Water cooler takes center stage in Game of the Week
It might not be the oldest tradition in Georgia high school football, but the battle for the Brantley-Knott Jug might be the most unique. Newnan and East Coweta have been playing for the right to keep the jug since 2013, when legend has it, the jug (which is actually an old galvanized metal water cooler) was left unclaimed on the field after the game ended. Later, both teams argued over...

Game of the Week: Winder-Barrow @ Apalachee
The Battle of Barrow pits the only two high schools in Barrow County against each other. Apalachee and Winder-Barrow have played 14 times with the Doggs holding a slight 8-6 series lead. The Wildcats, however, have lost five straight to Winder-Barrow. You'd think both coaches would be keenly aware of what's about to happen Friday night at R. Harold Harrison Stadium- you'd be wrong.

Game of the Week: Trion @ North Cobb Christian
With his team trailing 23-20 late in the game on the road in Monticello , North Cobb Christian's Sharnard Banks did what students at the small Kennesaw private school do best- he gave back. Banks' 85-yard kickoff return for a touchdown catapulted the Eagles to an unprecedented third straight win to start the season, and kept the fairytale run going for a school that had previously won only 24...

And for good measure, the person offers to clean up the park next door-adding walking trails, bathrooms and...
