Wins on Tuesday night could match neighboring rivals for the state high school championship in girls soccer.
Gwinnett high-school sports fans might think of football first when it comes to Brookwood vs. Parkview. But the county's fiercest rivalry often spills into other sports, sometimes all the way to the state finals. Brookwood and Parkview have faced each other for state championships in baseball (2012, won by Parkview, football (2002, won by Parkview), boys soccer (2001, they tied) and girls soccer (2003, also a tie). It could happen again this week. The schools are one win away from meeting each other for the Class AAAAAA girls soccer championship this weekend. Parkview faces South Forsyth Tuesday, May 14, at 7 p.m., the same time Brookwood is at Harrison. The schools, located just six miles apart along Five Forks-Trickum Road, finished 1-2 …

When the neighboring schools get together in sports, it's about community, competition and bragging rights.
It was Parkview vs. Brookwood and everyone knew there'd be a big crowd. But the crowd that attended Saturday's Class AAAAA baseball championship games at Parkview High School was something even more special. More than an hour before the double-header — won by Parkview 5-2 and 6-3 for its second straight state title and fifth overall — cars were already having to park on the other side of campus. Robert Hill, the offensive coordinator for Parkview's football team and baseball traffic cop on Saturday, was turning away cars headed for the usual baseball parking spaces. It was 2:50 p.m.; the double-header started at 4. "You should see it up there [at Hugh Buchanan Stadium, located on the back side of the campus]," Hill said, "It's filled up …

Brookwood escapes with a 23-19 win in what Parkview Coach Cecil Flowe called "the craziest game we’ve ever played.”
Brookwood's Nick Tompkins returned a 75-yard kickoff with only 15 seconds left on the clock as the Broncos beat Parkview 23-19 Friday night in a wild renewal of one of the state's fiercest rivalry. Thompkins' return was one of four touchdowns the teams combined to score in the final couple of minutes in one of the wilder finishes in the history of the so-called Battle of Five Forks-Trickum. It was the 30th meeting between the neighboring schools and no doubt as exciting as any other in the series. “I’ve never seen anything like this," Parkview’s Head Coach Cecil Flowe said. "It’s the craziest game we’ve ever played.” “All I can say is wow about this one,” said Brookwood Head Coach Mark Crews. “We’ll just wipe our brows and hopefully we can…

In the 24 years the Flowes have been married, Penny Flowe has missed only two Parkview football games.
Penny Flowe has three great reasons for attending Parkview’s big game against Brookwood tonight – she’s a Parkview math teacher, her son Patrick plays on the team – and her husband, Cecil, is Parkview’s head coach. In fact, Penny says she’s only missed two of Parkview’s games in the 24 years they’ve been married. “Patrick was born on a Tuesday, and that Friday night I was at the game,” she recalls. “I like to think I support him and I support Patrick every single week, no matter who we're playing." So you’d think this would be a pretty exciting week around the Flowe house, with the 30th Battle of Five Forks-Trickum – as the game against Brookwood is dubbed – looming. But no, Penny said: “If you try to do anything really different….” And …

Organizers are hoping the "Pink Out" event is a success. Special T-shirts are available at the school.
With the big game just days away, Brookwood High School staff and students are hoping to bring awareness to the battle of those affected by breast cancer with a special "Pink Out." This Friday's game against Parkview Panthers, dubbed the "The Battle of Five Forks," is bringing the neighborhood rivals together for a much-anticipated game. And, with all the excitement, David Lockwood thought it was the perfect chance to highlight an important cause. "We all have been affected by cancer at some point in our lives it felt like the cancer awareness movement was a great chance to hop on board and not only raise awareness but raise money to help the American Cancer Society help those directly involved in the fight against it," said Lockwood, who …
