Stockbridge seeks safeguards for Tranquil Trail neighbors

STOCKBRIDGE — Concerns surrounding the Tranquil Trail apartment development resurfaced Monday as Stockbridge City Council approved a list of requested changes aimed at addressing neighboring residents' complaints. Stockbridge City Council voted 4-1 to approve a list of requested changes it plans to negotiate with the project's developer. District 1 Council member LaKeisha Gantt made the motion, which was seconded by District 3 Council memer Kyle Berry. Gantt recognized the residents’ voice during the council’s discussion. “There have been numerous emails. We've had a town hall,” Gantt said. “We've had the community come out. They came out today, and they've had comment after comment and they made it very clear. They say we hear them, but we're not taking action on or that they want some type of action to take place.” The motion included six requests: — Add a fence along the rear property lines before residents move in. — Install double rows of evergreen trees at least 15-feet tall. — Shield outdoor lighting and direct it away from neighboring homes. — Limit construction to clearly defined daytime hours with enforceable penalties. — Move the dumpster to the front of the site, away from neighboring homes. — Require all future

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

Rainbow Village receives $1.1 million federal grant to expand housing and services for homeless families

Rainbow Village is receiving a $1.1 million federal investment to help expand housing and support services for families experiencing homelessness, marking a significant milestone in the nonprofit’s ongoing efforts to address housing instability across Metro Atlanta. Approximately two years into its Building Homes, Building Hope Capital Campaign, the organization was awarded the funding through the Congressionally Directed Community Project Funding (CPF) process, administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The funding was secured through the efforts of Senator Raphael Warnock. The investment comes as Rainbow Village prepares for one of the most transformative expansions in its 35-year history. Plans call for the construction of 36 additional apartments on its campus, increasing its residential capacity from 30 to 66 families. Beyond expanding its housing options, the federal funding will help strengthen the organization’s programs, services and infrastructure to accommodate the growing number of families it serves. “Too many Georgia families are struggling to keep up with rising housing costs, making the need for affordable housing increasingly urgent,” Warnock said. “I’m glad this federal funding is going towards Rainbow Village Inc. to support the construction of transitional housing for Georgians experiencing homelessness in Gwinnett County. Affordable housing provides

Shiloh draws huge state test in reigning state champion Creekside

In its return to the state football playoffs, Shiloh faces a tall task in Round 1. The Generals travel Friday night to play at Creekside, last year’s Class AAAA state champion after a 15-0 season. The Seminoles, who haven’t lost to a Georgia team since falling to Marist in the 2024 state semifinals, are 9-1 this season after reeling off nine straight wins since a season-opening loss to Clay-Chalkville (Ala.). Quarterback Savoy Nichols, a 6-foot-6, 205-pound dual threat, leads a balanced Creekside offense with 2,061 passing yards and 26 touchdowns. The Tarleton State (Texas) commit is joined in the backfield by several playmakers led by Clemson commit Gary Walker (927 rushing yards, 15 TDs) and Branden Wiley (580 rushing yards, 12 TDs). Five Creekside receivers have at least four TD catches, including Boston College commit Armani Hill (19-478-7). Other standouts on the loaded Creekside roster include Alabama commit Darrius White and Tennessee commit Carter Jamison at defensive back, Auburn commit Jaylon Moore (6-foot-4, 290 pounds) at offensive line and Colorado commit Kenny Fairley at defensive line. A run-heavy Shiloh offense must find a way to crack a talented defense. The unit leans heavily on its line and senior running back

North Cobb has hands full with visiting Archer

North Cobb is going up against an Archer team that has lost five of its past six games. It would appear that the Warriors (8-2) are facing good odds of getting through the first round of the Class AAAAAAA state playoffs tonight at home. Here’s the catch. Four of Archer’s losses came against top-tier programs such as Roswell, Carrollton, Grayson and Newton. The Tigers’ losses to Roswell and Newton were both high-scoring affairs while Grayson and Carrollton were more lopsided. While Archer (5-5) lost by more than 30 points to Carrollton, Archer’s defense held the Trojans to fewer than 40. Carrollton scored more than 60 in seven of their 10 wins this year. “They are a very physical and big football team,” North Cobb coach Shane Queen said. “This is a team that is better than what their record indicates. They held Carrollton to their lowest point total all year.” The Warriors aren’t a team that spends time dwelling on their opponents. They focus more on how they help themselves. They know that Archer’s first-year starting sophomore quarterback CJ Cypher has already thrown for 3,164 yards this season, 48 touchdowns and no interceptions. Obviously they have to come up with

Archer survives tough region for state playoff trip

When the Class AAAAAAA high school brackets were finalized last weekend, Archer and North Cobb drew a familiar opponent in the first round. The two teams played each other the previous two years in the regular season, so Friday’s state playoff matchup makes it three straight seasons. North Cobb won both previous meetings, 28-14 at home in 2025 and 49-21 at Archer in 2024. Archer reached the postseason while navigating an incredibly tough schedule that included No. 3 overall seed Carrollton before a region slate that featured No. 2 Newton, No. 12 Grayson and No. 19 South Gwinnett. The Tigers were off last week after a 49-23 loss at Newton in Game 10. After losing record-breaking Jordan Do to graduation off last season’s team, Archer still leans heavily on its quarterback, Jamal Ambler. The junior has 1,797 passing yards and 17 TDs, along with 241 rushing yards and three TDs. His top targets are Robbie Dunn Jr. (65 catches, 722 yards, nine TDs), Avery Booth (34-433-3), Jayden Davis (24-312-3) and Gary Isaac (23-175-4). Archer’s defensive playmakers include Joshua Booker (68 tackles, three for losses, five caused fumbles), Kevin Gwibuka (65 tackles, three for losses, four interceptions, two caused fumbles, one

Parkview, South Gwinnett bring high-powered offenses into Round 1 matchup

Two of Gwinnett County’s most potent offenses face off in the first round of the Class AAAAAAA state football playoffs on Friday in Lilburn. Parkview hosts South Gwinnett in a rematch of a regular-season game from Aug. 28, when visiting Parkview posted a 55-29 win. A quick start that night proved to be the difference for the Panthers, who jumped out to a 20-3 lead after the first quarter. Zandon Mullins powered the victory with 25 rushes for 164 yards and four touchdowns, though quarterback Greg Hart completed 12 of 14 passes for 281 yards and a TD. Most of the passes went to Christian Ema, who had seven catches for 200 yards and a score. South quarterback C.J. Peoples also had a big day in a losing effort, completing 14 of 25 passes for 302 yards and three TDs and rushing nine times for 50 yards. Jayden Juniors had five catches for 116 yards and a TD, and Jaleel Braker had two catches for 60 yards and two TDs. Those same players on both sides have continued to put up big numbers throughout the season, including last week in Game 10 losses. Peoples was 19 of 33 passing for
