Eufaula heads into the playoffs on a winning note after outlasting the Early County Bobcats on Friday night, 27-24.

The first Tiger touchdown came on a Browning Anderson to LaKeyveunte Pugh five yard pass play with 11:14 to go in the second quarter. Just a little over a minute later, the Bobcats answered with a touchdown of their own to make the score 7-6 in favor of Eufaula. On the next possession, Cooper Wingate came on to hit the first of two made field goals on the night, a 40 yarder, to extend the Tiger lead to 10-6. Eufaula once again went to the air to score the next touchdown, an 18 yard pass from Anderson to Antron Mitchell. The touchdown came with 1:38 remaining in the second quarter to make the score 17-6. The Bobcats quickly answered when Charles Williams broke free on a 51 yard touchdown run to make the halftime score 17-12.
