Miller Grove falls to Oak Hill

Miller Grove, the No. 1 team in the Score Atlanta Class AAAA poll and No. 2 in the national ESPN poll, faced No. 3 Oak Hill at Morehouse last night, and Tony Parker was a beast for the Wolverines. Miller Grove trailed entering the fourth quarter with missed free throws hurting the Wolverines cause. UGA-pledge Brandon Morris was dumping the ball low to Parker throughout the fourth as Oak Hill didn’t have an answer. Meanwhile Jordan Adams, a Georgia native and former Central Gwinnett star, had 13 points including one of two late from the free throw line as Oak Hill knocked off Miller Grove 82-78. Miller Grove had closed the gap to 77-75, but the Wolverines could get no closer as Oak Hill closed out the game from the free throw line. Tony Parker had 29 points and 10 rebounds in the loss. ...

West Hall High School has announced that Tony Lotti has been tapped as the new football coach. Lotti was an assistant at Woodland High School the last three years. Former coach Mike Newton was 12-38 in five years at West Hall. ...

The career of Travis Wildgoose is over at Athens Christian though Wildgoose does hope to continue his high school playing career at Rockdale County High School. Wildgoose, who transferred to Athens Christian over the summer from the Bahamas, rushed for more than 600 yards and four scores in three victories for the Athens Christian football team this season. The GHSA later ruled that he was ineligible after a paperwork error was made by International Experience, a foreign-exchange program that placed him at the Athens school. According to the Athens Banner-Herald he withdrew from Athens Christian earlier this week and is expected to enroll at Rockdale County and live with his uncle. He will also apply for a hardship exemption so that he could play immediately for Rockdale County’s basketball team and track team.
