High-tech golf driving range coming to Cherokee County

In the summer of 2027, Cherokee County golfers will be able to refine their skills at a high-tech practice range and golf academy that’s scheduled to open in Woodstock by late July. RangeWorks, located at 1465 Woodstock Parkway, is under construction now on a 3.5-acre lot adjacent to The Outlet Shoppes of Atlanta complex. Founder and owner George Mattingly says RangeWorks will combine the best aspects of outdoor golf ranges where shots are hit into open fields and indoor facilities where golfers hit balls directly into screens that use technology to provide feedback on the distance, direction and quality of shots. “We want to be in between the traditional range and the screen experience where the ball travels only about 10 feet before hitting a screen,” Mattingly said. “I want my patrons to have more ball flight and more of an organic experience than just hitting the screen.” A golfer practicing from one of RangeWorks’ 32 practice bays will see his or her shots travel about 80 yards before making contact with a screen that will send instant feedback on the shot’s performance to a screen at the practice bay. “So you experience the flight of the ball, and then

Archer survives tough region for state playoff trip

When the Class AAAAAAA high school brackets were finalized last weekend, Archer and North Cobb drew a familiar opponent in the first round. The two teams played each other the previous two years in the regular season, so Friday’s state playoff matchup makes it three straight seasons. North Cobb won both previous meetings, 28-14 at home in 2025 and 49-21 at Archer in 2024. Archer reached the postseason while navigating an incredibly tough schedule that included No. 3 overall seed Carrollton before a region slate that featured No. 2 Newton, No. 12 Grayson and No. 19 South Gwinnett. The Tigers were off last week after a 49-23 loss at Newton in Game 10. After losing record-breaking Jordan Do to graduation off last season’s team, Archer still leans heavily on its quarterback, Jamal Ambler. The junior has 1,797 passing yards and 17 TDs, along with 241 rushing yards and three TDs. His top targets are Robbie Dunn Jr. (65 catches, 722 yards, nine TDs), Avery Booth (34-433-3), Jayden Davis (24-312-3) and Gary Isaac (23-175-4). Archer’s defensive playmakers include Joshua Booker (68 tackles, three for losses, five caused fumbles), Kevin Gwibuka (65 tackles, three for losses, four interceptions, two caused fumbles, one

North Cobb has hands full with visiting Archer

North Cobb is going up against an Archer team that has lost five of its past six games. It would appear that the Warriors (8-2) are facing good odds of getting through the first round of the Class AAAAAAA state playoffs tonight at home. Here’s the catch. Four of Archer’s losses came against top-tier programs such as Roswell, Carrollton, Grayson and Newton. The Tigers’ losses to Roswell and Newton were both high-scoring affairs while Grayson and Carrollton were more lopsided. While Archer (5-5) lost by more than 30 points to Carrollton, Archer’s defense held the Trojans to fewer than 40. Carrollton scored more than 60 in seven of their 10 wins this year. “They are a very physical and big football team,” North Cobb coach Shane Queen said. “This is a team that is better than what their record indicates. They held Carrollton to their lowest point total all year.” The Warriors aren’t a team that spends time dwelling on their opponents. They focus more on how they help themselves. They know that Archer’s first-year starting sophomore quarterback CJ Cypher has already thrown for 3,164 yards this season, 48 touchdowns and no interceptions. Obviously they have to come up with

Woodstock selects new companies for playground renovations

The city of Woodstock has selected different companies to renovate its downtown playground. On Monday, the Woodstock City Council unanimously voted to repeal a $438,961 agreement between the city and Great Southern Recreation for renovations to Woodstock's Downtown Playground. The agreement, approved in July, was for the second phase of playground revovations, including the addition of a Moku-Yama 11.1 Play Structure , drainage work, landscaping and installing 2,500 square feet of artificial turf. According to city documents, city staff started getting quotes from different contractors after there were problems with the company’s work on the Little River Park playground, and after they learned the company purchased playground equipment without a signed agreement to do so. “On August 18, 2026, the City prepared Purchase Order 27-013510 for $438,961.00 to Great Southern Recreation and issued the document to the Parks and Recreation Department. As of October 28, 2026, this document has not been sent to Great Southern Recreation nor is there a signed agreement for services with the City and Great Southern Recreation for the renovation of the Downtown Playground,” a city staff report reads in part. "This is due to the fact that the Parks & Recreation Department began experiencing issues

One oversized Thanksgiving table started Canton’s Rustic Trades

The first table Clay Adams built was too big for his house. On Thanksgiving morning in 2007, his family helped carry it from the garage into the living room. Adams and his wife, Maggie, had been thinking about how many relatives they needed to seat. They had given less thought to how much space would be left afterward.
