Ware County will honor its Class of 2026 seniors Friday night in what may be their final home appearance on the hallowed grounds of Memorial Stadium.
The Gators (7-2 overall, 2-2 Region 1-AAAA) will need help to host a first round playoff game. The situation came about with a wild, tough 48-44 loss at Warner Robins (5-4, 2-2) last Friday dropping Ware County from the Top 10 poll. It created a threeway tie for second-place behind fourth-ranked Benedictine (6-2, 4-0). Perry (2-2, 4-5) is the other program tied with the Gators and Demons. Each of the four are guaranteed playoff berths. The seeding for second thru fourth will be determined Friday night with the Panthers hosting Warner Robins.
A win by Perry, and a victory for the Gators over Wayne County (1-8, 1-3), gives Ware County the No. 2 seed and at least one home playoff game.
