HSFB Things I Learned from the Metro over the weekend

The Norcross Blue Devils dropped another game in region play, falling to Peachtree Ridge over the weekend, but you get the feeling that it wasn’t the Lions that defeated the Blue Devils as much as North Gwinnett for the second week in a row. The Blue Devils were driving for a clinching score two weeks ago but came up empty, allowing North Gwinnett to rally back for a win. Norcross may have not been able to let that defeat go before the Peachtree Ridge game. ...

Grayson also showed that it could make some noise in the playoffs thanks to its defense. After shutting down Parkview’s Chris Carson, the Rams appear on the verge of getting Mickey Conn to the Georgia Dome. ...

Stephenson/ML King still looms November 4, but East Coweta will play each of those the next two weeks to help determine the region race. ...

Buford was off but GAC took care of business against Clarkston 62-8. GAC has scored at least 28 in each of its games, topping 62 each of its last two games. Both teams enter the game undefeated but the Spartans will face a tall task against the Wolves on Buford’s senior night. ...

Brookwood once again handled its business as Nick Tompkins exploded for over 140 yards in the 31-0 victory. The Broncos have won four straight, the last three by at least 30 points. The Mark Crews defense is rounding into shape and has a chance at winning the region again but faces Grayson on the road after hosting Parkview. ...

East Paulding finally gave up some points but still managed to spank Hiram 63-14, setting up this week’s game with Pope. ...

And if Grady is still one year away, the rebuilding is going swimmingly as the Grey Knights drilled North Springs 70-0.
