Young finding his stride under center for Allatoona
Allatoona faces its toughest test of the season when the Buccaneers travel to visit four-time state champion Cartersville in Region 7AAAAA action in Weinman Stadium on Friday. Fortunately for Allatoona, the player leading the charge against the Purple Hurricanes will be quarterback Frank Young. The 6-foot-2, 195-pound senior has had his ups and downs, along with some injuries to overcome in becoming Allatoona's quarterback. However, he enters the contest riding a wave of momentum after producing one of the best games of his career last week in handing Villa Rica a 39-19 loss. Young ran for 124 yards and two touchdown while also completing 7-of-8 passes for 76 yards and another score in a 39-19 victory over Villa Rica. "It was definitely one of the best games of his season, and I'm super excited for him," Allatoona first-year head coach Paul Carter said. "We gave him a different opportunity under center and he gained more confidence. It allowed him to get more yards without having to throw the ball, move the offense downfield and it paid off." Young's patience from the injury last year has really paid off. He wasn't able to play in 2025 due to an injured shoulder,

Late-inning eruptions push Armuchee into GHSA 'Sweet 16'
Breaking in the future home of Armuchee High softball Monday, Indian bats took a few innings to wake up and start producing one run after another in both contests played against northern neighbor Chattooga High. In the end, Armuchee, the No. 5 seed in the Georgia High School Association Class AA softball playoffs, swept the doubleheader 9-1 and 13-3 to advance to the second round, which will take place in one week, also at home. That second-round best-of-three series that will start with an Oct. 19 doubleheader is against a fellow Region 6-2A member, Mt. Zion-Carroll. Like with Chattooga, Armuchee swept both regular-season games against Mt. Zion, both games having a five-run margin in favor of the Indians. Indians head coach Andy Henderson said the new all-turf field that will also stage Indian baseball games in the spring played well even though they worked to try to get the old field they had played on all season ready after a weekend of rainy weather. That wasn’t possible, however, so fans got a look at the new field and showed up in high numbers. Aubrey McConkey pitched a six-inning complete-game to start the doubleheader and struck out 12. The senior started

Blue Devils storm past Armuchee 49-0
The Model High Blue Devils have made it a habit to score quickly and score often in football games, and Friday night was no exception. For the fifth time in six games, the Blue Devils scored on their first possession, taking an early lead over Region 6-2A rival Armuchee HIgh and never looking back en route to a 49-0 domination over the visiting Indians. With impending stormy weather approaching Floyd County later in the night, Model was hoping to get out front early, build a big lead, and substitute liberally in the second half. Mission accomplished. “We had some early success on offense, and I was proud to see some guys score on defense, too. That makes it a lot of fun,” said Model head coach Jeff Hunnicutt. “We got a lot of kids some reps, and I was glad to see our guys handle their business. Hats off to our coaching staff, because we didn’t have a great week of practice, but I thought we executed pretty good when Friday night got here.” The Blue Devils (6-1, 3-1) not only scored on their first five offensive possessions, but they also added a pair of first-half defensive scores as well.

Whitefield rolls over Walker in Round 1
MABLETON — The Whitefield Academy softball team made its first trip to the state tournament last fall. The Wolfpack enjoyed the experience so much, they hope to now make it an annual occurrence. With an aggressive approach at the plate and an afternoon of solid pitching and defense, Whitefield beat Walker 16-0 and 20-0 on Monday to complete a doubleheader sweep in the first round of the Class AA-AAAA Private state playoffs. The ninth-seeded Wolfpack (21-7), who tied for first in the regular season in Region 5AA, advanced to face eighth-seeded Wesleyan next Monday with a berth in the state tournament in Columbus on the line. “We’ve been preaching to the girls about working on hitting the ball to the middle and to the opposite field because that’s what we’ll have to do against Wesleyan with their power pitchers,” Whitefield coach Mike Fuller said. “To be able to do that tonight, I was happy with our swings and the hits we got up the middle and to right field. We know we’ll have to do that against Wesleyan to have a chance. Our defense has been solid all year long, and that’s always an important element of the game. “Once

Warriors Drive Down Dragons 34-33
Sports – The White County Warriors were back in action last night in Jasper, going up against Pickens County in Regional High School Football. The Dragons were early on to the scoreboard, putting up the first seven points of the game, followed by a touchdown run by Gaines Clark, but a penalty on the play would call the score back for further play. The Warriors pushed and moved closer downfield, ending in a touchdown catch by Zach Godfrey to even up the score. Pickens County would immediately cancel that out with a kick return down the full field, putting them back ahead by 7. The Dragons carried that lead to the end of the first quarter.
