GPB was on hand to witness two regions decided last Friday and two more regions will be decided this Friday on the GPB networks. Alpharetta clinched its first region title and second-ever playoff berth with a huge comeback victory over Centennial, rallying from 26-3 to win 32-26. Joshua Dobbs threw for two scores in the second half and ran for another to complete the comeback. ...
GPB was also there to see Grayson return a late interception for a region-clinching score against Brookwood. Grayson’s defense is strong but it will be interesting to see which offense shows up each week in the playoffs. ...
Hillgrove won its first region title with a convincing 35-0 win over Kennesaw Mountain. Kenyan Drake finished with 178 yards and has over 1300 on the season. ...
Walton won its first region title since 2008 on the legs of Tyren Jones, who had 157 yards in the 42-14 win over Marietta. Jones also notched four total touchdowns. ...
North Gwinnett will face Peachtree Ridge this week (GPB TV Game of the Week) to decide Region 7-AAAAA, and both offenses are clicking. Donnie Miles and Joe Jones each scored two touchdowns in a 44-14 win over Duluth. Scotty Hosch and Chad Scott are lethal through the air. Meanwhile Peachtree Ridge has its own aerial attack in Billy Best to Joe Horn. The two hooked up twice in the Lions win over Mill Creek. ...
Finally it looks like Archer may just be making its first postseason appearance this year after stomping Parkview 40-16. Ernest Alexander rushed for 227 yards and four touchdowns to move Archer to just one win from a postseason berth. Parkview meanwhile has now lost three straight to drop into a tie with Archer for the fourth spot in Region 8-AAAAA. ...
On the volleyball court, Pope’s win now gives the program three straight, two in a row at the AAAA level. The Greyhounds were led by three players who plan on excelling at the next level in Mary Hannah Arrington (Auburn), Wimberly Wilson (Georgia Tech) and Katie Bange (Middle Tennessee State). ...
Walton’s volleyball title marks the Raiders second straight. The Walton program has won two straight since Pope dropped to AAAA. ...
On the softball diamond, Buford’s fifth straight crown earned the Wolves a big section in the history books as no program had ever done that before. The Wolves were the only team to win coming out of the loser’s bracket and forcing an extra Saturday game. ...
Senior Kayla Floor made it interesting for Collins Hill but the pitcher battled out of trouble in the seventh to help the Eagles win its third straight title.
