Okay. So for Region 1-AAAAA… My guess for the Top Four seeds:

Lowndes
Valdosta
Northside Warner Robins

and…?

In the last three games Valdosta’s Total Score looks something like… 138-6
Looks like its gonna be a good year ahead!

Go Cats!

Houston County is hammering Bradwell Institute. Some of you guys lose sight that HoCo is a Warner Robins high school. The Bears may struggle to get over the hump of Northside-Warner Robins and Warner Robins. However, the HoCo Bears are far from a push over.

There is this wild belief that Valdosta is going to automatically reach the state playoffs. You guys from Valdosta can put it down in permanent marker, Northside-Warner Robins is going to the state playoffs. Lowndes County is going to the state playoffs. There will be 2 other programs. Assuming it is definitely Valdosta is short sighted.

Houston County, Warner Robins, & Colquitt County are going to battle Valdosta. You can bank on Tift County playing hard through region play and I doubt those kids from Coffee are going to roll over. Region 1-AAAAA is going to be a battle. I guarantee it.

Valdosta is in a “most win” situation. Home region loses are not the answer. The Wildcats lose next Friday, forget about reaching the state playoffs.

For all of the posters from Buford screaming about “bring on Lowndes County,” stop it. When you lose to Lovett, you are not a top 30 AAAAA program. I doubt Buford could win a AAAAA or AAAA first round playoff game. Bring on Lowndes??? The Vikings might mercifully score 70-80+ points against Buford.

Well Grayson answered some questions. What did Warner Robins do? Their defense tear that team they played a new one? If they did Grayson just faced tough defenses and the rest of the state beware!

Camden and Hoover game is a really good game. Camden is winning 27 to 24 in the 4th quarter.

Nothside-WR did win tonight over number 1 in 3AAA, Carver of Columbus by 21-12. Carver is a “HUGE” physical team. I heard they had 6/7 D1 players but the one noticeable player was a running back named Crowell. He was tough to stop. The score may have been greater except for the 5 or 6 key fumbles NSWR made. This is a problem Coach Nix must fix. I wouldn’t wish for any team to play Carver more than once per year.

Went to the Collins Hill-Chattahoochee game tonight. In a wild affair, Collins Hill came back & held off Chattahoochee 35 to 33. Charles Perkins of Collins Hill had 25 carries for 134 yards & 3 TDS, but was upstaged by Chattahoochee QB Tim Byerly who ran and passed all over the Collins Hill D all night. Collins Hill led 14-0 early, but Chattahoochee scored 27 unanswered points to lead 27-14. Collins Hill then scored 21 unanswered to go up 35-27 with 2 minutes left in the game by running a Byerly INT back for a TD. Then, Byerly went 61 yds to pull Chattahoochee within 2 with just over a minute left. The 2 pt try failed & Collins Hill recovered the onside kick & ran out the clock. This was some of the best 7 bucks I spent.

Rohit, Region 1AAAAA, for the most part, plays lower classification schools for their non-region games. i.e. Valdosta’s schedule. Wins are not impressive against smaller schools.

Northside Observer………I agree with you on the turnovers ,they gotta stop . Defense played well ,holding Carver to 60 total in the first half…..Glad football is back , Northside football atmosphere tonight ,nothing like it…..Eagles defense is ready, the Jr. #22 D Jackson all over the place making plays.The big soph D -lineman #94 Chester was playing like a well groomed senior tonight,he popped his cherry tonight ,he is ready now. Big Thompson #99 too!.,,,These 3 are underclassmen and they are playing like seniors early in the season . Tebow played great ,had big runs ,looked more confident……..Shaq had good runs , but he has to hold on to the ball……Good game .The younger kids are coming along great .I was impressed with them

Biggest surprise of the night: Buford losing to Lovett. First win for Lovett over Buford since 1971. Where is the person that said Forest Park would upset Mt Zion-Jonesboro? I am disappointed that South Gwinnett only put up 49 on a wretched Meadowcreek team. This makes the third straight game South has scored 49 points. It will NOT happen next week against Grayson. Brookwood Mom: Congrats on your win. I still see Brookwood making the playoffs, but it won’t be easy like in the past.

Couldn’t agree with you more my friend! I think we can all agree that Lowndes is a shoo-in for a 1-AAAAA seed. Most of us would not argue to strongly against Northside picking up a seed either.

But… Valdosta a sure thing? I think not. The battle, and it is going to be a battle my friend, for the 3rd and 4th seed in 1-AAAAA, (and maybe the 2nd Mr. Northside), is going to be a knock-down-drag-out to end all knock-down-drag-outs. With the exception of lowndes, I think what we’re looking at in 1-AAAAA is something that hasn’t been in this region in years.

Parity.

Plain and simple as that.

And not just any kind of parity. It’s a parity within the region, (And this is going to P*** off everyone outside 1-AAAAA), not a parity with other AAAAA regions around the state. I truly think 1-AAAAA is a notch above the rest of the state overall and I think It’s really going to show up in bracket play this year as long as we don’t beat each other to death during the regular season.

Just my thoughts. Mark my words though,,,,, and then give me hell in late November and early December if I’m wrong.

St. Pius 49… Oconee 0.

No TD’s allowed by the Pius defense yet this season. Offense looks strong – Moon had around 200 yards and 3 TD’s tonight. This is looking like a very scary team…

I have to commend Coach Nix and staff ,Gone are the likes of Fields , Jones , Bass and others at Northside . The staff has had to retool ,but with each game played , I think the Eagles will get better and better……..What do you think ENR?

So our defense has yet to be scored on through game 3. That is pretty impressive, you got to admit. Camden did put up 10 points but it was a special teams blocked punt for TD & a lay-up field goal after the kick-off return that was fumbled @ the 20. Even on that score the Rams actually held for negative yardage.

Offense showed up tonight & the bag of tricks has gotten a little deeper & more diverse.

The team that I see as being a match for Grayson– North Gwinnett. If that happens, it will be deep in the playoffs & it will be a game.

Mceachern wins!!haha

You know, I agree we havent really played any seriously good teams yet. We get a chance next week though! Although it does hurt to put Lowndes up as the no. 1 seed from 1-AAAAA.. It’s true. And not being shortsighted.. but honestly I think the only teams that could put up a fight would be Lowndes and NSWR… Colquitt, Coffee, Warner Robins, and Houston?? Really? I dont know about that! However the year shapes up in the next few weeks. Gotta admit.. it will be pretty exciting!
Once again.. Go Cats!

Rams Fan I am impressed with your defense. Lowndes 1st string defense is yet to give up a touchdown either. They did give up a field goal against PTree, but that is all they have given up. The problem with Lowndes completely shutting people out is that the games are not usually close enough to keep the 1st String defense in the whole game so teams do score touchdowns on our 2nd and 3rd string defenses. Against Ware tonight the clock was non stop in the second half so the game was over in what seemed like record time. The second half took what seemed like less than 30 minutes total to play.

Rohit ……. It’s Good that you know that your season starts next week. I knew that with the winning tradition at Valdosta that you knew the difference between a real game and a scrimmage, unlike some on this blog . Next week will be a good one between our schools,should be closer than last year…..I am glad the region games start next week…I think Colquitt will have something for Lowndes,not a win ,but I think Lowndes will see a much improved Colquitt…..Hoco will surprise Coffee……..WR will beat Tift…….and Northside defense will take the Cats out.

Brookwood Mom: I’m kind of surprised you & Coach are wanting to blow out your coaches. I did some research on ghsfha.com & pulled coaching records. Mark Crews is 70-20 (including 1-2 this season) with a winning pct of .777 since he took over for Dave Hunter. He had won 9 or more games for 6 years prior to last year. I know Dave Hunter is a legend at Brookwood with a record of 149-36 & a state title and built the program. Valdosta had a coach named Mike O’Brien who succeeded the legendary Nick Hyder. Coach O’Brien went 70-20-1 in seven years with a state title. His sin was he was not Nick Hyder.
Since Coach O’Brien was run out of Valdosta, the Wildcats have not won state & have had multiple coaches. Basically, I’m saying: Be careful what you wish for.

WOLVERINE FAN, THE REF DIDN’T STEAL ANYTHING, WOODSTOCK JUST COULDN’T PLAY PASS DEFENSE. THEN YOU HAD CONSERVATIVE PLAY CALLING IN THE 4th QUARTER. PLUS A DROP INTERCEPTION THAT WOULD HAVE SEALED THE VICTORY WITH 8 SECOND LEFT IN THE GAME.
