Norcross looks to keep its focus this week on winless Berkmar with two big Region 7-AAAAAA football games — at home against North Gwinnett and at Brookwood — ahead the following two weeks.

Joshua Burks continued his stellar play in the comeback win, carrying 15 times for 76 yards and two touchdowns. He also 10 tackles (one for loss) on defense.
The Blue Devils’ other defensive leaders in the latest win were Rahja Widsom (11 tackles, four for losses), Carter Luckie (eight tackles, three for losses, one sack), Chase Huff (eight tackles, one for loss), Antoine Lewis (nine tackles, two for losses, one sack), Anthony Allen (nine tackles, three for losses), Miles Davis (nine tackles, one for loss) and Gerardo Telomico (two tackles for losses).
Elijah Frey also was a factor with five punts for a 48.6-yard average, putting all five inside the 20-yard line.
