There was much anticipation this year for the annual “Battle of Five-Forks Trickum”. This classic Georgia rivalry dates back to 1982 and, located just six miles from each other, a lot of players on both teams have grown up together. Brookwood and Parkview both had 5-2 records going into the game, and with both teams equally stacked, this game would prove to be a true exciting rivalry.
