Here is the weekly wrap up of the high school football games from around Middle Georgia.
Westside 18 vs Central 6
Early in the first quarter, the Westside Seminoles grabbed a 6-0 lead behind a Tyshaun Freeman touchdown run. The team looked poised to add to its lead but were intercepted on the next drive. The Seminoles defense stepped up and didn’t allow the turnover to lead to any points for the Chargers as they stopped them on fourth down. The next drive the Seminoles would capitalize with a touchdown to extend their lead to 12-0 after a missed conversion. Central defense made plays all night long as they forced another interception that led to its only score of the night. Quarterback Donald Lamb looked impressive at times for the Chargers but was unable to lead a comeback.

Hunter Costlow was again a star for Jones County as he connected on 62-yard touchdown pass with Jontavis Robertson.
