Week 6 Team of the Week: Westside (Augusta)

A year ago, Westside of Augusta lost to Aquinas when the Patriots’ two-point conversion failed in the final minute.

This time, Westside made the play it needed. Primarily a running team, the Patriots used a 73-yard TD pass from Jaylen Stone to Jahvon Williams in the final three minutes to score a 21-16 victory in a game between Augusta’s two highest-rated teams.

Westside emerged with its first 5-0 start since 2002 and continues to contend for its first region championship since 2000 with a 3-0 record in Region 4-3A play.

Westside is GHSF Daily’s Team of the Week. The award is sponsored by BSN Sports and Georgia Construction Careers.

Westside head coach Lee Hutto and the Westside seniors received the GHSF Daily Team of the Week award after a 21-16 victory over Aquinas. Joining the team at the presentation were Mark Collins and Zeke Simmons from BSN.
