Cops versus firefighters on the gridiron

Atlanta firefighters and DeKalb County cops will spar for glory Saturday in a flag football championship game.

The two top-seeded teams in the Metro Atlanta Public Safety Flag Football League will play at 1 p.m. on the gridiron at James Hallford Memorial Stadium, 3789 Memorial College Avenue, Clarkston.

The marching bands at Southwest DeKalb and Stephenson high schools will perform at half time. Tickets are $5, but free for children nine and under. The league includes public safety agencies from Atlanta and Clayton, DeKalb, Henry and Gwinnett counties.
