GDOT unveils latest updates on I-285 express lane project

By CONNER EVANS newsroom@appenmediagroup.com

DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody residents got a first look at plans state officials hope will relieve some of the congestion along I-285, which serves as a southern gateway to the community.

At a special public information session May 15 at St. Luke’s Presbyterian Church, officials with the Georgia Department of Transportation

outlined plans to construct two express lanes in each direction along I-285 from Henderson Road across Ga. 400 to Paces Ferry Road and up to the North Springs MARTA station.

GDOT project manager Tim Matthews said work is still in the early planning and community feedback stages and construction is not set to start until 2023. Completion is scheduled in 2028.

ployment around the northern arc of I-285 has grown through the decades, transportation officials have always expanded to more lanes, but that hasn’t decreased congestion, Matthews explained. Express lanes could be a more feasible solution, because they would allow those willing to pay to move into faster lanes, and express lanes would be free for public transit vehicles.

This could encourage more commuters to take public

transportation, lessening congestion along with the widened highway.

“With each new lane brought the same congestion,” Matthews said. “We found that express lanes are better at managing demand.”

The Top End Express Lane plan is part of the $11 billion Major Mobility Investment Program from the state, which includes 11 different projects aimed at reducing overall delays and travel times by 5 per-

cent by 2030. This new plan comes after the completion of Revive285, which did not receive full project funding, but still completed smaller projects like the widening of Roswell Road, adding Riverside Drive roundabouts and transforming the I-285 and GA 400 interchange set to open to traffic in late 2020.

Eight additional trailers are on the way to Dunwoody High School by the end of the summer. This is in addition to the 67 trailers already placed across the Dunwoody Cluster of schools. Our schools are overcrowded and our DeKalb County School District lacks the resources to address what is becoming a crisis in our school cluster. According to DCSD planning, Dunwoody schools will be overcrowded beyond 2025.

Location and schools are on new residents’ minds when they move here. Dunwoody is ideally located with its access to mass transit and the freeway system. Families know the importance of education and want their kids to attend the highest performing schools. Dunwoody has some great schools, but we aren’t among the best to be honest. Overcrowding has become a very visible problem that is dragging our schools down. Milton, East Cobb and Decatur have schools that drive the success of their community.

The future success of our city lies in the performance of our schools today.

Finding a solution to the very complex problem of overcrowding is difficult, but not impossible. It requires our city, county and local neighborhood

Letter to the editor leaders to become a united front to lead our community through the hard discussions of how we approach this through “out of the box” thinking.

Based on a 2015 report, DCSD needs around $1.9 billion to “catch up” and address the facilities needs of the county. DCSD operates on a budget of $1 billion with additional funds coming from SPLOST or around $100 million a year. The math does not work, and Dekalb will never catch up.

Conversations being discussed around Dunwoody include: • Short term - Immediate focus on the intense overcrowding at Dunwoody Elementary School (~350 kids over), Peachtree Middle School (~400 kids over), and Dunwoody High School (~600 kids over).

Hightower Elementary, which is not in the City of Dunwoody but feeds Dunwoody schools, is also overcrowded (~250 kids over).

• Long term – Capacity planning needs to be done right.

This should be managed many years in advance and not in reaction to current enrollment.

• Keep Dunwoody kids in

local schools (and not bussed out of the city). Parents move to, and live in, Dunwoody to send their kids to local schools, not a neighboring city.

• Spend more money on building beyond classrooms - improve common spaces, fields, etc.

• Find a use for the land at Chamblee-Dunwoody and Shallowford that DCSD owns or find land in Dunwoody for a new school. And yes, it will be expensive.

• Look at an option to update and reuse Austin Elementary and work with the city to see what is possible.

• Remove some or all students from the cluster that are not local.

• Ask for help and hire people / consultants / planners smarter than any of us to look at current DCSD issues and provide solutions.

• Consider what a split schedule at DHS would look like where the school day is divided into two shifts.

• Move beyond just “fixing” local schools and consider making Dunwoody schools a draw.

Evaluate the idea to build a special-purpose school in Dunwoody modeled after schools like the Chamblee Magnet Program or the DeKalb School of the Arts.

• Consider that Peachtree Middle School and Dunwoody High School should be swapped. The DHS facility becomes the middle school and PCMS facility becomes the high school. The funds allocated for both the PCMS and DHS updates should be reallocated and spent on a PCMS update to convert it to a larger high school with adequate common spaces and fields. The existing DHS capacity will fit current PCMS enrollment.

If DCSD was a business, it would have been bankrupt long ago. As painful as this is to say, DCSD does not have a spending problem. It has a revenue problem. The district does not have enough funds to meet the needs of Dunwoody nor the county school system.

I ask all of us to stay engaged in the conversation. Give DCSD another chance and the opportunity to work with the community to find solutions.

Don’t get derailed by politics, complaints and blame. Let’s help DCSD be successful and find ways to bring in additional resources. Let’s all work together to find solutions to make Dunwoody schools top notch.

Stay engaged!

High School Musical had a shot at redemption and clinched first place in the agility course. St. Martin’s 5th-grade students and their teachers helped judge the boxcars for best theme, costume and team dance. They awarded the Powerpuff Girls with Best Overall Theme.

The project was created and named for Carter Davis, son of

St. Martin’s 8th-grade English teacher Michele Davis, who passed away in August of 2016.

Carter was a rising senior at a Cherokee County high school and had planned to build the boxcar for his senior project. The St. Martin’s 8th-grade teaching team adopted the idea to live into the school’s commitment to STEAM and honor Carter.

Ready, Set, Go: St. Martin’s 8th Grade STEAM Capstone Project It was an exciting morning on May 10 as St. Martin’s Episcopal School’s 2019 graduating class competed in the second annual 8th-grade boxcar race. This STEAM-based event was the culmination of a semester-long project where teams of three or four honed their skills in science, technology, engineering, art and math to build a working boxcar to race against their peers. The 8th-grade capstone project highlights the STEAMfocused curriculum taught at St. Martin’s in a fun and interactive manner.

Teams of students designed, built and raced their boxcars in accordance with the International Red Bull Soapbox Derby regulations and rules. Each team produced a to-scale blueprint of their design and built

one boxcar made of mostly recycled materials to accommodate one rider and two pushers. Students used physics, geometry and ratios to design and modify their boxcars for agility, speed and acceleration.

In addition, they created websites to organize all components of their boxcar plans and even translated one section of the site into either French or Spanish. Each car sported a distinctive theme, which also aligned with the team’s costumes and choreographed dances they performed before the race.

Sixteen teams competed for the Fastest Boxcar trophy including Little Einsteins, Moana, Nerf, Mindcrafters and Surfer Girls. In the end, Cars seized first, followed closely by High School Musical. After the race,

Remembering Vietnam on Memorial Day As a high school and college student during most of the Vietnam War, I was consumed by the drill team, dating and studying—not the nightly news. It’s only since I’ve known my Vietnam veteran husband that I’ve learned more about the war and the toll it took on our troops and the fabric of our country.

I was blissfully ignorant of the military and political battles waged back then, though I’ve since learned lots about both via movies, documentaries and books. “Pac 6: A General’s Decision” is a documentary about Linebacker II, the Christmas 1972 mission credited with bringing the North Vietnamese back to the negotiating table after talks had stalled earlier that year.

Linebacker I was the U.S. response to the Vietnamese army’s 1972 Easter Offensive.

That response brought the enemy to the negotiating table, but by December, President Nixon, frustrated and determined to get them to negotiate in good faith, ordered his Joint Chiefs of Staff to initiate three

days of B-52/Tacair strikes on December 18, 1972, with the objective: “maximum destruction of selected targets.” They were told to be prepared to go longer.

The mission was ultimately successful in restarting the peace talks which led to the end of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War and the release of our POWs — some of whom had been held in inhumane and torturous conditions for more than seven years — but it started out disastrously for our B-52s and our airmen. Fifteen B-52s were shot down by over 1,000 surface-to-air missiles (SAMs). Of the 92 B-52 crew members who went down, 33

died, 34 were captured, and 26 were rescued. For details on the tactics that led to those losses, you can view the film at https:// vimeo.com/195186849 and read the story on https://www. historynet.com/the-11-daywar.htm and http://www.linebacker2.com/-.php.

This film, though, is about much more than military tactics and bravery in battle. It’s the story of one man’s integrity — one man making a difference, one man standing up to do the right thing. It’s the story of Brig.

Gen. Glenn R. Sullivan’s fateful decision to jump the chain of command, a decision that saved the lives of untold crew members and enabled the mission to be successful and to accomplish its overarching objective — get the talks going in earnest.

That decision cost Gen. Sullivan his career, an outcome he would have been well aware of even as he took action to alter the dismal trajectory of the original tactics. Despite his leadership and his role in turning things around, he was denied a second star and retired

two years later.

Like me, the general’s son was a typical self-absorbed college student during the war, with little understanding of his father’s involvement. This film, then, is also the story of that son and his search for an understanding of his father’s role. The general died in 1998, and now 20 years later, this film honors not only those who gave their all but also one man who sacrificed the career he loved to do the right thing.

When Barry Dycus approached G. Ray Sullivan, the general’s son, about making this film, Ray was reluctant because he knew his father wouldn’t want his story to be the focus. Though it speaks to the respect the men had for Gen. Sullivan, It’s a well-balanced piece that allows those who fought and survived to express their perspectives on what B-52 aircrews came to call the “11-Day War.” The film was produced by Barry and Ray with the help of donations from veterans and civic groups. Their goal is to

have it shown on a broadcast channel like the American Heroes Channel. Ray, who lives in LaGrange, has presented to civic and veterans groups around the country and would be happy to visit your group to do the same. Contact him at zenphoto@mindspring.com.

Stories like this serve to remind me of the true meaning of Memorial Day — a day to honor the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Wherever you may be on May 27, pausing at 3 PM local time for a National Moment of Remembrance is one small way to remember their sacrifice.

talk to representatives who will play a part in the project — experts on right of way acquisition, environmental factors and public transportation.

Some residents expressed concerns about the cost and increased travel time with people farther north given greater incentive to commute.

The imprecise cost measurements for the plan are mostly due to high fluctuations each month as the department conducts more research, GDOT official Dustin O’Quinn said, but there is a monthly updated risk analysis and a 40 percent contingency.

They don’t have complete survey data yet for the entire area and numbers from past projects may not be reliable benchmarks, he said.

The next phase of the project will be removing the old Notice of Intention for Revive285, so that the department may submit a new notice for the Top End Express Lane plan. Community conversations were scheduled to continue through this week.

areas, such as the northwest corridor along I-75 from Akers Mill Road to Hickory Grove Road and along I-575 from I-75 to Sixes Road, according to GDOT. This 30-mile corridor has seen its rush hour period decrease by one hour and travel speeds increase by 30 percent with average daily fare set at $1.70, Matthews said. General purpose lanes are up to 20 mph faster since the express lanes opened, he said, and he thinks the I-285 corridor could see similar improvements.

The I-75 northwest corridor lanes change from southbound to northbound depending on the time of day, while the proposed Top End Express Lanes will be open at all times.

The cost per mile will be dynamic depending on traffic, time of day and distance traveled, but the minimum toll will be set at 10 cents per mile in express lanes, and during low demand hours a minimum toll of 50 cents for a trip of any length could be set.

All crime reports published by Appen Media Group are compiled from public records. Neither the law enforcement agencies nor Appen Media Group implies any guilt by publishing these names. None of the persons listed has been convicted of the alleged crimes.

Resident says ex-boyfriend forced his way into home DUNWOODY, Ga. — A man reported he was attacked at home by a man who forced his way into the residence on Dunwoody Crossing May 11.

The victim and his roommate told police that they were sitting on their patio when they heard someone pounding on their front door. The victim said he immediately recognized the voice of the suspect, a former boyfriend, demanding to come in.

When the victim refused to let him in, the suspect allegedly rammed the door and broke in yelling and screaming. The victim told police the suspect tackled him and bit his chest while pummeling his stomach.

When the victim’s roommate called 911, the suspect immediately fled the home.

The victim requested that the suspect be criminally charged and that a protective order be filed to avoid any future contact. Later, police stopped a vehicle seen cruising past the home and identified the driver as the suspect in the home invasion. He was arrested and taken to DeKalb County Jail.

Once inside, the man pulled down his pants and exposed himself. When the elevator stopped, he pulled up his pants and exited.

The victim immediately notified security, but the suspect could not be found. Police told the woman that incidents like this should be reported immediately to law enforcement.

Police called to investigate public indecency report

Suspect enjoys weekend in other man’s apartment

DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police are investigating an incident of public indecency a woman reported while she was on an elevator at Perimeter Center Terrace.

The woman told police on May 13 that four days earlier she arrived at the parking deck of the north tower and spotted a male in his late 20s or early 30s dressed in dark clothes standing near the wall with a walkie-talkie attached to his pocket.

The woman said she assumed the man worked in the parking deck but began to feel uncomfortable when the man followed her onto the elevator.

DUNWOODY, Ga. — A man told police May 12 that an unknown person had occupied his apartment while he was out of town for the weekend.

The victim said that when he returned from a weekend trip to Florida, he noticed his back patio door was open slightly.

He then found a note on the kitchen counter from someone writing to thank him for use of the dwelling, along with a phone number at the bottom.

The victim then checked the residence to ensure nothing had been taken.

Police called the phone number on the note, but it rang with no answer.

Dunwoody High seniors recognized by state Six Dunwoody High School seniors were honored recently as Georgia Scholars.

Through the Georgia Scholar program, the Georgia Department of Education identifies and honors high school seniors who have achieved excellence in school and community life. Students eligible for Georgia Scholar recognition are high school seniors who exhibit excellence in all phases of school life, in community activities and in the home.

Georgia Scholars are students who have carried exemplary course loads during their four years of high school; who performed excellently in all courses; who successfully participated in interscholastic events at their schools and in their communities; and who have assumed active roles in extracurricular activities sponsored by their schools. Each Georgia Scholar receives a seal for his or her diploma.

“The 2019 Georgia Schol-

ars exemplify our mission of educating the whole child,” Georgia School Superintendent Richard Woods said.

“They are well-rounded students who have engaged with a wide array of educational opportunities — from traditional classroom learning to community service. I congratulate each of these students and wish them well as they embark on their next steps after high school.”

The program is coordinated

by Georgia DOE’s Excellence Recognition Office and through local coordinators in each public school system and private schools throughout the state.

The following Dunwoody High School students were selected: • Luther Pankey • Annie Solomon • Christopher Johnson • Weston Spencer • Daniella D’Angelo • Nathan Stefanik

A lesson in disruption Reading the financial press, or other source of news or commentary, disparate stories may seem to have no interrelatedness whatsoever. The Wall Street Journal weekend edition (5/11-12/19) headlined, “Uber’s High-Profile IPO Slips In Weak First Session.” A “page 2” filler piece noted, “‘Financial Fragility’ Affects Middle Class.”

What’s the connection?

The much-heralded initial public offering (IPO) of ride-sharing behemoth Uber on May 11, 2019, was a bit of a bust. Priced “conservatively” at $45 a share, the low end of estimated valuation, the stock ended the day down 7.6% at $41.57. Uber’s nearest competitor, Lyft, traded 29 percent below its earlier IPO

THE INVESTMENT COACH

debut price.

The other story reflected studies indicating “one-third of middle-class American adults couldn’t handle a $400 surprise expense, and some 6 percent couldn’t manage such a cost even by borrowing money or selling something.” The connection between the two stories? Choices! Understanding basic economic and motivational principles. Needs versus wants. The dynamics separating “financial success” and “financial stress.”

The most common path to financial actualization, besides “engaged working,” is prudent investing and the owner-

ship of economic assets with growth and income producing potential. When you invest in “stocks for the long run” that’s what you’re doing. IPO’s like Uber fall into the “high risk speculation” camp, okay if you can handle volatility and potential losses. Uber is hemorrhaging money, profits are non-existent, the company faces headwinds of resistance from taxi unions, a rebellion among their own drivers over a “too low” share of the fares midst rising gas prices and car payments, competition from Lyft, and other factors. Uber is pure speculation at this juncture, not suitable for butterand-egg or “pushke” money!

Here’s where disruption and personal choices come in. Struggling, hard working, cab drivers face an onslaught of Uber and Lyft competition.

On a recent stay in La Jolla, Calif., for back-to-back business conferences, I could have taken cabs or rented a car. The prices for rental cars on internet sites are virtually double the daily quoted rate when fees are added. The hotels charged $33 a day for self-parking. Gas in California is about double Georgia prices, so filling up a rental car isn’t a bargain, either. Cheaper to use Lyft (my choice given the Delta tie-in).

Try hailing a cab in a busy city. Phone/computer savvy younger generations, and increasingly aging boomers, embrace instantaneous digital contact with price quoting convenience. Needing a ride back to my hotel for my wife and I from Eddie V’s famous ocean view restaurant in downtown La Jolla (valet parking, $16 plus tip), a quick tap of my phone, and “poof,” a Lyft car in two minutes with a relatively cheap ride ($14 with tip). An efficient use of time and money.

The lessons? Technology as a disruptor will continue to provide opportunities for investors, which should be matched with your individual risk/reward preference. Where technology can substitute for labor, that trend will accelerate, especially as politicians push seemingly well-meaning

causes to help working men and women, that in reality increase the cost of replaceable labor. Workers will continue to face rising pressures to upgrade skills and knowledge in a race to stay competitive and employable.

College students, and parents, must be realistic about the marketability of degrees and costs of living where graduates will work when it comes to college loan debt repayment. Mr. Market is a tough parent!

Business owners face a skills shortage and every employee must be challenged to stay relevant, making a positive contribution to profit mandates.

Choices. The alternative is career stagnation, disengagement, stress, termination, a broken retirement nest egg, financial fragility.

Owners cannot afford turnover and loss of skilled employees in our booming economy where workers have more choices. What are you doing, Mr. or Ms. Employer, to put human capital on the same plane as economic capital importance? What’s your strategy for attracting, onboarding, development, and retention of valuable employees, associates, and potential successors?

You may not like the unsettling elements of an “Uber world,” but that’s reality. How you “survive and thrive” is a choice demanding well-informed strategies.

Politicians will not save you.

They’ll make things worse.

More choices ...

St. Pius X boys track team captures AAAA state title

By Luke Winstel For The Crier The St. Pius X Catholic High School boys’ track team won their second consecutive state championship last week. The Golden Lions scored 81 points, beating out top contenders Chapel Hill (72) and Sandy Creek (49). Senior UNC track signee Matthew Harris placed first in the long jump and 300-meter hurdles, while Michigan throwing commit Tanner Duffin placed first in shot put and discus.

“Overall I’m very proud,” coach Ryan McClay said. “We were competing against an amazing Chapel Hill team who was loaded with talent, and we knew they would be tough to beat. They showed up and ran really well on Saturday. We had a lead and they put the pressure

on us, but at the end of the day, our boys did enough to get the job done. It’s sometimes hard to perform when the pressure is on for a team title like that.

I’ve seen guys crumble at state finals because of it, but our guys showed up and took care of business.”

McClay highlighted Matthew Harris, Jared Williams, and Tanner Duffin as the top individual performers on the team, scoring the most points for the Golden Lions in the championship meet. “What I really liked is how tough everybody was and how much they kept fighting,” McClay said.

“Some of the events were very close and didn’t go exactly the way we thought they would, but our kids kept fighting and performed under some intense pressure.”

By Luke Winstel For The Crier The St. Pius X Catholic High School girls soccer team won the AAAA state championship game 6-0 over Flowery Branch on Friday at Mercer University.

After defeating Blessed Trinity 3-2 in overtime of the semifinal game on Tuesday, the Golden Lions advanced to the championship game against a Flowery Branch team that had a 16game unbeaten streak heading into the match.

The Golden Lions struck first after Helen Cherry volleyed a free kick from Loren House over the head of the Flowery Branch goalkeeper. Renee Lyles had another standout performance with a hat trick, scoring a total of five combined goals in the semifinal and championship games. Clare Gornowicz and Helen Kolker also scored for St. Pius. Goalkeeper Eve Beyer and the Golden Lions earned their

14th shutout in their 22nd game of the year.

“I felt like we had a great game, really stuck to our game plan, and executed well,” coach Sara Schmitt said. “I liked that we never let Flowery Branch dictate the match but stuck to our style of play. It was a complete team win.”

Forward Renee Lyles scored a school record 36 goals in her sophomore season. Coach Schmitt said, “Renee’s vision on the field makes her so special. She sees space and takes it. She also directs where other players need to be by playing a ball into that space.”

The St. Pius team finishes the 2019 season with a stellar goal differential of +85, only allowing 11 goals. The team outscored playoff opponents 33-2 in route to Schmitt’s ninth state title in the past 11 years.

The team finished ranked #2 in Georgia, and #4 in the nation by the MaxPreps poll.

William Christopher Amacher, age 92, passed away on May 12, 2019 at his home in Dunwoody. He was preceded in death by his cherished wife of 51 years, Vera Joyce Amacher.

Bill was born in Tennessee in 1926, to Annie Sue Drake AmAMACHER acher and Fritz Amacher. The family moved to Dunwoody in 1934 to pursue farming. After graduating from Chamblee High School, Bill proudly served our country in WWII, with a Military Police Battalion. After being discharged, he returned to Georgia to continue his education, and played football at Erskine University and West Georgia College, but would ultimately transfer to the University of Georgia. Along with his brother, Fred Amacher, he formed Amacher Bros. Construction Co. in 1953 and was a commercial contractor for over 50 years in Atlanta.

Bill was an active member of Dunwoody United Methodist Church, and particularly enjoyed his Crusaders Sunday School class. He was a member of Dunwoody Preservation Trust, working alongside his beloved wife, Joyce, on a number of community service projects. The City of Dunwoody awarded him Keys to the City in honor of his dedication to historic preservation.

Whether he was playing tennis on his backyard court,

OBITUARIES vegetable gardening, studying history, playing golf, boating on Lake Lanier, or dancing, Bill was always very active and thoroughly enjoyed all of it.

He loved watching the Dawgs between the hedges as well as the Braves and the Falcons. He and his wife Joyce traveled all over the US, China, Europe, Canada and Mexico. Bill loved to entertain in the home he built for his family in Dunwoody.

He had a unique voice that is often imitated but never totally mastered.

His family will miss seeing Bill driving around Dunwoody in his pickup truck full of construction equipment, hardhat in tow. He is survived by his son, Zachery Christopher Amacher, and wife Amie. He is also survived by his wife’s children who he loved dearly, Zerah Whitfield Wilson and husband Bob and Zelda Whitfield Patrick and husband Dixon, six grandchildren; Lauren and Elliott Wilson, Samantha and Brenda Patrick, Allison and Kimberly Amacher, nephews Eric Amacher and Lance Amacher and their families.

The memorial service will be on Thursday, May 30th, at Dunwoody United Methodist Church at 11:00 a.m. Friends and family are invited to gather at 10:00 a.m. for visitation.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Dunwoody United Methodist Church in memory of Bill Amacher.

Edith was born on June 27, 1923 in Jonesville, South Carolina and raised there, graduating from Winthrop College in 1944. She married Army Lieutenant Judson Chapin, a

Clemson graduate, that same year. After marriage, she joined Judson, living at a succession of army posts during the war, where she was employed in the base accounting departments.

After the war, her husband’s insurance career took them from city to city, during which Edith was a devoted home maker and math teacher who received her Master’s from the University of Memphis. Over the years, she taught math at Kingsbury High in Memphis, Lindbergh High in St. Louis, and Peachtree High in Dunwoody. Edith and Judson raised three sons, and putand put them successfully through college.

They also widened their horizons with visits to 45 states.

The couple enjoyed family,

bridge with friends, antiques, and frequent travel to England.

After Judson’s passing Edith continued to travel the world with friends and her sister Sally.

She lost track of how many lands she had been to, but she always said that home with her family was her favorite place to be.

Edith sold her Dunwoody, GA home in 2013 and moved to Huntcliff Senior Living where she made new friends and loved her caregivers. In 2019 she moved to Highlands, NC. Edith is survived by her three sons, Walter (Elena) of Poulsbo, WA, Jud (Sarah) of Cashiers, NC, and Stephen of Atlanta, by her two grandchildren Meredith (Chip) Hamner of Raleigh, NC,

After her husband’s death in 1982, Edith made Dunwoody Methodist the center of her spiritual and social life and there she made many strong and lasting friendships that filled her life. After her retirement she also looked forward to annual gatherings of former Peachtree High faculty. She had a strong work ethic, sense of loyalty, and faith in family ties that she passed on to her sons and that she followed to the end of her life.

Services will be held at Dunwoody Methodist Church on Friday morning May 31st at eleven o’clock. The family will receive visitors at ten o’clock prior to the service.

Dunwoody DB J. Norris Neel (#26) ran a 97-yard interception return for a touchdown.

Dunwoody High ushers in football field

By Bob Fiscella For The Crier For the first time in its 47year history, Dunwoody High School hosted an organized football game on campus.

Chalk it up as a success.

Up till now, the Wildcats played their home games at North DeKalb Stadium in Chamblee.

This past Friday night, Dunwoody routed neighboring North Springs 42-7 in its spring football scrimmage as Davis LeDoyen threw

for over 300 yards and four touchdowns, and J. Norris Neel returned an interception 97 yards for a score.

Thanks to the newly installed lighting system on the high school football field, courtesy of the school’s Game On capital campaign, the Wildcats were able to make history before a gathering of approximately 750 fans. Dunwoody also plans to play its August pre-season game against Wesleyan under the lights at the high school.
