East Cobb traffic alert: Sewell Mill Road delays for Walton parade

If you travel on Sewell Mill Road in the mid-afternoon, be advised that for about an hour or so Friday a portion of it will be used for the Walton High School homecoming parade.

The parade route will be on Sewell Mill between Old Canton Road to Bill Murdock Road from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. The homecoming procession starts at Temple Kol Emeth (Sewell Mill at Old Canton), then heads eastbound to Bill Murdock and south to the Walton campus.

After those festivities conclude, a big crowd is expected at Raider Valley, and not just because it’s homecoming. The football game will feature a Class 7A Top 10 showdown between the No. 6 Raiders (4-1) and the No. 3 North Cobb Warriors (5-1).

Kickoff starts at 8 p.m., and if you can’t get there in person the game will be shown on local television on Peachtree TV.
