Playoff time is here, and Southwest Georgia Academy and Gatewood are set to clash on Friday at 7:30 PM. Southwest Georgia Academy know how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with flashy point totals in its past eight matchups -- so hopefully Gatewood like a good challenge.

Southwest Georgia Academy were fully in charge, breezing past Briarwood Academy 50-12.

If you haven't heard Benton's name lately, then you haven't been paying much attention: he has loomed large in their past nine games.
Meanwhile, five stomps in nine total games is nothing to scoff at, and that's exactly where Gatewood stand after their most recent match two weeks ago. They made easy work of Piedmont Academy and carried off a 41-8 win. The matchup was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 20-0.
