The Friday Cheat Sheet: Local teams prepare to finish regular season strong as playoff contention looms

With just one Friday evening of high school football left on the regular season docket tonight, six local teams will be completing their region slate before the first round of the Georgia High School Association’s state playoffs is set to begin. Tonight, I will be heading to Varnell to witness Coahulla Creek in action for one final time in 2026 as they welcome LaFayette to Colts Stadium. With a 3-6 record overall and a 1-5 Region 7-3A record, the Colts currently place eighth in the region standings, five behind No. 3 LaFayette. If Coahulla Creek can knock off the 6-3 Ramblers, the Colts have the opportunity to make up some ground in the final region standings. Helping to potentially make the movement up the rankings will be an offense led by several Coahulla starters, including two recent historymakers.
