Dorsey brothers enjoying big seasons with Shiloh football

There’s not much that separates identical twins. For Shiloh football’s Tyrese and Tyrell Dorsey, all that divides the two is the line of scrimmage. The brothers mirror each other as quiet, but physical, senior leaders of the Generals. Tyrese is the offensive captain, a 1,200-yard rusher with 15 touchdowns through seven games, while Tyrell is one of the top tacklers (53 tackles, 10 for losses) on a Shiloh defense that’s allowed just over 13 points per outing. That’s where the differences end. “They’re both really similar,” Shiloh head coach Tino Ierulli said. “They both love the game of football, they both love being physical but they’re quiet kids. They’re tough, hard-nosed kids that everyone on the team listens to and respects.” The twins, who grew up outside of Pittsburgh before moving to Gwinnett County in middle school, are nearly indistinguishable in their personalities and their passion for Shiloh football. “I’ve really enjoyed everything about Shiloh,” Tyrese said. “The coaching staff, the moments, the memories, the wins, struggling through workouts, I’ve enjoyed everything.” The Dorseys were on Ierulli’s radar early, noticing a pair of hard-hitting ninth graders who earned spots on the varsity. As sophomores, Tyrese rushed for his first touchdown

Beau Bennett, Hebron Christian give interim head coach Daniel Mejia win after turbulent week

DACULA — Hebron Christian’s Beau Bennett rushed 30 times for 277 yards and scored five touchdowns as the Lions pulled away for a 38-21 victory over Lumpkin County in Region 8-AAA football Friday night. The Homecoming victory capped a tumultuous week for Hebron, which dismissed first-year head coach Quentin Davie mid-week and replaced him with defensive coordinator Daniel Mejia. The Lions, state champions the past two seasons, improve to 3-5 overall and 2-2 in the region — as well as 1-0 under Mejia. “We came to work and all this adversity doesn’t matter,” Mejia said after earning his first win. “We are more than capable of winning from here on out.” Hebron Christian received the opening kickoff and on the first play, Dylan Hudson took the handoff on the end around for 40 yards down to the Indians’ 27. Four running plays later, Bennett carried the ball in from five yards out, leaping over the pile at the goal line. The Lions had a quick 7-0 advantage. Lumpkin County’s drive bogged down after five plays and it was forced to punt back to Hebron. Behind the running of Bennett and a completed pass from Jordan Greene to Hudson, which was

Defense, special teams key Seckinger's victory at Discovery

LAWRENCEVILLE — The high school football season can be a grind for any team or program, but it is extraordinarily difficult for teams that are struggling. The matchup between Discovery and Seckinger featured two teams looking to scratch and claw for their first victory as Region 8-AAAAAAA play continued, and the visiting Jaguars got the breakthrough win. Thanks to its defense and special teams play, Seckinger eked out a 7-6 win — its first of the season — over Discovery, which just missed its first victory since Sept. 1, 2023. It was another close call for the Titans and first-year head coach Andre Clark, who also had narrow losses to Loganville and Apalachee. “I was really proud of how hard we just kept fighting,” said Seckinger head coach Tony Lotti. “Our defense bent but we didn’t break. Bottom line is we made the plays we needed to make to win.” The night began positively for the Jaguars as following a three and out, Ben Cummings sprinted for a gain of 23 yards to the Titan 39-yard line. However, the Jaguars came away with nothing on their opening possession. On fourth and three, a Jackson Locke pass fell incomplete, resulting in
