The Johnson defense put in another dominating performance Friday night in a 26-0 win over Pickens at Billy Ellis Stadium.

North Hall coach Bob Christmas and the Trojan football team took a 20-7 Region 7-AAA win over White County Friday night. But they did it holding their collective noses.

For about two minutes Friday night it looked like the Gainesville High football would have a game on its hands against East Hall.

Forget recent records and forget that there are new coaches and faces at one school. It's Gainesville against East Hall week and everyone knows what that means.

It's been nearly two weeks since Johnson ended its eight-year losing streak to West Hall, but coach Blair Armstrong says they've been able to keep their feet on the ground.

Two of the GISA's most powerful football teams early in the 2003 season will collide Friday when Riverside Military Academy travels to Monticello to play Piedmont Academy.

New Habersham Central football coach Gene Cathcart knew there would be growing pains. But he was hoping they wouldn't hurt so much.

There's explosive and then there's the North Hall offense. The Trojans only had the ball for five plays in the first half of last week's 44-14 win over Flowery Branch, yet led 14-7 at halftime and had another score called back.

West Hall coach Ken Aldridge says his team, just three games into its season, is already playing as if the playoffs are on the line.

Flowery Branch head football coach Lee Shaw probably wouldn't call it a prediction, but it sure sounded that way when asked what his prospects were of getting the school's first-ever win Friday night against Gilmer County in a Region 7-AAA battle.
