Suggested Video




The Fitzgerald Purple Hurricane will face off against the Crisp County Cougars at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.

After dropping their season opener at home, Crisp County is headed out to face a Purple Hurricane squad ready to give their home crowd a win. Fitzgerald took a 19-13 hit to the loss column at the hands of Irwin County.

Meanwhile, Crisp County ended up a good deal behind Lovett on Friday and lost 30-14. While losing is never fun, the Cougars can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Georgia football rankings (they are ranked 223rd, while the Lions are ranked 89th).

The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Hagan Slimp, who threw for 115 yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
