Laney set for playoff bout against Brooks County

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - For the 6th consecutive season, the Laney Wildcats have found a way to postseason football. The red and white will be hosting things in the first round this weekend, welcoming the Brooks County Trojans from South Georgia.“Everybody’s excited about the opportunity that we have in front of us,” Head Coach Ronnie Baker said. “It’s a great time, great feeling for the alumni and fans.” The Trojans travel to the CSRA rocking a 3-7 record. Though Baker said that doesn’t exactly represent the quality of team he expects to face Friday night. “Anytime you play a South Georgia team, especially Brooks County, you know you’re going to be in for a tough game,” he said. “They’re a physical team and they’re a traditional team that’s been good over the years. I know they made two or three deep playoff runs the last couple of years and played for a state championship a few years ago. You always got to be ready to have a good, competitive, tough game when you go to Brooks Count
