The Panthers closed the quarter with a 14-9 lead and shut the door for the rest of the night behind Army All-American defensive end D'Andre Walker. Douglas County managed to scrape together just 78 total yards of offense. Malik Oliver went 8-for-13 for 51 yards.


Milton 56, Lassiter 0: Milton racked up 373 passing yards and 127 on the ground for 500 yards of total offense in a dominant shutout of visiting Lassiter.

Norcross 38, Duluth 0: Three quarterbacks accounted for touchdowns for Norcross, as Jacob Gassert (10-yard run), Baron Radcliff (16-yard run) and Griffin Barker (8-yard pass to Jared Simpkins) scored for the host Blue Devils, who led 21-0 at halftime. Running backs Jamir Billings and Dominic Sims each added rushing touchdowns. Blake Bingham made a 40-yard field goal, and Norcross recovered three Duluth fumbles.

 

North Gwinnett 51, Mill Creek 41: North Gwinnett won this high-scoring Region 7 affair behind quarterback John Urzua's 370 passing yards and four touchdowns (on just 14 of 20 passing). Mill Creek quarterback Daniel David rushed for 193 yards and four scores while Jonathan Hawkins totaled 207 yards on the ground with two touchdowns. The game was back-and-forth throughout, but the visiting Bulldogs took the lead for good when Urzua hit Kyler Knudsen on a 68-yard touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter. Josh Imatorbhebhe caught a  29-yard pass later in the fourth to clinch the win for North Gwinnett.
 

South Gwinnett 44, Brookwood 14: Josh Shim passed for two touchdowns and both Christian Malloy and Antonio Woods rushed for two scores apiece as host South Gwinnett rolled over Brookwood. Shim connected with B.J. Johnson and Elijah Shah to get the Comets off to a fast 14-0 start. They extended the lead to 28-0 in the second quarter on runs by Malloy and Woods.

Westlake 42, Pebblebrook 3: Nigel Warrior scooped up a Pebblebrook fumble and returned it 36 yards for a touchdown to give host Westlake a 7-0 lead. Dakota Rocker found Jamauri Elliott on a 35-yard touchdown pass to give the Lions a 14-3 lead and then Westlake running back Jorden Thomas scored the next three touchdowns and extended the lead to 35-3. The game's final touchdown came on a 5-yard run from Justin Broughton.


Woodstock 47, Etowah 44: Reagan Amos caught a 15-yard touchdown pass from Justin Agner in the second overtime to end a thriller. The Wolverines gave up a late 38-31 fourth-quarter lead and were held to a field goal on their first overtime possession but stayed alive by forcing Etowah to kick a field goal of its own. Agner finished with three touchdown passes, having previously connected with Jerrail McMickens from 18 yards. McMickens also had a 39-yard touchdown run.


 

Class AAAAA


 

East Paulding 31, New Manchester 28: Host New Manchester roared back from a 24-0 deficit, but could not catch visiting East Paulding.

Running back Tae Ray then scored twice to extend the lead to 24-0. Jaguars quarterback Tabashi Thomas found Tyler Simmons on a 55-yard score and then hooked up with Tyrone Scott from 18 yards out to tack on two late scores before the half making it 24-14. Thomas found Scott once again, this time in the third quarter for a 70-yard strike. Halfway through the third quarter Omahri Jarrett returned a punt 75 yards to complete a streak of 28 unanswered points to take the lead. Ray quickly struck again for his third score of the game on a 70-yard run to give East Paulding the lead 31-28 with 2:39 remaining in the third. The Raiders stopped the Jags late in the fourth quarter on fourth down.


Forsyth Central 41, Riverwood 13: Forsyth Central's defense capitalized on six Riverwood turnovers as the Bulldogs outscored the Raiders 27-6 in the second half. Running back Shaun Diebel rushed for a team-high 108 yards with a touchdown while tossing a 19-yard touchdown pass.

Josh Jones scored on a 14-yard pass from Nick Patterson with 7:31 remaining in the game to secure Lakeside's victory. Houston County took an early 10-0 lead on Kenny Gant's 8-yard run and Jordon Strevig's 36-yard field goal. But Lakeside's Steven Houzah returned the ensuing kickoff 75 yards for a touchdown. After a Strevig 37-yard field goal, Lakeside countered with a 36-yard field goal from Cole Nanney on the last play of the first half to cut the lead to 13-10. Lakeside took a 17-13 lead in the third quarter on a 24-yard run by Patterson. Houston County led early in the fourth quarter after a 30-yard touchdown run by Gant, setting the stage for Jones' touchdown reception.

Class AAA


North Clayton 7, McNair 6: Visitng North Clayton scored first on a 50-yard touchdown run by Darius Mitchell in the second quarter. That lead would hold but was threatened late in the fourth quarter when the Eagles were pinned on their own 4-yard line after a McNair punt. A halfback toss was dropped by Mitchell and recovered by McNair in the endzone for a touchdown to make the score 7-6. However, the extra point to tie the game for McNair was missed. The Mustangs eventually drove deep into North Clayton territory and looked to gain the lead until an interception by linebacker Christian Cedres with a few seconds left preserved the victory for North Clayton.


Washington 28, Decatur 21: Quarterback DeMarcus Walker ran for touchdown runs of 55 and 20 yards, and also threw the game-winning 31-yard touchdown pass off a flea-flicker trick play to Marquez Thompson in the fourth quarter.
