Grey Richardson excels as Buford wrestling state champ, football defensive lineman

Anytime, anywhere. That’s the motto for Grey Richardson, a state champion wrestler in his weight class and a key member of Buford’s state championship football team last season. It’s not a combination of sports that usually goes together with the calendars overlapping and the physical demands both require, but none of it bothers Richardson. Not even when the two schedules completely back into each other. “I love his attitude,” Buford wrestling head coach Tom Beuglas said. “For example, we’re going out to Kansas City two days after the football state championship. And if we make it, he’s going to have to stay and play football. And I go, ‘I guess you’re not going to be going to Kansas City.’ And he goes, ‘Oh, I’m going!’” Richardson plays on the defensive line in football, a body type that creates both advantages and disadvantages for wrestling. On one hand, a lot of the techniques are the same. Getting leverage, using his hands, beating the guy in front of him. But in the same vein he wrestles in the 285-pound division, a spot many schools either can’t fill or maybe only have one wrestler. It meant at times he had to wrestle a

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

Rainbow Village receives $1.1 million federal grant to expand housing and services for homeless families

Rainbow Village is receiving a $1.1 million federal investment to help expand housing and support services for families experiencing homelessness, marking a significant milestone in the nonprofit’s ongoing efforts to address housing instability across Metro Atlanta. Approximately two years into its Building Homes, Building Hope Capital Campaign, the organization was awarded the funding through the Congressionally Directed Community Project Funding (CPF) process, administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The funding was secured through the efforts of Senator Raphael Warnock. The investment comes as Rainbow Village prepares for one of the most transformative expansions in its 35-year history. Plans call for the construction of 36 additional apartments on its campus, increasing its residential capacity from 30 to 66 families. Beyond expanding its housing options, the federal funding will help strengthen the organization’s programs, services and infrastructure to accommodate the growing number of families it serves. “Too many Georgia families are struggling to keep up with rising housing costs, making the need for affordable housing increasingly urgent,” Warnock said. “I’m glad this federal funding is going towards Rainbow Village Inc. to support the construction of transitional housing for Georgians experiencing homelessness in Gwinnett County. Affordable housing provides

Gwinnett Sheriff's Office hands out Thanksgiving dinners

Thanksgiving is still two weeks away but Gwinnett families lined up at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds in Lawrenceville last Friday to go ahead and make sure they had their Turkey Day meals lined up already. The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office teamed up with Sheriff Keybo Taylor’s Keybo Building Bridges and Volunteer Gwinnett to stage the sixth annual Thanksgiving Food Giveaway last week. The annual event is designed to ensure families can get the key basics of a Thanksgiving meal so they will have a dinner to put on the table on Nov. 26. Families who came to the event, which operated on a first come, first served basis, got a frozen turkey as well as sides such as stuffing and vegetables. “Thank you, Gwinnett, GCSO and all our partners who made the Turkey Drive a success,” Taylor said in a statement on social media over the weekend. “We are a blessed community because of you.”

Central Gwinnett grad launches CollegeSeats to make college football ticket buying more affordable and secure

Adis Tucakovic and his friends had been burned one too many times buying tickets for college football games on the secondary marketplace. So the former Lawrenceville resident decided to “make a difference” by starting his own college-football ticket platform, CollegeSeats. “I’ve been on both sides of the ticketing problem — buying and selling,” said Tucakovic. “That’s where I came from with CollegeSeats and make a difference by putting a little positivity in the world. If you’ve ever bought tickets for a game, you have to find seats on a site, and the price looks fine and once you get to checkout, suddenly its 30% higher because of fees. “Or if you go to a Facebook group, then you’re sending money to strangers, hoping the tickets are real. That’s the burn. There’s always one winner and it’s the people setting the fees. Those are the people who are collecting the money — they are the winners. Everyone else — the buyers and the sellers — are the losers because of the fees.” A 2020 graduate of Central Gwinnett High School who went on to earn a degree in computer science from the University of Georgia, Tucakovic works for the U.S. Air

We Rock The Spectrum gym in Grayson creates an inclusive place where every child can play, belong and thrive

There’s a reason Yusra Syed Lee and her husband Noel opened We Rock The Spectrum kid’s gym in Grayson. The California-based We Rock The Spectrum is an indoor inclusive sensory play gym, created for neurodiverse children. There are some 200 franchises in the United States, Canada and abroad. The couple – parents to three daughters, one on the autism spectrum – opened the facility on Grayson Industrial Parkway in early September. “We started this journey thinking about our own kids and how the world is not so kind towards kids with needs and families who cater to kids with needs,” said Yusra. “There aren’t a lot of spaces that welcome those families. And we were wondering if there was a spot for kids and families like ours. “One-stop shops like this didn’t exist because if they did, we’d be taking our kids there instead of building one.” Yusra, who works as a speech therapist at Emory Decatur Hospital, said that the 17,200-square-foot We Rock The Spectrum in Grayson represents the company’s largest footprint. She added that in a slice of the building – 6,200-square feet – there’s room for birthday parties, camp activities, an in-house sensory-friendly salon and barber shop

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. Those same players on both sides have continued to put up big numbers throughout the season, including last week in Game 10 losses. Peoples was 19 of 33 passing for

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.
