Friday night's regular-season finale features Godby trying for back-to-back wins against Lincoln after having lost five straight in this crosstown rivalry from 2007 to 2011. The Cougars (8-1) ran away with the 5A Region 2 title and their only loss was against then-nationally ranked DeMatha (Hyattsville, Md.) back on Labor Day weekend. Lincoln captured the 7A Region 2 championship earlier in the year, but fell to just 6-3 on the season after losing a turnover-plagued game to Gainesville (20-14) on a sloppy field last Friday.
Just the facts: Senior quarterback
JT Bradwell has accounted for more than half of Godby's total yards and touchdowns this season. The Liberty commit has 2,288 combined passing and rushing yards and 24 total touchdowns. Lincoln's go-to guy on offense is senior running back
Matthew Donaldson. He ran for 212 yards and five touchdowns in a 41-14 rout of Taylor County (Perry) two weeks ago. … Both Godby and Lincoln played in a state championship game last season. Godby came away with the Class 5A crown while Lincoln finished runner-up in 7A.
