Another Friday means another battle on the grid iron. This week the Class AAAAAA match up pitting the Mill Creek Hawks against the Peachtree Ridge Lions. The Lions came out pretty strong in the first half racking up 10 points and keeping the Hawks scoreless. Whatever happened during halftime in the locker room coach Shannon Jarvis got his team motivated as the Hawks scored 20 points in the second half. Mill Creek won the contest 20-10. I photographed the game for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
