Shiloh draws huge state test in reigning state champion Creekside

In its return to the state football playoffs, Shiloh faces a tall task in Round 1. The Generals travel Friday night to play at Creekside, last year’s Class AAAA state champion after a 15-0 season. The Seminoles, who haven’t lost to a Georgia team since falling to Marist in the 2024 state semifinals, are 9-1 this season after reeling off nine straight wins since a season-opening loss to Clay-Chalkville (Ala.). Quarterback Savoy Nichols, a 6-foot-6, 205-pound dual threat, leads a balanced Creekside offense with 2,061 passing yards and 26 touchdowns. The Tarleton State (Texas) commit is joined in the backfield by several playmakers led by Clemson commit Gary Walker (927 rushing yards, 15 TDs) and Branden Wiley (580 rushing yards, 12 TDs). Five Creekside receivers have at least four TD catches, including Boston College commit Armani Hill (19-478-7). Other standouts on the loaded Creekside roster include Alabama commit Darrius White and Tennessee commit Carter Jamison at defensive back, Auburn commit Jaylon Moore (6-foot-4, 290 pounds) at offensive line and Colorado commit Kenny Fairley at defensive line. A run-heavy Shiloh offense must find a way to crack a talented defense. The unit leans heavily on its line and senior running back

John Knight: Build Smarter, Not Bigger

A smaller house doesn’t always make a more appealing home. In the rural markets Chisel Mill Homes serves, buyers may be willing to trade square footage for acreage, room for an RV and the freedom to make a property their own. That insight has shaped how the South Metro Atlanta builder approaches affordability and finds opportunities beyond traditional new home communities.

Rockdale County 2027 budget cuts $18 million in spending

CONYERS — Rockdale County officials have proposed a $134.97 million budget for 2027 after cutting about $18 million in departmental spending requests to balance the budget without raising taxes. The proposed spending plan, presented during the Nov. 10 Board of Commissioners meeting, represents an $8.2 million, or 6.5%, increase over the county's 2026 budget. Public safety remains the county's largest spending priority, with additional funding directed toward the Sheriff's Office, security at the new judicial and administrative complex and employee compensation. Chief Financial Officer Javaid Majid told commissioners the budget process began with approximately $153 million in requests from county departments and elected officials, compared with projected revenues of approximately $135 million. That left officials to choose between increasing revenue and reducing expenditures. "The options were either we're going to raise taxes or reduce spending," Majid said. "We have no desire to place any additional tax burden on our citizens." Instead, county officials worked with department heads and elected officials to reduce proposed expenditures while attempting to maintain existing services. Majid said the resulting $134,970,617 spending plan is structurally balanced and reflects the county's priorities: public safety, workforce retention, operational efficiency and financial responsibility. The commissioners unanimously approved the first

Sigman-Mills Furniture celebrates milestone anniversary

CONYERS — What began in 1951 with a borrowed truck, a handful of catalogs, and a young entrepreneur determined to build his own business has grown into one of Rockdale County’s longest-running family-owned retail establishments. Seventy-five years later, Sigman-Mills Furniture Company is celebrating a milestone spanning three generations of family ownership, decades of changes in the furniture industry, and Conyers’ growth from a small town into a thriving community. The company will celebrate its 75th anniversary Saturday, Nov. 14 from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with a special La-Z-Boy recliner raffle, $75 gift card giveaways, balloon-pop discounts, storewide savings and refreshments at its Conyers showroom. Founded by William Thomas “Tom” Sigman and his wife, Miriam, in 1951, the business remains in the family and is owned by their daughter and son-in-law, Carol and former Conyers Mayor Randy Mills. Their children, Steven Mills and Caroline Mills Williams, now help run the company day to day. “There’s a lot of pride that comes with being a part of a family business that has lasted so long in a small community,” Carol said. “There aren’t many third-generation businesses around today.” For Tom, building a successful business was a goal shaped by the hardships

County approves road designation for fallen firefighter

CONYERS — Five months after Rockdale County firefighter Juan Antonia Smith II was killed while responding to an emergency call, county commissioners have approved a permanent tribute honoring his life and service. The Rockdale County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously Nov. 10 to designate a section of Sigman Road as the Firefighter Juan Antonia Smith II Memorial Corridor, recognizing the 26-year-old firefighter who died in the line of duty June 12. The honorary designation will extend along Sigman Road from Ellis Drive to East Park Drive, passing Rockdale County Fire Station No. 1, where Smith served. Smith’s parents joined firefighters and county officials for the presentation, which marked the culmination of months of work by community members and county leaders to honor the fallen firefighter. Rockdale County Fire Chief James Robinson thanked those who advanced the proposal, particularly resident Richard Odin, who first brought the idea before commissioners in July. “This is a long time coming, and we appreciate all the hard work that’s gone into this project,” Robinson said during the meeting. He acknowledged the emotional toll Smith’s death has taken on his family and fellow firefighters, describing the experience as unfamiliar territory for everyone involved. Robinson credited Odin
