Collins Hill fights into playoffs for Round 1 meeting with unbeaten Newton

After an 0-4 start in non-region play, Collins Hill couldn’t afford any missteps over its final six football games if it wanted to crack the top 32 in the Georgia High School Association’s PSR Power Rankings and earn a state playoff spot. The Eagles needed to keep winning and did just that, going 5-1 down the stretch (the lone loss was to 10-0, defending state champion Buford). They beat Region 8-AAAAAAA’s lower tier teams and topped the two teams also in the postseason discussion — 52-40 over Dacula and 42-34 over Mill Creek. Game 10 wasn’t as much of a test for Collins Hill, which rolled to a 56-6 win over Discovery last week. Jamel Tuff caught four passes — three for touchdowns — for 103 yards, and Kevin Hughes had four catches for 67 yards and two TDs. Johnny Paulk provided a spark with two punt returns for 69 yards. Solomon Thomas (11 tackles, two for losses, three QB hurries, sack, interception) and Christian Fleming (four tackles, one for loss, forced fumble, fumble recovery) were among the defensive standouts last week. Those region wins were good enough to get Class AAAAAAA’s No. 31 seed out of 32 for Friday’s

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
