continued from page IB
on the outcome,” he said. “Our kids
looked them square in the eye, and
didn’t back down the entire game.
They played just as hard in the last
play as they did the first play. Our
kids responded very well to the
challenge of playing a team like
Norcross. I’m proud of that.
“Our kids showed us they can
play at a high level. We played
at our level, and made Norcross
match it. We didn’t try to play
against Norcross, we just played
very well, and made them play
their best game to beat us.”
Up Around The Bend
With Norcross behind them, the
Hawks now look to concentrate
on Friday night’s matchup with
Peachtree Ridge. The Lions are
5-2 overall, and 4-1 in the region.
They’re coming off of a loss to
North Gwinnett, 31-19.
In their previous meeting,
Peachtree Ridge defeated the
Hawks 21-13 last year. Jarvis is
quick to point out that the chal
lenge his team faces Friday night
is just as big as the one they faced
last week.
“It’s a carbon copy of what we
just saw. They’ve got great play
ers, they’re well coached, and it’s
another great challenge. I was
pleased with Friday night, and
I’m anxious to see if our kids can
do it another week in a row. It’ll
take our best effort to beat a good
Peachtree Ridge team.
“Our kids showed us Friday that
they’re capable of playing well
and playing with the elite teams in
the state. That’s what we’re play
ing against, the elite teams, not just
in our region, but also in the state.
That’s the level we want this pro
gram to be at, and we’re going to
have to beat one of these teams to
gamer that kind of recognition.”
Game time in Suwanee is set for
7:30 p.m. Forecasts call for pos
sible showers, with temperatures
in the lower 60s to upper 50s at
game time.

ALL IN THE FAMILY
Husband and wife team Jimmy and Eeman Heisler go up against each other on the track at Saturday’s
October Bikefest at Atlanta Dragway.
Bikefest held at Atlanta Dragway
BY TIM GLOVER
Hundreds of motorcycle enthusi
asts and even more spectators came
to Atlanta Dragway Saturday for
the First Annual October Bikefest,
a benefit event for the American
Cancer Society. All proceeds were
donated to the American Cancer
Society.
The event featured the Quarter
Mile Challenge, non-stop test and
tune runs on the track and a large
bike show, inflatable slides, a rock
climbing wall, many different ven
dor booths, and live music.
One of the main attractions was
the Bike Show. All brands of bikes
were welcomed, and a total of nine
classes were contested for this
event. Two husband and wife teams
did well in the show. Tracy Addison
of Toccoa brought his Suzuki M109
Boulevard Cruiser to the event and
won first place in Big Twin Cruiser.
His wife, Sharon, also enjoyed a
first place in the Woman Rider class
with her bike.
“I finally won something this
year,” exclaimed a happy Jimmy
Heisler, an Atlanta Dragway regu
lar who lives in Woodstock. Heisler
won the 750cc and under class
with his 2000 ZX6R Kawasaki, and
his wife Eeman took second with
her Kawasaki in the Woman Rider
Class. Another Atlanta Dragway
regular, Paul Cavanaugh, picked
up two second place awards, one
in Sport Bike, and the other in
Mild Custom. Two former Atlanta
Dragway racers enjoyed wins in
their class, Richard Lewis (Vintage
& Classic) and Bert Chapman
(Sportster). First place winners
received a plaque and a Year One
gift certificate, and second place
winners were awarded a plaque.
Other first place award winners
were Daniel Taylor (llOOcc &
over), Tim Farmer (Mild Custom),
Mike Jones (Radical Custom), and
Hector Santiago (Sport Bike).
Many of the show bikes did much
more than look pretty. On track,
many of the show bikes showed just
how quick they could go. Quarter
mile elapsed times for all partici
pants varied mostly from the nine
second range to the mid teens.
The “Big Easy” husband and
wife team of Jimmy and Eeman
Heisler did well in the show as well
as on the track. Eeman may not
have had the faster bike, but when
they ran against each other, she
smoked Jimmy at the starting line
with a very good .012-second reac
tion time. His was a less spectacu
lar .199-second time. Their elapsed
times were 10.51 seconds at 125.13
mph for Jimmy and 12.05 at 118.52
mph for Eeman.
Lady Hawks ready for tournament play
The Mill Creek Lady Hawks volleyball area season
ended with a runner-up status last week, as they were
defeated by the Norcross Blue Devils for the area
7-AAAAA championship. Norcross won in sets of
25-23, 13-25, 16-25, 24-26.
Despite the loss, Mill Creek rounded out their season
with a 4-1 area record, and 22-20 overall.
The Lady Hawks now move forward to state tourna
ment play, which is set to begin Saturday. Mill Creek
will start their tournament out with a matchup against
Houston County in Roswell, at 4:30 Saturday after
noon.
