Milton wins 1st round of friendly mayoral bet
Next up: Chattahoochee vs. Milton (Nov. 9)

10/18/2007

Mayors Mike Bodker and Joe Lockwood square off on which city
has the best high school football team -- Johns Creek or Milton?

Milton won the first round of a friendly competition between the Mayors of Johns Creek and Milton over which city has the best high school football team when the Milton Eagles beat the Northview Titans Oct. 12.

Therefore, Johns Creek Mayor Mike Bodker has to wear a red Milton jersey at the Oct. 22 Johns Creek City Council Meeting. Hopefully, that will be the only time the Mayor has to wear the cross-town rival's shirt.

On Friday night, Nov. 9 at 7:30 pm, the competition continues when the Chattahoochee Cougars head across town to play Milton on their home turf. Same "jersey routine" applies to the losing school's mayor for that game, too.

If there's a tie, both mayors promise to be good sports and wear the rival team's jersey.
