Dacula, Mill Creek to battle for third in Region 8-AAAAAAA
Dacula and Mill Creek have experienced similar journeys through the Region 8-AAAAAAA football schedule with each losing to Buford and Collins Hill and defeating the rest of the region. The two rivals play Friday night for third place in the region, though the stakes are a little higher for the Falcons. Dacula sits at No. 34 in the Georgia High School Association PSR Power Rankings, just two spots away from a state playoff berth. A loss to Mill Creek would finish off the Falcons’ postseason hopes. A victory would guarantee Dacula’s first winning record since 2021. Mill Creek is outside of the playoff contenders at No. 41, but it hopes to finish the season on a high note and maintain the upper hand in the rivalry with Dacula — the Hawks have won the last six meetings and 10 of the last 11 in the series. That playoff positioning would have been slightly better with a win over No. 33 Collins Hill last week, but Mill Creek surrendered too many big pass plays in a 42-34 loss. Despite the loss, the Hawks had one of their best nights of the season in the rushing attack as Nick Tuck carried 26

Buford football one win away from 10-0 regular season, region domination
An 80-yard touchdown pass from Dacula quarterback R.J. Perry to Mohamed Toure — in the first quarter of an Oct. 9 football game — stands alone. While it came in an eventual 48-7 loss, the Falcons scored the only points Buford has allowed this season in a dominant run through Region 8-AAAAAAA. Buford has outscored its opposition 256-7 in five region wins ahead of Friday’s regular-season finale against Central Gwinnett. The reigning state champions haven’t been tested since a 23-13 win at Grayson as they wait their state playoff seeding from the Georgia High School Association’s PSR power rankings, which currently has them at No. 8, a spot behind three-loss Colquitt County. After leading Mill Creek just 14-0 at halftime two weeks ago, Buford got off to a much quicker start last week in a 67-0 win over Discovery. D.J. Hunter completed 5 of 8 passes for 116 yards and three touchdowns, and Brandon Gwinn completed 3 of 5 passes for 65 yards and two TDs on a night when plenty of Wolves played. Braylon Williams, Ian Chafin, Seven Rashad, Colin Oates and Tre Diggs had a TD catch each, and A.J. Granville added a TD run. Buford’s defense was

Lanier rallies for victory at Alpharetta in Game 10
ALPHARETTA — The Lanier football survived against the Alpharetta Raiders for a 21-17 win on Friday night, finishing the regular season with a 5-5 record. The Longhorns trailed 17-14 before a fourth-quarter touchdown, then held off an Alpharetta drive in the waning seconds. “I’m proud of my guys for fighting,” Lanier head coach Tyler Maloof said. “In a game like that, you have to come back in the fourth quarter and get a stop. It wasn’t pretty, but that’s what happens when good teams find a way to win.” On the Raiders’ first offensive possession, Nick Diepetro led off with a couple of runs and he gave the Raiders a first down following a 6-yard run, advancing the ball to the Longhorns 46. A few plays later, quarterback R.J. Graham completed a 9-yard pass to Kyron Pipes on third down, advancing the ball to the Longhorns 16. The march ended with a field goal for a 3-0 edge. On Lanier’s second possession, Dominic LaRocca completed a 19-yard pass to Aden Jones on third and 8, advancing the ball to the 31-yard line. On the next play, the Longhorns committed their first turnover of the game as the fumble was recovered
