Gainesville may have dominated most opponents this season, but on Friday night, the Red Elephants also showed they can win ugly when needed.

Gainesville is the only unbeaten team left in Region 7-AAA after a 35-16 win over West Forsyth Friday night in prep football action. Blake Sims accounted for 294 total yards and four touchdowns for the Elephants (6-0,2-0 in 7B-AAA) in the win. Class AA No. 1-ranked Buford got a score from Cody Getz just 10 second into the game in taking a 49-7 win over Avondale in Region 6-AA play.

Jefferson tightened its grip on Region 8-AA on Friday night courtesy a 47-20 win over Riverside in Jefferson.

Daniel Drummond rushed for 244 yards and scored three touchdowns to lead Flowery Branch to an easy 55-7 win over rival West Hall Friday night in Region 7B-AAA action.

Third-ranked Athens Academy scored late in the fourth quarter to pull out a 19-13 win over visiting Commerce on Friday night in Athens.

It was a bigger, stronger, better Buford Wolves team that hit the field this week, compared with last week, as the Wolves rolled past Avondale 49-7 at Tom Riden Stadium in Buford.

North Hall's Nolan Clark and Flowery Branch's Kiara Woods both were looking to make their own mark on the Hall County Cross County Championships Tuesday at Chestatee Middle School. And neither was disappointed as they both came away with wins in record-setting fashion.

Flowery Branch, Johnson, Chestatee and Creekview each won Region 7-AAA matches on "Mike Adcock Night" Tuesday at Johnson High in Oakwood.

Houston Nutt needed just five games to get a signature win at Mississippi. Jevan Snead threw two touchdown passes, ran for another score and led the Rebels to a stunning 31-30 victory at No. 4 Florida on Saturday.
