STORY 6: No. 7 Collins Hill Rallies Past No. 6 Mill Creek in Defensive Battle
In a thrilling defensive showdown, Collins Hill edged past Mill Creek 13-12, thanks to a game-sealing interception by Stephen Barjolo.

Despite being outgained 291-181, Collins Hill's defense held strong, forcing three turnovers and shutting out Mill Creek in the second half. The win keeps Collins Hill's region title hopes alive, needing Mill Creek to defeat Buford for a potential three-way tie.
