The Trion Bulldogs are headed to the Georgia High School Association Class A state football playoffs following an impressive 8–2 regular season, capped by a 40–7 victory over BEST Academy of Atlanta Friday night at Sam R. McCain Stadium.
The Bulldogs will face a familiar opponent in the opening round of the state playoffs. According to the GHSA Class A playoff bracket, eighth-seeded Trion will host 25th-seeded BEST Academy on Friday, November 13, setting up a rematch just one week after the two teams met in their regular-season finale.
Friday night’s convincing victory gave Trion its eighth win of the season and provided momentum heading into postseason competition.
The Bulldogs’ eight regular-season victories came against Gordon Lee, Ridgeland, Dade County, Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe, Northview, Greenville, Manchester and BEST Academy.
Trion opened the season with a 36–7 victory over Gordon Lee before falling to Model. The Bulldogs then put together a five-game winning streak that included a 42–35 victory over Dade County, a 49–0 shutout of Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe and a 50–0 win over Greenville.
Following a loss to Bowdon in October, Trion bounced back with a 35–7 victory over Manchester on October 23 before closing out the regular season with Friday’s 40–7 win over BEST Academy.
The Bulldogs compete in Class A Region 7 under head coach Sean Patrick.
Under the GHSA’s postseason ranking system, playoff seeding takes into account a team’s performance and strength of schedule. Trion’s No. 8 seed gives the Bulldogs a first-round home game.
The playoff pairing creates an unusual situation, with Trion and BEST Academy meeting on consecutive Fridays at the same stadium. This time, however, the winner will advance to the second round of the state playoffs, while the losing team’s season will come to an end.
The Bulldogs will look to carry the momentum from their regular-season finale into Friday night’s postseason rem
