Mill Creek Roughs Up Alpharetta, 42-7

Six turnovers in the first half sealed the ' fate as they fell to the Mill Creek Hawks, 42-7, on Friday, Sept. 2 in Alpharetta.

The Raiders put on a good return game, but weren't able to make good use of the favorable field position.

The Hawks, however, made great use of the six turnovers in the first half, scoring often. Interceptions by the Mill Creek secondary stopped several promising drives by the Raiders, who had great field position on almost every kickoff. Alpharetta backs and receivers couldn't seem to hang on to the ball when they were heading downfield.

Mill Creek coach Shannon Jarvis said his team executed well in every aspect of the game, including defense, coverage, passing, rushing and PATs. He wouldn't single out players who excelled in the game, preferring to praise the team effort.
