STOCKBRIDGE — For the second straight year, the Stockbridge Tigers improved their record to 12-0 and are headed to the quarterfinals of the GHSA playoffs. A 37-13 win over the Clarke Central Gladiators Friday night at Tiger Stadium will pit Stockbridge against Griffin next week.
“We feel like we came up a little short last year. We’ve put an emphasis on finishing every quarter, every game, every play,” said Stockbridge coach Kevin Whitley.
