Lanier football looks to finish strong at Alpharetta

Lanier has played well during the latter stages of the high school football season, a trend it hopes to continue Friday night at Alpharetta in the regular-season finale. The Longhorns, who currently sit outside the 32-team state playoffs at No. 36 in the Georgia High School Association’s PSR Power Rankings, routed Riverwood 56-0 and Johns Creek 43-14 before giving powerhouse Gainesville a challenge last week in a 29-14 loss. They trailed Gainesvile just 15-14 at halftime and fell behind 22-14 late in the third quarter. It remained a one-score game until Gainesville tacked on a touchdown with 1:41 left in the fourth quarter. A gutsy Lanier defensive effort last week was led by Aden Jones (seven tackles, QB hurry, pass breakup), Roman Woods (five tackles, interception), Dameon Billie Jr. (seven tackles, fumble recovery, pass breakup), Yusuf Haqq (seven tackles, one for loss) and Amari Tucker (seven tackles). Ben Vanden Bos gave the offense a spark in a variety of ways — four catches for 104 yards, five rushes for 11 yards and a 10-yard pass completion. Jared Hill (80 percent blocking grade, two pancake blocks, knockdown block) and Emery Bowlick (78 percent blocking grade, pancake block, knockdown block) stood out

Lassiter putting final touch on best season since 2013

Lassiter can secure its best regular season in 13 years and a possible first-round state playoff home game when it goes on the road for its season finale against Rome in a battle of Region 6AAAAAA teams. With a win, Lassiter (7-2, 4-2) -- which is headed to the state playoffs for the first time since 2016 -- would achieve an eighth regular-season for the first time since 2012 and put itself in position to secure a home game for the first round. It would be the first postseason game at Frank Fillmann Stadium for the Trojans since 2013. “I think more than anything, we’re trying not to just sit here and focus on outcomes, but just trying to get better every single day,” Lassiter coach Sean Thom said. “I think our kids aren’t dumb – that’s the one thing about being at a place like Lassiter, they’re aware of kind of what they’ve accomplished. But I think it shows a growing trend of the hard work that they’ve put in. This senior class is going to be highly thanked, because they’ve really helped put this thing in place. When you combine their class with some of the talent in

Buford football one win away from 10-0 regular season, region domination

An 80-yard touchdown pass from Dacula quarterback R.J. Perry to Mohamed Toure — in the first quarter of an Oct. 9 football game — stands alone. While it came in an eventual 48-7 loss, the Falcons scored the only points Buford has allowed this season in a dominant run through Region 8-AAAAAAA. Buford has outscored its opposition 256-7 in five region wins ahead of Friday’s regular-season finale against Central Gwinnett. The reigning state champions haven’t been tested since a 23-13 win at Grayson as they wait their state playoff seeding from the Georgia High School Association’s PSR power rankings, which currently has them at No. 8, a spot behind three-loss Colquitt County. After leading Mill Creek just 14-0 at halftime two weeks ago, Buford got off to a much quicker start last week in a 67-0 win over Discovery. D.J. Hunter completed 5 of 8 passes for 116 yards and three touchdowns, and Brandon Gwinn completed 3 of 5 passes for 65 yards and two TDs on a night when plenty of Wolves played. Braylon Williams, Ian Chafin, Seven Rashad, Colin Oates and Tre Diggs had a TD catch each, and A.J. Granville added a TD run. Buford’s defense was

Democrats take control of Cobb school board

The slim majority Republicans held on the Cobb County Board of Education was wiped out Tuesday when voters ousted a longtime GOP member. Why it matters: Michael Garza's victory gives Democrats a 4-3 majority and ends the GOP's last foothold in Cobb County. The latest: Garza, whose children attend Cobb County schools, defeated incumbent David Chastain with 55% of the vote. He told Axios he approached his campaign with the message that "this is bigger than just one race and bigger than just one person." He said people have long wanted change for various reasons, ranging from reports of students experiencing racism and antisemitism in the classroom to parents' frustration that their children with disabilities were not getting the services they needed. "To know that those people now see hope that we're going to address those issues and have those honest conversations about really what matters to their families and what matters in our classrooms just means everything to me," he said. What they're saying: Heather Tolley-Bauer is a co-founder of grassroots organization Watching the Funds – Cobb, which for the last five years has been documenting and criticizing spending choices approved by the board. Tolley-Bauer told Axios she hopes

Lindley Middle School teacher named Literacy Teacher of the Year

MABLETON — Dr. Shawndella Roberts, a seventh-grade reading teacher at Lindley Middle School, was named metro Atlanta’s inaugural Literacy Teacher of the Year by the Georgia Council on Literacy on Thursday. Roberts received the honor for her previous work as a third-grade literacy teacher at Birney Elementary School. Cobb Schools Superintendent Chris Ragsdale, along with several representatives from the state, surprised Roberts and her students with the award. The honor comes with two cash prizes: a $1,500 prize for personal use and $500 that will go toward her classroom. Roberts said she was caught off guard with Thursday’s announcement. “It feels amazing. I work really hard with my students (and) do the best I can,” Roberts said. “Your goal as a teacher is to always grow your students. That’s what we all want to do. That’s what we all aim to do.” An educator for the last 25 years, this year is Roberts’ first at Lindley after transferring from Birney Elementary, and marks her 10th year with the Cobb School District. In her current position, Roberts teaches five different reading classes throughout the day, each with students on various reading levels including gifted/accelerated students, targeted students and those reading on-level.

Norcross fighting for playoffs in game at surging Duluth

Norcross’ defense of its position in the state football playoff race is at the forefront of Friday night’s rivalry game with Duluth, which is playing its best late in the season. Heading into the regular-season finale, Norcross sits at No. 29 in the Georgia High School Association’s PSR Power Rankings and among the 32 teams who will qualify for state. A loss to No. 42 Duluth would give the Blue Devils a losing record and would put their playoff hopes in great peril. Norcross has won 18 straight games in the longtime rivalry, including 35-21 last season. Its last loss to the Wildcats came in 2003, well before the current players were born. Maintaining that streak looks tougher with how Duluth has played of late, including back-to-back wins over Hebron Christian and Berkmar. Though the Wildcats lost 40-34 in double overtime to Peachtree Ridge last week, they show considerable moxie in a second-half comeback. Down 21-0 at halftime, they outscored Peachtree Ridge 27-6 over the final two quarters to force OT. There were no shortage of offensive stars for Duluth in that loss. Quarterback Marion Luckett completed 15 of 29 passes for 233 yards and three touchdowns, and rushed for

Brookwood chasing region title, win over Peachtree Ridge

With a little help in northern Gwinnett and a win Friday over Peachtree Ridge, Brookwood can win its first region football title since 2021. The Broncos have to avoid an upset by Peachtree Ridge first and foremost, then hope for North Gwinnett to topple Parkview in Suwanee. If Parkview beats North, Parkview would be the region champion. Both Peachtree Ridge (No. 15 in the Georgia High School Association’s PSR Power Rankings) and Brookwood (No. 5 in PSR) are firmly in the top 32 for state playoff berths, but Friday’s results will impact their seedings and first-round opponents. Brookwood returned from a rare two-week bye last Friday with a 53-0 win over Berkmar. Plenty of Broncos got game action and the regulars played sparingly, but both Brayden Tyson (five rushes, 102 yards, three touchdowns) and Michael Johnso (four rushes, 104 yards, TD) made the most their limited touches. Tyson went over 1,000 yards in the win (1,098) and is up to 15 TD runs on the season. It’s been a shaky three-game stretch for previously unbeaten Peachtree Ridge, which lost to Norcross and North Gwinnett before last week’s win over Duluth. The Lions jumped out to a 21-0 halftime lead on
