Dacula, Mill Creek to battle for third in Region 8-AAAAAAA
Dacula and Mill Creek have experienced similar journeys through the Region 8-AAAAAAA football schedule with each losing to Buford and Collins Hill and defeating the rest of the region. The two rivals play Friday night for third place in the region, though the stakes are a little higher for the Falcons. Dacula sits at No. 34 in the Georgia High School Association PSR Power Rankings, just two spots away from a state playoff berth. A loss to Mill Creek would finish off the Falcons’ postseason hopes. A victory would guarantee Dacula’s first winning record since 2021. Mill Creek is outside of the playoff contenders at No. 41, but it hopes to finish the season on a high note and maintain the upper hand in the rivalry with Dacula — the Hawks have won the last six meetings and 10 of the last 11 in the series. That playoff positioning would have been slightly better with a win over No. 33 Collins Hill last week, but Mill Creek surrendered too many big pass plays in a 42-34 loss. Despite the loss, the Hawks had one of their best nights of the season in the rushing attack as Nick Tuck carried 26

Norcross fighting for playoffs in game at surging Duluth
Norcross’ defense of its position in the state football playoff race is at the forefront of Friday night’s rivalry game with Duluth, which is playing its best late in the season. Heading into the regular-season finale, Norcross sits at No. 29 in the Georgia High School Association’s PSR Power Rankings and among the 32 teams who will qualify for state. A loss to No. 42 Duluth would give the Blue Devils a losing record and would put their playoff hopes in great peril. Norcross has won 18 straight games in the longtime rivalry, including 35-21 last season. Its last loss to the Wildcats came in 2003, well before the current players were born. Maintaining that streak looks tougher with how Duluth has played of late, including back-to-back wins over Hebron Christian and Berkmar. Though the Wildcats lost 40-34 in double overtime to Peachtree Ridge last week, they show considerable moxie in a second-half comeback. Down 21-0 at halftime, they outscored Peachtree Ridge 27-6 over the final two quarters to force OT. There were no shortage of offensive stars for Duluth in that loss. Quarterback Marion Luckett completed 15 of 29 passes for 233 yards and three touchdowns, and rushed for
