Week 10 of the high school football season in the Greater Savannah area is here as wins are at a premium for teams fighting to make the playoffs.
This season, the GHSA has implemented a Playoff Ranking System that will rank teams in each classification with No. 1 through No. 32 qualifying for the playoffs. Region standings won't be used to determine playoff seeds as a formula that factors in a team's winning percentage and opponent's winning percentage has been put in place.
With the regular season winding down, teams know that wins matter more than ever if they want to reach the postseason.
Richmond Hill (5-3) is set to host Lowndes (7-0), the No. 5 ranked team in Class 7A by the Atlanta Journal Constitution, in a Region 1-7A matchup.
In other games with local teams hosting, Benedictine takes on Wayne County and Groves will host Richmond Academy.
Windsor Forest plays Harlem at Islands Stadium and Savannah High will host Calvary Day, with New Hampstead hosting Long County at Pooler Stadium.
