Purple Hurricanes, Bulldogs crush opposition to advance in playoffs
It was a great night for Monroe's playoff teams. From the onset, there was never any doubt in either game as to who would win. The Monroe Area Purple Hurricanes advance to the State Semi-finals for Division AAAA with a resounding 47-8 win over the South Effingham Mustangs. The 'Canes showed Cat 5 strength early, scoring 31 of those points in the first half. Solid defense throughout the game kept Mustangs at bay, allowing only 8 points very late in the game. The George Walton Academy Bulldogs fared just as well tonight. They travelled to Marietta to face the Walker School Wolverines in Division A (Private) round 2 action. The Bulldogs took a commanding 30-0 lead into halftime, then tacked on another touchdown early in the 3rd quarter. The …

Grayson Rams finish the 2012 Season with a disappointing 28-10 loss to North Gwinnett.
Grayson finishes the season 10-2-0 with their stunning Friday night loss to North Gwinnett in the Class AAAAAA playoffs.

Team falls short of playoffs and season finale is rained out.
It was supposed to be a beautiful Labor Day at the ol' ball park. The game was switched from a night game to a day game. But mother nature had other plans. The Gwinnett Braves came into Monday's finale at home just one game out of the playoffs. And needing a Syracuse victory over Lehigh Valley to force a one-game playoff game with the Iron Pigs, Gwinnett had to wait almost two hours before finding out Lehigh had defeated Syracuse 4-1 in a rain shortened game knocking the Braves out of the playoffs. It wasn't official until the bottom of the first inning after Lehigh and Syracuse waited 45 minutes. Then the Braves had their own rain problems and after a 1-hour and 59-minutes delay, and the Braves trailing 2-1 got hit by another rain fall …
