Westover

vs. Monroe

Game time/location: 7:30 p.m./Hugh Mills Stadium.

Records: Westover 0-1, Monroe 2-0.

Last week: Westover off, Monroe beat Terrell County 51-32.

Series history: Monroe leads 30-17-1.

Last meeting: Monroe beat Westover 21-6 last season.

Notes: The first round of the Albany city series features a dual-threat quarterback with big numbers going up against a linebacker with FBS-level interest … Monroe’s David Dillard has thrown for just shy of 500 yards in two games and had triple-digit rushing yardage in wins over Jordan and Terrell County … Westover’s Jamie Pettway has a 247sports.com three-star ranking and has an interest list that includes Louisville, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee and Vanderbilt, as well as an offer from Georgia Tech … Monroe has won the past four games in the series.

Peach County

at Lee County

Game time: 7:30 p.m.

Records: Peach County 1-0, Lee County 2-0.

Last week: Peach County beat Northside-Warner Robins 27-24; Lee County beat Dr. Phillips (Orlando, Florida) 35-3.

Series history: First meeting.

Notes: Lee County, the top-ranked team in the Georgia Sports Writers Association Class 6A poll, takes on the No. 2 team in Class 3A … Peach County comes off a victory over Northside, which was ranked third in Class 6A at the time … Peach County is traditionally strong in the skill positions, especially at receiver, something that will test a Lee County defense that hasn’t yielded a touchdown so far this season … Lee County head coach Dean Fabrizio said wide receiver Chauncey Magwood is listed as questionable following last week’s game in which Magwood needed medical attention after taking a big hit.

Sherwood Christian

at Pataula Charter

Game time: 7:30 p.m.

Records: Sherwood 0-2, Pataula Charter 0-2.

Last week: Rocky Bayou Christian (Niceville, Florida) beat Sherwood 27-14; Aucilla Christian (Monticello, Florida) beat Pataula 52-0.

Series history: First meeting.

Notes: A long-awaited victory is on the line for both teams tonight in Edison … Sherwood is looking to snap a 29-game losing streak that began at the start of the 2015 season … Pataula, which is in its third year of varsity competition, is looking for its first victory over a team other than Cross Keys, a school in the Atlanta area that Pataula plays a home-and-home series with every year.

Tift County

Game time: 7:30 p.m.

Records: Tift County 1-1, Worth County 0-2.

Series history: Tift County leads 12-10.

Last meeting: Tift County won 49-14 in 2013.

Notes: Tift County, a Class 7A program, visits Class 3A Worth County after losing to Class 5A No. 3 Warner Robins and beating Class 6A No. 6 Valdosta … Worth County’s losing streak was stretched to 13 games last week, but both of this year’s losses (Turner County, Dooly County) were closer than any of last year’s setbacks … Worth County’s schedule becomes easier moving forward, with the Rams facing a pair of sub-.500 teams from last year (at Early County, home vs. Rutland) the next two weeks.

Series history: Mitchell County leads 2-0.

Last meeting: Mitchell County won 33-20 last season.

Notes: Mitchell County’s two biggest region tests prior to its season-ending showdown with Pelham come this week and next … Chattahoochee County finished third in Region 1-1A last year, its only losses in region play coming to Mitchell County and Pelham … Next week, Mitchell County travels to Miller County, which finished fourth in the 10-team region last year … Mitchell County had a week off following its season-opening 43-6 loss to Class 2A No. 2 Brooks County.

at Seminole County

Game time: 7:30 p.m.

Records: Calhoun County 0-1, 0-0 GHSA Region 1-1A; Seminole County 0-1, 0-0.

Last week: Southland beat Southwest Georgia 29-6; Deerfield-Windsor beat Westfield 15-12.
