Marist game was not even as close as the score suggests. Marist dominated from the start (scoring on third play of the game), and Tucker defense was on its heals all night. Tucker offense looked out of sync — Tucker quarterback made some great throws when not under pressure, but his wideouts could not hold onto anything.

Parkview I am so proud of you for putting up a hell of a fight. I was really rooting for you guys to kick those arrogant asses. Brookwood is my last hope in the region. Before any of you grayson hillbillies start running your mouth about how Brookwood won because they played Berkmar and they play Meadowcreek HELLO!!! you play them too fools! Ya’ll only won by 6 points! Once again you squeeked by!

Take these post for what they are…Good natured fun blogging for and about our teams. I have not missed an East game in over 4 years now both Home & away. Tonights game was tough with all our county has just came thru and it showed on the kids. They fought hard and came away with a win against Marietta 9 to 0.
You are obviously NOT a RAIDER fan so why not post about whichever Paulding team you support. The Hornets are 4/0 and both North and South Paulding are playing good being still relatively new schools.
Paulding County High has the same issues they have had for years and without administration changes probably will not field a winning program for a while.

Some awesome games! Ya gotta love Georgia football.
I had a feeling North Forsyth might have a quality team.
W00t! North Gwinnett has only allowed 3 TD’s in 5 games. Go North!
And Gainesville looks to be completely dominant in their class.

The Cannon Rules…..I was wondering when you would give me grief!! I still can’t believe it either!! The first sign that it was going to be a bad night, was when the scoreboard did not work!! Then we had two fumbles in a row!! Absolutely the worst I have seen Harrison play!
Congrats on the victory over Marietta. I hope in two weeks, we can give a better performance against a very good Woodstock team.

Brookwood Mom: I know you want a piece of that heifer, but don’t do anything that will get you locked up.
Maybe you can do like Doralee Rhodes suggested: “Why don’t we get a couple of rustlers & beat the **** out of that heifer. Am looking forward to Brookwood-Grayson tilt in 2 weeks. Have seen Grayson play twice, against Warner Robins & South Gwinnett. If the Broncos can mix up the run & pass as well as plug up their defense, they stand a chance.
Michael Carvell: Any report on Taylor Heinicke, the Collins Hill QB? I know he got hurt in 2nd qtr when blindsided & did not return

Good game Pops and Etowah Fan….What a night for classic High School football. Going into the last 5 minutes of the game it was a coin toss. Well I guess we start looking forward to the game at the Woodshed next year. To bad that kid had to chop block tonight. He had gotten away with 3 or 4 of them before the refs blew the whistle.

actually, after about 2 minutes of the ball game and a quick 14-0 in favor of Lowndes, the vikings pretty much nonchallanted through the rest of the game. Especially on offense. Lowndes going through the motions. Qback was off target and when he was on target the receivers would drop the ball. Probably Lowndes worse played game of the season thus far.

Oh yeah! the Bears are 4-0 against AAAA teams. Burke ran Brunswick out of the Bear Den in swagger mood. After Brunswick scored their last touchdown with about 5 seconds left. Burke got the ball back on a onside kick, and did the best play of the game. Took a knee, Final 36-26. How you like that TODD? Who picked AAAA Brunswick to beat AAA Burke Co. Halla at him CHIP!

It was a classic Etowah, Woodstock game. It came down to the very end with special teams finally busting one for a 60+ yard punt return. Great defense won the game for us. Our offense had 4 turnovers and they still only put up 10 points, thats impressive. And EAST you only put up 9 points against Marietta… We put up 38 in less than 3 quarters, we always cruise with a 5 td lead for some respect.

For all those out there who think that the Rams aren’t all they are made out to be, take notice that Parkview had almost 0 rushing yards against them. Parkview’s quarterback threw some amazing passes, including a TD pass while being lifted in the air by a Grayson defensive player. Bottom line, in order to beat Grayson, you better have a quarterback who can pass accurately and think well under pressure, and about half the offense out there as wide receivers.
Teams are putting together everything they’ve got to try to beat Grayson. But the Rams are still winning. And they are winning by playing the same game, the same way every week. The Rams play good football, and they win with a team effort every week. Thats pretty respectable in my eyes.

Yo.. I agree. Lowndes got real sloppy after the 14 point cushion. I was not impressed. They showed little efffort and had no hustle to them. Dumb penalties and lack of enthusiasm will hurt us these next two weeks. Only positive thing was even with little effort we scored 50

Dear Lowndes County, please come to WR and beat the @#$%&$#@!! out of Northside, and please know that not all WR residents are this classless. For somereason NHS has some of there worst fans tailgate in the visitor parking lot and make rude comments to the visiting team. I’m sure this will just encourage ya’ll to run up the score on them. If ya’ll can beat them by 50 that would be great.

Stone Mountain beat Lithonia 18 to 15 in one of the best games I’ve ever seen or coach in my hat goes off to my Lithonia boys I love you’ll and will always be my boys. The game was played hard by both teams it went in to over time stone mountain got the ball first and kick a field goal to go up 18-15 Lithonia got the ball drove down to the 2 yard line on 4th down last play of the game qb sneak stop on the 1 stone mountain wins but the hurtful part of that is Lithonia head coach didn’t shake our hands after the game he just walk off with no efforts of showing good sportsmanship and some other coaches and players didn’t either. High School football is a game coaches are in this business to teach young men to always have good character even when lose. But i have no hard feeling towards Lithonia or its coaching staff they have done a great job with those kids. Since I didn’t get a chance to tell the head coach I’ll say here Great Game coach you are doing a great job with those kids. Good luck on the rest of your season.
I am so proud of my stone mountain pirates for playing so had for 5 quarters and never stop be leaving, I love you’ll.

I stopped coming to the games last year because I was so tired of watching Stone Mountain get handled by other schools in and outside of the county. I’m so glad to see that they are finally having a winning season after soooooo many years. Looking at the schedule it looks good for the playoffs. All the luck in the world and I will be there to support at the next game. It’s great to have a new coaching staff the is making a difference!!!! GO PIRATES!!!!!

Wolverine guys – good comments without trash talking .
Hard fought game for sure. Very sloppy offensive play by both teams throughout. I have never seen, not just all the turnovers, but the ball consistently on the ground. A lot predicated by stellar defensive play of both teams.
I thought we had you as well with the late third quarter interception around your 35 I think, and a 10-7 lead. We just couldn’t do anything with it. Play calling, I don’t know? We have become a pass happy team at times. Can you believe how many times we threw in the first quarter alone? Our best receiver was shut down all night.
Finally, I am not sure how, but when you got the field flipped on us and we were pinned deep twice, we may have gotten a little to conservative. At that point, something bad would surely happen. Yes, a punt return for a touchdown. Great run several missed tackles.
Perhaps, we should have taken a safety and a fee kick from the twenty?
This one hurts… “Oh the humanity”

First off, Marist walloping Tucker did not surprise me at all. I saw Tucker last week, and even though the Tigers manhandled Miller Grove, I saw the handwriting on the wall. Tucker showed very little discipline, and that will get your butt kicked against a well-coached team like Marist any day of the week. Hats off to the War Eagles for proving my point!
When is anyone going to threaten North Gwinnett???? The Bulldogs dominated in every phase of the game last night – forced turnovers (turned two into scores), stopped Mill Creek three times on downs that I remember, and shut the Hawks down. NG’s offense wasn’t flashy, but it got the job done. Solid squad, and the crowd was into the game from the get-go. That never hurts, either….
North is strong and solid. PRidge, are you still out there?

Northside-Warner Robins 42, Houston County 7.
Will someone please put Valdosta HS on “Alert” for tonight’s game against Warner Robins? I expect the Big Red to bully Valdosta tonight. You heard it from me.
Northside continues the longest regular season home field run in AAAAA. The last time the Northside Eagles lost to a road team at McConnell-Talbert Stadium in Warner Robins was September 20, 1996 against Robert E. Lee HS of Alabama, 16-7. To all Lowndes County Viking fans and the metro Atlanta fans who have jumped upon your bangwagon, Northside is not Peachtree Ridge. There is no place more difficult to win a game than playing Northside at McConnell-Talbert Stadium. I promise you that.
Can anyone from Tucker explain to me what happened against Marist? I am baffled.

On second thought, save it Tucker posters. Tucker is a public school from DeKalb County. Tucker joins a long line of programs like Southwest DeKalb, Stephenson, and other with tons of talent that just can not display enough discipline to get it done on a consistent level. No surprise with the Marist beating.

Sounds like Woodstock & Etowah had a good close game with maybe somes fumbles effecting the outcome and then a long run sealing the victory…that sounds like the EAST McEachern game last week!!!
Congrats to Woodstock for their Win!!!
I see a few post about EAST only scoring 9 points and yep that has got to be corrected fast. But last nights game was not your normal game as we also had scoreboard issues,it didn’t work from the start, and the folks at the game seemed preoccupied…this week in Paulding has just been unbelievable and the fact that the game was played at all was remarkable. The stands were not crowded and it was very quiet compared to a regular RAIDER game. I think the county (as did others) just went thru too much in the last few days!!!
So with that said we will take a win, however low scoring and move on to next weeks Region game with Etowah (at Etowah), looking forward to this one…never been to Etowah’s stadium…
With Woodstock’s win they move (for the time being) into the 2nd position behind McEachern…so next weeks game will have a lot of Region ramifications. South Cobb plays McEachern today at McEachern…let’s hope McEachern is looking ahead and South Cobb can pull of an upset!!!
GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!

I promise should that happen, they will turn chicken and run before the game ends. So 94demon, have you ever seen an eagle turn into a chicken? Watch the Lowndes magicians perform their magic act come Friday night. Don’t miss the magic show…ya’ll! From Eagle smack talk to….bac, bac, bac, bac, bac, bac. ENR…Lowndes is not Peachtree Ridge either. Something tells me you are about to see the Lowndes that PTree got a taste of….not the Lowndes that Tift just got a taste of.

ENR: I’m glad you clarified the streak, because I know that Parkview won the 2001 state championship game @ McConnell-Talbert stadium. You may want to add “not lost to a non-Houston County school” since 1996 in the regular season.
GoDAWGS: Grayson is very sound fundamentally. They run the ball well, pass infrequently, but efficiently and do not turn the ball over..
Defensively, they take away the run & force turnovers. I’m not saying they are invincible, but there are less than 5 teams that could beat them depending on where the game is.

ENR. I went to the game last night because it was the game closest to my house. As much as I hate to say it, you are right. Tucker lacks discipline and spent most of the game talking trash. How in the world the refs didn’t call some of the unsportman-like conduct is puzzling. I thought I was going to a game to see Tucker thrash them, but ended up being disgusted at the coaching staff from that team for ignoring blatant trash. I started watching the coaches closely when one of their players did some extracurricular stuff that didn’t get called. Not one time were they seen reprimanding the poor conduct. I won’t post numbers on here, but the free safety and one linebacker should have been sitting on the bench and probably would have been ejected if they were from a south GA team. I never have been and never will be a private school supporter, but I guess I should congratulate Marist.

Pretty sure the SMH/ Lithonia was the best game in Region 6AAAA. Even though Lithonia has to wait until next year to try and get their first win since 1988, I have a new found respect for the kids in that program. The head coach is a jerk as he encouraged his kids not to shake our hands after the game when all Stone Mountain did was win it in a hard fought OT game. I dont respect the coaches for being sore losers. That was a big win for the Pirates, which ties them with Tucker as they are both 4-1 and both lost to Marist. Playoffs look good for the Pirates who were 2-8 in 2007and 3-7 in 2008. This will be my last blog until the playoffs, but before I go let me say the REGION 6AAAA IS THE ROUGHEST TOUGHEST REGION IN THE STATE.

Yo………Lowndes probably will get the win , but you have lost your mind if you think that a Kinsler led Northside defense will ever give up 50 to any team, Including Lowndes…………As far as WR/Valdosta.,both teams have improved since last season. And Warner Robins has turned the corner since the Grayson game But i’m with ENR ,ive seen both play this year and WR is the better team on both sides,it’ll be a good one ….no blow out here…….I don’t think Valdosta’s defense has been tested yet , they will get tested by the Demons ,yes Northside beat them but This years Eagle offense is still under construction and we beat Valdosta with defense and special team play……Our QB Van Brunt ran for 106 yards against Valdosta…….Warner Robins wing T trio of Brian Sutton ,D.J Butts and Jonathan Jackson are each at 8 or 9 yards a carry , they will have a field day against the Cats…….Come on up Yo , you have time ,I have plenty of In-laws who are Cat fans who’ll be up tonight and ill be sitting with them on the visitor side ………Look for the only fool with a white Northside baseball cap mixed in a sea of Black and Gold.

Grayson is getting everything “thrown” at them and surviving everyones best games. Different this year being hunted instead of the hunter. I totally respect what the Grayson coaching staff has done there and their scheme. I do think they are beatable and hope in the playoffs they do not see North Gwinnett or Lowndes on their home fields. Hope they do see Lowndes in the dome. Nothing like a grudge match!!!
I heard Parkview could only practice twice this week with flooding and the head coach’s father passed away Thursday. Rough week for the Panthers. They played their hearts out and I wish them the best the rest of the season.
Brookwood turning a corner? Watching South Gwinnett and that quarterback I am wondering why Brookwood did not try to keep him. Someone said Brookwoods quarterback is a coaches son. I anticipate Brookwood loses to Grayson, Parkview, and South Gwinnett.

Anyway, for the love of God I cannot figure out why we let Kent Rollins go, I know he left because he is was not getting enough playing time and he is doing a fantastic job at South. Yes, Ben is the son of one of the coaches. I think Ben is doing a pretty decent job for us this year. As far as loses, Grayson might be our biggest challenge! We have home game advantage so hopefully we can take them down.
