Walton goes cold in first-round loss to Westlake

SOUTH FULTON -- Walton was held scoreless over the final 25 minutes and went on to drop a 35-14 decision to Westlake in the first round of the Class AAAAAAA state playoffs Friday at the Lions Den. The 22nd-seeded Raiders (6-5) trailed 21-14 at halftime and fell behind 28-14 with 8:20 remaining in the third quarter following Cannon Robinson's 56-yard touchdown pass to Avery Whitley. Despite the deficit, Walton managed to move its offense into Westlake territory on two of its final three possessions, but both drives stalled as Robinson added one more score on a 3-yard run with 1:20 left in the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach. "We just got in our own way too many times tonight," Walton coach Daniel Brunner said. "Too many penalties. We had three touchdowns that got called back. We just couldn't overcome our mistakes. The kids fought their tails off. We just couldn't execute when we needed to execute." The 11th-seeded Lions (9-2) moved on to the second round, where they will visit No. 6 seed North Gwinnett. "Super proud of this group," Brunner said. "They fought their butts off all season long. We just came up short. We

McEachern knocks off Harrison for second time in 15 days

POWDER SPRINGS — One year after a painful first-round loss to Walton, McEachern achieved a sense of redemption with a 24-7 victory over Region 3AAAAAAA rival Harrison in the opening round of the Class AAAAAAA state playoffs at Cantrell Stadium on Friday. Casey Barner ran for 201 yards on 16 carries and two touchdown runs of 48 and 73 yards as McEachern (9-2) overcame a 7-3 first-quarter deficit to outscore Harrison (6-5) 21-0 the rest of the way to claim the win and advance to a second-round game at Colquitt County next week. While McEachern faced a similar situation from a year ago, when it lost to Walton in the first round of the Class AAAAAA playoffs after beating the Raiders earlier in the season, the Indians were able to achieve a different result this time around against a Harrison team which they defeated after beating them just two weeks ago. “It definitely feels good,” McEachern coach Kareem Reid said. “We talked about redemption – that was our thing. It wasn’t about revenge, it was about redemption for us and wanted to make sure that we were successful. It’s just one of five (state playoff games) and it’s the first
