Tigers Bounced From Playoffs
Commerce had their season end in round 1 of the playoffs again this year. They played a close game to a much more athletic team in Wilkinson County but lost 21-7.
I was hoping a Jefferson loss would ease the hurt of our loss but the Dragons did eventually win their game. Banks County did not as they were flogged 63-0 by Calhoun. The only teams from 8-A who won were Athens Academy & Weslayan.
