Southeast Bulloch dominated Beach Friday night at Fred Shaver Field in Brooklet to clinch a spot in the state football playoffs that begin Nov. 15.
The 44-19 win ensured the Yellow Jackets (7-2, 6-2 in Region) would finish no lower than fourth in Region 3-AAA and they could finish third if they beat Groves next Friday night at home.
Statesboro High’s 28-6 loss Friday night in Springfield to Effingham County means the Blue Devils will have to beat 8-1 Lakeside-Evans next Friday night at Womack Field and get some help from other teams in the region to qualify for the playoffs.
Statesboro is now 4-5 overall and 3-4 in Region play.
Portal fell on the road to McIntosh Academy, 40-0. The Panthers close the season next Friday night at home against Savannah High.
