Friday Game Night

A Wesleyan field goal with two seconds left to play was the difference as the Wolves took down North Hall, 24-21.

With 8:16 left in the game, quarterback Drew Richardson found his second rushing touchdown of the night, and the East Jackson defense held as the Eagles knocked off Commerce Friday night, 14-13.

Elijah Hayes scored three touchdowns and Brett Sturm accounted for four as West Hall got their first win of the season with a 54-14 win over Northview.

East Hall gave up a touchdown on the opening drive to Oglethorpe County but surrendered nothing more as the Vikings went to 2-0 with a 40-7 win Friday night at home.

KT Thompson had four touchdown catches as Cherokee Bluff took down Apalachee, 49-7, Friday night.

Week 1 saw some stunning outcomes while also being marred by rain and lightning. Week 2, however, is not as marquee-packed as the opening weekend.

Gainesville and North Forsyth got Week 2 under way on Thursday, with the Red Elephants getting their first-ever out-of-state road win in program history and the Raiders letting a half time lead slip away.

Julius Columbus said they wanted to make history. He and the rest of what is already turning into a nasty Gainesville defense made sure nothing got in their way.

Cherokee Bluff's Ryan Murray redeemed himself with a 14-3 Week 1 finish to give the guest pickers a two-game lead to start the season.

On paper, Week 1 was jam-packed with big games. Did it turn out as good as we expected? Not totally.
