Discovery opens this month as the 19th football-playing public high school in Gwinnett County. The school's nickname is the Titans, and the colors are navy, silver and lime green. Discovery will be the seventh Gwinnett high school to begin varsity football since 2000. Of the previous six, which ones won region or state titles within five years of opening their doors? (Answer Thursday)

Buck's Lanier teams won state titles in 1931, 1936, 1947 and 1948. He served in the Army during World War II.
