Woodstock’s Noonday Creek Trail extension to open Saturday

The Noonday Creek Trail Extension linking Woodstock to Cobb County will officially open to the public on Saturday, the city of Woodstock announced. The new trail segment extends Woodstock's existing Noonday Creek Trail south by 1.5 miles, connecting the trailhead near the Woodstock Arts Event Green to Noonday Park in Cobb County. Woodstock and Cherokee County’s trail system is now connected to the one in Cobb County, where officials are planning to eventually connect the Noonday Creek Trail to the Silver Comet Trail, one of the largest paved trails in the United States. "This project has been nearly a decade in the making, and we're thrilled to celebrate its completion," Mayor Michael Caldwell said in a statement. "The Noonday Creek Trail Extension is much more than a recreational amenity. It strengthens regional connectivity, expands transportation options, and creates new opportunities for residents and visitors to experience the natural beauty of our community and beyond." Woodstock officials broke ground on the project in December 2023 with representatives from Cherokee County, Cobb County, the Atlanta Regional Commission, and the Georgia Department of Transportation.

Lassiter back in playoffs after 10 years

Lassiter will travel to Gainesville for a first round matchup in the Class AAAAAA playoffs this Friday night. The game will mark a milestone for the Trojans (8-2), as they have not played a postseason game in 10 years. Lassiter coach Sean Thom said he’s proud of his team for making the playoffs, and acknowledged his players set this as a goal heading into the 2026 regular season. “Excited for them. This is what they’ve worked for, this has been one of the goals,” Thom said. “The mission really doesn’t change, of what our football program is, but the vision, what they want to accomplish. Everybody said ‘Let’s play an 11th game,’ so they did that. I’m proud of the kids, I’m happy for them.” Thom said the support from the Lassiter fanbase and community as a whole has been excellent throughout his tenure at the school, but acknowledged the support and atmosphere around the team this season has been special. “I’ve told our kids, you rewind seven years ago, our place was always packed, and my message used to be ‘Give them a reason to stay.’ Now, when over the years you’ve built this thing up, you have given

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

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.
