High 5 Sports 2025 -- Week 1 Full Show

Two Georgia powerhouses met Friday night in just their second all-time matchup, and this one lived up to the billing. After edging Prince Avenue Christian by a field goal last year, Blessed Trinity leaned on its ground game to take control again. MJ Craft rumbled in for the Titans’ first score before halftime, and Amani Pitts powered through defenders with a dominant rushing performance that included multiple touchdowns. Prince answered with a Ben Musser-to-Hudson Hill connection, but BT’s defense held strong down the stretch. Craft sealed it with another late touchdown run as Blessed Trinity rolled to a 28–13 win, claiming our first High 5 Sports Game of the Week of the season.

It was a rematch of last year?s showdown, with Colquitt County making the 234-mile trip north to face North Gwinnett. The Bulldogs struck first on a Holcomb touchdown pass, tying the game at 7 after Colquitt scored early. From there, North Gwinnett?s defense held strong and the Bulldogs did all the scoring the rest of the way, sealing a 21?7 win over the No. 5 Packers.

Falcons running back Bijan Robinson is making plays on and off the field. During National Volunteer Week, he joined Backpack Buddies of Metro Atlanta and over 500 Mercedes-Benz employees to pack 6,000 meals?more than 7,200 pounds of food?for children in need across the metro area.

Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr.’s mother, Takisha, shares a candid look at his journey from a humble, competitive kid to Atlanta’s new leader on the field.

She also recalls family moments, from smack talk with Buccaneers fans to the whirlwind week of his engagement and NFL debut, offering fans a glimpse of the grounded, determined person behind the jersey.

From hot takes on TSA PreCheck to bold claims that bacon is overrated, this week?s Question of the Week dives into the players? spiciest opinions. From cheese quesadillas being ?just a glorified grilled cheese? to yogurt slander, nothing is safe.

The Falcons may be in preseason form on the field, but their fashion game is already turning heads. Head coach Raheem Morris kept it casual with a repeat blazer-and-T-shirt combo, while Chris Blair rocked a textured throwback hat. The real showstopper? D’Alfred’s furry, Demogorgon-meets-Furby headgear—possibly borrowed from Ray Ray McCloud’s closet.
