Notes and context

There’s no recorded meeting information listed for this matchup, so this one presents a fresh measuring stick for both programs. Northgate and Southwest both have upcoming games the following day — Northgate at Warner Robins (Dec. 20, 12:00 p.m.) and Southwest at Houston County (Dec. 20, 3:00 p.m.) — which could make Friday’s result and rotation choices especially consequential for each coaching staff.
