North Gwinnett travels to Peachtree Ridge, and Collins Hill tackles Mill Creek. Playoffs are in the future for some of them.
It will be all about playoff seedings and bragging rights Friday (November 9) as Suwanee teams end the 2012 football regular season. North Gwinnett travels to the Lions Den to take on Peachtree Ridge, and Collins Hill visits Mill Creek. Norcross already has clinched the 7-AAAAAA title, ending North's three-year run, and so the Devils earn the top seed. North (6-1 in the region) also has sewn up a playoff spot and the No. 2 seed, because of its wins over Collins Hill and Mill Creek (both 5-2 in the region). So that Collins Hill-Mill Creek game will be to determine the region's final two spots before playoffs begin next weekend. Peachtree Ridge (4-3 in the region) can't get in even with an upset of North, because its losses all were to teams…
