Indians and Vikings host second round playoff games tonight By MICHAEL BOYLAN In region 4-AAAAA playoff action last weekend, the East Coweta Indians (11-0) won their game against the Bradwell Institute Tigers 39-14 and will host Northside High (10-1) Friday night. The Indians led 20-14 at the half but scored 19 unanswered points in the second half to take the win. East Coweta gained 353 yards of total offense to the Tigers' 169 yards, as they set a new school record for most consecutive wins. Northside last week defeated Lowndes 28-3 and is ranked second in Class AAAAA, while the Indians are ranked seventh. The winner of this game will play the winner of the Parkview/Roswell game at home. Northgate was another team that survived in overtime to make the second round of the playoffs. The Vikings, the top seed in 5-AA, hosted Darlington and won 11-10. The two teams were tied 3-3 at the end of regulation and the score was the same after one overtime period. Darlington scored first and kicked the extra point, but Northgate calmly went down the field on its drive, scoring off a 15-yard pass from Mitch Stewart to Demarcus Hunter. Instead of kicking the extra point to tie, the Vikings went for the two-point conversion. They faked the run and passed to Maurice Huffman, who scored and gave the Vikings the win. Northgate (10-1) will host Putnam County (8-3) next Friday night. Putnam County defeated Dawson County Friday night 36-12. The winner of this Friday's game will play the winner of the Americus/East Laurens game away.
