This has already been a very good year for Flowery Branch senior Drew Garland. In the fall, he won the Region 8-AAAA cross country title and helped lead the Falcons cross country team to its first Class AAAA state championship. Last week, he won both the 1600-meter (4:31.66) and 3200-meter (9:51.95) at the region track and field meet in Loganville, becoming Flowery Branch track and field and cross country coach Jimmy Sorrells’ first region champion in all three distance runs.
