Each Monday we'll take a look at what happened on the gridiron over the weekend in Woodstock-Towne Lake Patch.
Etowah 17, Lassiter 14 – In true nail-biter fashion, Etowah needed a goalline stop at its 1-yard line on fourth-and-goal late in the game to hold onto a 3-point victory Thursday over Lassiter, according to the Cherokee Tribune. The win settled matters cleanly in Region 5-AAAAA play. Lassiter finished at 3-3 and will enter the playoffs with the No. 4 seed from the region. Etowah finished at 4-2 and earned the No. 3 seed. (Video Link) River Ridge 48, North Murray 34 – The running game has been a strong point for River Ridge all season, and Friday’s game was no exception as sophomore E.J. Ellis carried the ball 20 times for 252 yards and six touchdowns, according to the Cherokee Tribune. Ellis wasn’t the only star that carried that ball. …

River Ridge is on the road while Woodstock hosts Walton. Etowah played last night.
River Ridge (7-2, 1-0) at North Murray (0-9, 0-6) – River Ridge got back on track last week with a 39-point win over Social Circle. Since the Knights aren’t eligible for the playoffs, tonight’s contest at North Murray will be their final game of the season. The Mountaineers haven’t won a game all season. Walton (9-0, 5-0) at Woodstock (4-5, 1-4) – Woodstock has dropped its last four games in a row and scored just less than six points per game on average over that time. The Wolverines have already been mathematically eliminated from postseason play, so tonight they are only playing for a shot at an upset over Walton, the eighth-ranked team in the state. Walton is perfect on the season and has been cruising of late, beating its last three …

River Ridge 45, Social Circle 7 – With Friday’s win, River Ridge moved to 7-2, according to the Cherokee Tribune, and has already enjoyed its best season on record.

Lassiter 30, Woodstock 10 – Two touchdowns on kickoff returns were the difference in Friday’s game, according to the Marietta Daily Journal. Woodstock outgained Lassiter, and Wolverine quarterback Max Keeton threw for more yards than the Lassiter quarterback, but the Trojans punched two kickoff returns into the end zone.

Woodstock and River Ridge play at home tonight while Etowah has the night off.
Lassiter (6-2, 2-2) at Woodstock (4-4, 1-3) – Woodstock has lost three in a row and has been blanked twice in that stretch. In fact, in all four Region 5-AAAAA games this season the Wolverines have scored just 20 total points. Lassiter comes in after dropping a heartbreaker to Marietta last week in the final moments of the game. This game has some major playoff implications as the winner will sit alone in fourth place in the regional standings. Social Circle at River Ridge (6-2, 1-0) – River Ridge dropped its second game of the season last week and will look to rebound against Social Circle at home. Social Circle’s only win this season has come by forfeit. We want to make Woodstock-Towne Lake Patch the place to go for all the latest high …

Each Monday we'll take a look at what happened on the gridiron over the weekend in Woodstock-Towne Lake Patch.
Etowah 45, Woodstock 0 – Etowah’s win Friday moved the team to 3-2 and put them in a mathematical hold for one of the top four spots in the Region 5-AAAAA standings. Woodstock moved to 103 in the region with the loss. “I’m ecstatic for our seniors,” said Etowah head coach Bill Stewart. “(They) we’re playing Woodstock for the last time, and it also put us in the playoffs. It kind of showed what our team can do if we put the pieces together.” (Video Link) Lanier 35, River Ridge 17 – River Ridge led at the half by one point and recovered a fumble and returned it for a touchdown to start the third quarter, according to the Cherokee Tribune. But Lanier scored 26 unanswered points after that to win the game handily.

One of the fiercest rivalries around rekindles tonight at Etowah High School.
Woodstock (4-3, 1-2) at Etowah (4-4, 2-2) – When Woodstock and Etowah meet, in any sport, there’s no telling what might happen. Not only is this a cross-town rivalry, but it’s also a Region 5-AAAAA rivalry and the schools sit just two miles apart off the same street. The Eagles were supposed to be a force in region play but injuries have taken a toll. If the Wolverines can manage a road win, they’ll leapfrog Etowah in the standings and sit in a strong spot to grab the final playoff spot in the region. Lanier (2-1) at River Ridge (6-1) – River Ridge is back on track with consecutive wins after a hiccup on Sept. 30. The Knights have scored 40 or more points four times this season with a punishing ground attack. They’ll look to establish that…
