'The Voice of Atlanta' honored on Campbell High history wall
SMYRNA — Campbell High School added another esteemed name to its history wall Thursday afternoon. Students will now see the face of popular radio personality and P.A. announcer Ryan Cameron on the wall as they pass through the halls on their way to class. The history wall, located in one of the school’s main hallways, acts as a sort of wall of fame, outlining the school’s extensive history while highlighting the names and faces of some of the school’s most notable alumni. Nicknamed “The Voice of Atlanta,” Cameron is a two-time Emmy Award-winning radio host, broadcaster and multimedia personality with over 30 years of experience in the Atlanta radio industry. Sports fans may recognize Cameron’s name — as well as his voice — from his work hyping up Atlanta sports crowds as the former P.A. announcer for the Atlanta Hawks and current P.A. announcer for the Atlanta Falcons. His signature line “For threeeeee,” shouted every time a Hawks player sank a three-point shot, became synonymous with the team and went on to appear in the popular NBA 2K video game franchise. His broadcasting work has garnered him much critical acclaim, having been inducted into the Georgia Radio Hall of Fame

Grayson dominates in region win over South Gwinnett
LOGANVILLE — For many football coaches, it’s a luxury to be able to give underclassmen valuable experience at the end of lopsided games. For Grayson head coach Greg Carswell, those second- and third-stringers that enter when the game is already decided are future Division I players. Grayson (5-4, 2-1 Region 4-AAAAAAA) dominated visiting South Gwinnett (5-3, 1-1) in every facet on Friday to earn a 52-0 win, allowing Carswell to deploy reserves that would start on many teams in the state. After starter Deuce Smith threw for two touchdowns and rushed for another two, backup quarterback K.J. Simpson ran in a 10-yard score to stamp a perfect night for the Rams. “That kid’s expected to be the guy next year,” Carswell said of Simpson, a junior. “So him being able to get these reps with us having the schedule we’ve had all year and games going down to the wire into the fourth quarter, we haven’t been able to get him in that much. So when he’s able to get in there and do what we know he can do, it’s a great thing to see.” For the time being, though, Smith is more than capable of being the leader

Providence Christian earns first football win in 19 tries against Athens Academy
LILBURN — Providence Christian broke through Friday night with a big win over a longtime football nemesis. The Storm defeated Athens Academy 35-28 on quarterback Riley Braiden’s touchdown run with 13 seconds left, earning their first victory over the longtime Athens power in the 8-AA matchup. Providence entered Friday’s game with an 0-18 all-time record against the Spartans, and almost all of those losses were in lopsided fashion, including a 69-13 setback last season. Until their breakthrough win, the Storm had never held Athens Academy under 40 points in a game. “What an unbelievable football game,” first-year Providence head coach Trae Owens said. “Our players showed tremendous character and resilience tonight. We got down 14-0 early, battled back to tie it, and then went into halftime down 21-14. Our guys never folded, never flinched and continued to believe in each other. “All three phases played a huge role in this win. Our defense made stops when we needed them most, our offense capitalized when we had opportunities and our special teams created two big turnovers that gave us momentum. This was a huge win for our program against a team we had never beaten before, just a complete team win.
