North finally got a win last Friday by edging Johns Creek, 14-13, thanks to a blocked extra point on the Gladiators’ first touchdown. The Raiders were already struggling before Zac Slaton and Mason Quarles were lost for the season with injuries, but Jesus Torres stepped up against Johns Creek to rush for 101 yards and a touchdown and fullback Jamal Davenport added 65 yards. Turnovers have killed North all season, but the Raiders were able to sustain another drive just before halftime, converting two fourth downs, before Lance McGonigle scored from 12 yards out.
