Georgia woman wins new Ford Bronco in lottery draw
Marisol Rodriguez recalled she was at a mechanic's garage on Sept. 30 for an emissions test for her 2007 Dodge Nitro, when she received a surprising email saying she had won a brand new Ford Bronco. “I was actually with my other car and trying to pass an emissions test. It failed,” the 26-year-old Lawrenceville woman said Thursday as she stood next to her polished new red 2026 Ford Bronco, which should pass an emissions test. Find a Book: Meet former UGA stars at Athens book signing event “I called them and said, 'Are you sure this is not a scam?' And they said, ‘No, it’s not a scam. You won the Bronco,” she said. Rodriquez arrived Thursday to receive the new Bronco at the Athens Ford dealership on Atlanta Highway in Athens.

Clarke Central football advances, South Effingham eliminated from playoffs
ATHENS — Clarke Central head coach David Perno has never been in a situation where the offense has gone that long without touching the ball. South Effingham managed to string together several massive drives to eat up the clock, but their offensive front could not overpower the Gladiator shield, and the Mustangs fell 28-20 in the first round of the GHSA Class 6A state playoffs. "We had to make a big stop," Perno said. "Offense played good. We moved the ball. We were three for three in the first half. And we knew that drive, right before the half, kind of kept them in it. "I give credit to them. Got to tip your hat. They converted five or six third downs on that drive, ate up the whole second quarter and scored, and then got it coming out and made another long drive. That was bizarre." Clarke Central senior running back Tino Rangel, who transferred in this season from Hart County, got the scoring started for the Red and Gold on a 10-yard sprint with 9:24 remaining in the first quarter. He added his second touchdown on a goal line jump two minutes and 20 seconds later, securing a
