The 56th edition of the Winnersville Classic arrives with championship implications as the undefeated Lowndes Vikings (9-0, 4-0) travel to Bazemore-Hyder Field to face the Valdosta Wildcats (8-1, 3-1) in Friday’s Class 6A Region 1 regular-season finale. Lowndes, seeking its first perfect regular season since 2019, brings a high-powered offense led by quarterback Jayce Johnson and the explosive backfield duo of Mason Woods and Ar’Tavian Brown. The Wildcats, whose only blemish came against Colquitt County, counter with their own offensive firepower behind quarterback Tyrieke Wade and playmaker Deron Foster. With both teams averaging over 40 points per game, defensive standouts like Lowndes linebacker Garrick Harris and Valdosta’s formidable front seven featuring Jevaris Kier and Tremaine Johnson could determine who claims bragging rights in Georgia’s most celebrated high school football rivalry. Opening kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on Friday, October 31 with a live TV broadcast on NFHS Network. • WATCH: Lowndes vs. Valdosta football is livestreaming on NFHS Network How to watch Lowndes vs. Valdosta football livestream What: Winnersville Classic Showdown: Unbeaten Lowndes faces rival Valdosta in regular-season finale When: Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on Friday, October 31 Where: Bazemore-Hyder Field | Valdosta, Georgia Watch live: Watch Lowndes vs. Valdosta live on the NFHS Network
