touchdowns, QB Dantra Clements, three touchdown passes. Kevin

Zackery had another touchdown reception and Mondez Godfrey

continued his dominance on the line. DeMarcus Barner and Scotty

Geter each had a fumble recovery for the Indians.

Notes: East Coweta showed other dimensions to their

game against Upson Lee. In the first three Indian victories, East

Coweta used the strength of their line to pound the ball up the

middle with their ground attack. This week,they tested the corners

and surprised Upson Lee by throwing the ball.Derek Canty is

week to week with a fractured wrist and Drew Harmon is

questionable for this week's game as well.

This Week: at Griffin

A week off for the Creek

Team Sandy Creek Patriots

Coach: Don Tyre

Record: 2-1

Last week: Did not play

Key Players: Key players for the Patriots this year have

been RB J.R. Lemon, QB Chris Sizemore and DB Austin Vann.

Notes: Coach Tyre returns to the sidelines this week as

the Patriots take on Forest Park. Forest Park is a talented team

that has a lot of speed and likes to spread out opponent's

defenses. Interim coach Doug Crane knows what to expect and has

been preparing the team for the game in Coach Tyre's absence.

This week: at Forest Park

Panthers get first ever varsity winning streak

Team: Starr's Mill Panthers

Coach: Mike Earwood

Record: 2-2

Last week: beat Eagle's Landing 35-21

Key Players: QB Brad McClaren, RB Craig Maddock,

Notes: The Panthers dominated the game from

early in the second quarter on. The offensive line

pushed Eagle's Landing off the ball well enough for

running backs Craig Maddock and LaDon Cooper to get at

least a few yards on every carry. QB Brad McClaren

showed great vision as he knew when to keep the ball and

run with it and when to dish it out to a receiver.

This week: at Jonesboro

Team: Landmark Christian War Eagles

Coach: Bill Thorn

Record: 2-2

Last week: beat Callaway 21-6

Key Players :Duran Rice, two touchdowns, one

as HB and one as QB, Marvin Jinks played well

defensively and scored a touchdown. James Barker

and Rasaan Davis played solid defense asd well.

Notes: The defense kept Landmark in the game.

They were ahead 14-0 when QB C.R.Palmer left the

game with a mild concussion. Callaway was ready to

pounce on the War Eagles misfortune and scored a

touchdown The defense then held Callaway scoreless,

including several drives that were stopped on Landmark's

goal line. The bye week should help the War Eagles

heal some of their bruises and sprains.

This week: Bye

Team: Northgate Vikings

Coach: Ron Beaucham

Record: 0-3

Last week: lost to Heard County 26-22

Key Players: RB Marlon Cruver ran the ball well

and WR Dominique Partridge made several big catches

for the Vikings. LB Kyle Stevens and freshmen DL

Ryan Gentry played solid sefensively.

turnovers. They fumbled six times and lost five of them. They

also threw an interception that was ran back for a

touchdown. Coach Beaucham said he was pleased with

the team's performance though and sees improvement

from them week to week. Despite the turnovers, the

young team never gave up and kept fighting, showing a

growth in the team's maturity level.
