MOULTRIE — All three Region 1-AAAAA teams that played first-round playoff games on Friday were winners.

Two of the victories — by Lowndes over Luella and by Northside-Warner Robins over Union Grove — were unexpected.

Coffee’s 17-14 overtime win over Region 2-AAAAA champion Stephenson was not.

The Trojans went into the playoffs as Region 1’s No. 4 seed after falling to Tift County 30-27 in their regular-season finale on a field goal with three seconds remaining.

On Friday in Stone Mountain, the Trojans used a late field goal of their own to advance to the second round of the playoffs for the third straight season.

Aaron Lott kicked a 24-yarder for the winning points in Coffee’s first overtime possession.

Stephenson, which finishes 9-2, attempted a 22-yardd field goal by Colin Anderson on its first overtime possession, but Coffee’s Pernell Williams blocked it.

The Trojans the ran the ball three times to the Stephenson 6 before Coffee head coach Ken Eldridge elected to send out Lott, who converted the game-winner.

Stephenson scored twice in the second half on 90-yard kickoff return and a 4-yard run, both by Raymond Sanders.

Sanders also scored on a 2-point conversion to tie the game after his second touchdown.

Coffee advances to play Chapel Hill, which eliminated Windsor Forest by a 23-12 score.

NORTHSIDE 24, UNION GROVE 7

Northside held Union Grove to just 22 yards of total offense in a 24-7 victory at McConnell-Talbert Stadium that sets up one of the best second-round matchups in the state on Friday.

The Eagles will have to travel to Kingsland to meet Region 2-AAAAA champion Camden County.

The Wildcats, now 11-0, blanked Creekside 49-0 on Friday.
