A region championship will not be on the line Friday night at W. Clair Harris Stadium.

Only one team has an outside chance of making the postseason at this point in the season.

Despite those facts, don’t expect less than 100 percent effort from the players — and coaches — who represent Winder-Barrow High School and Apalachee High School when they square off in the eighth annual Battle of Barrow football contest. [Full Story »] 

The Winder-Barrow High School Lady Bulldogg cross country team will go for their third region title in as many seasons Saturday when they compete at the International Horse Park in Conyers.

In addition, standout runner Amanda Cope will seek her third individual region title in as many seasons.

Coach Michael Lofton said the Lady Bulldoggs are predicted to be at the top again although Flowery Branch will likely be strong competition. The Lady Falcons defeated WBHS by a point in the first meet of the 2011 season. [Full Story »] 

This week’s opponent for Winder-Barrow High School has been somewhat hot and cold during 2011.

The Salem High School Seminoles have some big wins but also some onesided losses. Still, WBHS coach David Wagner knows his team is facing an opponent with plenty of capability this week on the road. [Full Story »] 

On an almost picturesque morning, the Winder-Barrow High School cross country teams hosted their own invitational Saturday. With several quality programs competing on the course at Bramlett Elementary School, the WBHS teams held their own and turned in more solid performances as the upcoming Region 8-AAAA meet draws into view.

“I was pleased with the whole day,” said WBHS boys coach Michael Lofton. “The meet went well. We were on schedule the whole time. I was pleased with the number of teams we had and by the level of the runners. I was also happy with our performances. Those who ran, ran very well.”

The WBHS Lady Bulldoggs were second behind Landmark Christian. The two schools ran away from the field as Landmark had 38 points followed by the Lady Bulldoggs with 40. Druid Hills was a distant third with 94.

After his team turned in perhaps the best defensive performance of the last two seasons against Heritage last week, David Wagner hopes his team can continue to improve in all areas this Friday when Loganville visits W. Clair Harris Stadium.

The Winder-Barrow High School football team held undefeated Heritage to 21 points last Friday in a 21-0 setback. Wagner knows, however, the road doesn’t get much smoother this week.

“Loganville has a very athletic quarterback who throws and runs well,” Wagner said. “He is the catalyst for their offense. They are solid at the skill positions. I believe they are better than their record indicates. They are just another solid team in our region.”

“It was a great weekend,” said WBHS boys coach Michael Lofton. “There were perfect weather conditions and we couldn’t have asked for a better course. Our boys really stepped up and our top seven were all under 18 minutes.” [Full Story »]
