Augusta Christian falls to Hammond

Augusta Christian's eagerly awaited rematch with Hammond School didn't live up to its billing.

But Hammond jumped on Augusta Christian early and rolled to a 42-0 win.

Augusta Christian quarterback William Banks threw for 125 yards and ran for 69 to lead the Lions.

The Lions (8-3, 3-1) will play host to Wilson Hall on Friday in a first round playoff game.

Evans stays perfect

Evans sweated for two quarters Friday before pulling away for a 35-12 win over Cross Creek to remain unbeaten.

The Knights will play host to Richmond Academy on Friday for a shot at a perfect regular season. Coach Marty Jackson's team has already secured the top seed for Region 3-AAAA.
