GHSF Daily reported Monday that Milton and Alpharetta will play this Friday in the first game between ranked opponents from north Fulton County since No. 5 Riverwood beat No. 6 North Springs 22-15 in the final game of the 1984 regular season. Who were the coaches of those Riverwood and North Springs teams? Hints: The Riverwood coach started Chattahoochee's program in 1991. The North Springs coach started Johns Creek's program in 2009. Both finished their careers at Chattahoochee. (Answer Thursday)
Answer to Tuesday's question: Grayson was the No. 1-ranked team that lost its opener in 2016 and came back to win a state title. Grayson lost to IMG Academy, which later effectively was banned from playing GHSA teams for being a restricted member of Florida's state association. The GHSA in April removed wording in that bylaw, and now Georgia teams can schedule IBM and any other school that is a member of its state association.
