Several schools across the state earned a pair of home games for this weekend’s first round games, and many of those schools have made the decision to treat their fans to a playoff doubleheader. North Gwinnett is one of those schools that will feature a double dip as the boys game against Central Gwinnett has been moved to Friday night, directly following the girls matchup against South Gwinnett. Defending Class AAAA champion Miller Grove will play on Friday, following its girls as will Class AAA defending champion Columbia. The boys programs at Valdosta, Alcovy, Jonesboro, Fayette County, Allatoona, Crisp County, Carrollton, Morgan County, Putnam County, Wilcox County and Taylor County will also make the move to Friday night. Meanwhile the girls programs at Troup, North Hall Westside-Augusta and Wilkinson County will all move their games to Saturday night. Playoff tickets are $7 for the Friday night girls games and Saturday night boys games, however the doubleheaders will be $10 according to the GHSA mandated pricing structure. ...
A program that flew under the radar this basketball season was, no doubt, the Brookwood girls. Parkview received the acclaim of an undefeated season and a region title, but the Broncos, unranked for much of the year, finished with a 12-4 region record and could make some noise in the postseason. Head coach Scott Terry will have his girls ready for a young Mill Creek team that should be explosive in 2012-13. ...
Defending Class AAAAA boys champion Norcross faces Region 8-AAAAA champion Berkmar in the first round. The Patriots knocked off Shiloh in the region championship game, otherwise the Blue Devils would be up against Robert Carter and the Generals. As it stands now, Shiloh hosts Mill Creek. ...
Finally fans of rewarding the postseason over regular season success should love South Cobb whose 13-14 record doesn’t matter as the Eagles finished second in the region tournament and will host Jenkins in the first round.
