Despite a strong finish, where Colquitt scored the last 31 points of the game, including touchdowns from both the defense and special teams, the Packers struggled with turnovers and penalties. They turned the ball over four times and were penalized 19 times for 155 yards, which could be a concern as they prepare to face a more formidable opponent, North Gwinnett, next Friday. North Gwinnett, currently 1-0 and ranked No. 7 in Class 6A, will provide a stiffer challenge.

“It was a great win,” said Packers coach Sean Calhoun. “We have to eliminate mistakes. We need to clean things up.”
