Football Recap: Arabia Mountain Shuts Out Dunwoody

By Mark Brock

The Arabia Mountain Rams shut out the Dunwoody Wildcats 48-0 on Saturday to assure the program of its first winning season in five seasons of football.

The Rams sit at 6-3 on the year and still have hopes of a state playoff berth but need to defeat Lakeside and need to get some help from Miller Grove against Martin Luther King this week to earn a spot.

A 13-9 Mays halftime score held up in the second half as the No. 4 ranked Stephenson Jaguars fell in a key Region 6-AAAAA contest at Lakewood Stadium in Atlanta. The Raiders (7-2) knocked Stephenson (7-2) out of second place in the region standings and opened the door for a region championship game against Tucker at Lakewood on Friday.

Yaquis “Duke” Shelley scored four touchdowns to lead the No. 1 ranked Tucker Tigers to a 60-34 Region 6-AAAAA victory over the Martin Luther King Jr. Lions at Hallford Stadium on Friday night.

The Miller Grove Wolverines rallied from a 14-0 fourth quarter deficit to defeat the Southwest DeKalb Panthers 16-14 on Friday night at Panthersville. The Wolverines improved to 4-5 on the season by scoring a pair of fourth quarter touchdowns a safety to rally for the win over the Panthers (2-7).
