Brookwood, South Gwinnett, Grayson Lose in Football Season Openers
The Broncos and Rams played at the Corky Kell Classic on Saturday, while the Comets went against a Florida school at Norcross.
Brookwood, South Gwinnett and Grayson lost in their 2013 season opening games Saturday (Aug. 24).
The Broncos and Rams both played at the Georgia Dome for the Corky Kell Classic. Grayson fell to Colquitt County 6-21 and McEachern defeated Brookwood 31-10.
The Comets played at Norcross High, where they lost 21-34 to Lincoln High from Florida.
The South Gwinnett game was televised on ESPN, as part of the network's annual High School Football Kickoff Series. It was the first time that Georgia had teams in the kickoff series, and this year two teams from Gwinnett -- Norcross High and South Gwinnett High -- played. Despite their undefeated season last year, the Blue Devils lost 0-55 against Florida's Booker T. Washington High.
Next Friday (Aug. 30), Grayson is back at home playing against North Gwinnett, while South Gwinnett and Brookwood are on a break until Sept. 6. Shiloh will kick off its season opener that Friday, too, against Meadowcreek at home.
