There was plenty of red and black on the Blue Devils football field, but fans didn't seem to mind as the Atlanta Falcons took over the high school field for the "Friday Night Lights" scrimmage last week.

A number of spectators in the stands were Norcross High School supporters including Carol and Blake Johnson. The couple had triple reasons for attending the scrimmage. Their love of Falcons football, and their daughter, Katie plays in the Blue Devils Marching Band while son, Hunter, plays on the lacrosse team.

In the free event the Atlanta Falcons ran drills and started an 11 on 11 scrimmage before lightning and ominous weather sent fans and players home in a hurry.
