Cartersville 21, Calhoun 17: The host Yellow Jackets lost the battle of Region 7-AAAAA state-ranked teams despite jumping out to a 17-0 lead at halftime.
Calhoun (4-2, 0-1), after an early field goal, scored on a Caden Williams 6-yard run and Trey Townsend's 54-yard pass to Kam Perry right before halftime to take the 17-0 lead. The Purple Hurricanes (6-0, 1-0), however, used a touchdown pass from Nate Russell and a scoring run from Khristian Lando to get within three with 7:44 to play.
The visitors got the ball back at their own 2-yard line and used a big run by Lando and a long scramble by Russell to get into Calhoun territory, and later reached the Jackets' 2 before a dead ball personal foul moved the ball back to the 17. Three plays netted 15 yards, and on fourth-and-goal, Lando ran for the winning score with 14 seconds to play.
