Team of the Week pep rally at Pike County HS

Congrats to the Pike County Pirates - our High 5 Sports Team of the Week! 

Team of the Week: Dacula Falcons

The 2018 Dacula Falcons have flown under the radar for most of the season en route to their fourth region title in five years. Other Gwinnett County football programs usually steal the headlines, receiving invites to the Corky Kell Classic, making appearances on ESPN and trotting out 5-star recruits on Friday nights. Not the Falcons. They've got big-time players for sure, including former UGA...

Team of the Week: Monroe Area Purple Hurricanes

When asked how to sustain excellence in a high school football program, Monroe Area head coach Kevin Reach said players and coaches must stay grounded and never look ahead. Reach has only two years under his belt as the leader of the Purple Hurricanes (9-0), and they've both been excellent. In 2017, Monroe Area made it to the second round of the playoffs, only to lose to fourth-ranked Calhoun....

Team of the Week: Mt. Zion-Carroll Eagles

Mt. Zion-Carroll won their third High 5 Sports Team of the Week award by out-voting the Rockmart Yellow Jackets, East Coweta Indians, Blessed Trinity Titans and Kell Longhorns on a four-day long Facebook poll.

Team of the Week: Forsyth Central Bulldogs

Frank Hepler accepted the Forsyth Central head coaching job the same year the Bulldogs moved up two classifications into Region 5-AAAAAAA. It took two-and-a-half seasons for Hepler's team to finally notch a region win, last week's nail biting 24-20 victory on the road at Raider Valley against North Forsyth.

Team of the Week: Pickens Dragons

October in Jasper is hard to beat. Cool, crisp air. Nearby apples- sweet, juicy, and ready for picking. But don't be fooled by that haze drifting over Dragon Stadium at Pickens High School, Chief Meteorologist David Chandley's air quality index still indicates an excellent reading in the North Georgia Mountains. That layer of smoke simply means the Dragons have scored another touchdown and the...

Team of the Week: Fellowship Christian Paladins

Fellowship Christian picked a good week to win High 5 Sports Team of the Week honors. The 5-0 Paladins have a bye week before facing St. Francis in their third region game of the season. Fellowship out-voted several other schools, including the Archer Tigers, on our Facebook poll to take home the award.

Team of the Week: Apalachee Wildcats

Apalachee head coach Tony Lotti could motivate a rock. He might even teach that rock how to block and tackle. Lotti helped motivate the Wildcat faithful to beat Pike County in a fierce Team of the Week Facebook poll battle that eventually totaled over 35,000 votes. Lotti even enlisted the help of his brother Mark in Texas to spread the word about the voting campaign, telling him to just "get it...

Team of the Week: Sequoyah Chiefs

Hickory Flat is accustomed to meaningful gatherings. Not too many years ago Native Americans met near what locals call "Indian Knoll" to trade and socialize.

Team of the Week: North Cobb Christian Eagles

The term "Brotherhood" can get a bit redundant if you live in the metro Atlanta area and pay any attention to the local NFL team's head coach. But, brotherhood is real. If you ask North Cobb Christian head coach Mark Hollars, he'll tell you it's the reason his football team is breaking new ground at the Kennesaw private school.

Team of the Week pep rally at Creekview High School

Congrats to Creekview High School - our second High 5 Sports Team of the Week for the 2018 season. 

Team of the Week: Creekview Grizzlies

Adam Carter expects only the best out of his Creekview Grizzly football team, but the first-year head coach admits his best wasn't always good enough.
