Great job Norcross...
I could not help but notice though that the championship game is on a Sunday according to your article above. Is this indeed true or an error?
According to GHSA rule 2.91, it specifically states "Sunday competition is prohibited for GHSA regular season or playoff contests."
I remember a few years ago when Berkmar did that, I believe the coach was David Boyd, he was suspended for several games.
