Parkview outlasts South Gwinnett in 63-56 first-round state football matchup

LILBURN — Not surprisingly, two of Gwinnett County’s most potent offenses put on a show Friday night. In the end, No. 14 seed Parkview outlasted No. 19 seed South Gwinnett for a 63-56 victory in the first round of the Class AAAAAAA state playoffs. Parkview, which improves to 8-3, will travel to No. 3 Carrollton on Friday, Nov. 20 in the second round. Meanwhile, South Gwinnett sees its season come to an end with a 6-5 record. Friday’s game was the second straight wild one for Parkview, which lost 57-55 to North Gwinnett in the regular-season finale with the region championship at stake. “Always say, man, coming off an emotional game from last week, you’re coming into the playoffs and you’ve got to get up again,” Parkview head coach Adam Clack said. “Now, it’s win or go home and just proud of the guys. We had so many guys having to step up. … Heck, we were warming up at 6 o’clock. They had bus issues, and 100 points on the board. So, it’s one of those games, man, in 7A Georgia.” Friday night’s game at Parkview was delayed 45 minutes due to South Gwinnett’s bus experiencing an accident en

Grayson dominates Camden County in Class AAAAAAA first round

LOGANVILLE — While rookie Grayson head football coach Greg Carswell is glad to have his first postseason win behind him, there’s little time for celebration with a second-round meeting with Lowndes on the horizon. That’s why Carswell was happy to get the early game on Friday night. The No. 12 Rams (7-4) had no trouble with No. 21 Camden County (5-6), breezing by for a 49-0 victory in the Class AAAAAAA first-round matchup, which began at 6 p.m. “I just want to thank God for putting me in a position to have people that trust me to be in this position,” Carswell said. “I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to lead these young men. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to wake up this morning and be able to coach this game.” Grayson began the onslaught on the game’s first play from scrimmage, as Jo’Real Ellinger fell on a Camden fumble at the Wildcats’ 40-yard line. Terrell Smith then ran in the game’s first score from 13 yards out to give the Rams a 7-0 lead. Camden then pieced together its best offensive drive, but Grayson blocked a 36-yard field goal attempt and Rilee Drew returned the

Archer upends North Cobb in Round 1

ACWORTH — Archer’s coach doesn’t consider the five setbacks in the Tigers’ last six regular season games to be losses. Instead, they were lessons that prepared the way for a first-round playoff victory. Archer defeated North Cobb 24-17 Friday night. The Tigers move on to play Buford, which is ranked No. 1 in the state and No. 3 in the nation by MaxPreps and USA Today. It was the eighth straight season the Warriors were eliminated from the playoffs at home. “We played arguably one of the toughest schedules in the state of Georgia, and we welcomed it,” Archer coach Dante Williams said. “We’re the ones that signed up for it because to be the best, you have to beat the best. “And so, you know, five of those games didn’t go our way, but they weren’t necessarily losses. We talk about them being lessons. We learned a lot and we knew if we just get into the tournament, get into the playoffs, we’ll be battle-tested and ready as anybody in the state.” They certainly were Friday at Emory Sewell Stadium, where the Tigers defense kept North Cobb in check.

Unbeaten Newton eliminates Collins Hill in state football playoffs

COVINGTON — A four-touchdown performance in the return of Kevin Hartsfield helped Newton take down Collins Hill 42-15 in the opening round of the Class AAAAAAA state football playoffs Friday. In a game highlighted by the work of No. 3, the Rams were strong in all three phases by game’s end. Friday’s first-round matchup was the first time in the last four weeks that Hartsfield suited up. He suffered an injury back in Newton’s 46-16 win over Rockdale County in early October, but the star back made up for the four missed games with as many scores. Following the win, Newton head coach Josh Skelton described the impact Hartsfield had on the team in his return to action. “Explosiveness, leadership,” Skelton said. “Every time he touches the ball, you know it’s an opportunity for him to score. He’s the best in the country, any time he has the ball in his hands in any way, good things will continue to happen. Our goal was to make it simple. Allow him to lead, be a playmaker and today he was.” Collins Hill won the toss and chose to kick the ball to Newton to begin the action, and Hartsfield awaited as

Buford dominates Marietta in second half

BUFORD – Buford's defense is known to keep even the explosive offenses grounded. Marietta, which averaged nearly 40 points a game this season, couldn't get on the board until the final minute of the game. Therefore, the Blue Devils settled for a 30-6 loss to the Wolves on Friday in the first round of the Class AAAAAAA state playoffs at Phillip Beard Stadium. Quarterback Jayden Whiteside, who threw for more than 2,300 yards during the regular season with 29 touchdowns and only six interceptions, struggled to find his rhythm. He threw for 107 yards, had two interceptions and was sacked six times. His best moment was connecting with Jackson Nesmith for a 29-yard touchdown with 28 seconds left to play in the game, preventing the Wolves (11-0) from achieving their fifth straight shutout. “It was a talented defense across the board,” Marietta coach Cameron Duke said. “We did some stuff that hurt us as well, but (Buford) has a great defense.” Meanwhile, Marietta's defense was solid throughout the first half with Buford leading just 7-0 at the break. While a Buford penalty did nullify a first-down touchdown, the Blue Devils (6-5) were getting stops before halftime after Buford's opening drive.
