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.

Creekview draws first-round matchup at Jackson County

Creekview will be making back-to-back state playoff appearances when it takes the field Friday night at Jackson County. Creekview (6-4) was the 30th-ranked team in the Georgia High School Association’s new postseason rankings, and facing No. 3 Jackson County (10-1), will look to win its first postseason game since 2018, when it reached the quarterfinals. “Our guys are excited for the opportunity,” coach Trevor Williams said. “Obviously, we have a big challenge ahead of us with a very good Jackson County team, but these seniors have been playing football together for a long time. The ability to go out there and put the pads on with a chance to earn seven more days together is something that not every team in state gets, and our guys are well aware of that.” Creekview and Region 8AAAAAA champion Jackson County have some similarities schematically, with both offenses often employing two-tight end sets and utilizing the power run game. The Grizzlies have their first 1,000-yard rusher since 2023 in running back Carson Lott, who heads into Friday’s game with 1,173 yards and 13 touchdowns. The Panthers have also been dangerous on the ground this year between running back Daylan Maxwell (1,476 yards, 20

New PSR produces unlikely matchup between Marietta and Buford in Round 1

Marietta has a tall task ahead this Friday night, as the Blue Devils will travel to Buford to take on the Wolves in the first round of the Class AAAAAAA playoffs. Blue Devils coach Cameron Duke spoke highly of Buford’s talent and coaching, acknowledging the tough task ahead of the Blue Devils this week. The Wolves (10-0) are the No. 3 team in the nation according to MaxPreps. The new PSR system for playoff seeding implemented by the Georgia High School Association this season impacted both teams. Marietta (6-4) and Buford were both negatively impacted by playing two out-of-state games, which don’t carry the same weight in the formula as in-state games do. Marietta is the 24th-seeded team in Class AAAAAAA, while Buford is No. 9. Duke said the way the Blue Devils’ two out-of-state games affected their seed may impact how they approach scheduling moving forward if changes aren’t made. “We’re grateful for the opportunities that we had to go play the NFL Academy and play St. Cloud, who’s a playoff team down in Florida, and I believe Buford would say the same thing about playing Mallard Creek out of North Carolina and Miami Central out of Florida,” Duke

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.

How Ryan Seacrest is giving his old high school football team something it never had

The future of Dunwoody (GA) High School football is being built by more than just the players on the field. It's being built by hundreds of community members who have come together to give the Wildcats something they've never had before: a stadium of its own. Fueled by a donation from Dunwoody alum and television host Ryan Seacrest and a community-wide fundraising effort, Seacrest Stadium is officially set to break ground the week of Nov. 23, following county approval on Nov. 9. And when it opens next fall, the whole community will be able to call it their own. “I think we’re all kind of part owners of this,” said Steve Fortenberry, former teacher and president of the Dunwoody High School Community Association. “I think you’re really going to see that it wasn’t just the county building this and we show up. This is Dunwoody’s stadium. We are kind of the Green Bay Packers of the high schools.” The project has been years in the making, but it took a collective effort from the community to turn the vision into a reality. It started with a donation of more than $1 million from Seacrest, who played defensive back for the
