In its first region game of the season, Dawson County lost a heartbreaker, 58-56, to Rabun County. And while a 12-2 start before that game would normally be considered the foundation to a great season, Tigers coach Thad Burgess said that loss may have been the moment that helped the team erupt down the stretch. "I told them in the locker room that night that I saw the team we could be," Burgess said. ...

For the Flowery Branch girls soccer team, the season started out quietly enough. The Lady Falcons (10-0, 3-0 Region 8-AAAA) were winning games, shutting out their opponents each time, but only hinting at the levels they might eventually reach. As the season has moved into its second month, however, Flowery Branch has continued to impress. The early run had solidified the Lady Falcons as a contender, not just in their region, but in the ...

It was a pitchers duel in the truest sense Wednesday in Oakwood. For nearly five innings, pitchers A.J. Benefield of Johnson and Turk Taylor of West Hall went back and forth, one-upping each other on an inning-by-inning basis. When the dust had settled, however, it was Benefield who shined brightest.
