The Christian Heritage has been in the playoff-mode for several weeks even though the playoffs start on Friday.
The Lions needed to win their last two games in order to qualify for the Georgia Class A-Private playoffs. They did so with a 26-7 win over Walker, then a 42-14 win in a re-match with Fellowship Christian last Friday.
“These last two games, we treated them like playoff games,” coach Preston Poag said. “We had to win both to get into the playoffs or we’d be home instead of practicing.
The Lions (5-5, 4-3) were awarded with a road trip to undefeated Calvary Day in Savannah.
“I think my team is peaking at the right time,” Poag said. “I tell them, ‘Let’s get in the playoffs and see what happens.'”
