Gwinnett Chamber Fall Classic Golf Tournament Connects Business

144 golfers filled Bear’s Best Golf Club in Suwanee for the 26th Annual Gwinnett Chamber Fall Classic Golf Tournament. It was a day of friendly competition and business connections that went well beyond the scorecard. Clear skies and crisp fall air made for an ideal day on the course, but the real value came from the conversations taking place between the first tee and final putt.

Dream eye next growth phase after WNBA Finals appearance

Dream President & COO Morgan Shaw Parker said the team’s WNBA Finals run was a “defining moment” for the franchise, adding its impact “extends beyond what happened on the court,” according to Henry Queen of the ATLANTA BUSINESS CHRONICLE. Shaw Parker said, “It introduced us to new audiences and demonstrated what is possible when you combine a talented team, committed ownership, and a city that believes in what you’re building. … Now, our responsibility is to turn that momentum into lasting growth.” She also mentioned that “while ‘Gateway Center Arena has been an incredibly important part’” of the team’s story, it is “time to move on.” The Dream inked a long-term lease at State Farm Arena ahead of a “plan to eventually open their own purpose-built arena.” Shaw Parker: “The challenges we navigated during the Finals underscored the importance of having greater control, flexibility and alignment around our home venue. Our move to State Farm Arena is an important step in that evolution, and our longer-term vision remains focused on finding a permanent home that reflects the future of the Atlanta Dream and the WNBA.” Queen noted it “feels like a new era for the Dream,” and there “will be some roster stability for 2027 with all starting players expected to return” (ATLANTA BUSINESS CHRONICLE, 11/2).

The Effect of a New Region on Westminster Athletics

During the past two athletic seasons, Westminster participated in the GHSA 4A athletics classification. Prior to this year, the GHSA reinstated the 7A class, which was eliminated prior to the 2024-25 school year, resulting in most schools automatically moving up a classification. However, despite past region opponents like Kell and Blessed Trinity each moving up to the 5A classification, Westminster remains in the 4A classification and will be participating in the 1A-4A Class Private for state playoffs for the next two school years.

South Gwinnett rallies past Rockdale on late field goal

CONYERS — South Gwinnett put up 10 points in the fourth quarter and defeated Rockdale County 19-16 in Region 4-AAAAAAA footballl Friday night. Junior kicker Didier Flores Funez connected on a 26-yard field goal with 25 seconds remaining to give the Comets the lead. South Gwinnett (6-3, 2-1 region) entered the matchup looking to bounce back from a 52-0 loss to Grayson. The Comets were in a back-and-forth contest against the Bulldogs (3-5, 0-3 Region 4-AAAAAAA) with both defenses making crucial plays throughout the night before the Comets secured the victory within the final seconds. South Gwinnett opened the scoring on its first possession. After a nine-yard completion from senior quarterback C.J. Peoples to junior wide receiver Oliver Chea and a fourth-down conversion by junior running back Thomas Morris, Peoples connected with senior wide receiver Cohl Hendon for a 25-yard touchdown. A failed two-point conversion gave the Comets a 6-0 lead. The Bulldogs threatened to respond on their following possession, but a 26-yard field goal attempt was blocked by the Comets. South Gwinnett extended its lead to 9-0 in the second quarter when Funez converted a 31-yard field goal. Rockdale County answered immediately, as senior running back Malachi Veasley returned

Alabama recruiting target reportedly makes commitment decision

Three-star cornerback Preston Glasco has reportedly committed to Tennessee over both Alabama and Georgia, per Rivals' Hayes Fawcett . Glasco is a 6'2.5", 190 pound cornerback out of Grayson High School in Loganville, Georgia. The On3 Industry ranks Glasco as the No. 717 overall player and No. 82 ranked corner in the class. Meanwhile, the 247Sports composite ranks him as the No. 883 overall player in the class of 2027 and the No. 88 ranked corner. Glasco was previously committed to UConn before decommitting in September. Alabama appeared to be in a good spot, but Tennessee made a late push in recent weeks. Glasco had named a top three of Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee, with the Vols winning out. Glasco currently has 26 tackles this season for Grayson, one of the premier programs in the state of Georgia. Alabama's 2027 class currently ranks as the No. 32 class nationally, per 247Sports , with 16 total commits, an intentionally smaller class in size. It currently features one defensive back commit, corner Darrius White out of Creekside High School in Fairburn, Georgia.

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.

Hebron Christian toppled by Lovett in Private state volleyball finals

Longtime Hebron Christian Academy volleyball head coach Taylor Davis thought his No. 1-ranked team played well in the Private state championship match Saturday at the LakePoint Sports Champions Center in Cartersville. Unfortunately for Davis and company, No. 2 Lovett was just about perfect. Hebron (44-6) was swept by a different group of Lions (36-6) in three sets — 25-20, 25-20, 25-19. “I gave our team some metrics of the things that we needed to accomplish,” Davis said. “One was we needed to remain in systems. We needed to pass really well, and we did. I think we got aced only three or four times the whole match and we stayed in our systems exceptionally well. It came down to setter-hitter connection, which we did really well at times, but other times we were just a little out of sync, which then ultimately allowed for them to get an opportunity with a more desirable ball for them. That made it tough. I thought we played extremely well today. They just played a little bit better, but we have no regrets.” Seniors Jade Howard and Ashley Troxell led the way with 13 and 12 kills, respectively, while sophomore Elle Walker tallied 21
