TFR – GHSA Playoffs 8 Greats Around the State – Bonus Preview

There is only one team remaining in my home county, so what would a week of previews be without a mention of Cherokee County football. The Woodstock Wolverines avenged an early season loss to North Paulding with a victory in the first round of the state playoffs. The Marietta Blue Devils will come calling and they bring with them a rising star quarterback in Harrison Bailey, just back from an injury last week.  Both teams can put up numbers in bunches. We expect this one to be a high scoring game.

As always, thanks for reading. Please feel free to comment or share!
