-1A foe Montgomery County at 6 p.m. on Thursday as part of an agreement to accommodate Region 3-1A’s scheduling issues created by Hurricane Matthew.

The crossover agreement accommodates two teams from each region. Hancock Central, which was originally slated to host Mount de Sales, will instead host Johnson County on Friday.

The remainder of the Region 7-1A crossover schedule will be played as planned, with games kicking off at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Tattnall Square travels to Washington-Wilkes for the region championship game.

Also, Stratford plays at Aquinas, FPD travels to Lincoln County, Twiggs County heads to Greene County and Wilkinson County goes to Warren County.

In Region 4-1A, Macon County travels to Manchester for the region title game. Taylor County goes to Brookstone, Crawford County heads to Greenville, Dooly County plays at Marion County and Hawkinsville is at Pacelli. Also, Schley County goes to Central-Talbotton.
