This will be the biggest game for Peachtree Ridge since beating McEachern 9-6 back on September 11th. Fleetwood says that Peachtree Ridge's strong non-region schedule, which also included Archer, has gotten the Lions ready for this part of the season.
"You know it was tough, during that time you want to win those games even though those games don't count, for confidence and those reasons. I think it gives you a good idea where you are it in the long run. It pays off because I know those are teams that that we will be playing in the the state playoffs."
