ATLANTA - The determination never wavered throughout Flowery Branch's high-flying state quarterfinal game with No. 1 Tucker.
The Flowery Branch offense won't push the issue. If the defense takes away an offensive weapon, Falcons quarterback Kanler Coker will simply move on to the next.

THOMASTON - The Georgia High School Association reclassification committee needs to resolve an issue before it puts schools in classifications for the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 school years.
Heading into the 2011-2012 basketball season, questions are plentiful for area teams, and sure things seem to be few and far between.
JOHNS CREEK - The Flowery Branch Falcons have a play that they have practiced every week which they call "Big Ben." To others it's called a Hail Mary.
