Bankston came in to lead the offensive attack at quarterback and hit T. Henson for a 48-yard TD pass.  N. Woodlief came off the bench to rush for 62 yards on 7 carries and was one broken tackle away from a touchdown of his own. 

The Hawks came out on top in a fantastic football game against Southwest Georgia Academy, 30-28, improving their record to 7-1 overall and 2-1 in the region. The offensive line of T. Bean, T. Nix, E.

Trammell had 67 yards on 15 tough carries. Quarterback J. Bonner had 58 yards on 16 carries with a touchdown while also connecting with R. Lynch for a 10-yard touchdown pass.

The defense was led by Trammell who seemed too much for the Warrior runners, ending the night with 13 tackles and also causing a fumble in the fourth quarter which the Hawks offense turned into a touchdown. Bonner proved to be the hero of the night, intercepting a pass in the endzone with 7 seconds left on the clock, sealing the deal for the Hawks.

Emotions were high and the Hawks would not be denied in this game. Thanks to the cheerleaders for leading the "rowdy" group of fans all night long. Hawks players and fans travelled 3 ½ hours and were louder than the home team on their homecoming night!

The Hawks are headed to the playoffs! The Heritage School earned a spot in the state playoffs after a 45-14 win over Brookwood on Senior night, bringing their record to 8-1 for the year. After going into halftime tied at 14, Coach Clay and the Hawk defense came out on a mission and it paid off.

Brookwood only got one first down in the second half, and only because of a sideline penalty. D. Trammell proved to be the leader on defense finishing with 12 solo tackles, while G. Parker had 10 and recovered 2 Brookwood fumbles.

The Hawks offense was able to convert on all of the opponent's mistakes with incredible play by our offensive line. C. Rich rushed for 203 yards and four touchdowns, while Trammell finished with 104 yards and a touchdown. J. Bonner punched in a sneak from one yard out and converted guard T. Nix got in on the fun, scoring from 7 yards out.

The Hawks are in the playoffs, but must play well against a very fast and athletic Arlington team to have a chance to host a playoff game for the first time in school history.

This has been a year of firsts and the Hawks may add two more to the list; first ever win over Arlington and first time hosting a playoff game.
