Norcross & Mill Creek on collision course

There are two undefeated schools in Region 7-5A but the teams just may surprise you. Norcross and Mill Creek both sit 3-0 overall after the third full week of games with North Gwinnett, Peachtree Ridge and Collins Hill all posting at least one loss. No region games have been played yet, but the Blue Devils, who went 9-3 one year ago, face Duluth this Friday. Mill Creek opens its region schedule on the road at Mountain View. Norcross looks to have an explosive offense this season with Tennessee-bound wide receiver Jason Croom starring for coach Keith Maloof. Mill Creek meanwhile may be behind the 8-ball as starting quarterback John Russ left last week’s 28-0 win over Cherokee with a concussion. His return this week is questionable, according to the Gwinnett Daily Post. James Holder, normally a receiver for the Hawks, came on and passed for 70 yards, completing five of nine passes. Norcross and Mill Creek will face off September 23 at Mill Creek…

The Colquitt County Packers, ranked No. 2 in the latest Score Atlanta poll, survived six turnovers in a 21-10 victory over Westlake thanks in large part to the legs of Willie Woodyard. The tailback rushed 17 times for 183 yards in the win. Junior quarterback Cole Seagraves threw for two touchdowns and 79 yards while running for 67 yards. The Packers will travel to play Warner Robins this Friday in the GPB.org game of the week…

The Buford softball team defeated Union County in the finals of Buford’s weekend softball tournament in a rematch of the 2010 Class AA state championship game. Buford received a three-run home run from Jordan Deep in the 4-1 victory. Tessa Daniels was the victorious pitcher for the Lady Wolves, the defending AA champions
