Augusta-area high school football live scoreboard for Week 12

It’s the final dress rehearsal before the GHSA football playoffs begin. Hephzibah (8-1) travels to The Brickyard sitting firmly at No. 8 in the GHSA PSR rankings for Class 3A. For Thomson (4-5), it’s hard to see anything but a blowout loss here knocking the Bulldogs (No. 28) out of the postseason. That said, a win here leaves nothing to chance. Elsewhere in 3A, Burke County (6-3) hosts a winless Cross Creek team as the 20 th -ranked Bears prepare for a tune up before the playoffs begin. Westside (4-5) is right on the bubble at No. 31. A win at Butler (3-6) will have the Patriots dancing for the second year in a row. In Class 5A, Richmond Academy (7-2) travels to Savannah to close out its regular season against Jenkins (3-6). The Musketeers are ranked 13 th in the PSR standings and a win over the Warriors would secure an opening-round game on Walton Way. In Class 4A, Harlem (6-3) hosts New Hampstead (4-5) in its regular-season finale. The Bulldogs are ranked 25 th in the PSR. Aquinas (7-2) is ranked 8 th in the Class 2A standings and is the third-ranked private school overall behind Prince Avenue

Strom Thurmond football rolls through Silver Bluff for a 2nd time to advance in playoffs

JOHNSTON — Strom Thurmond football may have come out on top to start the playoffs, but head coach Andrew Webb knows the work is far from over. On paper, another 46-13 victory over Silver Bluff to open the postseason looked dominant. But, after giving up two more touchdowns to the Bulldogs than they did a couple of weeks ago, Webb said the key moving forward will be consistency. “ Didn't play our best; we'll go fix it and keep trying to get better on Monday,” he said. “Thought we did a lot of good things well, threw the ball down the field well. Defense played really well at times. We’ve just g...
