Things learned from the GAHS gridiron over the weekend

The comeback that North Gwinnett pulled off Friday night in the GPB.org game of the week was really something, considering Donnie Miles didn’t play much offensively with a bum ankle. In the second half Miles didn’t play much on defense and sparingly on offense but returned for perhaps the biggest play of the game, intercepting a Norcross pass intended for Jason Croom with under two minutes to play, setting up the winning score. ...

Norcross meanwhile showed that it will be a factor come playoff time as the team certainly has offensive weapons in Croom, Alvin Kamara and the pair of Autrys. ...

The Colquitt County Packers have a coach known for offense and at Mack Tharpe Stadium the Packers can put up some points. Friday Colquitt County scored 40+ for the third time this year and have gone for 30+ four times. The defense is also impressive as it turned seven turnovers into 31 points against Tift County. Colquitt County next hosts Lowndes (GPB.org game of the week). ...

Campbell snapped its 13-game losing streak with a 33-7 win over Kennesaw Mountain. It was a big win for first-year coach Harris Rainbow. ...

Another week, another region victory for Parkview. The Panthers handed the ball 30 times to Chris Carson and the back ran for 184 yards, three scores and a two-point conversion in Parkview’s 22-15 win over Central Gwinnett. ...

Ten different players scored for Buford in its 71-0 victory last Thursday. Yes, I would say that it would be difficult for any AA All-star team to beat Buford right now. ...

Just when Jordan Ramey had returned to the field early from a broken arm to revive South Gwinnett’s playoff hopes, he had to leave a 49-17 victory with an ankle injury. Ramey passed for 92 yards and two scores in the first half.
