Reax from the 20th Corky Kell Classic

The 20th Metro PCS Corky Kell Classic was held over the weekend and it was a big day for Cobb County. Kell, in its first game since Georgia 2010 Gatorade Player of the Year Brian Randolph graduated and matriculated to Tennessee, held nationally ranked Grayson scoreless for the first three quarters, giving up just a Robert Nkemdiche touchdown after fumbling a punt inside its own ten yard line...
Lassiter meanwhile rebounded from a 6-0 deficit to claim a 14-6 win over defending 5A champ Brookwood after quarterback Eddie Printz threw a 50-yard touchdown and the Trojans later tacked on a rushing score for the final tally...After the game the junior signal-caller called the night a “once in a lifetime” experience. He was also quick to praise his defense, which stood its ground over and over again in the second half, stopping the Broncos’ attack several times after intermission...
The McEachern Indians have a roster loaded with BCS-level talent, but it took a big time comeback inside the last minute to pull off the 26-17 win over North Gwinnett. Chris Nwagbara scored with ten seconds remaining to give McEachern the 20-17 lead and a pick-6 to end the game led to the final score...Trent Thompson was the most impressive quarterback of the night according to GPB recruiting expert Scott Janovitz...
In the final game of the evening, Walton outlasted Peachtree Ridge, ruining Mark Fleetwood’s Lions debut...Transfer Tyren Jones scored two times, including an 80-yard run to give the Raiders the lead after Peachtree Ridge Diandre Atwater’s second touchdown tied the game at 14-14...Jones finished with 213 yards...
In other games over the weekend, Colquitt County and Buford looked super-impressive in blowout victories.
