Week 12 high school football scoreboard, state playoff brackets

Top-10 Class 7A teams Grayson and Norcross overcame regular-season losses to win region titles Friday night.

Norcross’s region loss actually happened Friday – to North Gwinnett 51-41 – but the Blue Devils stayed close enough in points to win Region 7-7A’s No. 1 seed in the kind of three-way tiebreaker that can spice the final weekend of the regular season.

Coffee, Bainbridge, Trion and Portal were others that claimed championships. So did Toombs County, Pierce County and Appling County from the same Region 3-2A in south Georgia.

Grayson, ranked No. 8 in 7A, settled things in a more straightforward way by beating No. 7 Parkview 41-14 on the road to finish first in Region 4-7A. Grayson lost its region opener to Newton on Sept. 29 but won its final four region games, all must-win games, to claim its eighth region title in 10 seasons.

Game stories and photo galleries will be posted all weekend after the games are over.
