Edgewood Academy’s comeback attempt fell just short on Friday night.
Macon-East Academy beat Edgewood Academy, 35-19, in an AISA-AA region game at Charles P. Storrs Field. The Wildcats (3-1, 1-1) found themselves down 21-0 just 10 minutes into the first quarter after turning the ball over three times.
