Highlights include Heritage at Ridgeland, Adairsvillle at Ringgold, Rome at Dalton

Even last year, after the game was postponed after the start due to lightning, the panthers got a saturday night win on the generals field.

That game was ridgleand's first win last year... this year, the panthers are winless again going into the annual matchup.
