This week’s gridiron match up pitted the Hillgrove Hawks against the South Cobb Eagles. It was Hillgrove’s senior night and the Hawks came out with a bang. In fact Hillgrove didn’t allow a single point until late in the fourth quarter. South Cobb tried to stop the freight train that was the Hawks’ offense but couldn’t seem to get it together. Hillgrove put up 37 points while South Cobb could only muster 14. I photographed the game for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
