The GHSA state flag football playoffs get underway Thursday. The Portal Panthers hit the road to Locust Grove, where they will take on Clarke Central, while the Southeast Bulloch Yellow Jackets will host Oconee County.

The Yellow Jackets are beginning their quest for a fifth consecutive state championship at Fred Shaver Field with a matchup against an Oconee County team they are very familiar with.

“We played them as part of our jamboree and beat them, 14-6,” said coach Marci Cochran. “They have a really good defense we will have to contend with. We are also switching things around a little on defense and will only rush one player. Christiana Tisby is our top flag puller and we are counting on her to be able to get pressure so we can drop more players back in coverage.”
