The regular season was a success, but the real challenge begins now, in the postseason. This Friday Athens Drive (7-4) takes on Pinecrest (7-4) in the first playoff game of the year. With three consecutive blowout wins, Athens Drive is looking for someone to give it a good challenge; hopefully Pinecrest will step up.
Athens Drive went up against Riverside-Durham last week. Athens Drive got off to a good start with a 26-point offensive effort in the first half. That gave them a 26 - 0 advantage at the half. The offense kept at it in the second half and scored another 21. In the end, Athens Drive steamrollered its way to an easy 47 - 6 victory.
As for Pinecrest, it has taken 11 games to get there, but it has finally bested an opponent on the road. It strolled past Hoke County last week with points to spare, taking the game 34 - 16.
While both teams are coming off of wins, only one will triumph this week. We'll find out soon enough who that will be.
