Friday Game Night

Here’s a look at five things we learned from week 1 of the high school football season...

The season got started with a bang for some area high school football teams – while others will be going back to the drawing board after a mix of results for northeast Georgia-based programs.

If only Johnson could erase the final four minutes of the second quarter.

Gainesville football took plenty of lessons from last year’s loss to Grayson. The Red Elephants hope they can do the same this time around...

Flowery Branch exploded for 34 unanswered second half points to erase a 3-0 halftime deficit to beat Chestatee 34-10 Friday night in both teams’ season openers.

Rabun County scored 35 unanswered points to erase an early deficit and beat Habersham Central 42-14 Friday night.

Note to the rest of northeast Georgia: Colby Wood and the Jefferson rushing attack are most definitely for real.

East Jackson bounced back from a season-opening loss by handing Lakeview Academy its first of the campaign on Friday.

Jackson County used turnovers and a strong run game to storm to a 48-23 comeback win over Madison County in the Panthers' season opener on Friday in Danielsville.

White County could not pull off a late fightback at Pickens on Friday, falling 13-6 in Jasper.
