Let’s get it on.

Newton at Shiloh: The play the only game in town this weekend, with Snellville’s other two teams (Brookwood and South Gwinnett) idle. The game marks the debut of head coach Brian Montgomery, who brings an exciting pro-style offense to the program. The Generals are coming off a 1-9 season, but there’s an enthusiasm with Montgomery’s arrival. Newton went 6-4 last year, including a 24-6 win over Shiloh. But with several starters lost to graduation, the Rams  look ripe for the upset. Why not? Shiloh 20, Newton 17.
