Centennial names Carlberg new FB coach

Kendall Crute started out the 2011-12 school year as the Kell Longhorns quarterback in the Corky Kell Classic. He has since transitioned to the basketball court and is lighting it up. Crute scored 22 points for the Longhorns as Kell tried to rally from a 27-9 first quarter hole and a 48-24 halftime deficit. Alexander however received 30 points from Arien Parks in the 102-85 Cougar victory. Crute is just a sophomore but he also has several schools around the southeast interested in his basketball abilities. ...

The North Gwinnett girls basketball squad has now won 11 straight games, including five straight in Region 7-AAAAA play, thanks in large part to Lexie Brown. The junior and daughter of NBA great Dee Brown scored 22 points in the Bulldogs recent 55-41 victory. Peyton Whitted also chipped in with 16 points for coach Bryan Sellers. ...

From the “It’s about time” desk, Grayson quarterback Nick Schuessler, who just weeks ago led the Rams to the Class AAAAA state title, finally received a college scholarship offer. Middle Tennessee State came through with a big for the 6-foot-4 signal caller who was featured on the Score 44 this season. Schuessler was 25-3 in his career as the Grayson starting quarterback, and he tossed a pair of scores in the Rams 24-0 victory over Walton at the Georgia Dome. ...

Finally Centennial named Jeffrey Carlberg its new football coach. Carlberg spent the last two years as Alpharetta’s defensive coordinator after serving as Lassiter’s defensive coordinator for two years. He has previously served as a head coach in Kentucky and assisted Bob Sphire when the North Gwinnett coach was at Lexington (Ky.) Catholic. Said Carlberg of the opportunity with the Knights, “I can’t wait to wrap my arms around the program and get people excited about football at Centennial.”
