Football team misses playoffs with loss to Chamblee

Miller Grove football found itself in a must-win situation as it closed out its regular season against Chamblee. The matchup was virtually a playoff game, as the winner would claim the fourth playoff spot from Region 6-AAAA and continue its season. The Wolverines (5-4-1) missed out on the postseason as they fell 14-0 to Chamblee. The Bulldogs got the No. 4 seed and became the first team all year to shut out Miller Grove. A week earlier, the Wolverine offense was hitting on all cylinders as Miller Grove beat Lakeside-DeKalb 71-6. Stephen Hill and Kenneth Gilstrap accounted for two touchdowns apiece in the rout. … Hill, who was a standout wide receiver for the football team, will soon be hitting the hardwood for the boys basketball team as one of its top forwards. Hill returns along with guard Mfon Udofia, as part of a Wolverine basketball team that made it to the Class 4A Semifinals a year ago. … Mario Morales came in 41st place (20:08) and Devon Autry finished 52nd (21:22) at the Boys Region 6-AAAA Cross Country Championships.
