Excitement continues to build before Wildcats’ trip to Macon-East

Brian Tannehill Edgewood's Alex Johnson (2) attempts a pass against Macon East Academy.

Edgewood will take a short trip to the other side of Montgomery this week as the Wildcats get set for a rematch that AISA football fans have been looking forward to for almost a year. After a 139-point offensive showdown that was decided by a single extra point in overtime during the 2019 season, the two teams are set to meet again this week with even more on the line.

The game is expected to be a crucial result in determining the top spot in AISA-AA Region 1. The Wildcats opened region play with a win against Banks last week but the Knights will open their region slate this week.
