It was another successful meet for
the Mill Creek swim and dive Hawks,
as they took part last weekend in the
Clody Memorial Invitational at the
Mountain Park Aquatic Center in
Stone Mountain.
In Friday’s diving invitational,

Boys 6 and 11 dives. New school

by Meghan Gordon in the 11-dive
competition.
On Saturday, winners included
Caroline Roloff in the girls’ 200-yard
freestyle and the girls’ 100-yard
freestyle, Sarah Miller in the girls’
200-yard IM, and Christian Cardona
in the boys' 100-yard Butterfly. The
team of Savannah Miller, Lindsey
Flammang, Kaitlin Bishop and
Roloff won in the girls’ 400-yard
freestyle relay.
New individual state qualifying
times were set by Cowgill (diving),
Roloff (200-yard freestyle, 100-yard
freestyle), Matt Tumblom (50-yard
freestyle), and by the 400-yard free
style relay winning team.
Next up for the Hawks is the Cobb/
Gwinnett Challenge on Saturday at
Mountain Park.
Hockey
Mill Creek’s Ice Hawks defeat Northview
The Mill Creek Ice Hawks hockey team knocked
off another opponent this week, with a 5-3 victory
against Northview on Sunday.
The Ice Hawks got off to a quick start in the first
period, scoring first against Northview with just under
six minutes remaining. Mill Creek would score again
around two minutes later, then Northview picked up
their first point of the night with just under three min
utes remaining. But the Ice Hawks moved further out
with a goal with less than 20 seconds left on the clock
in the first period.
The Ice Hawks held fast in the second period in a
game that turned aggressive, seeing several penalties
and skirmishes on the ice. Regardless, Mill Creek
stood their ground, and the score stayed at 3-1 at the
end of the period.
It was more of the same in the third quarter, but
the Ice Hawks defended well, and held Northview at
bay. Early in the period, a Mill Creek goal moved the
Ice Hawks out further into the lead, 4-1. Northview
answered with a goal of their own, but Mill Creek
fired back to make the score 5-2. With just over three
minutes remaining, Northview made another charge,
but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Mill Creek
lead.
With the win, the Ice Hawks are now 6-1-0.
Basketball “ continued from page IB
night, with four, and tied with Simmons and Williams
for steals with two each.
With the win, the Lady Hawks remain unbeaten,
with an 8-0 overall record, and 4-0 in the region.
The team looks to remain unbeaten Friday night, as
they play host to Duluth. The Wildcats enter Friday
night’s match-up with a 5-1 record, and 3-0 in the
region.
“Duluth is very big, and they’re pretty athletic,”
Simmons said. “Physically, it’s probably going to be
the most challenging game that we’ve seen so far,
just from the stand point of what they can do with
their size and their athleticism. It’ll be a different
match up than we’ve seen in the last few games.
“It’ll be interesting to see. We’re going to have
to battle for rebounds, and really move our feet on
defense. It’s going to be tough, but it’ll be a good
challenge for us.”
It also marks Mill Creek’s final home game before
the Christmas break. Tip-off is scheduled for 6 PM.

Brookwood Inv. ahead for Mill Creek
The Mill Creek wrestling team
continues to get it’s footing under
it. They took part in the Peachtree
Ridge Duals last week, winning
two of their seven match ups dur
ing the event.
Head wrestling coach David
Landis said he feels his athletes
are wrestling better.
“We were in with Gilmer, and a
team from Tennessee that ended
up winning the whole thing,”
he said. “Saturday, we wrestled
Woodland, Miller Grove, Grayson
and North Lorsyth. We were closer
with Grayson and North Lorsyth
than we were last week. We were
also close with Woodland.”
Landis says the main thing right
now is that his team is getting
where it needs to be.
“We’re getting guys into the
weight class they need to be in,”
he said. “We’re getting some of
our guys back that were out with
injuries, and we’re setting the
line up. We’re getting to the
point now to where I think we’re
going to be all right in the future.
They’re working hard and getting
better, and that’s all we can ask.”
Landis says this weekend’s
Brookwood Christmas Invitational
will be “a whole different ball-
game.” Rather than the dual for
mat that his wrestlers have been
experiencing, the approach to the
invitational is different.
“Lriday night you’ll wrestle
round robin for seeding purpos
es,” Landis said. “Then you’ll
come back and wrestle in the
tournament on Saturday. So if
you have four or five individuals
that do well, then the team will
do well. They accumulate points
that way.”
Landis says this format could
be better for his athletes
“Lor us, with eight or nine good
wrestlers, that would be better,
because you’re giving up some
weight in the weight classes in a
dual meet,” he said. “They all can
score points.”
Landis says right now, gaining
experience is the key.
“We’re still growing, we’re still
getting more kids out and getting
experience,” he said. “They’ll get
enough by the time area comes
around. There will be a lot of
wrestling for them.”
