A quick look at tonight's GHSA action

The first full slate of games is finally upon us and there are some really intriguing matchups to open up the first Friday night of the 2011 season. Last season Taylor Heinicke led Collins Hill to two victories over Roswell, including once in the playoffs. Now Heinicke is at Old Dominion and the No.9 Eagles will look to break in a new quarterback in the team’s season opener at Roswell (GPB-TV)…

Geno Smith will be in his first action of the year and on the field for the first time since pledging to Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide when St. Pius travels to Westminster (gpb.org/sports). TJ Holloman will also star for the St. Pius defense. Westminster meanwhile will be breaking in a new offensive backfield…

One year ago Parkview and Stephenson went into overtime before Stephenson escaped with a 21-14 double overtime victory. Now Raphael Kirby and Kyle Fleetwood will be suiting up for Stephenson after transferring over from Parkview…

The battle for Athens will be held tonight as Cedar Shoals faces Clarke Central. For Cedar Shoals, it will be the first game under new head coach Dreco Thomas...

Lowndes head coach Randy McPherson will take aim at a bit of history tonight when Peeblebrook visits as he currently sits at 99 career wins. The Vikings won last year when these two teams played 47-7…

North Gwinnett will welcome in an out-of-state opponent as East St. Louis (IL) comes to Tom Robinson Memorial Stadium. The Bulldogs lost last week in the Corky Kell Classic on a last minute-defeat to McEachern.
