After an off week, Norcross’ football team looks to build on its strong start under new head coach Corey Richardson.
The Blue Devils held on for a 16-12 victory over Lanier in the opener, and followed it up two weeks ago with an impressive, 45-28 win at Mill Creek. It was the program’s first win over Mill Creek since 2020 — it had lost four in a row and eight of the last nine to Mill Creek.
