The Park Crossing Thunderbirds proved the old adage of “bend but don’t break” is still in vogue on Friday.
The Thunderbirds’ defense gave up just over 300 yards offense but never allowed Stanhope Elmore to cross the goal line in a 19-0 win at Cramton Bowl.
The win was the first for Park Crossing (2-1, 1-0 6A-R2) over Stanhope (0-2, 0-1) in three tries.

Staff Report
(August 29, 2013)
It was early August and new Sidney Lanier coach CJ Harris was bouncing around practice as the team went through position drills. Working mostly with quarterbacks and running backs, he constantly drew an eye to other parts of the field watching and, occasionally, hollering across the way with a reminder of some sort to a player.
