Brookwood ends Parkview's streak

By The Associated Press
LILBURN - With 2:11 left on the clock, Brookwood senior Garrett Luddeke intercepted a pass at the 1-yard line and scored to seal a 35-21 victory over Class AAAAA rival Parkview, ending the longest high school winning streak ever in Georgia. <br> <br> Parkview had won 46 straight, including three state championships. The Panthers won the 2002 AAAAA title by beating the Gwinnett County rival Broncos 28-7. <br> <br> That victory was Parkview&#39;s 45th and set the Georgia High School Association record. Lincoln County, a Class A school, owned the previous mark with a 44-game winning streak from 1989-91. <br> <br> The second-ranked Broncos rushed for 325 yards on 44 carries and scored three touchdowns of 40 yards or more on the top-ranked Panthers. <br> <br> Junior quarterback Bradley Saylors led the way with 15 rushes for 160 yards and two TDs and added a 40-yard TD pass to Brent Saylor. Chris Covington, who scored Brookwood&#39;s first TD on a 48-yard run, finished with 18 carries for 117 yards. <br> <br> Parkview (1-1) couldn&#39;t run the ball consistently but moved it with the passing of quarterback Todd Faulkner, who was 13-for-18 passing for 152 yards. The loss was Parkview&#39;s first since Dec. 3, 1999 in the Class AAAA quarterfinals at Brunswick and its first home loss since Sept. 4, 1998 vs. East Coweta.
