Camiel Grant, Newton: Camiel Grant and his coaching staff dialed up a near perfect game plan to help take down Parkview on the road Friday night. His Rams used several trick plays throughout the game that helped lead to touchdowns and the win keeps their playoff hopes alive as a result.
Dante Williams, Archer: Trailing by 20 points at halftime, something clicked for Dante Williams’s Archer Tigers in the second half against South Gwinnett. Led by senior quarterback Justin Johnson, the Tigers out-scored the Comets 28-0 in the second half to hand Williams the first staple win of his head coaching career.
Chad Alligood, Northside: Call the Eagles the road warriors. Northside entered play Friday 2-1 in road contests, including a huge win at North Cobb, and their road success continued. Led by head coach Chad Alligood, the Eagles trailed Lee County by 20 points in the fourth quarter and stormed back to win 23-20 in one of the biggest comebacks of the 2022 season.
Joe Kegler, Spencer: Led by second-year head coach Joe Kegler, Spencer won its fifth straight game Friday night and did so by defeating ranked Northeast 14-13. The Owls are now a perfect 5-0 in Region 2-AA and are in first place with two games to play.
