Todd, Tomorrow I’ll get you the answer to your question about how many times Lowndes has scored on 50 plus yard plays this year. It’s been so many I can’t remember, But I have access to the game films and I’m sure our team statistician (one of our middle school coaches) has it written down in his little book.

This past week we scored on 2 of our 1st three plays. (Hey Peachtree Ridge, does that remind you of anything?) Our 1st play from scimmage windback Troy Strafford went 65 yards for a TD. Following the kickoff, then Tift county’s subsequesnt punt, we passed incomplete on the 1st play of our second possession. But the next play Khary Franklin went 85 yards for a td. Lowndes rushed for 409 yards in the game against Tift, but had only 20 yards passing.

Watch out for those Burke County Bears. They are the REAL DEAL with a dangerous QB. Just ask Statesboro, Brunswick, Ware County, and they will easily SPANK Baldwin this Friday. Eric Parker just might go ALL THE WAY to 15-0 and be AAA STATE CHAMPS in mid December.

Let’s keep it real in class AAAA, the state champ will come out of Region-6, Marist, Tucker, SWD; pick your poison. Stone Mountain, a surprise team, or maybe even Miller Grove, Lithonia, Chamblee can win football games outside of the Region. Other teams, you are who you think you are.. Good til the second round..

Todd: The last team to beat Northside in the regular season in Warner Robins was R.E. Lee of Alabama. The week before they lost to Peach County at home. (Info courtesy of ghsfha.com) They lost the 2001 state championship game to Parkview & lost twice to Warner Robins.

Why do u continue to have Camden County in the top 10 rankings? I know they won the title last year but they are the only 2 loss team in the any of the rankings. I can think of better teams that have one loss that deserve that ranking more then Camden County. Woodstock for instance. Yes they lost to McEachern but they lost in overtime and then they beat Etowah. Or any other team anyone else can think of. Until Camden beats a worthy team I would drop them for the top 10.

I stand corrected on Monroe Ares. The Hurricanes did manage a 6-4 record in ‘03, but other than that, haven’t had a winning season since 1995.

8-AAAA finishes like this: Apalachee wins the region at 10-0, followed by (in no particular order) Clarke Central, Madison County and Habersham Central.

I like the move for McEachern at the expense of Stephenson. Still no Region 6-AAAAA representation even at the expense of Camden?

Raider11Soccer – while the Woodstock victory over Etowah was significant. I can assure you that they won’t be ranked until they finish running the tables including a victory over EP at the end. No disrepect intended – just some reality and acknowledging some lack of respect for Region 5 and Region 6 in this poll. Woodstock does have the inside track to the #2 seed from Region 5… especially after Etowah whips EP this coming weekend!

Stephenson always lose a game they should not lose and Saturday was the game. The head coach never prepares his team for games like this. He has more talent than most schools in Georgia. Regardless of the talent Stephenson will not make it far in the playoff because this coach is a loser and does not know how to coach. I know Stephenson has average almost 10 wins a season under him but any coach can do that with talent. They are undefeated and probably will be undefeated going into the playoff but please don’t bet your money on Stephenson until they fire this coach and hire a good one.

Well We ( Stephenson ) needed to drop in the polls. From what i hear that was a VERY sloppy game Stephenson played!..one of the worst! I say from what i hear because the weather was TOO bad last Saturday night to attend the game. Now in Stephenson’s defense the game vs. Newton was played in BAD RAINY connditions, there were starters out onboth sides of the ball due to injuries and disciplinary problems..BUT u still have to come prepared to play..NO EXCUSES..THIS IS FOOTBALL!!!..Also to now, GOOD talented teams find a way to win and thats what Stephenson did..It was an UGLY win but we’ll take it! With that being said it’s getting real now..i understand that there may be HIGH ANTICIPATION for the WAR that will take place OCT. 16, 2009 at hallford…MLK VS. STEPHENSON on ESPN!!! But..Stephenson needs to focus on the opponents that will be faced that week..this week we have Luella. Looking at the schedule..were just about halfway through this season and Stephenson needs tobe gearing up for the playoffs and seeding now!!! I don’t know who the fourth seed will be yet in region 2AAAAA but right now the top three is looking like Stephenson, MLK, and Union Grove in NO PARTICULAR ORDER. Stephenson will have a good fight on there hands with MLK and maybe… Union Grove. Other than that Stephenson should coast through the rest of the season. Now coaching..I agree with all the talent that has been at Stephenson..we should have atleast 2 maybe three State titles..The coach has enough talent and speed to match up and BEAT ANYONE,ANYWHERE, ANYTIME!!! But..in playoffs the coaches have not prepared Stephenson properly. I’m mot here to bash RON GARTRELL but i do believe Stephenson is over due for a STATE TITLE..We have a teamthis year that can when state, but the question will be coming playoff time..How well prepared are the JAGS???..The Stephenson community is split over the coaching situation..and I believe that Stephenson really has to make a serious run at STATE this year or we mightsee some changes…Remember we have had great seasons and in the past two we were put out in the FIRST ROUND! That won’t cut it this year…But we’ll see! Right now lets win these games and get home field advantage for the PLAYOFFS!!

MUCH LOVE TO SWD AND.. MLK until Oct 16!!..LOL

GO JAGS

I know they are not ranked, but Hats off to coach Michael Carson and the Avondale Blue Devils. The second-year head coach has Avondale off to a 3-1 start, with the only loss coming to Lovett (26-20 in ot). With Buford coming into town, this will be an opportunity to put the once prominent program back on the map.. Good luck Avondale…

I remember a few years ago when Griffin’s basketball team put a beat down on South Atlanta for the State Championship. All people talked about all year was how Griffin payed a bunch of nobodies and South Atlanta had the best player in the state (Vick something). That year, Brent Petway (former Michigan forward) lead Griffin to the championship and dropped S. Atl like they were nothing.

Once again, keep talking about Griffin playing nobodies. They took out Mt Zion-Jonesboro, they’ll beat North Clayton, and then roll right on to the State Championship.

Fred, in response to your post in which you commented on Grayson’s stadium. I went there last year when Grayson defeated Lowndes. At least they have permanent restrooms accessible to the visiting fans. When we went to Parkview for the State Championship in 2004, there were nothing but portapots on the visitors side. They had spent tons of money on the “home side’ but the “visitors side” was one of the worst I’ve been in. In some stadiums, like Ware County, the metal visitors stands are not solid, and things like jackets, binoculars, purses, etc can fall right thru, and you can’t get under the stands to retrieve something that falls. Grayson has come a long way in a short period of time.

To you Camden bashers in Region 5 and 6, do you honestly think any of your teams, with the possible exception of McEachern, could beat Camden County? And that’s what polls are for. To pick the best teams. Besides, those region six teams are just passing time getting ready for baseball. (And they’re dadgum good at baseball, soccer, and girls softball.) Don’t get me wrong, Lasseter will go far in the playoffs, but beat Camden? Nahhh!!! Ain’t gonna happen this year!)

YO, the NSWR folks sure are quite this week for a team with such an impressive winning streak at home. Where is REESE, EAGLENATIONRIZING, AND NORTHSIDEDAD?

And YO, I don’t think mrga229 is a Lowndes Fan. And Gary, I’ve heard that Tomberlin is OUT unless he wins “a playoff game” this year. That’s sad, because he has proven (ala Washington County) that he can coach. Valdosta just isn’t the same place it once was. Gangs in the school, booster support not the same, etc. etc. And if they keep changing oaches every three or four years they’ll never get their tradition back. I can remember that after two or three years the fans were screaming to fire Nick Hyder. Charlie Green was fired after going 18-2 in his only two regular seasons. Mike O’brien, now at Woodstock, was fired a year or two after winning a state championship at Valdosta. Then they brought a hotshot up here from Orlando, FL and fired him after three years, which included a 1/4 final loss to MLK. I’ve heard that Rick Tomberlin put more players in college when he was at Washinhgton County than our whole Region 1AAAAA did during that time. But yes, he’s probably on the chopping block. Something’s not right with that. This Lowndes fan was glad to see Valdosta win Saturday night in Warner Robins.

It wasn’t really a beat down against S. Atlanta that year at GT. You guys pulled it out but S. Atlanta made some crucial mistakes down the stretch of that game to lose. Griffin had a good team and they weren’t overmatched at all going into that game. Vincent Banks was the guy from S. Atlanta and although he didn’t have a good game him fouling out in the fourth quarter changed the game.

All of that has nothing to do with the fact that your football team won’t win state this year. Your team is fast and physical but what happens when they meet a team just as strong and fast. In AAAA there are quite a few teams with those characteristics and even though Griffin is tough I don’t think they can make it.

All of you Viking fans know this is not 2008 when NSWR had a much more competitive team in 1AAAAA. We really were expecting to go in the range of 6-4 for the season and wait for next year to start talking. You guys and Grayson are the class of the state- so a lost against either is no big deal. Just don’t become complacent in taking any team for granted. If you or Grayson do not win state, it will be a surprise. We will be glad just to make the play-off. I do have one concern i.e. with a new Veterans High School playing in 2010 out student population will drop us to AAAA. The school board wouldn’t let any school add a wing(s) onto thier school like so many other counties. Jsut a question(?) How is it that Lowndes Student body is so much greater than Valdosta’s? Aren’t there more students in the city than in Lowndes County. .

Say it Aint So – I played football on the college level D-1A. Ron Gartrell is probably a good person and may have been an excellent athlete himself but the man can’t coach. The coach that left MLK had to leave and he didn’t last long at Mundy’s Mill. I am sure that Douglas is a lot better than what he has them playing. What did he do to impress you a MLK?
The way to gage a good coach is look at the school that does not have great athletes like Avondale they are winning with a good coach. Larger schools like Parkview and Brookwood has great athletes too but not like Stephenson. The different is the coaches at those schools has a game plan and make the necessary changes during the game. If Stephenson plays a school in the playoff that matches up well with them with good coaches, they will lose.

East Paulding Rules – not so fast! I wouldn’t say that Region 5 is down overall, but rather a shift in power. I do think Etowah is down from last year and McEachern has risen the #1 seed. The remaining playoff seeds are still up in the air, but should be Woodstock, Etowah, EP… in that order, but combined are more capable than last year. Woodstock controls their own destiny to a #2 seed, assuming they win out including a victory over EP at the end.

As for this Friday night, I know that Etowah will have an axe to grind after the tough loss to Woodstock on Friday… and a loss to EP last year to avenge. In other words, motivation will not be a problem. Let the countdown begin!

BOOM, BOOM, tick … the BOOMs are Etowah’s Offense & Defense… the ‘tick’ is the cap gun offense of EP.

re: Stephenson — What has changed since preseason? Well, Stephenson needed OT to beat Newton. I can’t rank teams based on what would have happened if all the starters had played and there were no suspensions. It’s WHAT happens matters, not WHY it happened, unless it’s a quality-of-opponent issue. If you squeek by MLK in overtime, I’m impressed with that. If you squeek by Newton in OT, you’re not playing as well as the teams I ranked in the top six. And consider that the preseason is an assumption of ability. As the season goes along, games matter more the assumptions.

Also, I’m not assessing Stephenson’s complete history of playoff performance, only last season’s playoff performance. Fair question about McEachern, a team that didn’t make the playoffs last season. But McEachern has defeated four returning playoff teams from AAAAA. Stephenson has beaten no high-quality opponent and nearly lost to a team that is in the lower half of AAAAA. That’s why every computer rating places McEachern far ahead of Stephenson. After Stephenson plays MLK, things might look differently for one or the other.

And finally, don’t be fixated on whether a team drops. If you’re making $100,000 a year and two of your co-workers get raises, you might ”drop” in the salary rankings. But that doesn’t mean you’re worth less than you were before. Being ranked No. 7 in Class AAAAA in Georgia is no insult, especially to a team that just beat Newton in overtime.

re: Lakeside — Lakeside is one of the most improved teams in the state. Not sure how anyone would quibble with that.

Decatur 4 Life: Griffin owned South Atlanta in that game. I have it recorded if you would like to see it again. Griffin controlled it from start to finish. The game was not as close as the score would indicate. South Atlanta relied on pure athleticism to keep them in the game and Vincent fouled out because he was get beat the whole night.

The reason I brought that up is because all I’ve read on these blogs is how ATL football is far superior to us in middle GA. People said the same thing about basketball and Griffin proved them wrong. No one knows what Griffin is capable of except those who have seen them play. They’re big and fast on both sides of the ball.

I’ve watched the Bears play for a long time and this team is superior to the 11-2 team that lost to eventual champion Statesboro by a score of 7-0 a couple years ago.

So tell me, since they are just as fast and physical as the teams in 6AAAA, why can’t they make it? Have you seen them play? 6AAAA backers always want to talk big but they have no idea what kind of buzzsaw Griffin really is. Take a quick trip down here and see what this team is really about.

What a team effort by the Vikings Friday night against Tift. The trenches had a “down” game so the secondary stepped it up!

Griffinite,

“So tell me, since they are just as fast and physical as the teams in 6AAAA, why can’t they make it? ” I heard this same argument all week last year from all the griffin fans before coming up to play Tucker. Y’all sure didn’t look as fast and physical when Tucker layed the wood 34-0. I believed the hype and was concerned about it then, but now your team just bores me. The teams Tucker & Marist (and yes I’ve seen them both play this year) have this season would have won that game last year. I didn’t see the game last year as I was watching Tucker beat Westside-Macon (another “untouchable” from your area) but personally I think you beating SWD last year was a fluke. Unless Griffin has had a bunch of transfers in, they aren’t going to be 34 points better against a 6AAAA team then last years team was. Keep winning this season, but remember, if you go undefeated before facing 6AAAA, it is just going to be a bigger disappointment for you after the loss. BTW – What happened to that loyal fan base y’all were ranting about last year. All we heard were buy your tickets early, the Bears fans are gonna be representing 5,000 strong at least. I don’t even think 500 showed up. Keep Dreaming Griffin & enjoy your lofty ranking while it lasts. This is 6AAAA’s world and we are glad you are along for the ride.

Griffinite: Find it pretty hilarious that you would pick Griffin’s last state championship to make a case. I was at the game and it was close, even after Vincent fouled out. The Hornets were a couple shots away from winning. Griffin biggest lead was something like nine points, which in basketball is not much. What you fail to mention is that since that last Griffin championship, Region 6-AAAA has produced the last six boys champion and last seven girls champions. Many times it was a Region 6-AAAA team vs. Region 6-AAAA team for the title. A few times, Griffin was put out of the championship by a Region 6-AAAA team.
I heard the same argument from Griffin fans during the 2006 football season before the Creekside game. We all know what happen then, 38-14 at Northgate Stadium. You remember that team with the great Bobby Rainey and Sidney Harris. Poor Eric Berry and his teammates were not supposed to be on the field with the Bears.

Todd: “I can’t rank teams based on what would have happened if all the starters had played and there were no suspensions.”
Injuries are part of the game, suspensions are not. Suspensions are caused players being selfish and putting themselves before the team. Just looking at the score will never tell you the real story of the game. You need to found out all the circumstances and the decision on the whole picture, and not just the score.
“But McEachern has defeated four returning playoff teams from AAAAA.” Do all those playoffs teams from last year that McEachern has beaten still have every single player back from last year? Judging from that, the Cincinnati Bengals should be considered the favorites to win the Super Bowl this season after beating the Steelers yesterday.
We are at the midpoint in the season, so last year’s playoffs shouldn’t have a bearing on the rankings. It is a good indicator for the preseason, but the season is halfway over.
And please, don’t give me an argument about a computer, because it can only give you the information that has been programmed.
Like former College Park and Riverdale coach Ken Ross use to say, “ A win is a win is a win.”

(Tell the Truth) i am not disrepcting stephenson but think about this to the teams they have have a combine record of win/losses SHS= 5 wins to 13 losses. Now McEachern is win/losses = 12 wins to 10 losses. So with that said McEachern also has better quality wins. I mean stephenson has played two AAA schools. So i mean thats why they may have sliped in the polls. Like i said im not disrepecting them i just dont know if they should be staying in the same spot when other teams have better quality wins. Now if you want History i mean the last time McEachern played Stepheson in 2004 McEachern Won. But that doesnt mean anything. Also how many region titles does stephenson have in the last 20 years? My point is it doesnt matter what you do in the past to get respect it might help but when it comes to the polls its how you finish people remember not the middle of the season.

Eye of the Tiger: I agree that the state champion will come from Region 6, but Marist and SWD are just better than Tucker this year. Tucker is still a top ten team in the state and will go far in the playoffs, but this year Tucker doesn’t quite have the team they had last year.

Griffin Bear: Griffin scored on 74 yard run and got to Marist’s 1 yard line on a very long pass. Using your logic, if you take away those two plays, then Marist dominated by holding Griffin to less than 50 yards as well. However, these plays are part of the game. Usually the team that makes the most big plays and has the most success in limiting their opponents big plays wins the game. I’m sure that other then the five touchdowns that Tucker scored Griffin dominated that game as well.

griffin is not a true number one.
they played marist and they were not good
they had maybe 2 big plays and thats all
they couldnt even score on 4 plays on the 1 yard line marist held them
and tucker is good but not that good
they just dont look like they did last year
swd vs. marist is the region championship this year

As a SWD player I hate to read the blogs sometimes because of the trash talk about something a lot of people don’t know about. Truth is we along with Marist are the teams to beat. Tucker is good and we dont overlook them, but once we kick our stuff into the next gear I don’t think any one can hang with us. The only way we lose is due to lack of intensity and poor execution. If we banging on all cylinders there is not a team in AAAA other than marist that can hang with us. Look for us to step it up in the latter part of our schedule.

To “pity poor” one way SWD will step it up is by getting back their starting quarterback who in case you did not know, went out with ankle injury on the first play of the first game of the year after scrambling for 10 yds for a first down. SWD has basically played the entire first half of the season without the starting quarterback, who by the way played very well in the Peachtree Ridge scrimmage.

Yeah I did see you guys play on CSS, and the fact is yall have plenty talent but I don’t think enough to win it all. Your region is not a good indicator of how good your team is, North Clayton is the only team worth talking about. That in itself will hurt you guys when you have to dig deep for the first time and can’t pull it out. As far as that basketball game against S. Atlanta that game was close. You guys controlled the game for most of the game but they turned the ball over too much down the stretch. Without those turnovers it’s a whole different ball game, bottom line. I don’t need to watch the game, I was there. It wasn’t the fact that Vincent Banks was getting beat he had a couple of calls that were questionable. Yall won the game but don’t make it seem like you dominated because that just didn’t happen. And I’m not even S. Atlanta fan but I was at that game.

I guess because I’m from Decatur I’m supposed to be a 6AAAA backer, wrong. I could care less about 6AAAA, I just made the comment that Griffin won’t win anything. Are you guys really in middle GA? Isn’t Griffin just past Clayton county. If south Georgians associate the Coweta schools with Atlanta then you fit in that category too. Bottom line you won’t win the state don’t matter how close you get, like I said on here before getting close only matters in hand greande throwing and horseshoes.

What are you talking about? I never said North Clayton ran the region where did I say that? I know exactly where Griffn is, you missed the point. I was saying folks in S. Georgia associate the Coweta schools
with the schools in the metro area. Did I say how far Griffin was from Decatur, no. My comment was about someone from Griffin saying they are in middle GA, in response I said isn’t Griffin on the other side of Clayton county. Somehow I don’t think that’s middle GA and who needs a navigator to watch CSS. I saw yall play and although I was quite impressed, you still won’t win the championship. Nobody disrespects Griffin, at least I don’t. One of the best coaches I’ve ever had is from Griffin, so don’t give me that crap about people downing Griffin. I said N. Clayton was the only other team worth talking about in that region, bottom line. The rest of that region is peach pie and you know it. Call my comments stupid all you want but the truth hurts, and I can’t wait until December either you’ll be at home watching someone else play for the title!

6AAAA, you know what…I’m gonna take the high road this time. I could bash you to no end, but I wont. You called me an Idiot. I’m proving you wrong. Only an IDIOT would respond in kind to such an imbecilic remark. I don’t need a thesaurus either, but do own one. So here is my stance on the whole deal. I RESPECT ALL THE HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES IN GEORGIA.. they put a lot of time and effort into being on the various teams. I know because I have been there. I have already admitted that I agree Griffin is in a weaker region this year, that can not be denied. We play the schedule given us. I don’t know much about Stone Mountain this year but do know they have a storied tradition there. Good Luck to them. And Furthermore, congrats to you on your degree from Stamford. Anyone that can finish college should be commended. Griffin is a really talented team this year, and one thing I can tell you for sure is that WE DO NOT DEPEND ON PAST RESULTS FOR THE TASK AT HAND NOW. So all this nonsense about “you lost last year and not since so and so is all MEANINGLESS to us now… we don’t care what happened in the past. That is HISTORY, and right NOW The Mighty Bears are forging a NEW PATH to VICTORY. So no matter how much you try to bash me or Griffin, I know my Fellow Griffinites have my back. I wish the Best for your favorite team this week, because they are not playing us. Untill next time, I bid you peace, and try taking the High road next time. GO GRIFFIN BEARS!

We’ll just have to disagree. McEachern and Stephenson both are undefeated, but McEachern has beaten 3 or 4 good teams, and Stephenson hasn’t beaten any good teams and nearly lost to a mediocre team. Again, I don’t care about why it happened. You’re ranked on performance, not excuses.

John: Rome/EP Crowd Discussion: I went and sat on the visitor side. My daughter went and at half time went to the home side to watch the band, and stayed there for the 3rd quarter. She told me there was a whole secdtion of EP fans over on that side also. From my perspective, yes I know the home stands are bigger, but they weren’t full by a far cry. I realize that they filled in a bit mid-way through the first quarter but the only thing that made it equal out a bit was the fact that the Rome band is alot bigger. All in all, I guess we could call it a toss up on the attendance, but for a first game of the year it was surprising that Rome didn’t have more. The playoff game a year or two ago was great because both team’s fans came out in droves.

Todd: I agree that Newton is a mediocre team and McEachern schedule has been stronger so far. I’m not making excuses for them not blowing Newton out, but there were two big circumstances surrounding the game – injuries to key players and the weather. A blowout win over Ware County in Waycross is proof they can do it. The weather was a factor for Stephenson because a team built on speed doesn’t always far well in inclement weather. Rain is the great neutralizer in high school football. If you don’t believe me, just ask Marist coach Alan Chadwick. He loves a rainy Friday night during football season. I say this to point out that there is more to a football game than just checking for the final score, because the score doesn’t tell the whole story. I guess if you were doing college rankings, Florida would not have still been No. 1 after not blowing Tennessee out. It probably didn’t matter that several players were recovering from the flu. Again, I’m not affiliated with a team, just a longtime high school sports fan.

Speaking of Griffin bashers, Lowndes went from 1980 to 1999 without winning a title again. It appears, from what I’ve read, that Griffin mostly likely could beat most AAAAA teams in the state this year, and certainly deserves the current number 1 ranking in AAAA. Besides, rankings are for this year’s team, with prior performance only coming into play only if there is a tossup between two teams.

Friday night at the MAC in Warner Robins is looming and getting closer and closer. I can hear the EP fans “ticking” down. I wish we had their cannon and could make it go BOOM lots of times. But I’m afraid this game is going to be one of those 10-7 kinda games. it sure would be nice to break their winning streak, like we did their overall regular season winning streak last year. Not having lost a regular season home game since the mid 1990’s is an awesome accomplishment.

RealisticEPFan – OK so your comments sting (a little), but I chalk-up the McEachern game more to an anamoly. Etowah moved the ball just couldn’t score when it got close (turnovers, etc). Part of the game, but the point is the score is misleading. McEachern was clearly the better team. The second loss to Woodstock was very close and the game could have gone either way (sloppy game by the way).

Etowah is still learning and we are dearly missing the big play potential we had last year in our FB. I just hope EP is looking past Etowah to Woodstock. Etowah is certainly not looking any further than this Friday. Be clear, I think Etowah is the underdog and I predict Chip will pick EP over Etowah. Not a bad place to talk smack from though.

Among Tucker’s “paper” wins last year were 2AAAA champ Brunswick, playoff-bound Chambee, Quarterfinalist SWD, playoff bound Whitewater, playoff bound Hillgrove, undefeated top-ranked Westside of Macon in the Quarters, a 34-0 win against Semifinalist Griffin, and an avenging state championship win against Marist, the same team that destroyed Tucker earlier in the season. That’s a pretty impressive resume’.

Dutchtown has like 15 starters back from last year and they are 5-0!!! alcovy is tough too!! i have never seen a weak region have all 4 teams advance to the second round of the playoffs 2 to the third and 1 in the final 4!!!

Region 6 only have 3 caliber teams!!! well 2 and a half cause tucker isnt the tucker of the past!!! they dnt have Drayton Calhoun or Johnathan Davis!!!!! Davis was tucker for the las 2 years!! he was the man! without him they are average!!!! thats it for region 6 everybody else suck!!! no disrespect but we all know its true!!!!! so that means that Marist SWD and Tucker only have 2 tough Games all year!!

I talked with someone who mentioned how impressed the newton coach was with how well the field held up after the rain,do you remember anyone slipping?

First of all, let’s get the facts correct. Posters like Todd Holcomb say things. It does not necessarily mean that they are true. The last visiting team to win a regular season game against Northside-Warner Robins was Robert E. Lee HS of Alabama on September 20, 1996. RE Lee beat Northside 16-7. It was not Peach County as Todd Hlcomb says, although he did his research which is rarely reliable when it comes to programs outside of metro Atlanta.

SportsFan, I know you are a big fan of Todd’s. However, I am growing tired of you guys constantly saying inaccurate things. Northside’s last regular season loss to a visiting team at McConnell-Talbert Stadium was to R.E. Lee (AL)

Finally, Northside has played many top tier programs over the past 5 years, 10 years, 15 years, and so on. To assume that the 2009 Lowndes County team is something different is borderline absurd. Nationally ranked programs from Warner Robins, Lowndes County, Valdosta, LaGrange, Camden County, and Parkview have faced the Eagles. This is life, annually, for Northside.

In Georgia, the home team of top tier programs generally has a significant advantage. If the 2008 Lowndes County team can not beat Grayson HS on the road, the Vikings should get mentally prepared for a different animal at the MAC against any Northside team. PERIOD!

For some strange reason, Vikings posters are asking for ENR. I am here. I anxiously look forward to yet another big game for our Northside Eagles. I was actually pretty excited about our big game at Valdosta a couple of weekends ago and Carver-Columbus the Friday before that. I love the way Conrad Nix schedules top opponents and our Region creates plenty of top teams.

I would like all posters to take a look at Lowndes County’s road track record. You can start with a couple of bookend playoff games. You can go back to 1997 when Lowndes County was undefeated, with the top ranked team in the state, and the top ranked defense in the state. That Lowndes County team got cracked at the MAC (McConnell-Talbert Stadium) by an below average 7-3 Northside team.

I will also point you to 2008 when Lowndes County was vying for a National Championship with the top athlete in the nation, a team that had not lost in years, one of the best defenses in the nation, and the top ranked team in the state. That team traveled to Grayson. That Viking team got cracked on the road.

Lowndes County has consistently played below expectations on the road against top flight teams in the state. I know that in Atlanta most of you outside of Grayson HS are unaware. Since we have played Lowndes for years (since the mid 1960s), most people in Middle and South Georgia now that Lowndes is very suspect on the road.

Expect the Viking road woes to continue Friday night at the MAC against a team that is the poster child for playing big at home in the state of Georgia. Go Eagles!

Go to the following website: http://www.northsidefootball.com. There you will see what is known around Warner Robins as “The Drive.” I will let AVikingFan, VikingDad, Todd Holcomb, and SportsFan31313, analyse “The Drive” for all the posters out there.

Just know that this is simply a visual of how challenging it is for even a superior team (Lowndes County was the best team in the state of Georgia in 1997) playing as a road team at McConnell-Talbert Stadium in Warner Robins, GA against the Northside Eagles. There is nothing in life that is impossible. This is America. However, it is borderline impossible to beat Northside-Warner Robins at the MAC during the regular season.

The last time a visiting team actually beat Northside, our nation was preparing to go the the polls to decide whether to re-elect Bill Clinton & Al Gore or put Bob Dole & Jack Kemp in the White House (R.I.P. Congressman Kemp). We have had 3 elections since then. Kids born in a couple years earlier are on high school teams now. It is almost a lifetime ago that a visitor beat Northside at the MAC in the regular season. Coupled with Lowndes County’s obvious road woes against good teams & their relatively soft schedule, I like Northside’s chances.

September of 1996 was a long, long time ago. Wake up all you Lowndes County bandwagon posters. Northside does not lose at the MAC. PERIOD! The Eagles have beaten 9-0 teams that were ranked #1 in the nation in that stadium. This is more of the same for the BIG BLUE!

Lowndes County versus top tier teams (and/or ranked teams) on the road over the past five seasons or so:

2008: Grayson 17, Lowndes County 7 (Grayson, GA)

2006: Tift County 13, Lowndes County 3 (Tifton, GA)

2005: Ware County 28, Lowndes County 7 (Waycross, GA)…Ware County finished second to last in their AAAA region & lost in the 1st Round of the AAAA State playoffs. Of course, Lowndes County went on the win the State Championship in AAAAA the same season after getting kicked around in the Jungle in downtown Waycross. The AAAA Gators rolled over the best team in AAAAA (Lowndes Co. were the defending State Champions). That (AAAAA) Lowndes County team was playing on the road with a 19 game win streak.

2003: Camden County 21, Lowndes County 14 (St. Mary’s, GA)

Notice the Viking pattern, no wins. Can any Lowndes poster (or Peachtree Ridge’s number one cheerleader Todd Holcomb) tell me one game where Lowndes County has beaten a top ranked Georgia high school program on the road in recent years? Todd, do not try to get cute with the answer. Winning as the road team in the Georgia Dome does not count in this open discussion. I am talking about Lowndes County packing their team, band, and parents on a bus and traveling to another top ranked team’s stadium and winning.

I just named a few top teams that made quick work of the Vikings on the road. I started with Grayson beating Lowndes County so soundly that their players and coaches nearly lost their minds on the field. Remember how the Vikings went out in that classless manner last season? ROAD GAMES effect a team’s mental makeup. Lowndes is borderline unbeatable at Martin Stadium. Show me proof that Lowndes is the same Lowndes on the road.

Lowndes even struggled at Valdosta last season and the Wildcats were terrible!

Northside at home in the regular season is easy since the turn of the century. Northside is unbeaten. That’s right. The Eagles are 35-0 against visiting team during the regular season since the 2000 season. The current streak sits at 50 straight regular season home wins against visiting teams at McConnell-Talbert Stadium. The MAC is clearly a house of horrors for any team visiting Warner Robins, GA!

Lowndes County has beaten no top tier programs on the road during the regular season over the same period of time. ZERO! Northside-Warner Robins is 112-12 (0.903) since 2000 playing top tier teams annually. Meanwhile, Lowndes County is 101-19 and rarely beats top tier teams on the road.

I am a little confused. Why exactly are Northside fans supposed to be intimidated? Oh yes, I get it Lowndes County beat Peachtree Ridge, an overrated metro Atlanta school, 51-17. My goodness, what was I thinking? You beat an Atlanta school and all of Warner Robins and Region 1-AAAAA is shaking. Give me a break!!!

Northside has proven our mettle on the field. No program in the larger classification program has won more this century. Guess what, Lowndes and AJC posters? Northside is not afraid. Northside even put a little reminder of just who we are on the Northside Eagle football website. We are not Peachtree Ridge!!!

EagleNationRising. You are wrong about two things. Lowndes beat a very good Camden team on the road in 2007 in the semis. And they beat a NSWR team in the dome in 1999 when NSWR committed the biggest flop of all time.

Your second mistake was in misquoting Todd Holcomb, the “STAT GERU”, who very carefully said the last GEORGIA ROAD TEAM to beat Northside was Peach County. In each of his articles when he brought it up he emphasized the last GEORGIA ROAD TEAM.

Marc, I have no doubts that it is coming at some point. It has to. It happens to everyone. My point is I am baffled that people are simply saying that Lowndes is the favorite when the Vikings have displayed an ability to lose to practically any decent team on the road. The Vikings just do not get it done when they travel. Perhaps, it is due to the distance. I do not know. I just know that it is highly unlikely that Lowndes County is going to take a team to the MAC and beat Northside-Warner Robins.

Vikings posters will not admit this. However, better Lowndes County teams have lost to mediocre Northside teams at the MAC.

AVikingFan: Since you have taken part in a “Misinformation Campaign About Lowndes County Football” and are now the Spokesperson for the “Committee to Save Todd Holcomb from his Inaccurate Information,” let’s address a couple of things.

1. It is a matter of FACT that the last visiting team to play Northside HS at the MAC during a regular season game and win is Robert E. Lee HS of Alabama. I find it comical that you and Todd Holcomb are now posing as Northside Historians. The date was September 26, 1996. Let’s not go in a circle on this because Todd Holcomb used some type of word magic to make Peach County the last Georgia team to win at the MAC versus Northside during the regular season, which is also accurate. The Peach County loss was on the previous weekend. At the end of the day, it has been over 13 years since Northside has been beaten at home by a visiting team in the regular season. There are 15 year old suiting up for varsity high school programs across the state. 13 years should at the very least garner your respect, AVikingFan, especially considering that some pretty darn good Lowndes County teams are a part of our current 50 game streak.

2. Lowndes County did not beat Camden County in St. Mary’s in 2007. That is flat out dishonest and disingenuous of you, AVikingFan. We expect more from football savvy fans in Valdosta. Lowndes beat Camden in the Georgia Dome. The Georgia Dome is the home field of the Atlanta Falcons. That is a neutral field and you know it! Lowndes has not rolled into St. Mary’s and beat Camden County. Stop lying to yourself!

3. Lowndes County has NEVER beat Northside in Warner Robins. NEVER! In 1999, Northside lost to Lowndes at the Georgia Dome, again the home field of the Atlanta Falcons, not the Northside Eagles. The first Lowndes County team to complete the regular season undefeated was in 1997. That team was the top defensive team in the state and ranked #1. Still, a very mediocre Northside team beat the Vikings, because the Vikings are not a strong road team. AVikingFan, do you remember this: http://www.northsidefootball.com/index.php.

BEATING CAMDEN COUNTY, NORTHSIDE-WARNER ROBINS, OR ANY OTHER PROGRAM IN THE GEORGIA DOME is far, far different than traveling to a hostile high school stadium and winning. Come on AVikingFan. I would expect that kind of ignorance from a metro Atlanta poster.

The challenge remains the same. Name one team that every poster would view as a top tier program that Lowndes County has beat on the road…in their stadium during the regular season. It should not be that difficult AVikingFan. For goodness sake, Lowndes County has won 101 games since 2000 and won four state championships. Surely, Lowndes traveled somewhere and beat a strong team. Name one big regular season road win for Lowndes. JUST ONE!

After you exhaust your search, AVikingFan, begin to realize what most people in Warner Robins already know. Northside-Warner Robins is going to beat Lowndes County at the MAC on Friday night, whether the biggest Peachtree Ridge fan in the state, Todd Holcomb, thinks so or not! I have great respect for Lowndes County. I just do not see any tangible evidence that Lowndes County plays well on the road as the visiting team. Grayson proved that last year as they easily beat Lowndes.

Heck, Lowndes even lost 43-3 to Lovejoy HS. I doubt there were 2000 people watching a Lovejoy HS game. AVikingFan, Lowndes County’s road woes continue in a big way Friday night in Warner Robins.

Sportfan31313: You are a little batty today. When Northside lost to Camden County last year, our season was over. What did you expect me to do? Should I have pulled a SportsFan31313 or Todd Holcomb and jump aboard another bandwagon? I do not operate like that. If Warner Robins or Houston County were still playing, I may have remained on the board, because I have familarity with their programs. It was officially basketball season at Northside. It was time for Northside to win another One Act State championship, another Forensics state championship, and/or another State Literary championship along with watching some boys’and girls’ hoops. They do not have chat boards for that. If they did, you would really see where Northside excels. I actually posted after going to some of the State Championship games in the Georgia Dome.

It is a little disingenuous of you to paint me as a front-running Eagle fan. I honestly take a little offense to that. I have been on this board for a few seasons now. Yes, the first two seasons, Northside went undefeated. Therefore, I was talking trash throughout the entire season. However, I moved to Atlanta and I have followed my alma mater (high school). I do not see the point of chatting up some program that I have no ties to. If you ask me and most Eagle fans, I am convinced that last season’s Eagles would have beaten any team in the state at home (the MAC) or a neutral field. The truth is we got a little unlucky by having to travel to St. Mary’s to play Camden County in the 2nd round after going 9-1. We went 10-2 and lost both games playing at nationally ranked programs. The 2008 Northside Eagles were as strong as any program in the state last year. I did not run away last season. Our season was over.

On October 3, 2008, Northside played a nationally televised football game that the AJC called the biggest and most anticipated high school football game since the integreation of schools in the state of Georgia. The final score was Lowndes County 24, Northside 7. I did not go anywhere. I said congratulations to Lowndes posters and backed my Eagles to a great 9-1 season.

Why would I go anywhere after Friday night? I am a Northside Eagle fan. I will be around until Northside takes the final snap of the season. I am far from a front-runner, partner. To suggest so, is a little disingenuous. We are very excited about our young team in Warner Robins. We are already proud of our young Eagles. That is why I am a little miffed at this assumption that Lowndes County is going to ride into Warner Robins and house Northside. The truth is Lowndes has NEVER really been a program that rides into other people’s stadiums and embarrasses them. They generally lose big road games. That is not a knock on Lowndes. It is a fact.

(BIG) ADVANTAGE: Northside-Warner Robins

Northside-Warner Robins 23, Lowndes County 14. You heard it here SportsFan31313. SportsFan31313, have you ever been to a big high school game at McConnell-Talbert Stadium? Seriously? You act as though it is an accident that a program wins 50 straight regular season games against visiting teams.

Bulldawgblue, with all due respect, I had not visualized a scenario that any top Region 1-AAAAA team would lose to a team from Region 7-AAAAA. I see the semifinals being something like Northside-Warner Robins, Lowndes County, Valdosta, and Warner Robins. I guess I should expand my imagination.

Honestly, I should get up there and watch some of the top Gwinnett teams. I have watched some of the teams in DeKalb County & Cobb County. I left unimpressed. Perhaps, Gwinnett County football is what I have been missing. I just saw a highly hyped program from Norcross when I first moved here and I thought that it was the biggest waste of great talent that I had ever witnessed outside of what happens with strong DeKalb programs like Southwest DeKalb, Stephenson, Tucker, etc. You know, the dancing band regions with the teenage girls wearing bathing suits and shaking like 16 year old strippers for 15 minutes during every halftime.

Lowndes 2004 state championship in Parkview on the road.
The team who had just won 3 straight state championships
and considered unbeatable in the Big Orange Jungle.

Now ENR I am a little disapointed in you. I thought Northsides tradition was better than that that you would think of a 7-3 northside team having something called “the drive”. I suppose beating Lowndes is a greater accomplishment than winning a state championship in Northside’s minds?

What about “the drive” the nights went out in middle Georgia against Parkview in the state championship. Oh thats right getting to the 20 yard line doesn’t constitute enough to be called “the drive”.

Funny how you choose to take only regular season games to keep your winning streak alive. At Lowndes we count all of the games, not only the ones we find convenient to make our argument.

What about “the drive” in the Dome to make it 31-28. That one is convenient to forget if you are ENR too, isn’t it?

How many times has McPherson coached team lost in the mac?
Can’t quote that streak can you?

What is Northsides record against McPherson coached teams in any stadium? Don’t want to remember that streak do you?

Man….you have your bac, bac, bac, bac, bac, bac going early.
Hit it hard though because it “will” end Friday night in the place
where the lights went out in middle Georgia otherwise known as
Lowndes new docking station for their ships to sail on to their next State Championship known as The Mac. We are about to have fond memories of “The Mac”.

So crow hard my friend, because it will soon sound like hen pecking in
everyones memories.

ENR, I consider Lowndes’ “road” win this year in Colquitt County an accomplishment. I consider “road” wins against Valdosta an accomplisment. But I’m not about to say I can stand toe to toe with you in beating my chest and putting down other programs and teams.

The way you have taken over this blog with posts that go on and on and on makes me wonder why good folks inquired about your absence. But I am savvy enough to know you won’t be here for the whole season. You’ll hibernate next week, for a while, wondering what the heck happened and how the heck did Lowndes score so many points on your over-rated NSWR. But then you’ll come back, spouting hate and contempt for a few games, until NSWR loses in the 2nd or 3rd round of the playoffs, then goes back to Class AAAA next year, where they really belong.

You don’t want to talk about Warner robins beating NSWR in the regular season and you only want to talk about Lowndes regular season road wins. But are not playoff road wins important also? Lowndes has beaten Stephenson, Southwest Dekalb, Parkview, Harrison in 2007, Northside Warner Robins, Camden, a good Lovejoy team in 1999 and regular season wins against Valdosta, Colquitt, Tift, Coffee, Ware, Warner Robins ON THE ROAD! And Lowndes has 5, count’em, five state championships in the state’s highest classsification and NSWR has none. Nada! Zero! Zilch! In fact NO TEAM OUTSIDE OF LOWNDES COUNTY HAS FIVE OR MORE STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS IN THE STATE’S HIGHEST CLASSIFICATION.

SportsFan31313, what have we done calling this jerk back?

OMG: No OMG, myself nor most posters or sportswriters in the state of Georgia are going to buy that Warner Robins High School is a visiting team at McConnell-Talbert Stadium. The MAC sits directly across the street from Warner Robins and the Demons baseball field is adjacent to the MAC. Any clown proclaiming that Warner Robins playing as the visiting team at the MAC is a road game is either not from Warner Robins or on something.

BulldawgBite: I honestly believe that you have a valid point. Home field makes a big difference. Grayson proved it last season when they beat Lowndes County, who was surely a better team than any team in the state last season. Home field is huge. There is no reason to believe Regiona 7 can not protect their home field.

All I want to say is, come this friday night, ENR will be nowhere to be found. No offense ENR, NSWR may be a great team… and even more formidable at home; but these are not the Vikings of 1997, these are McPherson’s Vikes, and they eat eagles for breakfast! Oh well, we do hope to see you on here Friday night!

And just a heads up, I am not a Lowndes fan; I played for Valdosta. Obviously you should’ve atleast heard of the Valdosta-Lowndes rivalry. But here you are just insulting everyone’s common sense. Common sense would say Lowndes over NSWR at the Mac! And as you said, “THIS IS AMERICA, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE” well… try boasting your streak on here friday night!

I really want to say Lowndes 55 – 21 NSWR

As per Valdosta,… I do hope they take it to 5-1.. This team is the best one VHS has had in a while… and they deserve to atleast make it to the playoffs this time around.

Yo, Coach McPherson is 1-0 against Northside and he has NEVER coached against Northside at McConnell-Talbert Stadium in his life. He has coached at Camden County, a similar hostile environment where his Viking teams are winless at 0-2. He has coached and lost at Ware County, a smaller stadium than the MAC. He has also traveled to Lovejoy and lost 43-3. He also coached Greg Reid, who is arguably the best athlete in college football today, and lost at Grayson 17-7. There is a pattern Yo. The Vikings are suspect on the road.

You are welcome to provide additional information which points to evidence that Lowndes County plays well on the road. Unfortunately for posters like you and AVikingFan, the information overwhelmingly points to a program (players and coaches) that struggles on the road.

Northside has had post-season success and disappointment. What I find it challenging to understand is how you guys proclaim that Northside has struggled in the regular season, especially at home. Northside is 112-12 since 2000, undefeated, and we are supposed to cowtow to Lowndes County. Yo give me one time that Lowndes County has traveled to a strong opponent and won on the road during the regular season…just one. I can give you plenty of road beatings that they have taken.

For all of your hype of Randy McPherson, I find it borderline impossible to logically explain the manner that Lowndes County went out last season at Grayson. It was classless and points to a program that lacks discipline. I will go on record. No undisciplined program is going to beat Northside-Warner Robins at the MAC…even with our team full of 10th and 11th graders.

In the past 20 years, Valdosta has one a National Championship, 4 State Championships, and won 10 or more games ten different seasons. Over that span of 20 years, Lowndes County is 1-9 versus Valdosta teams that won 10 or more games (clearly a sign of a good season, especially in Valdosta). Lowndes County has NEVER beaten a 10 win Valdosta team at Bazemore-Hyder Stadium.

Again Yo, you join the same club that Todd Holcomb and AVikingFan belong to. You are making things up. Please, tell me the year that Lowndes beat Valdosta at Bazemore-Hyder against a strong Valdosta team. Valdosta churns out strong teams. One would think that the Vikings have certainly had their chances.

Show proof Yo. Name the season or be quiet.

ENR the name Parkview strikes fear into you. Your knees are to weak and shaky to even say the name. The thought of a team coming into ENRs “mytholigically in his mind” feared Mac and beating Northside in the biggest game of the season. Come on ENR say it. Parkview beat us at the Mac. It wasn’t a night mare ENR it really did happen. Wasn’t that long ago ENR so surely your selective mind can remember. Think ENR, I know the memories are painful but you “can” recall. Think. Maybe we can get Reeze to do a little hypnotic recall for you to pull out those painful memories of Northside losing at the Mac. At the Mac ENR, At the Mac! Lowndes has beaten good Valdosta teams you can be sure and it was during the Hyder and later years and at Death Valley. By the way ENR I know you have great tradition but it is hardly in the same state as Valdostas and we are not going to be any more intimidated by you than we are by going to Valdosta. In fact, if Valdosta is healthy I am anticipating a harder game from them this year at Martin stadium than I am from ENRs losers to Parkview in the state Championship game AT THE MAC.

1999-Lowndes won 3 straight road games, 2 of which were against undefeated teams before beating what Northside thought was “Gods gift
to high school football teams”. Lowndes had to travel 3 plus hours to beat the so called “Gods gift to high school football teams” and Northside a little over an hour.

Those Parkview/Lowndes road memories are just too painful to remember though aren’t they ENR? Pray for rain ENR, it is your only chance to keep the score close. The only way you will beat Lowndes is if we give you the game like Valdosta did. 28-0 Lowndes. Shaq will be wearing size “3″ shoes by the end of the night.

We will try not to emotionally hurt your heralded sophomore and junior classes so badly that they can’t get it back in time for your chance at going back to AAAA and getting you a title. Thats right ENR….AAAA.

You are a great football team when in AAAA. Now you are back in AAAAA
and well…you are now just a “good” football team.

Unlike 1997 we are healthy and we will be renaming your Mac to Martin Stadium #2.

2 years in AAAAA and owned by Lowndes both years. How does the thought of that make you feel ENR?

Beaten by Lowndes in Martin Stadium and then beaten by Lowndes in Martin Stadium #2. I’m thinking we might begin to like Martin Stadium #2 so much we might recommend them moving the state championship to our new home stadium away from home every year.

Then on the other hand, maybe not. We will just use it for a practice field because I hate that stupid track. We start practice this Friday night against YOU!

Be sure to stay the “whole” game and endure the agony ENR.

But don’t blink as you might miss not 1 but 2 Viking touchdowns.

ENR – Could you please tell everyone how long it’s been since NSWR lost at the MAC? I don’t think you’ve mentioned that “fact” yet. Also, please tell us how many “great” teams Lowndes has beat as the visiting team. I don’t think you’ve mentioned that either. It will make Friday all the more enjoyable! ENR is definitely correct in one thing – he is DEFINITELY not a front running NSWR fan. I’ve met many of them and they are way too classy for ENR to be considered among them.

EagleNationsRising,

You are a heck of a fan for your NSWR. There absolutely no doubt that you are a REAL NSWR fan to your heart. To answer your question of What do I expect you do? Well for myself, I am not only a Bradwell Institute Fan, but I am also a South Georgia Football fan as well. When Bradwell Institute lost in the 2nd Round to Lowndes County, I was pulling for Region 3-AAAAA Canden County. Had Lowndes County didn’t get upset by Grayson last year, I also would have been pulling for them. You see EagleNationsRising, if there was no other South Georgia team to pull for ad NSWR was there to play against a North Georgia team, I would pull for NSWR. Anything else would have been selfish. I’m sorry you feel that I am being a little disingenuous in putting you as the front runner as a Eagle fan. I am also sorry that you are taking offense to this. My question now is what do you want out of this ENR? You are the one person that is mostly on this Blog commenting about the Northside Warner Robbins Eagles correct? I am a little baffled about what ENR is saying. Can anyone on the blog help me out here? ENR is coming off to b a bit condescending, and a bit over bearing. Am I wrong for saying this?

I don’t believe that Northside Warner Robbins will beat a Lowndes County Viking football team this year. I don’t care where the game is held. McConnell -Talbert Stadium, The Boneyard, Savannah Memorial Stadium, the Georgia Dome etc. I don’t care. For Eagle Nations Rising to say that Lowndes County will lose to Northside Warnr Robbins 23- 14. I will ay that EagleNationsRising thoughts are just wishful thinking. What do you think about that AVIKINGFAN?

It always amazes me the things people say on this post. I am a true Griffin Fan. I love and support them whether they won or lose and truthfully the post on here earlier was incorrrect Griffin does NOT have the best fans anywhere. We have very few loyal fans, most just get on the winning bandwagon and go along for the ride. Those riders are the first to complain about everthing and everybody. I think it is truly a shame that the fans of the 80’s are gone. I remember a day when you would stand in line all night to get playoff tickets. Ironically, our current coach (DeVoursney) has an incredible record with the Bears, and our continued support is still not there. Early a Tucker fan commented about the crowd that we brought to Tucker and they were correct, but Tuckers crowd was also not very impressive either. It is a shame that all schools can not have the following the Warner Robbins and Valdosta area schools have.People wander why they have such incredible teams, it’s because of the support they have. I am saying all of this because, support is what these teams need, not criticism. I truly think that people do not give my Bears the respect they deserve. We have been to th playoffs every year since Coach Devo has taken over and have made it to the final 4 twice. So heck yeah we are proud of our guys, and I think they are pretty great this year. Do I know if they are number one, no I don’t, however I don’t know if SWD, Tucker or Marist are either. So let’s all be honest ans conceed that we have not seen everybody play and even if you have, anyone can have an off week.

Griffin Bear

I never said 6AAAA was stacked either, but at least those three teams that you named are perenial powers in the playoffs. That’s a better track record than Alcovy, Dutchtown and Mt. Zion. I saw the Mt. Zion Griffin game, they were in it until the second half before Griffin’s linebacker knocked the helmet off the Mt. Zion ball carrier on fourth down. I agree, Mt.Zion didn’t have a bad team but you and I know they won’t get too far if they make the playoffs. Across the board that region is no good that’s why I made the comment. Sure Griffin and North Clayton are the front runners but the rest of the field is just plain mediocre.

ENR-

What is the goal of a high school football team?

TO WIN A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP!

We can talk about records over the last 10 years during the regular season on the road against quality opponents when the moon is full, the day is an odd number, the grass is mowed to less than on half inch, the square root of the sum of the home teams’ captains’ jerseys is a whole number, and the PA announcer is drinking Mountain Dew, and I am sure that would yield some very interesting, albeit MEANINGLESS, statistics.

I believe Lowndes will crush NSWR this Friday, and if they do, but NSWR goes on to win the State Championship, does that mean that Lowndes is better since they got the quality regular season road win? Of course not!! I’ll take a loss during the regular season (even to NSWR at the totally scary Mac, lol!) where my team recovers and goes on to win it all, over bragging about some ultimately meaningless regular season road win and then going on to choke in the playoffs.

So let’s ask the one question that really matters in terms of a record for getting the job done:

HOW MANY STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS DOES EACH TEAM HAVE OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS?

Fact is, even that stat doesn’t mean a thing come Friday night, but at least we will be comparing teams on whether or not they have accomplished their goal each season.

That said, I am just an uneducated ignorant South Georgia redneck, so I will rely on ENR to enlighten me as to why State Championships are not the standard by which we should measure teams.

GO VIKINGS!!!

Bulldawg Bite,

As far as Camden County goes Coach Jeff Herron always seem to pull something out of his book of tricks to beat a team. The only team has ever beaten Camden County in Region 3-AAAAA is Bradwell Institute, and that was a while ago, and after Bradwell Institute lost a lot of talent due to the building Of a new County High School (Liberty County Region 3-AAA) Bradwell Institute have not beaten Camden County. However; this year is very interesting… Both Teams are rebuilding. Bradwell Insititute has a lot of young inexperienced players (sophmores) on both sides of the ball yet they have still managed to remain number one in Region 3-AAAAA. Bradwell Institute and Camden County meet the very last game of the regular season, and it will be for the Region Title. Anyway you look at it, either Team will finish either the number one seed or the two two seed in the Region entering the post season playoffs. For region 5 this week, I believe East Paulding will pull one out over Etowah due to home field advantage that East Paulding has. This will be a good game though.
