STORY 2: Ball Ground Leaders Looking to Fill Zoning Board of Appeals
The Ball Ground City Council has approved a 120-day moratorium on accepting applications for variances or other appeals within the scope of the city's Board of Zoning Appeals. The decision was made unanimously to allow time for adjustments to the city's ordinance in compliance with recent state laws and to fill vacant positions on the zoning board of appeals. The existing ordinance's timeline for appeals and the new state law's requirements do not align. Additionally, the city council appointed one member to the board, but two vacancies remain. The council also approved a vending machine ordinance that regulates their location, size, lighting, security, maintenance, permitting process, and penalties.
STORY 3: Woodstock Woman Competing on CBS Game Show Airing Monday
April Craig, a retired flight attendant from Woodstock, is participating in CBS's "Lotería Loca," a competition inspired by the traditional Latin game Lotería. In the show, two contestants compete in a bingo-style game to get three-in-a-row, or "Lotería," for a chance to win $1 million. The game includes "Loca Cards" that introduce interactive challenges and the opportunity to earn more cash. April Craig found the experience enjoyable, though it came with stress and pressure. The episode featuring her will air on CBS and Paramount+ and will be hosted by Mexican actor Jaime Camil.

STORY 4: Reinhardt Looks for Third Straight Win in Trip to St. Andrews
The Reinhardt Eagles are aiming to extend their winning streak to three as they face St. Andrews. They recently beat Georgetown 41-35 with a strong offensive performance, totaling 500 yards of offense, including 266 passing yards. Quarterback Taylor Jackson played a key role, throwing four touchdowns and rushing for two more. Running back Jerdavian Colbert has been consistent in the Eagles' backfield. The upcoming game against St. Andrews, who have struggled this season, offers Reinhardt a chance to continue their success. Despite the win over Pikeville, Reinhardt's defense is focused on improving after allowing a season-high in points, backed by a history of creating turnovers.
STORY 5: FOOTBALL UPDATE
Sequoyah displayed resilience and teamwork, securing a 31-27 victory against Creekview in a crucial Region football match. Their "hold the rope" mentality and trust in each other played a vital role, with a late-game drive sealing the win. Sequoyah improved to 3-1 in the region, while Creekview also stands at 3-1. Cherokee faced a challenging loss to Osborne in the region, with turnovers costing them in a 28-7 defeat. Despite a strong defensive effort and a second-half touchdown, Cherokee couldn't overcome the turnovers. Cherokee is set to face third-ranked Walton next, while Osborne aims to clinch a playoff berth against Wheeler.
