Wesleyan defense shines in big win over KIPP Atlanta in 5-AAA football

ATLANTA — Wesleyan’s defense put up another impressive performance in a big 14-7 win over KIPP Atlanta in Region 5-AAA football at Lakewood Stadium on Saturday. The Wolves (6-3, 4-2 region) pitched a shutout until KIPP (6-3, 4-2) scored in the game’s final two minutes. After that score, they recovered an onside kick and finished off a victory that sent them into a three-way tie for second in 5-AAA with Lovett and KIPP. Unbeaten Holy Innocents’ leads the region. Wesleyan went up 7-0 with 5:15 left in the first quarter after a long drive ended with Jameson Hilton’s 2-yard touchdown pass to Beck Baxley. The Wolves took advantage of a fumbled punt late in the second quarter for another score. Hilton capped the short possession with a 12-yard scoring pass to Hudson Barnett with 50 seconds left in the second quarter for a 14-0 halftime edge. The Wesleyan defense held on in the second half with stop after stop, including an end zone interception by Quin Brown with 7:10 left in the fourth quarter.

Florida vs Georgia football: High school record-holders meet in SEC rivalry

When Georgia and Florida face off in the Worlds Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party on Saturday, the matchup will feature two Georgia high school football legends. Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton, a Rabun County graduate, holds the state's career passing touchdowns record with 177. Florida quarterback Aaron Philo, a Prince Avenue Christian graduate, owns the all-time passing yards record with 13,922. Philo was named the Gators starter Thursday, despite suffering a shoulder injury in the fourth quarter of Florida's loss to South Carolina. He missed the following week's game, when the Gators pulled off a 27-24 upset over Texas with Tramell Jones at signal-caller. Adding another layer to the matchup, the rivalry will take place in Georgia this year at Mercedes-Benz Stadium – the same place that Philo broke his state record. The game is traditionally played at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, but renovations have forced the rivalry to relocate until 2028. Although Philo and Stockton have shared the field three times since 2020, they have never faced each other directly. In 2020, Rabun County edged out Prince Avenue Christian 38-31 with Stockton at the helm. Philo was a freshman at the time, backing up former Georgia and Kentucky five-star quarterback Brock

Brookwood returns from break with convincing win at Berkmar

LILBURN — Brookwood running back Brayden Tyson scored three touchdowns in the first quarter and the Broncos returned from a two-week bye with a 53-0 win over Berkmar in Region 7-AAAAAAA football on Friday. Tyson, a South Carolina commit, scored on runs of 11, 22 and 47 yards. The win puts the Broncos (8-1, 4-1 region) into a three-way tie for first in 7-AAAAAAA with Parkview (7-2, 4-1) and North Gwinnett (8-1, 4-1). Brookwood finishes the regular season at home next Friday against Peachtree Ridge, while Parkview faces North in the two games that will determine the region championship. Broncos head coach Chad Nighbert loved his team’s execution after coming off a double bye week. “We had a good week of preparation,” Nighbert said. “It’s been a long time since we hit somebody else so it was really about focusing and playing our game.” Tyson rushed for over 100 yards in his three-TD game. He gave credit to his teammates for his performance. “My teammates and offensive line played a great game,” Tyson said. “Without them, I would not be able to play the way I played.” Tyson scored on back-to-back drives, running it in from 11 and 47 yards,
