North Georgia MS loses to Anderson Cavaliers MS 28-8
The Falcons MS started the game strong as they scored first on a long Josh Warren touchdown of 65 yards on their first possession, however, after that the Cavaliers were able to shut down the Falcons and begin their comeback. The Cavaliers scored early in the 2nd quarter to tie the score at 8-8 and that is the way the first half ended. In the 3rd quarter, the Falcons were driving but a pitchout to the running back was fumbled and caught in the air by a Cavalier defender who took it in for a touchdown. This gave the Cavaliers the lead. The Cavaliers next score came of a mishandled Falcon snap on a punt that the punter had to fall on, giving Anderson great field position. Finally the Cavaliers were successful on a pass play where the wide receiver got behind a Falcon cornerback, caught the ball and ran in for the score.

2010 GFC Middle School Football Season
Sandy Springs Stallions win 2010 GFC MS Championship
Sandy Springs Stallions defeated the North Georgia Falcons (GFC Regular Season Champions) 30-14 to win the first GFC Middle School Championship. The only loss for the Stallions was to the Falcons 8 to 7 during the regular season.
The Stallions took the opening kickoff and drove down the field to score. A 26 yard run by #4 Kevin Makowski set up the first touchdown by Shakur Jackson. The Stallions missed the 2 point conversion. On the Falcons first possession they fumbled and the ball was recovered by Stallions’ Devin Straghn. This led to a second Shakur Jackson touchdown from 52 yards out. The 2 point conversion was successful when Mike Love ran it into the end zone. A 36 yard run by Love also set up the final touchdown of the first half by Jackson on a 3 yard run with the point after by Parker Dennis. In the second half, on 4th and 6 , Tyler Reid completed a 32 yard pass to Straghn to set up the Stallions’ final touchdown, again by Jackson on a 6 yard run. QB Makowski was good on the 2 point attempt.
North Georgia was able to score twice in the fourth quarter to make the score 30-14. Congratulations to both teams for a great season!

The North Atlanta Saints traveled on the road and got their first win of the season this afternoon against a tough Georgia Force team, 18-0. QB Clay Poer threw 3 TD passes to RB/WR Jovan Dennis for 59 yds, 65 yds and 32 yds. Poer finished the day 5 of 8 for 151 yards passing and 3 TD’s. The tandem RB duo of Micheal Gilbert (6 carries for 68 yds) and Jovan Dennis (7 carries for 51 yards) at RB wore down the Force defense. The Saints defense also had a great day led by DE Brendan Sanborn (2 sacks, 1 tackle for loss) and NT Adam Braswell (1/2 sack and 4 tackles for losses) while Clay Poer and Jovan Dennis came away with 1 INT a piece. The Saints first win was an example of a “total” team effort by all 15 players stepping up and not giving up.

In an exciting GFC Middle School League game between unbeaten teams, North Ga Falcon Middle School defeated the Dominion Christian Lions by a score of 12 – 6. In the opening quarter, Falcon QB #11 Tevan Valdez scored on a 34 yard run that put the Falcons up 6 – 0. PAT failed. It was pretty much a defensive battle throughout the whole first half with North Georgia scoring on a 54 yard scamper by Valdez to put the Falcons up 12 – 6 . PAT failed.
In the second half, Dominion broke a 70 yard TD run to bring them within 6 points of the Falcons. PAT failed. With a rugged defense the Falcons were able to hold off Dominion until the 4th quarter at which time mental and physical fatigue began to set in on the Falcons. Dominion received the ball on their own 35 yd line and began marching the ball down field. With 1 minute left to go in the game, Dominion QB dropped back to pass and fired a bullet to an open receiver, but North Georgia’s Valdez broke on the ball, went high in the air, bagging the ball for a Falcon interception. With 55 seconds remaining, NG ran the clock out and won their 3rd game of the season, leaving them tied for first place in the GFC Middle School League and still undefeated.
Valdez led in rushing yards with 135 and 7 carries and 2 TD’s. Austin Rothenberger had 41 yards with 9 carries. Luke Jarret led the defense with 4 tackles.
