Tift football to play at Northside Thursday

Published 4:00 pm Tuesday, September 27, 2022

TIFTON — Changes, changes. When asked about what was being shifted around by Hurricane Ian, Tift County athletic director Chris Martin said, “Everything.”

Indeed, it has.

The main change is football. Martin said that Tift’s game at Northside (McConnell Talbert Stadium) will be Thursday, Sept. 29 at 5 p.m. This will be the Blue Devils’ Region 1-6A opener.

Martin ran down a list of what had been switched because of weather. Some sports have yet to be determined.

Varsity softball has doubleheaders on back-to-back days. Tuesday will be as scheduled at Thomas County Central. Thursday’s homestand against Houston County will take place Wednesday instead.

Middle school football championships: The Colquitt County game will be at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, with the contest at Valdosta moving to 5 p.m. Wednesday. Colquitt has moved its high school game against Lincoln (Fla.) to Wednesday, necessitating that move.

9th grade football: Will take place Tuesday at Thomas County Central.

Junior varsity football: Thursday’s game has been postponed until after fall break.

Cross country: Still up in the air, as of Tuesday morning. If needed, the Tift County Invitational will be switched to Wednesday, Oct. 5 and held with the middle school region championship.

Volleyball: Still up in the air, pending if Brooks County is able to make the trip. Senior Night was to be Thursday and will have to be changed if Brooks is unable to be there.
