CARTERSVILLE — Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe coach John Allen and his Warriors recovered from their loss to Rome last week with a 14-7 Region 7-AAAA win over the Wildcats on Friday at Woodland.

The Warriors’ performance this week was far from embarrassing. L-FO (4-1, 2-1) combined for 378 total yards to Woodland’s 118.

L-FO quarterback Josh Woodard was an impressive 10-for-15 for 184 yards and touchdowns of 27 and 43 yards.

Jamal Stinson was the game’s leading rusher with 77 yards on 13 carries.

Woodland’s Quinton Kent scored on a quarterback keeper to cut the lead to 14-7 with 6:19 to play, but the Wildcats (2-3, 1-2) were unable to tie the game.

Hiram 20, Ridgeland 7

ROSSVILLE — Hiram rode the strong legs of Antonio Simms to a Region 7-AAAA win over Ridgeland.

Simms had a hand in three-quarters of the Hornets’ offensive plays, running 39 times for 222 yards and three second-half touchdowns, and snagging the visitors’ only pass completion for another 18 yards.

Undone by three second-half turnovers, Ridgeland dropped to 0-5 overall and 0-4 in region play.

The teams went to intermission scoreless, but the Panthers’ Dustin Foshay delighted a homecoming crowd by returning the second-half kickoff 92 yards for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead after Paul Flynn’s conversion.

Simms then took over and Ridgeland had no answer.
