Bulldogs score 10 touchdowns in rout of Meadowcreek Mustangs on Friday night.
Updated 5:06 a.m., Sept. 24, 2011 The seventh-ranked North Gwinnett Bulldogs (4-1) dominated the Meadowcreek Mustangs (0-5) 71-6 Friday night in Suwanee. From the opening kickoff to the final touchdown with 14 seconds left, the Bulldogs controlled the game. North scored 10 touchdowns — one of which came on defense — and a safety, and took advantage of multiple Meadowcreek turnovers. The only chink in the Bulldogs' armor was their special teams. The Bulldogs had a PAT blocked and the Mustangs ran a kickoff return back 98 yards for a touchdown. The Mustangs had another kickoff return for a touchdown called back by a personal foul. The scoring started with Scotty Hosch throwing a touchdown to Joseph Jones on the opening drive. After that the …

We are thankful about two things concerning the weather. One, we received some much-needed rain Thursday and overnight — well more than an inch in many places. Two, it’s not going to rain on local high school football games tonight. Well, at least it shouldn’t. According to Weather.com, there will only be a 20-percent chance of precipitation for local games involving Norcross High (at Mill Creek, 8 p.m.), Meadowcreek High (at North Gwinnett, 7:30 p.m.) and Greater Atlanta Christian (at home vs. Blessed Trinity, 7:30 p.m.). Kickoff temperatures should be in the low-70s and fall into the low-60s by the end of the game. A light jacket or sweater should keep you comfy. Sounds like great conditions for football fans! Go prepared and enjoy the …

Norcross, Greater Atlanta Christian should keep things rolling.
Every week, I pick high-school football games that are played in Patch coverage areas from Stone Mountain to Cumming. Check out this week's predictions, then let us know how you think your team will fare in the comment box below ... if you dare. Last week's record: 20-5. Overall record: 77-20. Are you ready for another round of picks? Norcross at Mill Creek: This Friday TV game (8 p.m., GPB) set up as a potential battle between undefeated teams looking for supremacy at the top of the Region 7-AAAAA standings. Then, a funny little thing happen on the way — namely Mill Creek’s stunning 9-7 loss to Mountain View last week. The Hawks (3-1, 0-1) still have to be considered a playoff contender, but a loss to a team that went 2-8 last year makes …

Mustangs barely avoid a shutout by scoring with less than two minutes left in the game.
The Peachtree Ridge Lions nearly shut out the Meadowcreek Mustangs 55-6 Friday night at Meadowcreek. The first half of the game belonged to the Lions. They scored five touchdowns, two safeties and a field goal and ended the half ahead 41-0. The Lions were only able to score two more touchdowns in the second half against a better prepared Mustang defense. Meadowcreek’s offense never gave up, either. With less than 2 minutes remaining in the game they scored a touchdown of their own to prevent a shutout. Peachtree Ridge improved to 3-1 while Meadowcreek's record fell to 0-4.
Then come back to Norcross Patch for coverage of the Blue Devils and Mustangs.

There's plenty of local high school football action planned for tonight and if you're headed to any of the games, you might want to take a jacket or sweater — you might even want to wear it. According to Weather.com, the temperature at kickoff to tonight's games at Norcross (vs. Duluth) and Meadowcreek (vs. Peachtree Ridge) high schools will be in the mid-60s. By the time you get out of the stadium, the temperature is likely to be below 60. Although it's only a 10 percent chance, there also is a slight possiblity of a sprinkle of rain, so getting wet isn't out of the question either. Go prepared and enjoy the game! Check back with Norcross Patch later tonight for score updates from all over the area, and coverage of Norcross and …

Norcoss, GAC look like favorites; Meadowcreek may be overmatched.
I was leaving church Wednesday night when I heard the beautiful words: “Thank God for football season.” “Amen,” I thought, as I felt a comfortably cool breeze hit me under the striking golden hues of sunset. “That’s right,” I was still thinking. The summer heat has broken and become Chamber-of-Commerce quality. College and pro games have started, there’s a game on TV almost every night and our favorite sons are playing high-school ball every weekend in our neighborhood stadiums. I took a deep breath to take it all in. How great it is! “Football season is beautiful,” I said in agreement with my fellow church member. She rolled her eyes. The mother then rattled off what it’s like to have a young boy playing in a youth league in Gwinnett …

Norcross should win again, but can Meadowcreek break the streak?
I was humbled a bit last week in my predictions of high-school football games played in Patch coverage areas from Stone Mountain to Cumming. After a can-you-believe-it 21-3 record the first week, I cooled off to a 16-6 mark last week (38-9 overall). I only missed badly on one pick. Really. So, let's lace 'em up for another week. Are you ready? Roswell at Norcross: This is a matchup of teams heading in different directions. Roswell saw a two-touchdown lead over Collins Hills evaporate in its season-opener and hasn’t looked the same since. The Hornets (0-2) were beaten soundly 31-2 last week by Peachtree Ridge. Both of the Hornets' losses have been on their home field. Norcross (2-0) has been impressive in wins over Dacula and Parkview, and …
