No. 21 Spencer upsets 10th-ranked Westover to improve chances for state playoff berth

In an upset that went down to the last play of the game, the Spencer Greenwave (6-3, 5-2) held on for a 21-18 win against the Westover Patriots (7-3, 5-3) Monday night at Odis Spencer Stadium in Columbus. Spencer’s victory boosted the Greenwave over 10th-ranked Westover into third place in Region 1 of the Georgia High School Association Class 4A. The GHSA’s latest postseason rankings have the Greenwave at No. 21 in Class 4A with one game left in their regular season. The top 32 teams in each classification qualify for the state playoffs. The game was moved to Monday night due to Hurricane Isaias. The original game was scheduled for Oct. 10. Spencer has now won three straight games, including two in a five-day period after the Greenwave defeated Monroe 32-6 Thursday. In the first quarter, Spencer took a 7-0 lead when senior running back Wesley Crawford fumbled into the end zone, and it was recovered by senior fullback Zion Wineglass. Spencer got a big stop on fourth down while Westover was driving, and then the Greenwave was produced a drive of their own. Terrell’s put them in Westover territory, and Spencer led 14-0 at the half. Westover responded
