Commerce coach Michael Brown looks on during practice this week.
COMMERCE Commerce has been in this position before in the Class A-public playoffs.
In 2018, the Tigers traveled to Irwin County in the semifinals and were up 17-7 with 11:30 left. DJ Lundy, who’s now at Florida State, scored three straight touchdowns, including the final blow with 39 seconds to go to lift the Indians past the Tigers in Ocilla, 26-23. It was the second time in four years the Indians beat the Tigers in the playoffs.
Now, the defending Class A Public champions will travel to Commerce for the third meeting in six years at Ray Lamb Stadium. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m.
