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

Cherokee County celebrates opening of Woodworth Park

CHEROKEE COUNTY — Cherokee County and Cherokee Recreation and Parks leaders celebrated the completion of the first phase of the new Woodworth Park in southwest Cherokee Tuesday with a ribbon cutting ceremony. The first phase of Woodworth Park includes the entrance, parking area, playground, green space and lawn area and walking trails. "To see what this looks like today is nothing short of miraculous. It looks really good and we are excited to open this to the community," Cherokee Recreation and Parks Director Jay Worley said. "I think this will be one of those parks that is a destination place to travel, whether that's for the open space, future athletic fields or future recreation center. This is going to be a park that makes a difference for this community. Outside of Patriots Park, this is the first public park that we have built in this portion of the county." The county broke ground on the 56-acre Woodworth Park in February. Located at 2700 Old Highway 92 near Acworth, it sits adjacent to the Vestavia Estates and Salem Woods subdivisions. The name combines the cities of Acworth and Woodstock together, given the park's close proximity to both communities. Additional amenities are

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.
