Georgia Tech junior Lawrence Austin, who intercepted two passes and forced a fumble in a 30-20 victory over No. 18 Virginia Tech on Saturday, is the ACC defensive back of the week. For which Georgia high school did Austin play and lead to the Class AA championship game in 2013? (Answer Wednesday)

Answer to Monday's question: Collins Hill defeated South Cobb 70-68 in the 2004 first round in what had been the highest-scoring playoff game in state history. The record was broken with Lowndes' 92-61 victory over Hillgrove last week.
