Collins Hill fights into playoffs for Round 1 meeting with unbeaten Newton

After an 0-4 start in non-region play, Collins Hill couldn’t afford any missteps over its final six football games if it wanted to crack the top 32 in the Georgia High School Association’s PSR Power Rankings and earn a state playoff spot. The Eagles needed to keep winning and did just that, going 5-1 down the stretch (the lone loss was to 10-0, defending state champion Buford). They beat Region 8-AAAAAAA’s lower tier teams and topped the two teams also in the postseason discussion — 52-40 over Dacula and 42-34 over Mill Creek. Game 10 wasn’t as much of a test for Collins Hill, which rolled to a 56-6 win over Discovery last week. Jamel Tuff caught four passes — three for touchdowns — for 103 yards, and Kevin Hughes had four catches for 67 yards and two TDs. Johnny Paulk provided a spark with two punt returns for 69 yards. Solomon Thomas (11 tackles, two for losses, three QB hurries, sack, interception) and Christian Fleming (four tackles, one for loss, forced fumble, fumble recovery) were among the defensive standouts last week. Those region wins were good enough to get Class AAAAAAA’s No. 31 seed out of 32 for Friday’s

AROUND TOWN: Georgia's new agriculture commissioner is a Snellville resident

The Blue Wave that washed through statewide offices and made history last week included a Gwinnett County connection. Georgia’s new Agriculture Commissioner, Katherine Juhan-Arnold, is a Snellville resident who founded Baby Katie’s Pharm and Kitchen. She defeated Republican incumbent Agiculture Commissioner Tyler Harper in last week’s elections and will be the first Black woman to hold the office. “The campaign may be over, but our work is just beginning,” Juhan-Arnold said after her victory. “We’re going to protect our farmers, strengthen our communities, stand up for consumers, protect our animals, steady our resources and build an Agriculture Department that works for every Georgian.” Baby Katie’s Pharm and Kitchen was set up to operate as a nonprofit farm to help low income families have access to fresh fruit and vegetables. It also works with families through education to help them grow their own food. Juhan-Arnold ran on a “Grow Georgia” platform of supporting market access for Georgia farmers, investing in infrastructure such as broadband for farms, protecting farmland, addressing the rising cost to run a farm in Georgia, supporting farm-to-school programs and regional food hubs, expanding international markets for Georgia-grown products and ensuring Georgia’s poultry and livestock supplies remain healthy so

Two Gwinnett school board members speak out on retention bonuses

Two Gwinnett County school board members are, in their individual capacities, addressing teachers concerns on the retention bonuses that educators found out they would not receive this week. Board Chairwoman Tarece Johnson-Morgan and Board member Rachel Stone reiterated Gwinnett County Public Schools’ stance that the bonuses were always contingent on whether the district received funding from the state to pay the teachers. They were quick to point out they were not speaking on behalf of the entire board, however. “Right now, social media is full of anger, rumors, and half-truths,” Johnson-Morgan said. “Some of it comes from real pain. Some of it is meant to divide us: teachers against leaders, and neighbors against public schools.” GCPS officials told teachers on Monday that they would not receive retention bonuses this year because there was no funding to pay for it. The announcement quickly took off on social media after district officials accidentally sent it to parents as well as educators. District officials told the Daily Post that the message, which was signed by Chief Financial Officer Masana Mailliard and Interim Chief Human Resources J.W. Mozley, stands as the district’s official statement on the retention bonus issue. “The supplement was contingent on

Then the next half of the practice just consists of working on our positions, and sometimes we do offensive defensive days, so we’ll work on the offense (and) go over our plays,” Jordan said.

Shiloh draws huge state test in reigning state champion Creekside

In its return to the state football playoffs, Shiloh faces a tall task in Round 1. The Generals travel Friday night to play at Creekside, last year’s Class AAAA state champion after a 15-0 season. The Seminoles, who haven’t lost to a Georgia team since falling to Marist in the 2024 state semifinals, are 9-1 this season after reeling off nine straight wins since a season-opening loss to Clay-Chalkville (Ala.). Quarterback Savoy Nichols, a 6-foot-6, 205-pound dual threat, leads a balanced Creekside offense with 2,061 passing yards and 26 touchdowns. The Tarleton State (Texas) commit is joined in the backfield by several playmakers led by Clemson commit Gary Walker (927 rushing yards, 15 TDs) and Branden Wiley (580 rushing yards, 12 TDs). Five Creekside receivers have at least four TD catches, including Boston College commit Armani Hill (19-478-7). Other standouts on the loaded Creekside roster include Alabama commit Darrius White and Tennessee commit Carter Jamison at defensive back, Auburn commit Jaylon Moore (6-foot-4, 290 pounds) at offensive line and Colorado commit Kenny Fairley at defensive line. A run-heavy Shiloh offense must find a way to crack a talented defense. The unit leans heavily on its line and senior running back

Parkview, South Gwinnett bring high-powered offenses into Round 1 matchup

Two of Gwinnett County’s most potent offenses face off in the first round of the Class AAAAAAA state football playoffs on Friday in Lilburn. Parkview hosts South Gwinnett in a rematch of a regular-season game from Aug. 28, when visiting Parkview posted a 55-29 win. A quick start that night proved to be the difference for the Panthers, who jumped out to a 20-3 lead after the first quarter. Zandon Mullins powered the victory with 25 rushes for 164 yards and four touchdowns, though quarterback Greg Hart completed 12 of 14 passes for 281 yards and a TD. Most of the passes went to Christian Ema, who had seven catches for 200 yards and a score. South quarterback C.J. Peoples also had a big day in a losing effort, completing 14 of 25 passes for 302 yards and three TDs and rushing nine times for 50 yards. Jayden Juniors had five catches for 116 yards and a TD, and Jaleel Braker had two catches for 60 yards and two TDs.
