Hillgrove hits road but peaking at right time

Hillgrove and Peachtree Ridge enter the first round of the state playoffs with 7-3 records, but the final stretch of their regular seasons couldn’t have been much more different. The Hawks have won four in a row and six of their last seven, while Peachtree Ridge has lost three of its last four and is coming off a 51-3 loss to Brookwood. Missing in that game were quarterback Zain Belfield and running back August Hall, which Hillgrove coach Justin Deshon said was a big component in Peachtree Ridge’s late-season struggles. “I think it’s the start of a new season, especially with us going there,” Deshon said. “Part of the reason they’ve struggled as of late is they’ve had just a litany of injuries, so we expect some of those guys to get back on the field from some of the injuries they’ve had. "We expect the best version of them. They were a really, really dynamic football team early in the season when they were all the way healthy.” For the Hawks, October went smoothly. They defeated Harrison, another Cobb County frontrunner 35-26, and nearly beat McEachern in a close 27-24 contest for their only loss in region play. Before

New PSR produces unlikely matchup between Marietta and Buford in Round 1

Marietta has a tall task ahead this Friday night, as the Blue Devils will travel to Buford to take on the Wolves in the first round of the Class AAAAAAA playoffs. Blue Devils coach Cameron Duke spoke highly of Buford’s talent and coaching, acknowledging the tough task ahead of the Blue Devils this week. The Wolves (10-0) are the No. 3 team in the nation according to MaxPreps. The new PSR system for playoff seeding implemented by the Georgia High School Association this season impacted both teams. Marietta (6-4) and Buford were both negatively impacted by playing two out-of-state games, which don’t carry the same weight in the formula as in-state games do. Marietta is the 24th-seeded team in Class AAAAAAA, while Buford is No. 9. Duke said the way the Blue Devils’ two out-of-state games affected their seed may impact how they approach scheduling moving forward if changes aren’t made. “We’re grateful for the opportunities that we had to go play the NFL Academy and play St. Cloud, who’s a playoff team down in Florida, and I believe Buford would say the same thing about playing Mallard Creek out of North Carolina and Miami Central out of Florida,” Duke

Peachtree Ridge hosts Hillgrove in state football opener

Peachtree Ridge’s success early in the football season not only brought a state playoff berth, but also a first-round home game Friday against Hillgrove. The Lions, who started 6-0, have lost three of four, though all three were to state playoff teams — No. 4 seed Brookwood, No. 6 North Gwinnett and No. 29 Norcross. It eked out a 40-34, double-overtime win over Duluth to avoid a four-game losing streak. Both of the past two games — the win over Duluth and the loss to Brookwood — were played without starting quarterback Zain Belfield. Despite last week’s setback against Brookwood, the Lions got standout defensive play from R.J. Parks (13 tackles, two for losses, two sacks), Britt Finley (13 tackles) and Donovan Macombe (10 tackles). Cayden Macon was a bright spot on a slow offensive night with four catches for 56 yards. Manny Jimenez made his only field goal attempt, a 45-yarder, and punted seven times for a 39.4-yard average. Hillgrove closed its regular season a hot streak with four straight victories with two over state playoff teams, No. 23 Harrison and No. 27 North Atlanta. Class AAAAAAA First Round Hillgrove Hawks (3-AAAAAAA) Coach: Justin DeShon Record: 7-3 Seed: No.
