Collins Hill Hopes to Keep Win Streak Alive in Playoffs

By Scott Bernarde, Patch

The Collins Hill High School football team is on a roll.

The Eagles are 10-1, ranked No. 7 in the state by Georgia High School Football Daily, and winners of five straight games.

Collins Hill romped over Walton 41-7 last week in the first round of the Georgia High School Association Class 6A football playoffs.

Collins Hill plays at Alpharetta this Friday in the second round. Alpharetta (9-2) is the top seed from Region 6. Game time is 7:30 p.m. at Alpharetta Stadium.

The Eagles have been impressive in its winning streak, scoring 68, 53, 49, 45 and 41 points in consecutive games. Running back Tyler Henderson (1,400 rushing yards) and quarterback Tyler Herman (2,500 passing yards) are the statistical leaders, according to the football daily.

Alpharetta, which won its first playoff game in last week’s 41-23 first-round win over South Gwinnett, is led by quarterback Austin King (2,200 passing yards).

The winner will play either McEachern or Hughes in the quarterfinals.
