TIFTON — Most of the playoff football teams in the Tiftarea know where they will be next week.

After securing the No. 4 seed out of Region 1-AAAAA with a 45-12 victory over the Colquitt County Packers Friday night, the Tift County Blue Devils will be on the road in Kingsland to face the Camden County Wildcats.

The winner of that contest will face the winner of the East Coweta-Stephenson game.

With a 27-20 loss to the Valwood School Valiants Friday, the Tiftarea Academy Panthers will be on the road Monday night for a mini-region playoff at the Brookwood School.

Tiftarea, the Southwest Georgia Academy Warriors and the Valiants all ended the Region 3-AA race with matching 1-2 records. So the three teams will meet in Thomasville at the Brookwood stadium to decide the No. 2 seed from the league.

The event will begin at 6 p.m. and will have Tiftarea facing Southwest Georgia. The playoff will be done like an overtime period. There will be a coin toss and then one team will take over on the 25-yard line. The teams will take turns from the 25 and the first team that loses a round will lose that playoff.

For example, if one team kicks a field goal, the other team has to at least kick a field goal to stay alive.

After the Tiftarea-Southwest round, Southwest will take on Valwood. If Southwest wins both of those games, they would take the event as the first team that wins two of the mini-games will advance.

“It will be the first team that wins twice, so Southwest could win it in the first two rounds,” Tiftarea coach Marvin Barton said.

Tiftarea will go into Monday without wide receiver Dustin Hill, who was injured Friday night against Valwood.

The eventual winner of the mini-playoff will go into the state playoffs on the road Friday against Holy Spirit Prep, a school from Atlanta.

Fitzgerald defeated the Brooks County Trojans 35-23 Friday night in Quitman. However Thomasville defeated Early County to secure the Region 1-AA championship. That means the Purple Hurricanes of Fitzgerald will enter the state playoffs as the second seed out of 1-AA and will host the Screven County Gamecocks Friday night at Jaycee Stadium.

In the win over Brooks, the Purple Hurricanes had 299 yards rushing on 45 carries and quarterback Brad Taylor was 4-for-10 passing for 65 more yards.

Jemea Thomas led the team on offense with 165 yards rushing on 16 carries. He also had touchdown runs of 56 yards, 19 yards and five yards.

Nick Williams also had a touchdown run of four yards as he rushed 19 times for 108 yards.
