Watch Game Highlights from the Gladiators Win Over Milton

Johns Creek defeated Milton 14-9 on Friday, Sept. 7

The Johns Creek Gladiators came to the Eagles Nest Stadium of Milton High School with a defensive game plan that worked, but punter Will Sommers fake kick was a game changer.

His longest was 63 yards. He was singled out for specialty team honors for his performance. After Gladiators quarterback Skye Overton was sacked in the end zone for a safety by the Eagles Jerrell Knight, it didn't look too good for the visitors.

Good to Be Home for the Playoffs for 'Hooch, Glads

High School Football Predictions: Chattahoochee and Johns Creek should advance.

High School Football Predictions Habersham Central (6-4) at Chattahoochee (9-1) Habersham, which is making its first playoff in four seasons, knows points — scoring ‘em and giving ‘em up.
