North Cobb quarterback Malachi Singleton capped a stellar outing with a dominant fourth quarter as the Warriors held off Walton 51-29 on Friday night.

Smith’s third touchdown of the night and ensuing two-point conversion brought the home team to within 37-29 with a full quarter of football remaining, but Singleton quickly responded with an 11-yard score on the first play of the fourth and another from four yards out with 9:59 left to cap the scoring.
