Week 3 delivered statement wins, setting the table for Week 4. Richmond Hill blanked Everglades 49–0. Effingham edged New Hampstead 23–20. Calvary Day won a thrilling 59–49 shootout. Savannah Country Day topped Porter-Gaud 13–7. Long County claimed a 28–7 victory over Johnson. Jenkins rolled to a 65–6 win. Southeast Bulloch took down Islands 41–7, while Liberty handled Windsor Forest 36–6.

Looking ahead, Richmond Hill (2–0) aims for a third straight shutout as it hosts New Hampstead (1–2). The Wildcats haven’t allowed a point in two games (21–0 vs. Glynn, 49–0 vs. Everglades), while the Phoenix seek a bounce-back after the 23–20 loss to Effingham.

Adding to the excitement, two more matchups stand out: Calvary Day (2–0) visits Southeast Bulloch (1–1) in a key region matchup, after hanging 59 last week, and Savannah Christian (3–0) travels to Oceanside Collegiate, SC (0–2) with the Raiders allowing just 19 points the last two games.

Other Games to Watch (home team listed second):

Glynn Academy (1–1) at Bradwell (0–1)*: Bradwell will try to shake off its one-point season-opening loss, while Glynn is eager to bounce back after falling to Richmond Hill.

Effingham County (1–1) at Brunswick (1–1)*: Both teams grabbed wins last week, setting up an important early-season region test that will have playoff implications.

Beach (0–1) at Windsor Forest (1–1)*: Beach is looking to spark its season, but Windsor Forest is seeking its second win of the season at home.

Groves (0–2) at Long County (2–0)*: Long County rides into the matchup unbeaten, while Groves is hungry to crack the win column.

Johnson (0–2) at Islands (0–2)*: Neither team has a win yet, raising the stakes for city bragging rights.

Jenkins (1–1) at Liberty County (2–0)*: Liberty looks to use its home field to stay unbeaten, but Jenkins’ team speed will provide a tough challenge.

Savannah Christian (3–0) at Oceanside Collegiate (0–2): The Raiders’ tough defense gets a road test against the Landsharks’ high-powered offense.

Savannah High (0–1) at Bryan County (1–1)*: The Redskins aim to protect their home field, while Savannah High looks  for its first win of the season.

Bethesda (1–0) at John Paul II (2–1): JPII has strung together wins, but Bethesda hopes to keep its own perfect start alive.
