Tonight’s game between Bainbridge and the Tift County Blue Devils promises to be a compelling matchup, with former Bearcat head coach Jeff Littleton returning to face his old team. Littleton, who left Bainbridge earlier this year after an impressive eleven-season tenure, made a significant impact on the Bearcats program. His record includes a 72-36 regular season record and a 19-10 playoff record, showcasing his ability to consistently lead his teams to success.

Under Littleton’s leadership, Bainbridge achieved remarkable accomplishments, including winning a state championship in 2018, which ended a 35-year title drought for the Bearcats. That game, a thrilling 47-41 victory over Warner Robins in triple overtime, was not only the longest state championship game in GHSA history but also earned recognition as the greatest Georgia high school football state championship game of all time by Georgia High School Football Daily.

Now, Littleton will bring his Tift County Blue Devils, who are currently 1-2 on the season, to face his former team. The matchup adds a layer of intrigue as Littleton’s familiarity with Bainbridge’s program could provide unique insights and strategies. For Bainbridge, it’s a chance to turn their season around and to prove themselves against a coach who played a pivotal role in their recent successes.
