High-tech golf driving range coming to Cherokee County

In the summer of 2027, Cherokee County golfers will be able to refine their skills at a high-tech practice range and golf academy that’s scheduled to open in Woodstock by late July. RangeWorks, located at 1465 Woodstock Parkway, is under construction now on a 3.5-acre lot adjacent to The Outlet Shoppes of Atlanta complex. Founder and owner George Mattingly says RangeWorks will combine the best aspects of outdoor golf ranges where shots are hit into open fields and indoor facilities where golfers hit balls directly into screens that use technology to provide feedback on the distance, direction and quality of shots. “We want to be in between the traditional range and the screen experience where the ball travels only about 10 feet before hitting a screen,” Mattingly said. “I want my patrons to have more ball flight and more of an organic experience than just hitting the screen.” A golfer practicing from one of RangeWorks’ 32 practice bays will see his or her shots travel about 80 yards before making contact with a screen that will send instant feedback on the shot’s performance to a screen at the practice bay. “So you experience the flight of the ball, and then

Longhorns get big test with Houston County

Friday’s first-round Class AAAAAA playoff matchup will pit Kell’s depth against Houston County’s star quality. The Bears (5-5) feature Colorado State-committed running back Austin Stinson, who has rushed for 1,727 yards and 24 touchdowns, and highly recruited wide receiver Jeffery Thomas, who has 979 yards and 10 touchdowns on 72 receptions. “They have a really special running back and a big offensive line,” said Kell coach Bobby May. “For us, we need to stop their best players and take away what they do best. There are still some other players who can make plays, but we feel like if we can make them get to their third option, we’ll feel really confident.” The Longhorns (8-2) counter with Georgia Tech commit Moonie Gipson at running back, who is nearing 100% after rehabbing the ankle injury he suffered in last season's playoffs. Gipson has 612 yards and 11 touchdowns, but the Longhorns also have two other ballcarriers with more than 400 yards rushing this season. Senior wide receiver Brock Burrus has committed to West Virginia and has a 1,000-yard season, but junior quarterback Boston Pierce, Cobb County's leading passer, has completed passes to 10 different receivers. Burrus averages 27.5 yards a reception

New PSR produces unlikely matchup between Marietta and Buford in Round 1

Marietta has a tall task ahead this Friday night, as the Blue Devils will travel to Buford to take on the Wolves in the first round of the Class AAAAAAA playoffs. Blue Devils coach Cameron Duke spoke highly of Buford’s talent and coaching, acknowledging the tough task ahead of the Blue Devils this week. The Wolves (10-0) are the No. 3 team in the nation according to MaxPreps. The new PSR system for playoff seeding implemented by the Georgia High School Association this season impacted both teams. Marietta (6-4) and Buford were both negatively impacted by playing two out-of-state games, which don’t carry the same weight in the formula as in-state games do. Marietta is the 24th-seeded team in Class AAAAAAA, while Buford is No. 9. Duke said the way the Blue Devils’ two out-of-state games affected their seed may impact how they approach scheduling moving forward if changes aren’t made. “We’re grateful for the opportunities that we had to go play the NFL Academy and play St. Cloud, who’s a playoff team down in Florida, and I believe Buford would say the same thing about playing Mallard Creek out of North Carolina and Miami Central out of Florida,” Duke

Traffic, density concerns lead Mableton to reject 90-home development

This week, the Mableton City Council denied a rezoning request for a 90-home subdivision. The request from David Pearson Communities sought to rezone 23.12 mostly wooded acres at the intersection of Old Alabama, Cardell and Maxham roads for a single-family development. The council denied the application with Councilman Ron Davis absent. Planning and zoning staff also recommended the application's denial due to concerns over the development's too-high density and not fitting the future land use plan. According to attorney Kevin Moore, representing the project, the plan went through multiple iterations before coming to the council for final approval, including reducing the initial 110 home proposal, which included townhomes, until it reached the 90 single-family home version and added a pool and clubhouse. He said various road improvements, including a protected crosswalk, were included in the plans due to increased traffic concerns. A September revised letter listing stipulations for the development restricted the number of rental units to no more than 10% of homes at one time. Previously the developer proposed an option for a 100% rental community, which stirred both community and council concerns. An additional stipulation agreed to give public servants, including teachers, first responders and civil servants cost-reducing

Mableton approves installment plan for homeowners struggling to pay new tax

MABLETON — Eligible Mableton homeowners facing financial hardship can pay the city's new public safety tax in installments rather than pay the full amount. The program does not waive tax payment or create exemptions, but allows participants to pay in monthly installments through April 5, 2027, alongside any accrued interest, instead of the Dec. 4 due date. The Mableton City Council passed the installment plan Tuesday in a 6-0 vote with Councilman Ron Davis absent. The council created the tax, set at 4.5 mills, a number used to calculate property taxes, to pay for public safety in the city, including payments to Cobb County for police services, two one-year agreements totaling $22.5 million. The city is also using the fund to establish its own police department by June 1. Mayor Michael Owens said the program was developed after the city heard citizens' calls for relief. "The bottom line is this hardship relief program was created because of a need that we know citizens have," he said. The city is unable to waive interest payments because it is mandated by the state. According to Finance Director Karen Ellis, the interest on the deferred payments is 10%. The program is open to
