Parkview still undefeated but WaCo loses

While many people will focus on undefeated Class AAAAA No. 1 McEachern, the undefeated Parkview girls will take on Shiloh tonight in the first round of the Region 8-AAAAA tournament. Parkview is 25-0, the second time in three years the Panthers have gone undefeated in the regular season. ...

For the first time all season a Washington County school tasted defeat when the Hancock Central boys knocked off the Class AAA No. 2 43-40. The boys had run out to a 22-0 start before falling. The girls meanwhile sit atop the latest Class AAA poll with a 24-0 record. ...

Mary Persons’ Rodney Walker announced late last week that he was retiring after more than 40 years on the sidelines. He was 302-150-3 over his career, which included stops at nine different Georgia programs. For the last six years he patrolled the Bulldogs sidelines. Walker won a state title with West Rome in 1984. Walker’s son Chip recently won back-to-back titles at Sandy Creek, giving the Walker family the first father-son combination to win state titles in Georgia history. ...

The Brookwood Broncos girls swimming and diving team took home the Class AAAAA title thanks to some incredible depth, racking up 226 points to cruise to a win. Greg Puckett’s girls notched four second-place finishes and a pair of third-place finishes, along with Kelsey Gouge’s win in the 50 free. Before the event, Puckett said of his star “the sprint freestyle events are her best event which maker her even more of an asset to the team.” He called her a leader of the team as well as “an individual that the other girls look to when the team needs a strong performance.” She was runner-up in the 100 free and helped the 200 medley relay team take second place as well.
