When and where Middle GA high school football teams will play in third round of playoffs

With another exciting round of playoffs done, several Middle Georgia teams look to extend their seasons Friday night.

Houston County and Warner Robins moved on in notable wins last week, while several regional schools including Northeast, Perry and Northside all saw their seasons come to an end.

Here’s a look at the remaining Middle Georgia playoff teams and their schedules.

GHSA Class 6A

Houston County (10-2) @ Gainesville (12-0)

After their first round OT win, the Bears pulled another exciting upset, this time coming back from a 10-point fourth quarter deficit. They dominated North Atlanta late to win 41-31 and now face the undefeated Red Elephants in what could be their toughest game yet.

When: Friday, Nov. 25 at 7 p.m.

GHSA Class 5A

Warner Robins (8-4) @ Creekside (10-2)

The Demons chose the right time to get hot, as they won their seventh straight game last week over Northside-Columbus 38-7 to advance to the third round. They’ll face the Creekside Seminoles, who just throttled Dalton 61-0, at their stadium in Fairburn.

When: Friday, Nov. 25 at 7:30 p.m.

GHSA Class A-Division I

Bleckley County (10-2) at St. Francis (9-3)
