Stephens County forced turnovers and scored touchdowns in the third and fourth quarters to clinch the title, 28-27.
The news wasn’t so good for White County as the Warriors saw their playoff hopes dashed Friday on the road against Pickens. The Warriors got on the board first with a 16-yard touchdown by Kane Lowery, followed three minutes later by a breakout 77-yard run by Cason Duvall. They went into the half tied but struggled to hold back the Dragons in the second half, losing 28-48. The Warriors close out their season next Friday in Ellijay against Gilmer.
