Wolves QB Will Anderson passed for 356 yards and four touchdowns.
King’s Ridge Christian School was hoping to harass and sack talented Wesleyan quarterback Will Anderson on Friday night. Instead, the Wesleyan offensive line gave Anderson great protection, and Anderson put the pressure on the King’s Ridge Tigers. Anderson used his strong arm to pass for 356 yards, and the Wesleyan Wolves won, 39-13, at King’s Ridge field in Alpharetta. “We were hoping to get a lot of pressure on their quarterback,” said King’s Ridge coach Jeff Pickren. “It didn’t quite work out.” Wesleyan improved to 5-2 overall, 3-1 in Region 5-A North. Kings Ridge fell to 3-3 overall, 1-2 in the division. “He always plays great,” said Wesleyan coach Franklin Pridgen of Anderson. “He’s a first-year starter but he plays like an upper …

The Wolves win was especially sweet after last week's disappointing loss.
The Wesleyan Wolves prevailed at home in a defensive battle against the Fellowship Christian Friday night, beating the Paladins 14-7. It was a sweet victory after last week's 14-0 shut out loss to Holy Innocents'. Wesleyan saved its best for last scoring the winning touchdown with just 8:46 left to play. Zander Yost ran the ball in for the TD and Eric Sunderman, who is filling in as quarterback for the injured Will Anderson, kicked the extra point. The Wolves looked strong moving the ball down the field with running plays, but several pass plays resulted in turnovers. After the end of the first quarter the game was scoreless, then just minutes into the second quarter, Wolves had a chance for a field goal, but Sunderman's kick missed the …

Our Peachtree Corners Picks; Wolves and Blue Devils are favored to win.
Every week, I pick high-school football games that are played in Patch coverage areas from Stone Mountain to Cumming. Check out this week's predictions, then let us know how you think your team will fare in the comment box below ... if you dare. Last week's record: 20-5. Overall record: 77-20. Are you ready for another round of picks? Fellowship Christian at Wesleyan: Eyebrow-raising is the way to react to Wesleyan’s shutout loss to Holy Innocents’ last week. The Wolves are used to putting points up on the board, and, well, what’s up with that? Fellowship (2-1), which lost 37-25 to King’s Ridge last week, would take a big step if it can beat the Wolves, a state semifinalist last year. That may be too tall a task. Wesleyan 27, Fellowship …

Wesleyan gets to show its strength this week; Norcross takes on rival Duluth.
I was leaving church Wednesday night when I heard the beautiful words: “Thank God for football season.” “Amen,” I thought, as I felt a comfortably cool breeze hit me under the striking golden hues of sunset. “That’s right,” I was still thinking. The summer heat has broken and become Chamber-of-Commerce quality. College and pro games have started, there’s a game on TV almost every night and our favorite sons are playing high-school ball every weekend in our neighborhood stadiums. I took a deep breath to take it all in. How great it is! “Football season is beautiful,” I said in agreement with my fellow church member. She rolled her eyes. The mother then rattled off what it’s like to have a young boy playing in a youth league in Gwinnett …
