East Coweta continues to dominate the local headlines, especially after a 31-14 thumping of traditional-power Sandy Creek last week. The Indians now are 4-0 on the season and now face another strong program this week when East Coweta hits the road to meet Lownes.
Two other programs have winning records to date … Northgate is 3-1 on the year following a 34-3 win at Griffin and Central Christian is 2-1 after a 40-0 blanking of Hearts Academy.
