Shaw beats Monroe to secure Georgia high school football state playoff berth

The Shaw Raiders (5-5, 3-5) are back in the Georgia High School Association football state playoffs for the first time since 2024. They defeated Monroe 12-8 (2-8, 2-5) Thursday night at Kinnett Stadium in Columbus. Monroe got on the scoreboard first on a 77-yard run by sophomore running back Carter Hudson, and they converted on the two-point conversion to go up 8-0. Shaw responded when sophomore quarterback Daylen Peterson scored on a quarterback keeper, but the Raiders failed on their two-point try. After the first quarter, Monroe led Shaw 8-6. In the second quarter, Monroe was driving down the field and was stopped by the Shaw defense at the 8-yard line. Shaw moved the ball to the other side of the field when the Raiders converted on a third-and-18 as Peterson connected with junior wide receiver Marquell Charleston for a 35-yard gain that put the Raiders at first-and-goal. But failed to score as Monroe’s defense made a goal-line stop. Monroe flipped the field and moved the ball to the 50-yard line but was forced to punt. The Raiders were pinned deep after the punt landed on their 1-yard line. Shaw drove the ball away from the goal line but didn’t

Norcross fighting for playoffs in game at surging Duluth

Norcross’ defense of its position in the state football playoff race is at the forefront of Friday night’s rivalry game with Duluth, which is playing its best late in the season. Heading into the regular-season finale, Norcross sits at No. 29 in the Georgia High School Association’s PSR Power Rankings and among the 32 teams who will qualify for state. A loss to No. 42 Duluth would give the Blue Devils a losing record and would put their playoff hopes in great peril. Norcross has won 18 straight games in the longtime rivalry, including 35-21 last season. Its last loss to the Wildcats came in 2003, well before the current players were born. Maintaining that streak looks tougher with how Duluth has played of late, including back-to-back wins over Hebron Christian and Berkmar. Though the Wildcats lost 40-34 in double overtime to Peachtree Ridge last week, they show considerable moxie in a second-half comeback. Down 21-0 at halftime, they outscored Peachtree Ridge 27-6 over the final two quarters to force OT. There were no shortage of offensive stars for Duluth in that loss. Quarterback Marion Luckett completed 15 of 29 passes for 233 yards and three touchdowns, and rushed for

Floyd County Schools named Georgia Charter System of the Year

Floyd County Schools was named Georgia Charter System of the Year on Wednesday in Athens during the annual Georgia Charter System Conference. The honor recognized the district’s focus on innovation and its ability to deliver a community-centered culture. A charter system is similar to a charter school but on a larger scale, with similar flexibility to reshape its organizational identity, maximize academic efforts, modernize communication channels and unite the district under a shared collaborative front. “We really see this as a teacher award because it’s driven by them,” FCS Assistant Superintendent and Chief Academic Officer John Parker said. “It’s about their focus and dedication every day in the classroom, and how they are helping educate our students.” In addition to receiving the award, FCS leadership presented a featured session, “Success Is Not an Accident,” at the conference, highlighting how aligned strategy and intentional dialogue drive long-term district progress. “Charter flexibility gives us the structure to innovate, but true progress happens when every school and community partner moves together as one unified front,” Parker said. “We used our charter status as an opportunity to rebrand who we are around a single, shared purpose: fostering community success.” There are three different types
