The air is getting crisp as fall approaches, but there will be plenty of heat in area stadiums, as regional foes clash tonight in the third week of action.
The Monroe Purple Hurricanes will try to maintain their catergory 5 strength against the Oconee Warriors in Watkinsville tonight. The 'Canes are 2-0 after leveling Winder-Barrow last week, and Loganville with a similar lopsided score the week before. Oconee is coming into tonight even at 1-1 following a close loss to Lanier last week. Both teams play at home next week; MAHS vs Lumpkin Co while Oconee will face Morgan Co.

Word is that Watkinsville is under a Hurricane warning...a purple hurricane warning, that is...MAHS beats the O'Warriors by double digits. LHS has done some levee repairs following it's own Hurricane strike two weeks ago, looking solid against Walnut Grove last week. Tonight, the Devils squeak out a win over Clarke Central, LCA is an undisputed powerhouse in division. The Lions will end the week at 4 and 0. Walnut Grove/Howard is a toss up; The Warriors are hungry enough to win, if they can refrain from turning minor setbacks into huge mistakes due to the frustration factor, then I'll give them the benefit of the doubt tonight and say the Black and Green faithful go home smiling tonight...
