Officials: Fire set at office was deliberate Blaze was started at rental company in national spotlight

BY CURT YEOMANS curt.yeomans@gwinnettdailypost.com

Gwinnett County fire investigators are asking the public for information about the identity of a person who started a fire at a local office for a nationwide house renting company that was recently the subject of an ABC News investigation.

Fire department officials released a surveillance video which shows a person throw an object through a window at Waypoint Homes’ office on the 4051 block of Stone Mountain Highway in unincorporated Lilburn early Monday morning. Moments after the person threw a rock through the window, he or she is seen lighting a Molotov cocktail and throwing it through the broken window.

The incident happened just before 7 a.m., and Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services Capt. Tommy Rutledge said an employee was working in the office area when the incident happened. The employee told investigators that they heard the glass break in a conference room.

“The employee hesitated at first and immediately thought that someone was attempting to break into the business,” Rutledge said. “After a few seconds, the employee went to the front and encountered smoke and flames coming from the conference room. The employee sprang into action and quickly doused the fire

told FOX 5 Atlanta.

The Gwinnett County Fire Department determined that the victim was deceased, and homicide investigators were dispatched.

“After arriving at the home, detectives secured a search warrant, and the Crime Scene Unit began processing the scene,” Pihera said.

“His key was actually in the door. He just didn’t turn it,” Jeremy Hoover, nephew of the victim told FOX 5.

Investigators have no motive for the crime, nor do they have a suspect description.

“He worked about 60 to 80 hours a week. Had his

own business. Just devastating to see someone do something like this to someone so genuine,” said Hoover.

Police said there is no significant dispatch history for the home within the past year. Family members remained on scene to meet with investigators.

“No suspects have been identified, and we are seeking tips in this case,” Pihera said.

Tia Young said her husband and father of three boys was shot in the head and chest, and she doesn’t have any idea why.

Gwinnett County fire investigators are asking for the public’s help in identifying three men who allegedly stole a pickup truck in unincorporated Loganville two months ago and later set it on fire.

Fire department Capt. Tommy Rutledge said the truck was stolen from the parking lot of Emba Transportation on the 2970 block of Rosebud Road at 5:57 p.m. Sept. 12.

The suspects set the truck on fire in a field a few yards away from the business after the vehicle got stuck in the mud.

Gwinnett County fire officials are not sure if the theft was a crime of opportunity or if the suspects had specifically targeted the truck’s owner.

“An exact motive in the case and the potential suspects remains largely unknown,” said Gwinnett Fire Captain Tommy Rutledge.

Investigators believe the three men were involved in the crime because a witness took a cellphone photo of

them on four-wheelers near the burning truck and smoke can be seen in the picture.

Rutledge said the men will likely face multiple charges.

Anyone who can identify the men, or has information on the fire, is asked to call fire investigators at 678-518-

4890 or the Georgia Arson Control Hotline at 1-800-2825804. There is a reward of up to $10,000 from Georgia Arson Control Inc. for anyone whose information leads to the arrest and conviction of whoever is responsible for the crime.

I-85 wreck From StaFF reportS Gwinnett County police say one person died in a wreck on I-85 Friday night.

According to authorities, the accident happened in the northbound lanes near Steve Reynolds Boulevard at around 11:30 p.m. The Department of Transportation website said one vehicle was involved.

Gwinnett Police Cpl. Benjamin Finney said one male was deceased, and one other person was transported to Gwinnett Medical Center in serious condition.

Several lanes of the interstate were blocked well into the morning while investigators worked the scene.

“The investigation into the cause of the accident and any contributing factors is ongoing,” Finney said.

The identities of those involved are being withheld pending notification of next of kin.

Gwinnett County police have filed charges against three people in connection to a robbery that happened earlier this month at a Georgia Own Credit Union in unincorporated Loganville.

Officers said Decatur resident Devon Morris, 17, Philadelphia resident Nilsa Urena, 25, and a 16-year-old juvenile are believed to have been involved in the robbery, which took place at about 10:30 a.m.

Nov. 3 at the credit union located at 2437 Loganville Highway.

Morris and Urena allegedly went into the bank to commit the robbery.

“They waited for an available teller and presented a note,” Cpl. Michele Pihera said in a statement. “The note demanded money and indicated that the female had a bomb.

The teller complied with the demands, and the suspects left the bank with the stolen cash.

“They got into a waiting SUV being driving by a third suspect (male). Following the robbery at this credit union, the lead detective believes that the suspects went to Douglas County and committed a similar robbery in their jurisdiction.”

The juvenile is believed to have served as the getaway driver.

Morris and Urena are each facing robbery charges. The juvenile was charged with robbery on a juvenile complaint form.

Morris and the juvenile were arrested in Douglas County and are being held there.

Police are still searching for Urena though.

Once the charges they face in Douglas County are resolved, Morris and the juvenile will be transferred to the Gwinnett County Jail.

Meanwhile, police are asking for the public’s help in finding Urena. Anyone who has information about her whereabouts is asked to call detectives at 770-513-5300.

They can also anonymously provide a tip through Crime Stoppers by calling 404577-8477 or visiting www.crimestoppersatlanta.org.

Crime Stoppers offers a reward of up to $2,000 for information that leads to an arrest and indictment in cases. Anyone who contacts detectives or Crime Stoppers is asked to reference Case Number 17102729.

4A • SundAy, november 19, 2017 To Your Good Health

Keith Roach

Not a health solution, just for aesthetics Dear Dr. roaCH: I would like to know your opinion regarding “cool sculpting.” Does it really work? Are there any bad consequences that a person should know about it? Is it advisable for a person in her 80s who is in good health and is not overweight but is beginning to add fat around her middle?

— L.S. aNsWer: CoolSculpting is a branded medical device that uses cold temperatures and vacuum to cause the death of fat cells. Over months, this can create a reduction in discrete areas of subcutaneous fat. This process, cryoablation, is related to liposuction. It is designed to remove fat and improve body appearance. It is not effective at removing large amounts of fat for overall health. A 2013 study found the procedure to be safe and well-tolerated, with an overall 73 percent patient satisfaction rate.

The negative effects seem minimal, with a few people getting additional fat growth in the treated areas, and others developing nodules under the skin. Redness, bruising and numbness are common and temporary.

By contrast, the amount of fat removed by traditional liposuction is greater than that removed by cryoablation, so the optimal procedure depends on the individual’s goals.

A person in her 80s certainly can be interested in her appearance, and cryoablation offers an alternative for an aesthetic procedure. However, I don’t advise it as a means of improving health, only for improving appearance.

Dear Dr. roaCH: I just had my yearly physical exam and am concerned about my kidney test results.

Last October, my GFR was 38; in February, 43. My most recent is 39. I have seen a kidney specialist and a kidney nutritionist, and thought I was eating correctly. I am mystified as to why my GFR went down. I drink 2 liters of water per day and rarely any other liquids, other than a glass of wine or two a month.

I am eating vegan (no meat, fish, fowl or dairy) about 98 percent of the time. I do consume vegan cheese and mayo on my daily large salad.

I also eat lots of tofu and fruit. I eat no beans (except soybeans), nuts or seeds, as recommended by my kidney specialist. I was a vegetarian for 28 years before becoming nearly vegan last year. I eat two eggs once every week or two. What else can you suggest I do to change my diet so that my GFR improves? At this time, I don’t plan on doing dialysis or a transplant, so when my kidneys are done, so am I. I am currently 75 years young.

— L.G. aNsWer: While I can understand that you see a drop from February until now, your GFR (glomerular filtration rate, the basic number for kidney function) is actually improved from last year. These numbers often bounce up and down a little bit, depending on fluid status at the time you took the test (including whether you were fasting).

As far as diet, changing animal protein to plant protein does seem to slow the loss of kidney function (some loss is inevitable with age). Two liters of water is sufficient for all but the most active adults.

world&nation World Jailed Venezuelan opposition leader flees to Spain The former mayor of Caracas — who is a staunch opponent of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro — was welcomed Saturday in Madrid after escaping house arrest.

“I have the support from the Spanish government to remain in Spain as long as necessary, as well as my family who are accompanying me here, my wife Mitzy, and my daughters, who are here at my side,” Antonio Ledezma said.

Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy received Ledezma, a longtime Venezuelan opposition lawmaker, and his wife, Mitzy Capriles, on Saturday at Moncloa Palace.

Ledezma, 62, was elected mayor of Caracas in 2008. He was arrested in February 2015, after Maduro accused him of involvement in a plot to overthrow the government.

He was later released from jail and put under house arrest for health reasons.

Speaking to journalists after his meeting with Rajoy, Ledezma vowed to continue fighting the Venezuelan President.

“Maduro is not simply a president. Maduro is a tyrant that controls by force the country’s institutions and seeks to subdue people like me,” Ledezma said, adding that Maduro was carrying out a “political witch hunt” against him and other opposition leaders who have become political prisoners.

Lebanese PM returning to Beirut despite his resignation Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri announced Saturday that he will return to Beirut despite his resignation two weeks ago.

“I’ll be in Beirut in the next few days to participate in the Independence Day celebrations,” Hariri told reporters after meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Elysee Palace in Paris.

Hariri added that it would be there, in Beirut, that he’ll speak about the country’s current political situation. He also mentioned he would be speaking to the country’s President, Michel Aoun.

Macron welcomed Hariri and his family at the Elysee Palace on Saturday, where he hosted a lunch.

French officials said they hope the visit will help end the political crisis by showing Hariri is free to travel.

Hariri and his wife arrived in France on Saturday, two weeks after his shocking resignation sparked speculation that he was being held hostage in Saudi Arabia.

Hariri announced his resignation in a televised address from the Saudi capital, Riyadh, this month, saying his life was in danger. Lebanon said it could not accept his resignation until he returned to the country.

Trump assault accusations seeing light Aides try to keep president out of national conversation

By Dan Merica CNN

As a swirl of sexual impropriety allegations roil Washington, President Donald Trump’s top aides are trying to inoculate him from comparisons with the stories of more than a dozen women who have accused Trump of sexual misconduct.

But the allegations against Minnesota Democratic Sen. Al Franken, who apologized after a California radio host and model said he had groped and kissed her without consent in 2006, and Roy Moore, the Republican Senate candidate in Alabama who has been accused by multiple women of pursuing sexual relationships with them as teenagers when he was in his early 30s, have dredged up the allegations last year made against Trump, including the 2005 Access Hollywood tape in which Trump brags about sexually assaulting women.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said Friday that there are no similarities between the Trump and Franken accusations.

Her reason: Trump never

Nation Murkowski may not save taxes like health care When Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski helped defeat her own party’s bill to repeal Obamacare earlier this year, she said she was applauded upon her arrival at airports across her home state of Alaska.

Now that Republicans have added a plan to roll back a significant part of Obamacare to their tax bill, attention has once again shifted to the three-term senator. Republicans can once again only lose three senators or their efforts will fail, but GOP leaders are optimistic that Murkowski will side with her party this time.

That’s because the tax plan, due to arcane Senate rules, will be combined with a bill that would open up Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, or ANWR, to oil and gas drilling.

Drilling in ANWR is an issue that’s long been near to Murkowski, in part because her father, Frank Murkowski, a former Republican senator and governor, also advocated for drilling but was unsuccessful.

The Puerto Rican migration could shape Florida politics for years In the wish lists of Democratic strategists, one imagines the arrival of tens of thousands of Democraticleaning voters to Florida, seemingly overnight, ranks pretty high.

Tesla’s $200,000 Roadster will need more than only speed

By Peter Valdes-Dapena CNN

Tesla’s new Roadster has some impressive numbers. But with a price on par with a Bentley or Aston Martin, the question is, can it deliver on the kind of luxury and drivability those buyers expect?

That’s going to take a lot more than just sternum-cracking acceleration.

Prices for the Roadster will start at $200,000, with a required de-

Lotus is legendary for how well its cars handled, and for an obsession with light weight, which also helps with cornering and control. For a company building a high-end sports car, there could hardly be a better place to start.

This Roadster will presumably be all Tesla.

Group seeking donations to help rebuild Puerto Rico

A group of local residents are working to pool resources in Georgia that can be used to help the people of Puerto Rico recover from the devastation wrought by Hurricane Maria.

The newly formed Norcross-based 501(c) (3) nonprofit, Contigo Puerto Rico Inc. was created by people who are of Puerto Rican descent and partners. The idea behind the organization is to step in with a logistics plan and provide assistance to people on the island who have been struggling since the hurricane hit

respectively.

“Suicide deaths in Georgia has reached an all-time high from what we’ve been seeing,” Randle said of the five-year data.

Dozens of people attended the summit Friday night with Unterman and representatives of the GBI, the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Development Disabilities, the Division of Family and Children Services, NAMI Georgia, Mental Health America and Gwinnett County Public Schools addressing attendees about resources and procedures in place to prevent suicides.

“This is the beginning of the end of the stigmatization of suicide,” Unterman said. “We can save life, by life, by life. What better life to save than a child’s life? It affects every single Georgian, all 10 million of us.”

The topic of suicide is a personal one for Unterman, who lost her son in 2009.

She said it’s a difficult topic to talk about, but also one that helps shape how she approaches her job as a state legislator.

In addition to helping address youth suicide, Unterman has also tackled several other issues involving children in recent years, including child exploitation and the opioid crisis.

“It’s gratifying to know you have a platform that you can take it to the rest of the state and affect 10 million people, but the bottom line is saving one life,” she said. “It we didn’t do anything else — it’s the same thing with the heroin epidemic and any of those social problems that we have, the goal is we can’t change the world, but we can save one life.”

The statistics from the GBI’s Child Fatality Review Unit show white males make up the largest group of youth suicides this year, with 16 in all.

They are followed by white females(10), black males (six), Hispanic males (three), black females (two) and Asian females (one).

Several officials said that although people often try to point a finger at different items accessible by children, such as social media or the Netflix series “13 Reasons Why,” to blame them for youth, there’s no blanket cause for the deaths.

“A lot of times with an issue such as this, we struggle to try and find the cause,” DFCS Deputy Division Director Jeff Lukich said. “I know I hear, and I’ve even thought about this ‘Is it social media? Is it video games? Is it TV? Movies?’ I think it’s a combination of a lot of things.”

issue.

Gwinnett County Public Schools Executive Director of Academic Support Eric Thigpen said the district’s School Resource Officers try to look out for issues that may be affecting students. He also said the school system has mentoring programs in place, and it plans to launch a mentoring program specifically for female students in January.

Unterman said she is working with Gov. Nathan Deal to get additional funding put into the state budget for addressing suicide prevention targeted at newborns to 4-year olds. Although that might seem like a young age for suicide, Unterman said it’s an effort to get children treatment before they enter at-risk age groups.

“The governor has a children’s cabinet, and I think one of their recommendations is early diagnosis of mental illness because when you’re sitting here talking about 7-year-olds that commit suicide, you’ve got to start at a much earlier age, Unterman said.

“You’ve got to diagnose them between those ages of zero and 4 and deliver therapeutic services those wrap around services that all of these people are talking about to try and prevent the 7- and 8- or 9-year-old fatalities. And the way you do it is by involvement early. I think that’s going to be our biggest initiative in the session is putting that additional money into the budget.”

different municipalities in Puerto Rico.”

Contigo Puerto Rico officially launched Tuesday and its logistics director, Raul Thomas, made a trip to Puerto Rico the following day. Although there have been other groups on the ground on the island to provide assistance, Contigo Puerto Rico officials said there are several areas where people are waiting for assistance.

“It’s not enough, the help is not getting there, many families are suffering,” Thomas said in a statement.

The organization will participate in the annual Festival Peachtree Latino from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. today at Piedmont

Park as one of its first efforts to raise money for assistance efforts. It said it will hold another fundraising event Dec. 16 at Marietta Theater in the Square.

Right now, the money being collected will be used to cover the cost of transporting supplies to Puerto Rico.

“Contigo Puerto Rico has a logistic plan of transportation and delivery to ensure that the supplies will reach to the areas in most need as quickly as possible,” the group said in a statement.

Anyone who is interested in making a donation but cannot attend either event can make one at contigopr.org.

The young business partners both plan to pursue computer science degrees in college.

Mehdi is hoping to attend Georgia Tech while Ravenell would like to venture out of state.

In the meantime, the duo will continue to improve the app and intern at NCR while also leading a volunteer afterschool program at Northbrook Middle School, called Girls that Code, to teach sixth- through eighth-grade girls how to solve problems by creating computer programs.

Adding yet another accomplishment to their resumes, the girls proposed and were accepted to host the first Gwinnett County Hackathon at their school on Nov. 11. The daylong event brought students together to form teams around an idea and collaboratively code a solution to a presented problem — often taking the form of mobile apps, websites and robots.

Although Mehdi and Ravenell are hopeful they will win at the local science fair and go on to the state competition in Athens, they are still happy with their successes thus far.

Son also acknowledges that they have accomplished a great deal in the Peachtree Ridge cluster and, regardless of the outcome at the science fair, Mehdi and Ravenell have bright futures ahead of them. “(The students’ success) cannot be measured by this one competition but should be measured by the impact they have made already and will continue to make within our cluster.”

Gwinnett celebrates America Recycles Day at Coolray Field

By NaNci alleN Staff Correspondent

LawrenceviLLe — Gwinnett clean & Beautiful, partnering with Gwinnett county Solid waste and recovered Materials Division, hosted the annual america recycles Day on Saturday at coolray Field.

Mike romesburg of Lawrenceville was first in line with his gray Honda loaded with documents for shredding.

“My wife got the flyer at one of the fall festivals and brought it home,” romesburg said, “So i might as well take advantage and get rid of the old records we have.” romesburg was not the only one with the idea.

Before the event began at 9 a.m., cars waiting to unload their unwanted recyclables lined the parking lot all the way out to Ga. Highway 20.

Once the event began, the cars moved very quickly because of a change

made from last year’s event. instead of two lanes to unload, this year there were four lanes, which significantly shortened the wait for participants.

Silviu Gavriliuc, Gwinnett county Solid waste Section Manager, said the goal of the event is to reduce, reuse and recycle as much as possible, as well as to educate the public on the value of doing so. in addition to collecting paper, electronics, tires, paint, textiles and ink cartridges, a variety of exhibitors were set up to educate and entertain the visitors.

Sam Sullivan, Gwinnett county Fire educator, hoped to teach folks the importance of carbon monoxide and smoke detectors as well as caution them about the dangers during the holidays, such as frying turkeys.

Gwinnett county water resources Outreach Manager, John Butler, demonstrated how to make

a paperclip float in water, how water drops react on pennies and how many pennies it takes to overflow a cup of water during his H2Olympics that educates grownups and kids about the value of conserving water.

“There is never any new water created,” Butler said, “Much of our water is just trapped in other areas of the earth.” visitors enjoyed the exhibits and the free hot dogs, chips and water served out of a republic Services dumpster masquerading as a concession stand.

Other exhibitors included the five local haulers that do business with Gwinnett county: republic Services, Sanitation Solutions, Southern Sanitation, waste Pro and advanced Disposal.

The five haulers each had their trucks available to demonstrate how they operated and allowed the children to touch them and

look inside.

Melanie Miller, resource and Marketing coordinator with the Gwinnett county Fiscal and Solid waste Management Division, was instrumental in getting the volunteers to help at the event.

Miller said they had at least 100 volunteers this year. The volunteers signed up at volunteergwinnett.net. “we have school groups, church groups and individuals,” Miller said.

The volunteers help to unload vehicles and organize the items for recycle. according to Miller, the paper shredding is the most popular area followed by the electronics recycling. recycling events are held twice per year. The next one will be around earth Day events in april.

Local colleges partner to host Trauma Day for medical students

From StaFF reportS

Respect was the outcome of Trauma Day held at Georgia Gwinnett College in Lawrenceville recently when EMT, nursing and medical students from three different colleges in Gwinnett joined forces to hone their skills in a chaotic environment.

“The main premise was to bring these disciplines together so that we could communicate among each other effectively for the best patient outcomes,” said Dr. Sharon Grason, the director of nursing at Georgia Gwinnett College.

Jeff Adams, the director of simulation for Georgia Campus — Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (GA-PCOM), said: “Our biomedical sciences students built a total of 10 different cases that were reviewed by our

faculty members to ensure they were clinically sound.

Each of the students had a goal to reach.”

“Collaboration and communication were our two objectives that we worked

to meet,” Grason said, allowing the students to experience what it is like to work across disciplines.

EMT students from Gwinnett Technical College transported patient

actors and even high fidelity mannequins to the GGC Simulation Center to be cared for by the nursing students from GGC and student doctors from GAPCOM. Cases included

patients experiencing a motor vehicle accident while pregnant, multiple stab wounds, a stroke, a gunshot wound, mental health issues and even human trafficking.

Biomedical sciences student Moriah Newman who will earn a master’s

degree this spring with a concentration in medical simulation from GAPCOM, said, “Today has been very interesting and quite educational for the student doctors, nurses and EMS trainees. We set it up so all three disciplines can get the full ER effect.”

Gwinnett Medical preparing for opening of holding unit

By Curt yeomanS

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Gwinnett Medical Center officials are preparing to open a new behavioral health holding unit that they believe will help address a gap in resources on a local level.

The hospital announced the upcoming opening of the new 5,000-square-foot, $2.9 million unit this past week. Officials said it will give patients a place to stay until they can be transferred to a treatment facility. It can serve eight medically-cleared patients at a time, and hospital officials said they will be monitored 24 hours a day via audio and video equipment.

The unit is expected to open within the next few weeks.

“One of GMC’s key focus area is patient experience, and this unit supports that approach,” the hospital said in a statement. “Through the new holding unit, GMC can provide patients with the care they need. While inpatient behavioral health treatment will not occur at GMC, patients will be safely cared for in a respectful manner.”

The hospital said that while Georgia has been shifting toward providing behavioral health services at a regional or community level, medical centers such as itself have been stepping into a role as an intermediary.

In their announcement for the new unit, Gwinnett Medical officials cited a Modern Healthcare article which said about 75 percent of emergency physicians said in a poll

that they saw at least one patient per shift who needed to be hospitalized for psychiatric treatment.

Hospital officials also cited another figure from that article, which said 21 percent of those physicians reported patients having to wait two to five days to be placed in an inpatient bed.

Gwinnett Medical of-

ficials said the goal with their unit is to eventually help get patients connected with resources in the community that can provide assistance. The unit was designed to meet Joint Commission/CMS safety standards. That includes using Lexan windows, enclosed window treatments and television monitors and anti-ligature devices.

This week gardening columnist Tim Daly answers questions from readers: The Extension office has received inquiries from residents who have visited the Georgia coast and seen the type of plants that grow there.

Question: Recently I was vacationing on Tybee Island near Savannah, where I observed many shrubs growing along the causeway with white, pink and red flowers. What type of plants are these and can they be grown locally?

— Ted in Suwanee Answer: Ted, the shrubs are oleanders, which are commonly planted along the coast and in South Georgia. They can grow up to 12 feet in height and produce attractive flowers of many colors throughout the growing season. The plants are known for their toxicity if consumed. Oleanders are adapted to USDA hardiness zone 8, and Gwinnett is in zone 7b. They can be grown in our area. However, they will suffer and even die in severe freezes such as the ones we had back in 2014.

If you plant oleanders, they will need to be covered with plastic, blankets or other similar material if the temperatures are forecasted to drop below 20 degrees.

Legislation filed to open door for removing monuments

By Curt yeomans

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Democrats in Georgia’s House of Representatives and Senate pre-filed legislation Wednesday to make it possible to remove Confederate monuments from places such as Stone Mountain.

State Rep. Mary Margaret

Oliver, D-Decatur, pre-filed house Bill 650 while state Sen. Elena Parent, D-Atlanta, pre-filed Senate Bill 302.

State law prohibits the defacing, removal or concealing of monuments to the Confederate States of America, including the carving on Stone Mountain.

If either bill passes, local governments or the “public

entity” that owns monuments at Stone Mountain and other places around the state would have the authority to remove those monuments.

“Citizens in the city of Decatur and DeKalb County have voiced their opinions and asked me to introduce legislation to allow local governments to decide to remove or modify monuments that

are located in public spaces,” Oliver said in a statement.

“This legislation would simply return this decision making authority to Georgia’s cities and counties and provide more local control.”

The debate over removing monuments to the Confederacy has been a recurring hot button topic in recent years in light of racially charged inci-

dents such as a 2015 shooting at a black church in Charleston or the clashes between protesters at a monument in Charlottesville, Va., earlier this year.

Officials in Decatur have been looking at removing a monument in that city, but a bigger debate has centered around Stone Mountain and the carving of Robert E. Lee,

Stonewall Jackson and Confederate States of America President Jefferson Davis.

Two years ago, a local artist made headline for a tonguein-cheek suggestion to add OutKast to the carving, but the debate took a more political turn earlier this year when two candidates for governor took different, and public, stances on the issue.

Former state House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams, one of two leading candidates for the Democratic Party’s nomination in neat year’s gubernatorial election, said the carving should be removed in a series of posts on Twitter.

“The visible image of Stone Mountain’s edifice remains a blight on our state,” Abrams said in one tweet.

That prompted a backlash from Cumming-based state Sen. Michael Williams, one of several Republicans seeking that party’s nomination for governor, who called Abrams’ statements “nonsense.”

“I want to know where Stacey draws the line,” Williams said in a statement at the time.

“Will she demand we blow up the Jefferson Memorial and knock down the Washington Monument? Let me make myself clear: I do not support defacing Stone Mountain or any of our monuments, and I do not support rewriting Georgia’s history.”

Ga. Power: Some bills may be incorrect

By Curt yeomans

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Thousands of Georgia Power customers in Peachtree Corners are getting unexpected news — either good or bad — from the power company in their mail boxes.

The company recently discovered during a franchise fees audit that thousands of customers who live in the city were not coded correctly in data records used to determine who pays the fees. As a result, Georgia Power spokesman John Kraft said, some customers were not billed enough while others were billed too much.

That means some customers will be asked to pay unpaid franchise fees accumulated over the last three years while other customers could be getting a credit because they were billed too much in fees.

“We have found that this situation is not uncommon with newly formed cities as data is confirmed and city operations are refined,” Kraft said. “We will continue to work closely with Peachtree Corners to ensure franchise fees are correctly collected.”

Franchise fees are payments that must be made to municipalities where Georgia Power has electric facilities.

They are part of franchise agreements that the company reaches with those municipalities to install and maintain those facilities. Georgia Power uses data provided by the city to determine the fees.

The company is sending letters to Peachtree Corners customers to let them know about the charges, so it won’t be a shock when it shows up on bills. Some customers who were under-billed could be asked to pay more than $100 while others may be asked to pay smaller amounts.

The back fees will be charged to customers in one lump sum, but Kraft said Georgia Power is willing to be flexible in how the money is paid.

“We appreciate that this is an unexpected expense for our customers, and we will work with any customer on payment arrangements related to these franchise fees,” he said.

Any customer in Peachtree Corners who has questions about the charges, or credits, is encouraged to call 800-6440570 for additional information.

A moving experience SAN FRANCISCO — Evidence that when Democrats rule taxes are never high enough can be found at any gas station in this once politically competitive state. Last month, the California gas tax was raised 12 cents a gallon. Regular gas at some stations is again approaching, and in some cities exceeding, $4 a gallon, a level not seen since natural disasters temporarily curtailed refinery Cal production, and Gulf Thomas States manipulated prices.

Republicans plan to put the gas tax issue on the 2018 ballot hoping voters will roll back the increases.

Some are not waiting for the next election but are voting with their feet. One couple I know recently moved from San Diego to Arizona solely because of high taxes on their income and regulations on their small business. They are not alone.

Coupled with the increasing cost of living in big cities, California, once a magnet for new arrivals, has now reversed polarity. Taxes are only part of the reason for the exodus. According to Chief Executive Magazine’s annual survey of the best and worst states for business, California has been ranked last six years in a row. Texas, by contrast, has ranked first.

Add to this the recurring earth tremors, even earthquakes — there was another Monday in Monterey County that registered 4.7 — and expectations of a “big one,” which continues to be talked about in scientific circles. Floods and forest fires destroy homes and lives. One-party rule also serves as an irritant for many of a different political persuasion.

Gov. Jerry Brown recently signed legislation declaring California a “sanctuary state” for illegal immigrants. The law forbids state and local police from providing any information to the federal government about illegal aliens that isn’t already publicly available.

Then there is the annoying traffic.

USA Today recently declared Los Angeles as having the worst traffic, not just in the country, but the world. San Francisco is not far behind.

The state legislature is flirting with a single-payer health insurance system, similar to Canada’s. But with many Canadians coming to the U.S. for serious medical treatment, why would legislators want to replicate their less than ideal health care system? It again raises a question I have asked many times before and have yet to get a satisfactory answer: Why do so many turn to government as a first resource when government has proved its inability to achieve so many things competently and cost efficiently?

In this city by the bay, housing prices are so ridiculous The Guardian newspaper found a high-tech employee paying $1,400 a month to live in a “private room,” which resembles a closet. “One Apple employee,” it said, “was recently living in a Santa Cruz garage, using a compost bucket as a toilet. Another tech worker, enrolled in a coding boot camp, described how he lived with 12 other engineers in a two-bedroom apartment rented via Airbnb. ‘It was $1,100 for a … bunk bed and five people in the same room.’”

Salaries in Silicon Valley are high compared to other parts of the country, but the inflated housing costs dilute whatever buying power someone with that level of income would enjoy in most other states.

California is still a mostly beautiful state, especially along the coast, but its beauty is more superficial than substantive. According to the Orange County Register, “In 2016, some 26,000 more people left the Bay Area than arrived.

San Francisco net migration went from a high of 16,000 positive in 2013 to 12,000 negative three years later.

“Similar patterns have occurred across the state. Between 2010 and 2015, California had cut its average annual migration losses annually from 160,000 to 50,000, but that number surged last year to nearly 110,000. Losses in the Los Angeles-Orange County area have gone from 42,000 in 2011 to 88,000 this year.

San Diego, where domestic migration turned positive in 2011 and 2012, is now losing around 8,000 net migrants annually.”

Given the policies of state government, don’t look for those numbers to improve.

My vital signs remain vital, and my hemoglobin remains hemoglobical. But, there is a cloud. While I may have thwarted a dread disease, I have now discovered that I am a (deep breath) cisgender.

Why me? Why now? Where was a cisgenderologist when I needed one? Even worse, no one told me. I had to find out the hard way.

I am honored to share some editorial pages with Jonah Goldberg, a nationally syndicated conservative commentator. How happy he is to share an editorial page with me is another matter. He writes for a conservative publication, the National Review, as well as the Los Angeles Times and strikes me as a guy who is more in the middle of the political stream than hard-right wingnuts would prefer.

To wit, he recently wrote a pox-on-both-your-houses column in which he rips on both the Republican Party and the Democrats. He says the GOP is running as smoothly as a “dry Slip ‘N Slide made from sandpaper” and the Democrats “have gotten drunk on the spectacle. And as with many a drunk, it’s grown

Dick Yarbrough oblivious to its own decrepitude” and their capture by “the angry, sanctimony-besotted identity politics popular on college campuses and a handful of left-wing websites.” The man can turn a phrase.

Like Mr. Goldberg, I think the Democratic Party currently has more nuts than an oak forest and that Republicans won’t rest until they destroy public education. (My own pox-onboth-their-houses contribution.)

I was chuckling all the way down the column until he cites the Democratic National Committee’s data services manager, who sent out an email soliciting candidates for a job in the DNC’s information technology department but cautioned that she wasn’t interested in any “cisgender straight white males.” Hmm. I have a good idea of what a straight white male is. I see one every night in the mirror when I brush my teeth. But cisgender?

Of course, my first call was to Barney Funk and Porter

Wagnalls, the learned lexicographers who are known for their innate ability to analyze the semantic, syntagmatic and paradigmatic relationships within the lexicon of a language when they’re not flipping burgers at their local McDonald’s.

They told me a cisgender is a person whose gender identity corresponds with that person’s biological sex assigned at birth. I wanted to follow up with them but they said the mechanical apparatus in which they frizzle edible tubers at McDonalds was fragmented, and they were up to their nates in apex predators. I think what they were saying is that their French fry machine wasn’t working, and they were up to their you-know-whats in alligators. Never push lexicographers when their French fry apparatus won’t frizzle.

I guess being cisgenderated means I must take a pass on the opportunity to become a part of the IT team at the DNC. The fact that I don’t know the difference between a megabyte and a mosquito bite would likely disqualify me, not to mention showing up in my “Cisgender Lives Matter” T-Shirt.

But I can’t help but think about some Democratic stalwarts like former Gov. Roy Barnes. Sure, today he is one of the most widely-respected and capable lawyers in Geor-

gia, but what if we suddenly quit suing each other? Gov. Barnes might have no choice but to apply for the DNC’s IT department. (“Sorry sir, but you are a cisgender white male.” “But I was Governor of Georgia!” “Good for you but no cigar. Wilbur Sue, would you get me a Kleenex? I shook a cisgender’s hand.”)

And then there is former U.S. Sen. Sam Nunn (cisgender white male), former U.S. Congressman Buddy Darden (ditto), former Gov. Joe Frank Harris (ditto, ditto), former state House majority leader Larry Walker, the sage of Perry, Georgia (ditto times three).

Along with Gov. Barnes, all have served the Democratic party with distinction and yet none of them could get a job today in the DNC’s Information Technology department.

Life can be so unfair.

In the meantime, let me thank you for continuing to check on me and my hemoglobics. I hope learning of my cisgenderation has not caused you disappointment. And, please, let’s not share this information with the Woman Who Shares My Name. She is just looking for an excuse to feed me broccoli.

Vintage TV perfect for a ‘sick’ day For 39 years I taught school and seldom wasted a sick day being sick. If I were going to be out — which I wasn’t very often — I wanted it to be for a “personal” day, which meant I was free to go out of town or, at the very least, allow myself to be seen around town without feeling guilty because I was playing hooky.

Honesty compels me to admit that once or twice something would come up at the last minute and I would be forced to call in for what we in the profession called a “mental health” day — again, to assuage our guilt at being out when we weren’t clingingto-the-commode, tethered-tothe-toilet — burning-up-withfever sick.

I will never forget the first such day I took. I was a brand new teacher, at Cousins Middle School, in my home county of Newton. The night before the Georgia-Florida football game, I got a call from a buddy offering tickets to the game, complete with transportation and lodging.

As a starving new teacher, it was an offer I couldn’t resist. I called my principal and used the hoarse croaking voice to explain that I wouldn’t be able to make it in on Friday.

At 6 the next morning my condition had improved remarkably and by 6:30 my buddy and I were on I-75, headed south. Around 10:30 we made a pit-stop at the Florida welcome center, where I soon found myself standing nervously at a

When you work from home and often babysit your adorable 3-year old grandchild, there is even less free time.

But for one glorious day last week, I found myself home alone and reasonably caught up on my business affairs. Sir Henley was at school for the Darrell Huckaby day and my lovely wife, Lisa, was somewhere in Appalachia urinal right beside Newton in the coal mining region of County School Superintendent Kentucky, teaching will-be Whitlow Richardson. His game midwives all she knows about tickets were in his front shirt birthing babies. It was too cold pocket. and wet to play golf and I didn’t He looked over at me and feel like reading. Although I said, “Huck, are you sick, too?” felt great, I pretended that I was They don’t make educators under the weather, made a bowl like Whit Richardson any more. of lime Jello, and snuggled up Now I told you all of that to on the couch and turned on the tell you this. television.

Many of the my mama had so painstakingly shows still come on, along with sewn by hand, eat lime Jello, some newer ones. Plus, through and watch television.

commit. I love “Matlock” and watched one in which Conrad was Ben’s sidekick and another one in which Don Knotts actually made an appearance.

After that, for old time’s sake, I watched the episode of “The Waltons” where Grandpa didn’t want to go to his Spanish American War reunion because he really hadn’t been with Teddy Roosevelt at San Juan Hill and a “Little House on the Prairie” episode where Halfpint pushed Nelly Oleson down in the mud.

By now it was time for Henley’s 1 o’clock nap and since he wasn’t with me, I took his nap for him.

I woke up at 3 — just in time for a couple of episodes of “The Rifleman.” Lucas McCain just never seems to age, does he.

I learned a couple of things by becoming King Couch Potato for a day. For one, old time television is of a much higher quality than the shows they make these days. From surfing channels, I learned that you can watch “Law and Order” 24 hours a day if you are of a mind.

And lastly, total oblivion can be very good for the soul.

I can’t wait for the next sick day. Since the last one was in 2013, I figure the next one will be somewhere around 2022.

I bet “Law and Order” is still showing 24/7 and that Nelly Oleson is still a little witch.

Cunningham and Alexander both leapt and snagged a piece of the ball, but it was the North receiver who was able to yank it away from the

Tigers take advantage of turnovers

Archer ousts Mill Creek, sets school record with 12th win

LAWRENCEVILLE — Among the post-game celebration Friday night, Jordan Roman wore the Archer football team’s turnover chain proudly around his neck.

The new trinket, introduced this week, came into play twice in the fourth quarter against Mill Creek when the Tigers’ defense needed game-saving plays. The late turnovers, both when the Hawks had driven into the red zone,

rescued the hosts from a possible major upset.

Second-ranked and unbeaten Archer held on for a 16-10 victory over unranked Mill Creek in the Class AAAAAAA secondround game, advancing to

host Colquitt County in next Friday’s quarterfinals.

The victory was a schoolrecord 12th for the Tigers, who had hit the 11-win mark three times previously.

“It was a war,” Archer head coach Andy Dyer said. “We knew it would be. I knew it would come down to the last series, that was my gut. They’re so dang well-coached and their kids play so hard, I knew we were in for a war.

I’m just so proud of our kids. They had their backs

Panthers bury Bears with 2nd-half surge

By Taylor Denman

PARKVIEW 48, MOUNTAIN VIEW 13

taylor.denman@gwinnettdailypost.com

LILBURN — Parkview entered the second half of its Class AAAAAAA state playoff game against Mountain View up one possession, but head coach Eric Godfree’s squad was set to take the second-half kickoff.

Parkview turned it into a 48-13 rout from there, outscoring Mountain View 34-6 in the game’s final two quarters to end the Bears’ longest playoff run in program history. The Panthers advance to play at McEachern, fresh off a shocking win over No. 1-ranked Lowndes in the second round, in next Friday’s quarterfinals.

“We felt good about our first half, but we can’t turn the ball over,” Godfree said. “We felt like our best could beat their best, and we showed that in the second half.”

Parkview (9-3) dominated Mountain View’s defense with a relentless rushing attack. The Panthers racked up more that 550 yards on the ground, led by running back Christian Malloy’s 296 yards on 20 carries and Tommy Rogers’ 82 yards on seven carries.

Mountain View (9-3) struggled to complete passes with consistency. Quarterback Matthew Edwards was 17-for-38 passing for 168 yards. Georgia Tech wide receiver commit Malachi Carter was held to a relatively quiet night of 59 yards on four catches. Carter was held to one catch for 12 yards in the first half.

“We worked hard in practice to shut down Carter,” Godfree said. “He’s special, he still had his catches, but we feel like we limited him for the most part.”

The Bears were also plagued

by penalties throughout the game, something Mountain View head coach Nick Bach said was a result of built up frustration as the game grew out of reach. The Bears had 18 penalties for 133 yards in the game.

Parkview’s first offensive drive was strong, capped off by a would-be 17-yard touchdown run from Rogers, but the Panthers’ back fumbled the ball in the end zone, resulting in a touchback for Mountain View.

“Sometimes our kids I think are more resilient than our coaches,” Godfree said. “They shook it off and went to the next play, and Tommy Rogers ended up having a great game.”

What would have been an early Parkview lead was a stalemate for the entire first quarter.

Parkview finally made up for its

lost TD when Malloy punched the ball in on the goal line for a 5-yard score.

While Mountain View’s offense was struggling to move the football, two-way Bear Blake Carroll helped his team out with a defensive touchdown late in the half. Carroll intercepted a pass from Parkview quarterback Fred Payton and returned it 15 yards to tie the game 7-7 with just more than three minutes left in the half. It was the second straight week Carroll returned an interception for a touchdown, and he also led the Bears’ rushing attack with 56 yards on seven carries.

The score seemed to put the Bears in a good position before kicking to the Panthers at halftime, but Payton scrambled for 61 yards, and Malloy scored his

second TD three plays later to give the Panthers a 14-7 lead at halftime.

“We had a lot of missed tackles,” Bach said. “Our guys got confused on some reads …

They’re a talented team. Give them all the credit in the world.

If we had a better day, we could have hung in there a little longer.”

Malloy carried his stellar start over to the second half with a 66-yard TD run on the second play of the third quarter. He added his fourth and final TD early in the fourth quarter on a 80-yard run that gave the Panthers a 42-13 lead with roughly 10 minutes to go.

“The offensive line’s blocking — I was hitting holes — it was great,” Malloy said.

Edwards and Carter started to connect in the second half, but

INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS RUSHING — Parkview: Christian Malloy 20-296 4 TD; Fred Payton 7-103; Tommy Rogers 7-82 1 TD; Cody Brown 7-50 1 TD; Ronnel Bragg 1-2; Demetrius West 3-17.

Mountain View: Blake Carroll 7-56; Troy Jackson 1-18; Enoch Walters 5-13; Matthew Edwards 3-1; Denver Venn 2-(minus 1).

PASSING — Mountain View: Edwards 1738-0, 168; Parkview: 11-20-1 97.

RECEIVING — Mountain View: Thomas Stewart 9-84; Malachi Carter 4-59 TD; Keelan Marion 3-18; Xyre Wilson 1-7; Parkview: William Marshall 7-46, Jamal Copeland 1-27; Tommy Rogers 1-7, Malloy 1-7; Shane Butler 1-10

the game was already getting out of reach. Carter scored the Bears’ only offensive TD on a 19-yard catch over two Parkview defenders, but that was the final whimper for the Bears in the game.

Parkview’s Cody Brown tacked on a late rushing TD on a night when he carried the ball seven times for 50 yards. Receiver Miles Marshall was Payton’s favorite target with seven catches for 46 yards.

Boglin leads No. 3 Spartans past rival Lovett

By Christine Troyke

NORCROSS — The chant rose up from Greater Atlanta Christian’s postgame huddle.

“AL-LEX. AL-LEX. AL-LEX.” Senior Alex Boglin grinned and shook his head.

When the Alex Spartans Boglin needed a way to shake loose of Lovett on Friday night, Boglin provided it.

He was a knife through butter on a pivotal thirdquarter touchdown run and helped lift No. 3 GAC past the feisty Lions 38-21 in

“Alex is just a physical, downhill runner,” head coach Tim Hardy said.

“It was that kind of night where you have to be di-

rect, lower your shoulders and get after it. That’s what Alex is. He’s a one-cut guy and it’s a great way to run.

“He’s an aggressive runner and it was that kind of game.”

Lovett pulled within 17-14 on a one-yard keeper from quarterback Blaine McAllister with 2:02 left in the third.

But a personal foul on the Lions during the kickoff gave GAC a short field.

Boglin carried the ball four times and went all 55 yards for an answer the Spartans had to have hardly a minute later. Boglin started the drive with a 33-yard burst and churned out another 18 yards on the next carry. He capped it with a 9-yard dash and pushed GAC’s lead to 2414 with 46 seconds left in

“I have to give it up to my O-line,” Boglin said.

“It’s 90 percent them.

They’re the best O-line in the state of Georgia, hands down, and I appreciate everything they do.

“And honestly, I just didn’t want my boys to go home. I didn’t want to go home. We just had to get it done. The O-line opened everything up for me.”

The Spartans (11-1) tightened their hold with a sack by senior Michael DeWeese on Lovett’s next drive and Boglin shut the door with his second of three touchdowns.

Boglin and Montae Bailey teamed up to grind away at the Lions. Bailey broke off runs of 15 and 17 yards to get into the red zone. Boglin finished

it with a stutter step and slice for the 11-yard score at 8:42 of the fourth for a 31-14 lead.

“This is a night to remember,” Boglin said.

“This is the fight we wanted all season and we love games like this, the grind and finding our way out of tough situations. It makes it so much more satisfying.”

When the Spartans needed to drain the final five minutes off the clock, they knew who to turn to.

Boglin accounted for 70 of the 80 yards in GAC’s last scoring drive and capped it with just 1:16 left.

“This was the first time we’ve been in a competitive ball game in over two months,” Hardy said. “First, hats off to Lovett and coach (Mike) Muschamp. The

kids are great competitors.

But over the course of time, our guys proved true.

“The physicality up front with the offensive linemen and our run game was awesome. To see senior Alex Boglin close that thing out, own the fourth quarter, behind those guys was great.”

The win propels the Spartans into the quarterfinals, where they’ll have to travel to Savannah to play Jenkins.

“Guys grinding away and that’s what the playoffs are,” Hardy said. “Every yard gets harder. We can talk about those things, but actually doing those things is a whole other deal. I was excited and proud of our guys.

“The offensive line proved true.”

HOME COOKIN’

No. 7 Georgia bounces back to thump Kentucky

By Anthony Dasher The Sports Xchange

ATHENS — Nick Chubb had several reasons for deciding to come back to Georgia for his senior year.

One was to help give this year’s crop of seniors a sendoff they wouldn’t forget. Saturday’s 42-13 rout of Kentucky certainly qualified.

“It’s a great feeling,” Chubb said. “Just to finish, get the win … it’s something to look back and cherish. It’s a great feeling.”

The good times may not be over yet.

Georgia (10-1, 7-1 SEC) still has plenty to play for, including a likely trip to the College Football Playoffs if they can win at Georgia Tech on Saturday and beat either Auburn or Alabama in the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta.

Chubb and fellow senior running back Sony Michel both deserve a tip of the cap for Saturday’s win.

The seniors made their final home game a memorable one, with Chubb rushing for 151 yards and two scores, while Michel

added 87 yards and three touchdowns.

“Georgia is known for running the ball and it was amazing the success we had today,” said Michel, who, like Chubb, decided to play his senior season in Athens instead of leaving early for the NFL. “We planned on wining every game. That didn’t happen, but sitting here now, this is just the kind of season we were hoping for.”

being replaced by Jacob Eason late in the fourth quarter.

“What a great way for these seniors to go out — winning the SEC East by going undefeated against the East,” Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart said.

“Our seniors have given us tremendous leadership, and I’m happy and proud of them. Our seniors have set the standard and our young players have bought in. It helps to have such great leadership.”

Running back Benny Snell accounted for most of Kentucky’s offense, rushing for 94 yards and scoring the team’s only touchdown on a 1-yard run in the third.

Chubb and Michel were lot of arm tackling today.

we knew they were going to do,” Johnson said. “We saw the same thing against Mississippi State, Florida’s defense as well. You have to give credit to those guys because they came to play.”

Georgia led 21-6 at the half, helped by Chubb and Michel scoring on runs of 8 and 37 yards.

Kentucky’s six points came on field goals of 37 and 35 yards by Austin MacGinnis before closing to 21-13 early in the third quarter on a 1-yard run by Snell. The Wildcats would get no closer.

“We kind of held them pretty good in the run game because those ones they kept bouncing,” linebacker Davin Bellamy said. “Once we started fitting those right, everything was cool.”

Notes: Georgia QB Jake Fromm set a school freshman record with his 17th touchdown pass. …

Chubb’s 151 yards pushed him over the 1,000-yard mark for the third time in his career. … Kentucky RB Benny Snell’s third-quarter touchdown was the 29th of his career, extending his school record for rushing scores.

The USL expansion team is designed as a developmental tool for young players, as well as a spot for first team players to compete while on loan. The USL included 30 teams in 20 U.S. states and two Canadian provinces for the 2017 season. The Gwinnett team joins 2018 expansion franchises in Fresno, Calif., Las Vegas and Nashville, Tenn. While the new soccer team will play games in Gwinnett, it will train in Marietta at Atlanta United’s complex.

The USL, one of the world’s most prominent Division II leagues, drew more than two million fans to matches in 2017. Two clubs averaged five figures in attendance this year — FC Cincinnati’s 21,199 and Sacramento Republic FC’s 11,569 — and the league’s

average attendance as a whole jumped 25.7 percent from 2016. Coolray Field seats 10,427 fans.

Soccer’s popularity in the city rocketed with Atlanta United’s debut 2017 season in Major League Soccer. The franchise broke MLS attendance records with more than 800,000 fans this season and a record 71,874 fans for its final regular season match against Toronto FC. Atlanta United also set an MLS playoff attendance record of 67,221 fans in its match against the Columbus Crew.

The addition of Atlanta United’s USL club expands Gwinnett’s professional sports count to five organizations — the Atlanta Gladiators, Atlanta Havoc, the soon-to-be-rebranded Gwinnett Braves and the Georgia Swarm.

CUP SERIES

“But I’m certainly going to try everything I can to win the race outright and then hope my teammate finishes second. But if we don’t win, I’ll just say we’re pulling for them.”

Daniel Suarez, another Toyota driver with Hamlin and Busch at Joe Gibbs Racing, agreed.

“I have a lot of respect for those drivers,” he said.

“The last thing I want to do is be the guy who costs one of them a championship.

“But I have to do my thing. For sure, you never give up a chance to win a race. If you do, you’ll never win a championship.”

Hamlin’s time up front may not last long. Although he won the pole at 173.980 mph, Truex, who will start second, consistently has had the fastest car during practice. In fact, he was the quickest in Saturday’s final workout.

Busch will start third, followed by Matt Kenseth in fourth, Keselowski in fifth, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. in sixth, Kyle Larson in seventh, Kurt Busch in eighth, Harvick in ninth and Suarez in 10th.

Breakthrough win

GGC men claim first NAIA postseason victory

By Taylor Denman

taylor.denman@ gwinnettdailypost.com

LAWRENCEVILLE — The Georgia Gwinnett College soccer team celebrated the program’s first NAIA postseason win by dowsing head coach Steve DeCou with the contents of a freezing cooler.

The Grizzlies won the match 3-2 over Southern Oregon University on a go-ahead goal with 16 minutes remaining in Saturday’s match. A pass toward the front of the Raiders’ net was deflected

by Ian Aramburu, then finished by Michael Weber.

“It was just a mad scramble,” DeCou said.

“I saw the ball go up in the air and I didn’t know if Ian or Mike was on the other end of it, but I just thought, ‘Somebody get there please.’”

In three previous appearances in the NAIA men’s soccer championships, the Grizzlies came up empty. Decou said now that his team is “over the hump” of the openinground match, the chaos of the NAIA tournament final site means any team can make a deep run.

DeCou said his team

showed resilience after a 2-0 loss to Waldorf in the Association of Independent Institutions tournament last week. That adversity, he said, steeled the Grizzlies when they went down 1-0 early in Saturday’s match.

“It is playoffs and things can get turned on their head early,” DeCou said.

“When that first goal went in, the initial response is, ‘Oh, no, are we going to

relive last Saturday?’”

GGC didn’t waste much time tying the match after Soutern Oregon’s initial goal from Zac Hansen.

Aramburu set up senior captain Samuel Sampaio Gomes for an equalizer three minutes after the Raiders took the early lead.

“To be honest, I was mad after the first couple of minutes,” he said. “I think there was a lot of

anger in that shot.”

Andrew White gave the Grizzlies their first lead by hammering home a penalty kick early in the first half, and GGC nursed a 2-1 lead through halftime.

Hansen came through for Southern Oregon again midway through the second half with another header goal to even the score 2-2.

Roughly 10 minutes later, the Grizzlies’ constant pressure paid off when Weber hammered home the eventual winning goal.

“When I saw the ball go up, it was like time didn’t pass anymore,” Sampaio Gomes said.

Southern Oregon pushed GGC to the final seconds of the match. The Raiders were granted a corner kick as the final 30 seconds of the match ticked down.

The initial cross in the box was deflected out, but a Raider rifled a shot toward Grizzly goalkeeper Matija Gilgorovic. The A.I.I. goalie of the year made his fourth and final save of the match and clinched the win in the Grizzlies’ final home match of the season.

GGC will play Vanguard in Del Rey Beach, Fla., to start final site play in the NAIA tournament.

The Bears called a timeout with :23.7 left, looking to take the last shot of the game for the lead. The Bears got a clear path to the hoop, but couldn’t finish the layup and were forced to foul.

Mountain View hauled in a rebound on the back end of Miller Grove’s oneand-one, but the Bears’ game-tying shot attempt on the ensuing fast break was short.

Allenye finished with 15 points for the Bears.

Falcons, Seahawks set for key Monday night game The Sports Xchange The Atlanta Falcons head to Seattle to take on the Seahawks in a key Monday Night Football matchup with NFC playoff implications at stake.

Both teams are coming off wins.

The Falcons (5-4) looked like defending NFC champions by dominating the Dallas Cowboys.

The Seahawks (6-3) played an NFC West opponent, the Arizona Cardinals, last Thursday night and even though the team suffered through major injury losses still found a way to win the game.

Both teams are not only fighting to win their respective divisions but, if not, to at least stay in the wild-card discussion.

For the Seahawks, the 11-day layoff could not come at a better time. In the win over the Cardinals, starting cornerback Richard Sherman was lost to a ruptured Achilles. The injury, which Sherman has been nursing all season, will cost the All-Pro player the rest of the 2017 season.

Sherman was contrite after the game “When it goes, it goes.”

This is the second time in back-to-back seasons the Seahawks have lost a member of the Legion of Boom for the year with an injury.

Last year, safety Earl Thomas was shelved after breaking a leg in December. The defense never recovered.

The 2017 version of the Legion of Boom needs to hope that Sherman’s replacement, cornerback Jeremy Lane, can at least

hold his own versus a dynamic passing attack of the Falcons.

Atlanta wide receiver Julio Jones is fifth in the NFL with 715 receiving yards on 49 receptions. Tight end Austin Hooper and wide receiver Mohamed Sanu both have more than 30 receptions and each has three touchdown grabs.

Quarterback Matt Ryan is eighth in the NFL in passing yards with 2,372. In the win over the Cowboys, Ryan became the fastest quarterback to 40,000 yards passing in league history.

“I’ve been fortunate to play with a number of great players throughout my 9 1/2 or 10 years here,” said Ryan, who was the third player selected in the 2008 draft out of Boston College. “I have been fortunate to be on some really good teams and to be able to stay healthy. I’m proud of that. I hope that there’s another 40,000 in there and I can keep playing for a long time.”

The Falcons are 11th in the NFL in passing yards per game at 251.6 but balance the air attack out with a solid rushing attack.

Atlanta is ranked 13th in the NFL on the ground, rushing for an average of 116.4 yards per game.

But just as Seattle will be without one of its best players, Atlanta will be without one of the best running backs in football, Devonta Freeman.

The former Florida State star will miss the game while trying to pass through the concussion protocol. This is the second concussion Freeman has sustained this season, so the team must be extra cau-

tious with him.

The Falcons will need Tevin Coleman and his 4.8 yards per carry to be the workhorse in Freeman’s absent.

Atlanta’s offense will be facing one of the stouter defensive units in the NFL. Seattle is ranked seventh in the NFL in only allowing 18.3 points per game. The group is ranked 13th in pass defense (217.9 yards) and ninth against the run (101 yards).

Seattle has a good defensive front, but Atlanta’s offensive line played well against Dallas.

“I don’t know what they were ranked in the league in terms of sacks, but we knew coming into it that they were going to be a really good pass rush to go up against,” Ryan said of Dallas’ defense. “I thought our guys did a great job.”

Seattle’s offense is quarterback Russell Wilson, who is second in the NFL in passing yards (trailing only Tom Brady) with 2,543. Wilson has also has accounted for 20 total touchdowns, 19 coming through the air.

Early in the season, the Seahawks had major blocking issues with the offensive line, so they traded high future draft picks to secure the services of left tackle Duane Brown, formerly of the Houston Texans.

Brown enters the game as questionable with an ankle injury and will be facing defensive end Adrian Clayborn, hot off a six-sack game. Seattle had better hope Brown is healthy enough to contain the red-hot Clayborn.

Clayborn leads a Falcons defense that is very good in their own right. Seattle has not shown much in terms of a rushing attack, which is good for the Falcons.

If the unit has a weakness, stopping the run is the issue. The Falcons give up 113.7 yards per game on the ground, which ranks 19th in the league. But against the pass, the Falcons rank sixth in the NFL, allowing only 198.2 yards through the air.

Atlanta is a top team in overall defense. The Falcons are ranked seventh in total yards allowed per game at 311.9.

Now, it appears Williams might be tough to get out of the lineup.

Arizona at Houston, 1 p.m. today Arizona Cardinals (4-5) coach Bruce Arians said Friday that quarterback Blaine Gabbert will start over injured Drew Stanton for today’s game against the Houston Texans (3-6).

Arians told reporters that Stanton, who has a sprained knee, will be Gabbert’s backup if he can physically play.

Stanton has been the starter since Carson Palmer went down with a broken arm in Week 7. If Stanton can’t go, Matt Barkley, who signed with the Cardinals earlier this week, will back up Gabbert.

This will be Gabbert’s first start since Week 5 last season for the San Francisco 49ers — a 33-21 loss against the Cardinals on Oct. 6, 2016. The 28-yearold Gabbert completed 56.9 percent of his passes for 925 yards, five touchdowns and six interceptions in six games last season.

L.A. Rams at Minnesota, 1 p.m. today Jared Goff stood at the podium in front of reporters and understandably felt a bit of deja vu.

The Los Angeles Rams’ young quarterback was being asked about Case Keenum, an occurrence that caused Goff to say you could rewind his answers from last season.

This is 2017 and very different circumstances, though.

The Goff-Keenum connection takes on new meaning as Goff and the Rams face Keenum with the Vikings in Minnesota this weekend.

The two have come a

long way since last year’s messy first season in Los Angeles for the Rams when Keenum was the placeholder for Goff, the rookie No. 1 pick in the draft. Both are thriving this season in different situations as they meet as fellow starters this week.

Goff is making good on the promise of being the top pick in the draft thanks to coach Sean McVay, an offensive line that includes newcomers in left tackle Andrew Whitworth and former Vikings center John Sullivan, and some new receivers in Robert Woods and Sammy Watkins.

Los Angeles is 7-2 and leading the NFC West as Goff has completed 61.2 percent of his passes for 2,385 yards, 16 touchdowns, four interceptions and a 101.5 quarterback rating. He leads the NFL averaging 8.5 yards per pass attempt. The Vikings (7-2) lead the NFC North.

Washington at New Orleans, 1 p.m. today Washington Redskins (4-5) rookie running back Samaje Perine has a golden opportunity to establish himself as a primary running back when he starts today’s game against the New Orleans Saints (7-2).

Perine, 22, takes over for starter Rob Kelley, who was placed on injured reserve this week (sprained MCL, left knee; high-ankle sprain).

The 2017 fourth-round draft pick started one game for the oft-injured Kelley — Week 3 against the Oakland Raiders — but ball-security issues and a general lack of production led to a reduction in playing time.

Perine has just 26 carries since that Raiders game and twice — in Week 7 against the Philadelphia Eagles and Week 8 against the Dallas Cowboys — didn’t have any carries and only played on special teams.

After Kelley was hurt in Sunday’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings, Perine had nine carries for 35 yards (3.9 yards per carry).

Kansas City at N.Y. Giants, 1 p.m. today Kansas City Chiefs coach

Andy Reid doesn’t want to hear about records.

Reid, whose teams are 16-2 in games following a week off, is dialed in to making sure his team, which prior to the bye lost three out of four games, has cleaned up the little things that were part of that mini skid by the time they take the MetLife Stadium field today for their meeting with the New York Giants (1-8).

In their last four games, the Chiefs (6-3) have struggled to convert on third down, going 17 of 49, have seen their net yards on offense dip below 300 in two of those games and have allowed an average of 420.7 yards.

Buffalo at L.A. Chargers, 4:05 p.m. today The Buffalo Bills face the Los Angeles Chargers with a potential quarterback matchup today at the StubHub Center that few saw coming.

Is everyone ready for Nathan Peterman-Kellen Clemens showdown?

The Bills (5-4) have turned to the rookie Peterman, a fifth-round pick, over Tyrod Taylor as they attempt to snap their first two-game skid of the season.

The Chargers (3-6) could turn away from Philip Rivers, his availability in question because of a concussion he suffered in Sunday’s overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Like the Bills, the Chargers are trying to rebound from two consecutive losses.

After a flash of victories in mid-October, the Chargers have returned to their manner of dropping close games in baffling ways.

Cincinnati at Denver, 4:25 p.m. today The Denver Broncos are having problems converting in the red zone.

The Cincinnati Bengals are struggling big-time to run the football.

The 3-6 teams are trying to iron out their troubled offenses as much as possible heading into today’s matchup. Both clubs will be challenged to move the ball against top-tier defenses.

Denver enters with a five-

game losing streak, a skid marked by repeated failures to convert red zone opportunities into touchdowns.

The Broncos’ futility was epitomized in last week’s 41-16 loss to New England when they settled for three field goals early rather than counterpunching Patriots’ touchdowns with touchdowns of their own, and letting the game get out of reach.

Denver coach Vance Joseph said the solution for the stalled Broncos’ offense comes down to improving the overall level of play.

The Bengals, meanwhile, have struggled to establish any semblance of offensive balance, putting tremendous pressure on quarterback Andy Dalton and the passing game to carry Cincinnati’s attack.

New England vs. Oakland (Mexico City), 4:25 p.m. today The New England Patriots (7-2) are trying to turn a challenge into an opportunity this week in Colorado.

Following Sunday night’s 41-16 blowout of the Denver Broncos, New England set up camp in Colorado Springs and is practicing this week at the United States Air Force Academy in advance of today’s trip to Mexico City to take on the Raiders.

On one hand, consecutive road games at altitude — Mexico City is actually a quarter mile higher than the Mile High City — could be a challenge for a Patriots team that’s tied a team record with 12 straight wins away from Foxborough.

And while they have struggled to date, the Raiders (4-5) were a popular pick as an AFC Super Bowl contender following last year’s breakout season. They still have plenty of playmakers on offense, led by young passer Derek Carr.

But a week in Colorado also offers up the chance for a bonding experience for the defending champions, a chance for a mid-season coming together on the way toward what all involved hope is another postseason run with a new cast of characters.

Complete game coverage of Gwinnett County high school football

Buford backs dominate again

By Mitch Blomert Staff Correspondent

BUFORD — If good things truly come in threes, Buford is in prime position for another deep playoff run.

Trying for their 18th straight trip to the state quarterfinals, the Wolves once again leaned on their ever-reliable three-way running back committee of Anthony Grant, Christian Turner and Derrian Brown, and used it to throttle Maynard Jackson 48-0 in Friday’s Class AAAAA second-round matchup at Tom Riden Stadium.

The dynamic trio of two seniors and one junior — each carrying a slew of Division I offers — combined for 301 rushing yards and five touchdowns as secondranked Buford (10-1) made short work of the Jaguars (9-3) to secure a spot in the quarterfinals, an occurrence that has become routine for the storied program.

Grant (Tennessee commit) led the way with 138 yards and three TDs, while Turner (Michigan commit) recorded 81 yards and a score and Brown (undecided) added 82 yards and another TD. “The chemistry is great,” Grant said. “None of us are selfish, so when you have three good running backs like that, and no one is selfish, it just makes everything 10 times better.”

Selfish or not, the three backs have found their biggest competition this season to be each other.

With each passing week, they seemingly alternate duties of being the Wolves’ offensive hero.

It was Brown’s turn last week with his 150-yard, four-touchdown performance in Buford’s firstround win over Paulding County. This Friday, it was Grant, whose two first-quarter TDs gave the Wolves an early command of the contest.

“We’re the most competitive out of the whole team,” Grant said. “We’re always trying to one-up each other, but it’s like a family thing. It’s all together.”

Buford faces a dangerous undefeated Stockbridge team in next week’s quarterfinal. The Tigers possess the best defense in Class AAAAA, having surrendered just 71 points all season following a 10-7 win over Ware County on Friday.

But if the Wolves’ second-round performance indicates anything about where they stand in Class AAAAA, it’s that

even the best defensive teams in the classification are still no match for the Wolves’ powerful offense.

Jackson, enjoying the best season in program history and carrying a top-10 defense among AAAAA teams, gave up the most points in a game this season and allowed 431 total yards.

“I like how we played tonight, but that doesn’t guarantee anything for tomorrow,” Buford head coach John Ford said.

“We’ve got to come out and earn it all over again.

Everybody’s record resets to 0-0 next week, and you’re just trying to get to 1-0 next Friday night.”

Buford’s defense wasn’t too shabby, either.

In fact it was downright nasty.

The Wolves notched four interceptions, recovered two fumbles and surrendered just 85 yards for their fifth shutout of the season, a dramatic turnaround from last week’s win against Paulding County that saw them give up nearly 300 passing yards.

“The coaches always do a good job with the game plan on that side of the ball, and they did a good job putting a plan together,” Ford said. “The kids came out, executed and played hard, and played for each other.

They communicated effectively and were fundamentally sound.”

Buford’s rushing attack averaged a healthy seven yards per carry in the first half, making it no surprise the Wolves enjoyed a comfortable 27-0 lead at intermission.

Turner was the first of the Buford runners to pay a visit to the end zone, capping a productive opening drive for the Wolves with a 13-yard score. They recovered a Jackson fumble on the ensuing kickoff, but couldn’t exchange the turnover for points.

Grant was the hub of the Buford offense the remainder of the quarter, notching a pair of TDs to increase the Wolves’ lead to 20 by the first buzzer. He scored on runs of 11 and 6 yards, the second of which was set up by a Demontre Bennett interception inside Jackson territory.

Buford quarterback Aaron McLaughlin provided another offensive spark in the second quarter with an 8-yard fade to Tyler Gillis for another TD. Brown gave all three Buford running backs TDs with his 9-yard run in the third, which was enough to activate a running clock in the fourth quarter.

ELITE EIGHT

Broncos reach first quarters since 2010

By Scott Smith

scott.smith@ gwinnettdailypost.com

SNELLVILLE – Brookwood made the right call at the right time.

Nursing a narrow 21-16 late in the fourth quarter of its second-round, Class AAAAAAA state playoff football game against Milton on Friday night, the Broncos were in danger of being forced to punt.

Facing a third-and-7 from the midfield stripe, quarterback Angelo DiSpigna rolled to his left, scanning downfield for any open receivers.

Then the quarterback stopped, turned left and sent a long toss to the other side to a wide-open Dante Black, who took the screen pass the distance for a back-breaking touchdown and a 28-16 lead.

That score, which came with 1:57 left to play, proved to be too much for the Eagles (9-3) to overcome, despite a valiant comeback, as the Broncos reached their first quarterfinal appearance since 2010 with a 28-23 win.

“That was a throw-back screen to the tailback and we thought we had the right call,” Brookwood head coach Philip Jones said.

“Credit to coach (Chad) Pickett, our offensive coordinator, for making that call at the right time.”

Despite the hole that Black’s score put Milton in, the Eagles wouldn’t go away and responded with

a 79-yard, six-play scoring drive to get within five at 28-23.

That drive was sparked by a 60-yard pass play from Jordan Yates to Dash Hairston and ended with a 6-yard TD pass from that same combination with 58 seconds left.

The Eagles lined up for an onside kick and nearly got a chance to break Brookwood’s heart, but the ball was touched by one of the Milton players just before it traveled the required 10 yards.

That gave Brookwood the ball at the Milton 48, and Black iced the game by picking up a first down after two consecutive carries.

Those last two carries capped off a solid night for Black, after getting off to a slow start as he finished with 110 yards and two rushing scores on 29 attempts.

“That was a moment in the game where, if we get them off the field, we have a chance to get our offense back out on the field,” Milton head coach Adam Clack said of the possession that led to Black’s TD on the screen pass. “They caught us being over aggressive and it was a brilliant call.

They put us behind the eight ball and didn’t allow us to make enough plays in the second half.”

The defenses for both teams got off to strong starts as neither team was able to mount any scoring threats in the first quarter.

Milton was the first to stir to life in the second with a drive that started on its own 29 and reached the Brookwood 18 on 11 plays before stalling.

That was close enough for Milton kicker Hayden Hairston, who lofted a kick just over the crossbar from

35 yards out to give the Eagles a 3-0 lead with 8:29 left before half.

The Broncos answered quickly, taking over at their own 21 on the ensuing possession and getting a shot in the arm with a 70-yard run from Matthew Hill (seven carries, 78 yards) to set up first-and-goal from the nine.

After another run by Hill, this one for one yard, Black took the next snap around the left side and seemed to have a clear path to the end zone.

Black took a hit just short of the goal line and the ball flew into the end zone, but Brookwood lineman Casey Holman seemingly save the day with the recovery.

But Holman was denied the score on a holding penalty that pushed the ball back to the 18.

Flags were not an issue on the next play as DiSpigna (10-for-17, 200 yards, two TDs, one INT) found tight end Chris Cotter wide open down the middle after a nice play fake.

The PAT from Jake Cartmill extended the Brookwood lead to 7-3 with just over seven minutes left in the second.

Milton took the ensuing possession and mounted another nice drive that started at its own 27 and reached Brookwood territory at the 35.

An offside penalty gave Milton a first-and-5, but a holding penalty pushed the Eagles into too deep of a hole to dig out of, eventually being forced to punt after some razzle dazzle on a pass after a double lateral failed.

The offensive struggles of both teams from the first half went away in the second half, a trend Brook-

wood (10-2) started on the opening possession of the third quarter by going 57 yards on 10 plays to extend the lead to 14-3.

Black got his first TD of the night on a 6-yard run to end the drive, but Milton answered by going 80 yards on eight plays to cut the score to 14-10.

That drive ended with a 49-yard TD pass from Yates to Syaire Waters, who was open down the middle after the Brookwood safety went for the interception but missed.

Not to be outdone, Brookwood put together another long drive, this time using 10 plays to go 67 yards and vault ahead 21-10 with 11:54 left to play.

That last play of the drive was on the first play of the fourth quarter and produced Black’s second rushing TD of the night from two yards out.

After the two teams traded punts, Milton took over on its 15 and marched 85 yards on 17 plays, scoring on a 1-yard TD run from Solomon Vanhorse (20 carries, 72 yards, one TD).

The Eagles went for two but the pass failed, leaving the Brookwood lead at 2116 with 3:46 left to play.

Milton also attempted an onside kick after that score, but Zion Pullins recovered it for Brookwood at the Bronco 47, eventually setting up the big screen pass from DiSpigna to Black.

“Milton did a terrific job of continuing to fight,” Jones said. “We stretched the lead out on them twice and they kept battling, even when there was just a couple of minutes left.

But that’s how you win in the playoffs against tough teams like Milton.”

14-7 with less than two minutes left in the game when they were faced with fourth-and-5 at the Allatoona 35. A busted play required quarterback Shayne Buckingham to move to his right and find a wide-open Perry near the right sideline for a 35-yard touchdown pass. Perry had four catches for 61 yards.

“Shayne just made a real gutsy play to extend it and find Jalen open,” Jones said. “It ended up being a good play for us.”

Dacula was set to tie the game, but Rett Russell blocked Payton Rawson’s PAT to make it 14-13 with 1:39 left in the game.

The Falcons were unable to recover the onside kick, but were able to force Al-

latoona to punt. With six seconds left in the game, Buckingham threw a 21yard pass to Tre McMillan at midfield to end the game.

Buckingham was 11 of 29 for 171 yards passing, while McMillan rushed for 109 yards on 14 carries.

It was a defensive battle most of the night for both teams. Dacula went fumble, punt, punt, punt in the first half. After the Falcons’ third punt put Allatoona at the 20, the Buccaneers reeled of an 11-play, 80-yard scoring drive. The Bucs converted twice on third down, including a 46-yard pass play by Dante Marshall to Adrian Boyd at the three.

Brandon Nash punched in the 2-yard touchdown run

to put Allatoona ahead 7-0 with 4:01 left in the half.

“Unfortunately, they made a couple of big plays and we didn’t,” Jones said.

“Sometimes that defines the game.”

Dacula threatened to put points on the scoreboard before the half ended. The Falcons got help from a roughing the passer call, a 19-yard pass from Buckingham to McMillan and a roughing the punter call on a fourth-down punt. That helped put the Falcons at the Allatoona 28 with less than a minute to play in the half. Buckingham took off on a 12-yard run as time expired in the half and end Dacula’s scoring threat.

Allatoona used an eightplay, 98-yard drive to take a

14-0 lead in the third quarter. Marshall, who was 3 of 11 for 112 yards, threw a 59-yard touchdown pass to Jaylan Williams with 5:24 left in the third quarter.

It wasn’t until the fourth quarter and down 14-0 that Dacula began to move the ball offensively. The Falcons needed just three plays — a 16-yard run by Buckingham, a 28-yard run by McMillan, and a 30-yard touchdown pass

by Buckingham to Konata Mumpfield — to get on the scoreboard 7-0 with 7:18 left in the game.

After the Falcons defense forced a three-andout, Perry and the offense appeared to have tied the game until the extra point was blocked.

was warranted.

“I don’t know (if the players lost composure), I haven’t seen it on film,” he said. “Given the calls that were made, they better have. (The officials) had better be right in that situation.”

The Wolves, the No. 8 seed in the Class A private school bracket, opened a 10-0 lead in the second quarter behind a 22-yard field goal by Mateo Rengifo and a highlight-reel catch by Stewart Stamper on a 41-yard strike from Ramsey. With just over six minutes to play before halftime, Ramsey lofted a ball into the end zone.

Despite having a defender making contact and falling to the ground as he made the catch, Stamper corralled the ball with one hand for the score.

The 10-0 lead lasted until halftime, but Calvary Day coach Mark Stroud acknowledged the deficit

could have been worse.

Ramsey was intercepted twice in the end zone in the first half and the vaunted Cavaliers’ rushing attack was struggling to find any momentum. Tailback Jalen Leary came into the game with more than 1,400 rushing yards on the season, but was held to just 10 yards through his first six carries.

As things began to turn against the Wolves in the third quarter, the Cavaliers seized the momentum.

Leary found some holes in the running game and finished with 108 yards on 20 carries.

Calvary Day scored on its first drive of the second half on a 1-yard run by fullback Vince Grassi.

Then the Cavaliers took advantage of a bad snap which Ramsey couldn’t recover and they took over on the Wesleyan 19-yard line. Alan Gibbs eventually kicked a 39-yard field goal

to tie the game.

Ramsey left the game two drives later after he was sacked on his own 2-yard line on third down.

He was helped into the locker room and returned to the sideline on crutches with ice on his right knee.

The Wolves had to punt from their own end zone following the sack and Calvary Day took over at the Wesleyan 40-yard line.

Five plays later, Leary scored from 10-yards to give the Cavaliers the lead.

Freshman Andrew Van Wie came into the game at quarterback for Wesleyan and had some success, but a fumbled handoff and an interception halted two Wesleyan fourth-quarter drives. The Wolves’ defense continued to give him a chance by recovering a fumble and then forcing a punt deep in Cavaliers territory in the final minutes. Wesleyan moved as far as the 11-yard line

with just over a minute to play, but Van Wie’s pass on fourth down was broken up to seal the win for the Cavaliers.

The loss ends an illustrious career for Ramsey in a way which Pridgen believes was unfitting for what he has meant to the program during his fouryear career as the starting quarterback.

“He’s everything (to the team), Banks has been the face and spirit of Wesleyan football for four years and I’m devastated it ended this way,” Pridgen said. “I will choose to look back at his body of work. He’s all-county, all-state and a record holder. I will choose to look at his character, his leadership, his faith and his indefatigable spirit. That’s what I will remember him for.”

Ramsey finished 8-for16 for 131 yards and a touchdown. Van Wie was 7-for-10 for 54 yards.

North •From Page 1B when mine came, I had to seize the opportunity.”

Two plays later, Goodson went back to the ground and bolted up the middle from 15 yards out to put North back in front with just 1:37 left on the clock.

It was one of many plays on the evening Goodson and the Bulldogs were able to gain big chunks of yardage against a Grayson defense that had been virtually impenetrable against the run most of the season. “(Grayson) were slanting really hard,” Goodson said of the Rams. “They were just slanting and slanting and slanting, so the cutback was there. I’d like to thank my (offensive) linemen, the whole O-line. If I didn’t have them, I wouldn’t be where I am.”

Grayson actually got the ball back twice more in the final 1:37, even after turning the ball over on downs with 58 seconds left on its own 29-yard line. The Rams’ defense was able to force North to turn the ball back over on downs after using up all three timeouts.

But as they had most of the night, the Bulldogs’ pass rush hounded D.J. Irons with the Rams needing to go 80 yards in 33 seconds with no timeouts.

And when Payne Walker wrapped up the senior quarterback with 11 seconds left, North had forced another turnover on downs, with this one

passing from Irons.

three plays later to get the Rams on the board at 14-7 with 4:50 left in the first half.

A quick three-and-out by the defense gave the Rams the ball back, with Thompson and Irons moving the ball just past midfield on the ground.

Then after a time out, Irons found Jaquavius Lane wide open behind the North secondary and hit him with a perfect strike for a 44-yard TD, pulling Grayson even at 14-all with 1:11 left in the half.

But it didn’t take long for North to answer, with Urzua turning a busted play under a heavy Grayson rush into a 61-yard completion to Fisher down to the Rams’ 2-yard line.

Goodson got the required two yards on the next play with 36 seconds left in the half, sending the Bulldogs into intermission with a 21-14 lead.

Once again, North took a two-touchdown lead at 2814 when Urzua hooked up with Fisher for a 31-yard scoring strike with 7:40 left in the third quarter, only to have Grayson respond.

against the wall two or three times and didn’t bat an eye. Mill Creek made a few plays and we got a couple of key turnovers.

That was the difference in the game.”

Archer (12-0) went up 16-7 in the third quarter when Carter Peevy hit a wide open Jelani Baker for a 49-yard touchdown pass, but Mill Creek (8-4) controlled play from there.

The Hawks cut the deficit to 16-10 late in the third quarter when Matt Campbell drilled a 52yard field goal — the kick was necessary because a holding penalty negated a 30-yard run inside the Archer 5-yard line — and they kept charging in the fourth quarter.

Mill Creek went on an 11-play drive early in the fourth quarter that reached the Archer 8-yard line, but the 11th play was costly.

On second down, Brady Longenecker’s pass was sent skyward by Colin Stein as he collided with a Hawks receiver. Tyler Roach made a diving interception at the 6-yard line to thwart the drive.

The Hawks’ defense forced a three-and-out and took over at the Archer 44 with 2:44 remaining for one last shot at points.

Longenecker’s 13-yard completion to Austin Williams moved to the ball to the 28, then Uriah Leverette (20 rushes, 85 yards) raced into open space inside the 20, where he met up with Roman.

The Archer senior got his arm inside the football and ripped it loose, allowing teammate Jalyn Phillips to jump on it with 1:37 remaining.

“Making turnovers is necessary and that’s what we did tonight,” Roman said. “I just remember there was a big open gap and I did what I was taught and coached by my awesome coaches. I got a good strip and got the ball out.”

Mill Creek, which lost 16-13 to Archer back on Sept. 8, still had two timeouts when Archer took over with 1:37 left. But the Hawks, after burning the timeouts, jumped offsides on third-and-four, which let the Tigers run out the remaining clock.

Longenecker threw for 132 yards and rushed for 52 more, and Mill Creek had a 267-216 edge in total yards. But the three turnovers were costly, including a fumble on the opening kickoff that gave Archer possession on the 6-yard line and set up a

short Michael Johnson field goal.

A Keegan Strickland TD run put Archer up 10-0 late in the first quarter but the Hawks closed to 10-7 on a 2-yard TD run by Caden Cullins. That score was set up by a fumble recovery from Jonathan Gipson, who led a defense that also got two tackles for losses from R.J. Brown, a sack from Thomas Smith and an interception by Trey Turner.

That unit held Archer 48 rushing yards on 27 attempts.

“I’m extremely pleased with our kids’ physicality,” Mill Creek head coach Shannon Jarvis said.

“After the first game (with Archer), our emphasis all week was to be physical tonight and win the line of scrimmage. That’s something at Mill Creek we take pride in. Traditionally, we’ve been successful with it. But when we played earlier in the year, they were more physical than us. I was very pleased with how physical our kids were at the point of attack, offensively and defensively throughout the night.

“We had to shut down the run. We knew that. We knew we couldn’t let them get going in the running game. You’ve got to give Peevy credit. He made throws when he had to and had some big conversions and the big touchdown pass in the third quarter that ended up being the difference in the game.”

Peevy completed 18 of 29 passes for 168 yards — his interception was on a last-second heave toward the end zone at the end of the first half. Baker had six catches for 92 yards and Braylen Weems had six catches for 65 yards. “(Mill Creek) kept seven (defensive players) in the box and they said bring it and throw it,” Dyer said. “I thought Carter played extremely well.

I thought Jelani Baker made some huge catches and Braylen Weems made some huge catches to extend some drives and keep them off the field.”

winnett County’s pipeline of athletes to high school, college and NFL teams over the past two decades has its roots in one place: the Gwinnett Football League.

Virtually all of the county’s football stars got their starts in the GFL, which features thousands of football players and cheerleaders each year.

On a cold start to Saturday’s GFL championship games, the 6-yearold Grayson team trys to stay bundled up between series.

The league held its showcase event last weekend at two high school fields, Brookwood and Central Gwinnett, to crown this

year’s championship teams.

Here are some photos

The unexpected joys of hosting at Thanksgiving Last year marked the 25th anniversary that I have hosted Thanksgiving for family and friends. And it’s a really big deal for me.

There are people like my sister, Louise, or my dear friend, Barbara Dooley, who are effortless at hosting and cooking. I stand in awe.

Barbara is flawless in how quickly she can put together supper or a Saturday afterthe-game party. She tells delightful stories as she dashes around the kitchen, seemingly never thinking about the food she’s putting together.

Louise will host a Sunday dinner for 20 people with cooked-from-scratch food that is abundant. I’m a good cook and I like to do it, but entertaining a group of

early days of this tradition, I worked two jobs including a part-time retail job which meant I worked the busiest day of the retail season and usually had to be there by 7:30 a.m. Thank goodness the Lord delivered me from that.

Last year, though, the unexpected happened. It was two days before I started my one week preparation. I was on the elliptical, working out, when Tink walked in with one of those looks.

“Oh no,” I groaned.

“What now?”

He took a sharp breath.

One of his family — one of the dearest people ever in his life — was sick and needed several days of intense caregiving.

I nodded with sympathy.

I loved her, too. “You’re going?”

“Well, really, it would be better if you did because

there’s things you can do for her that I, uh, I …” I understood. We booked my flight for the next day.

The chief worry was Thanksgiving preparation but a good friend promised she’d send over her housekeeper to clean one day and the rest, I figured, would just fall into place.

But not as I expected.

The housekeeper, through a misunderstanding, didn’t show up. So Tink cleaned.

He didn’t do the windowsills and baseboards as I always do and he didn’t get down on the kitchen floor with an old toothbrush and scrub in the crevices but he cleaned what people would see. Meanwhile in Connecticut, I took my nursing duties seriously, working with little rest. That, combined with bacteria picked up on the flight, had me very sick by the time the car arrived

on Wednesday to take me to the airport for the flight home.

By the time I landed, I could barely speak. I was growing sicker by the moment. On Thanksgiving, I was completely without voice as 28 people filed in for food and fellowship.

They talked amongst themselves, they laughed, they piled their plates high and they celebrated the blessings of the year.

In the midst of such fellowship and celebration, not one person noticed that the baseboards and windowsills were not dusted.

It turned out to be my favorite part of Thanksgiving.

SNELLVILLE City officials reviewing Greenway Master Plan Snellville officials are currently reviewing a Greenway Master Plan.

A greenway is essentially a trail designed primarily for bicycles and pedestrians.

They serve both transportation and recreation purposes and are often paved with asphalt or concrete, depending on location and intensity of use.

The initial meetings for the Snellville Greenway Initiative took place in June and July, according to a news release on the city’s website.

The purpose of these public meetings was to figure out who should be involved in the discussion and to garner input from a variety of sources on what kinds of trails and destinations would be preferable.

Gwinnett County has also been at work refining and updating its own Greenway Master Plan, and planning at the county level has aided and informed Snellville’s efforts, the news release said.

The focus of county planning thus far has been the creation of a list of projects that can be feasibly completed by 2040.

To view the Snellville Greenway Master Plan, visit www.snellville.org/snellvillegreenway-master-plan.

Don’t fight the naysayers; flow with them If you get caught in a riptide, the best way to survive is swim with it — go in the direction it’s carrying you. When people try to overpower the tide, they drown. Instead, they should use the tide’s energy to go elsewhere.

I was working with a chief marketing officer who was launching a new initiative. It was sexy, it was exciting and it well researched. When he presented to the larger team, they were excited. But one guy — we’ll call him Ned — was negative.

He wasn’t overtly critical, at least not at first. But his body language communicated volumes. He started with eye-rolling, moved on to heavy sighs, and by the time

tive Neds and Nellies: the active naysayers trying to derail and/or minimize your effort. If you try to overpower them, you’ll drown.

Instead, you need to move with their energy, not fight it.

If you’re a forwardthinking leader, you’re always going to have people Lisa McLeod asking you to slow down, or poking holes in your plans. my client was laying out Sometimes this feedback the implementation, Ned’s can be valuable. Other arms were folded and he was times, it’s discouraging for shaking his head. The worst you and can be damaging to part was the effect Ned had the enthusiasm of the rest of on the rest of the team. They your team. went from being excited to It’s tempting to try to worrying more about Ned’s push through negativity or response than the actual ignore it. But instead, say initiative. something like, “Ned, what We all deal with the Nega- are your thoughts on this?”

A Warm and Worry-Free Winter

This defuses the naysayer instead of letting him continue to stew in the corner.

After you give the person a chance to speak, the first step in dealing with negativity is to validate it. It seems counterintuitive, but we humans survive based on our ability to find and avoid the risk.

When you dismiss someone, their fight-or-flight response goes into overdrive, and the person doubles down on the negative.

When you validate them, it takes them off of the defensive.

Imagine Ned answers your “What are your thoughts?” question saying, “We’ve tried this before and it didn’t work.”

You could say, “It will work this time, Ned, because I have a better plan,”

but that will just make him defensive. Instead say, “Ned, you’re right, we can’t have another failure.”

Ned’s brain says “Yes! I’m right! I avoided risk.

Go me.” Ned’s brain gives him a dose of the feel-good chemical dopamine, and he becomes more emotionally engaged.

Then you can channel Ned’s energy into problemsolving by following the, “You’re right” with a question that gets him involved: “How do you think we can mitigate that risk? Can you research some solutions for us?”

Even if you know the answer, Ned will be more emotionally engaged if he finds it himself.

Asking questions instead of telling Ned to get out of your way demonstrates that

you as a leader want his insight and you value what he’s saying. It makes Ned feel included rather than like an outsider.

Our client went back to his Ned. He used questions to get Ned engaged, he validated Ned and carved out a (small) space for Ned to be part of the project.

With some positive reinforcement, Ned eventually became a valuable member of the project team.

Sometimes the best you can do is neutralize the naysayer. But other times, with a little effort, you can turn your naysayer into your champion.

MONDAY

8 p.m. on ABC 2017 American Music Awards As usual, there will be no shortage of stars as the annual, fanvoted event is televised from Los Angeles’ Microsoft Theater. Bruno Mars goes into the event as the leader with eight nominations, with the Chainsmokers, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Ed Sheeran and The Weeknd registering with five bids each. Justin Bieber, Daddy Yankee and Luis Fonsi are in the running for four awards each, and Keith Urban is up for three.

Diana Ross will receive a lifetimeachievement honor.

8 p.m. on PBS David Letterman: The Mark Twain Prize The former late-night-television master of the Top Ten List and “Stupid Pet Tricks” becomes the 20th recipient of the award for American humor in a ceremony recorded last month at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. Previous Twain Prize honorees Bill Murray and Steve Martin are among those celebrating Letterman here — as are Amy Schumer, Martin Short, Norm Macdonald, music’s Eddie Vedder, Sen. Al Franken (D.-Minn.) and, via video, former First Lady Michelle Obama.

Lucy yanking the football away just as he tries to kick it. Still, everything ends happily as the gang gathers for an unusual feast prepared by Snoopy and Woodstock. “This Is America, Charlie Brown: The Mayflower Voyagers” also is included in the hour.

THURSDAY Erin Andrews ner, as hosts Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews recap the journeys of those who have made it into the finals. A victory is big not only for the celebrity, but also for his or her dance-pro partner.

TUESDAY

WEDNESDAY

9 p.m. on ABC Dancing With the Stars Only a few remaining couples and one mirrorball trophy: One duo will walk away — or perhaps dance away, literally — with the honor as Season 25 comes to a close in the ballroom. Don’t be surprised to see many contenders voted out in past weeks return for the coronation of the win-

8 p.m. on ABC A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving In this classic, animated “Peanuts” special from 1973, the pressure is on for Charlie Brown after pushy Peppermint Patty decides she and the gang will have Thanksgiving dinner at “Chuck’s” house, First, though, he has to submit to a mortifying ritual of fall:

9 a.m. on NBC Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade The traditional holiday procession is overseen for television purposes again by “Today’s” Matt Lauer, Savannah Guthrie and Al Roker as it winds through Manhattan with the usual array of floats, character balloons and guest performers. Sara Evans, Goo Goo Dolls, Smokey Robinson, 98 Degrees, Wyclef Jean, Flo Rida, Lauren Alaina and Andy Grammer are slated to sing.

Stage shows including “Once on This Island,” “SpongeBob SquarePants — The Broadway Musical” and the Tony-winning “Dear Evan Hansen” will be highlighted.

9:30 p.m. on PBS Movie: Anne of Green Gables The long-beloved Lucy Maud Montgomery story gets a filmed-

in-Canada retelling, with Ella Ballentine in the title role of the spirited orphan who has a major impact on the advanced-age brother and sister (Martin Sheen, Sara Botsford) who take her in.

The empathetic Matthew Cuthbert proves much easier for Anne to win over than his sibling Marilla. Among the executive producers of the film is Kate Macdonald Butler, author Montgomery’s granddaughter.

FRIDAY 9 p.m. on CBS Grammys Greatest Stories: A 60th Anniversary Special Six decades’ worth of Grammy Award history is condensed into this new two-hour special, encompassing such moments as key industry figures’ collective mourning of the death of Whitney Houston — which occurred on the weekend of the Grammy ceremony in 2012 — and Paul McCartney’s re-creation of the classic Beatles album “Abbey Road.”

McCartney, Aretha Franklin, Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Celine Dion, Ed Sheeran, Elton John, Mary J. Blige, Keith Urban and Bruno Mars are among the many stars featured in new material.

SATURDAY 9 p.m. on CBS The Story of Santa Claus After a toymaker and his wife are evicted from their shop by landlords, they head to an orphanage to deliver their only remaining bag of toys. When they get lost in a storm, they find themselves at the North Pole, where they meet a group of elves. After saving an elf’s life, Santa is allowed to make one wish. The elves then use all their magic to make his wish of giving every child a toy come true. Ed Asner and Betty White provide voices in this animated special.

Community service? There’s an app for that This time of year, a lot of folks are focused on serving those in need. Others are more focused on a second serving of giblet gravy. And some of us find ourselves squarely in both camps.

If you’re looking for opportunities to serve, but you aren’t sure where to turn, there’s a new website that might provide some answers. It’s called JustServe. org.

The site is hosted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the Mormons, but it is not denominational or even particularly religious in scope. Local church leaders assure me that two young men in white

is very simple. If you go to JustServe.org (or open the app), you’ll be prompted to enter your ZIP code. There’s also a drop-down box so you can designate a radius, identifying service opportunities within 10 miles, 15 Rob Jenkins miles, etc.

email address of the contact person.

From there, you can reach out to the organization and offer your services.

When I went on JustServe.org a few minutes ago and entered my ZIP, it gave me a list of 12 different organizations within 10 miles that are looking for help right now. Expanding my search to 15 miles yielded 11 more service opportunities.

For example, the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Lawrenceville is looking for a volunteer to help customers on their sales floor.

Mending the Gap Inc., also in Lawrenceville, seeks youth volunteers to work

with seniors, either by helping with daily tasks such as cooking or cleaning or by teaching them new skills, like photography or acting.

And an organization called HealthMPowers in Norcross (get it? Health empowers?), which “promotes healthy behaviors and environments by empowering students, school staff and families to improve health and academic achievement,” needs someone with marketing experience to help them develop a more effective social media strategy.

Those are just a few of the local opportunities you can find right now on JustServe. org — opportunities for you

and your family to serve your community by serving others.

And by the way, if you’re a worthy, service-based organization looking for volunteers, there’s an app for that, too. Just go on JustServe.org, scroll down the page, and click “submit a project.”
