Landmark Christian at : This Region 5-A play-in game features two 7-2 teams in what could be a real treat for offense lovers. Landmark averages 37.6 points per game. Wesleyan, which played without starting quarterback Will Anderson for four games (and went 2-2 in those games), averages 31.2, but more than 40 since Anderson's return. This could be a wild one, with the winner advancing to the playoffs. Wesleyan 38, Lanmdmark Christian 31.
at Mountain View: Norcross (7-2) may be the best region third seed — and a tough out — for the upcoming playoffs. The Blue Devils play a Mountain View team (3-6) that is still learning the ropes in 7-AAAAA, one of the toughest regions in the state. The Blue Devils get a nice tune-up for the playoffs. Norcross 32, Mountain View 14.
