1020branch4 — Flowery Branch’s Justin Curry gets the ball stripped away by Heritage High’s Dominique Packer during the first half of Friday’s Region 8-AAAAA game at The Branch.

FLOWERY BRANCH — Flowery Branch senior defensive back Quinton Mayfield was one of the players that insisted at halftime his team play better after a dreadful start Friday against Heritage. Then Mayfield did his part to make it happen in front of the home crowd at Falcon Field. He intercepted two passes in the third quarter that led directly to Falcons (6-2, 6-0 Region 8-AAAAA) touchdowns and a pivotal 35-27 come-from-behind win against the Patriots.
