Flowery Branch faced their first tough region foe in the Heritage Patriots on Friday night in Flowery Branch, but the Falcons needed help from some unexpected places to be able to overcome a team that scored 17 points off of Flowery Branch turnovers in the first half alone. In a defensive backfield that includes players such as NCAA Division-I prospects Darius Curry and Noel Padmore, it was senior Quinton Mayfield who shined for the Falcons on Friday. Mayfield recorded three interceptions for the Falcons against Heritage, two of which came in the third quarter, helping Flowery Branch erase a 21-point defecit after halftime and get the win.
