Senior-less Model girls team still expecting big season

Even after 21 seasons of leading the same program at the same high school, there’s still a learning curve, and there’s still a chance to encounter first-time situations. For Sally Echols, veteran leader of Model High Lady Blue Devil basketball team, the 2026-27 season provides an opportunity for both. It will be the first time she has a varsity roster without a senior. So while there’s a lot of girls looking to her to learn about the game at this level, Echols will be learning how to deal with so much youth and inexperience. However, it’s not like nobody wearing the light blue and white uniforms will know anything about winning. In 2025-26, Model had basically a sophomore-senior roster that went 18-10, finished runner-up in its region tournament and advanced to the second round of the state playoffs. Some of those making up the now-junior class were significant contributors in both the frontcourt and the backcourt. “A lot of tradition here,” said Echols, who led the program to 10 region championships and had 14 teams win at least one game in the state tournament. That includes the 2009 squad that played for the championship. Echols could possibly write her own

McEachern completes undefeated region schedule

KENNESAW — McEachern capped an undefeated region campaign Friday with a dominant 57-0 victory over Kennesaw Mountain, recording its first shutout of the season as the Indians prepared for the state playoffs. The Indians wasted little time taking control, scoring on its opening possession when quarterback Coby Pittman connected with Zyon Robinson on a 7-yard touchdown pass. Pittman added a 29-yard touchdown run later in the first quarter, giving the Indians a 14-0 lead. McEachern extended its advantage when kicker Wes Sheehan connected on a field goal, which was followed by a 66-yard touchdown pass from Pittman to Robinson. Pittman added a 3-yard touchdown run before halftime, sending the Indians into the break with a 29-0 lead. The Indians continued their offensive success in the third quarter. Pittman connected with Jarvaris Reed Jr. on a 32-yard touchdown pass, and James Smith added a 1-yard scoring run to extend the lead to 43-0. Jarvis Nance scored on a 4-yard run in the fourth quarter before backup quarterback Brentoni James threw a 56-yard touchdown pass to complete the scoring. While McEachern's offense found success throughout the night, its defense delivered an equally impressive performance, holding Kennesaw Mountain scoreless for all four quarters.

Undefeated Georgia high school football team faces GHSA investigation ahead of playoffs

Newton High School's (Covington, GA) undefeated football season could face scrutiny after the Georgia High School Association confirmed it's investigating a report alleging the program used an ineligible player. The GHSA received a report concerning Newton's roster, executive director Tim Scott told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Thursday, Nov. 5. However, the association will not complete its investigation or issue a ruling until after the state playoffs conclude, in accordance with GHSA bylaws. Newton enters the final week of the regular season with a 9-0 record, marking the best start in program history. The Rams are one of the top teams in Class 7A. The potential consequences could be significant if the allegations are substantiated. Under GHSA rules, teams found to have used an ineligible player must forfeit every game in which that player participated. That could include postseason contests, depending on the findings of the investigation. The GHSA has forced five football programs to forfeit at least six games over the past decade following eligibility violations. Several of those cases included playoff victories that were subsequently vacated. Scott cautioned against assuming Newton will face disciplinary action, noting that allegations submitted to the association frequently do not result in penalties. For

Collins Hill closes regular season with convincing win at Discovery

LAWRENCEVILLE — Collins Hill senior quarterback Makyree Cross threw five touchdown passes for a second straight week as the Eagles defeated Discovery 56-6 in high school football on Friday. This win puts the Eagles at 5-5 overall, including a 5-1 record in Region 8-AAAAAAA. The Eagles came into the matchup looking to end their regular season on a three-game winning streak while keeping their postseason hopes alive. Eagles head coach Drew Swick is proud of how his team ended the regular season after facing early adversity. “We had to have those losses early on,” Swick said, referencing an 0-4 start to the season. “It was not easy. It was tough but we kept working and kept pushing.” Swick gave credit to Cross and his leadership after losing him to injury earlier in the season. “Cross has been the difference,” said Swick. “He’s QB1 and he’s learned how to lead. He’s taken this team under his arm and has done everything to get the (offensive) line right (along with) everybody else.” Cross’ leadership showed in the game. After throwing a 10-yard touchdown pass to senior receiver Jamel Tuff, giving the Eagles an 7-0 lead in the first quarter, Cross threw an
