The majority of the Greater Valley Area football teams are now done for the regular season. Chambers Academy, Lanett and LaFayette all have last-week byes while Springwood School played at Lee-Scott on Thursday night to wrap up the regular year.
A trio of teams, however, are still in action tonight, including a couple of home games.
Beulah (3-6, 1-6) is hosting McKenzie (1-8, 1-6) to finish the 2019 campaign on senior night for the Bobcats. The home team will attempt to snap a five-game losing streak, coming off of a 55-14 loss to Pike Road last week. McKenzie looks to end a seven-game losing streak of its own, coming off of a 40-6 loss to Elba last week. In 2018, Beulah defeated McKenzie 54-7.
Troup County (5-3, 2-2) is hosting Central (3-5, 1-3) tonight at Callaway Stadium. The Tigers are coming off of a 15-8 loss to Cedartown last week for their second region loss of the season. Central will look to end a three-game losing streak after falling short against region-opponent Chapel Hill last week 35-27. Troup County has one more week of the regular season, hosting region-opponent Cartersville on Nov. 8.
Valley (6-3, 5-1) heads on the road tonight to finish off the regular season with a trip to 6A Benjamin Russell (4-5, 1-4). The Rams have already clinched hosting the first round of the playoffs on Nov. 8 after winning the 5A Region 2 title last week. Benjamin Russell will look to continue its end of the season momentum, coming off of a 54-14 win over Calera on Oct. 18. In 2018, Benjamin Russell defeated Valley 14-2.
