Johns Creek in just second year as varsity football program.

In just its second year as a varsity football program, Johns Creek High School is off to the state playoffs after its win against the Forsyth Central last night. Johns Creek had a memorable senior night with great performances on both sides of the ball.  Offensively, the team once again showed a balanced rushing and passing attack (342 total yards) led by junior quarterback Skye Overton (89 yards rushing/49 passing) and by sophomore running back Austin Pack (81 yards). Johns Creek scored in every quarter and topped off the evening with an explosive third quarter where the Gladiators scored 21 points.  Defensively, Johns Creek was dominant, allowing Forsyth Central to score only after the game was well in hand late in the third and fourth …
