I am looking for the Wolverines to take care of Harrison tomorrow night.
THE CANNON RULES!!!

wolverine fan…
Harrison at 3/2 & 3/1 in the Region has a tough road left…They have Woodstock, EAST, McEachern, Marietta & then finish with Etowah…They can easily finish at 4/6 this year!!!
Unless ya’ll stumble Woodstock should be the #2 seed for the region with Etowah at #3…I have to say that the number #4 spot is still VERY much in doubt and EAST has to step up and prove they want it (after last weeks disaster at Etowah)!!!…
North Cobb at “The BONEYARD” this week then we will see where EAST is at…

As a fan, the bye week is kinda tough.
Although I believe Woodstock should have no problem, I will be rooting for the Hoya’s.
Cannon – You guys were drubbed last week, and I am not surprised. Etowah is improving and may have found a new running back, finding the holes behind that stellar O-line. Over 400 total team yards rushing, and not trying to throw it around like they did against Woodstock. Back to Etowah, grind it out beat you up football. Finally, doing what you do best, halfway through the season.
East will bounce back this week against a less physical team at their “Boneyard”.

North CLayton vs Griffin is the biggest game in the state this week
EagleNationRising

11:52 am
There are a myriad of great games. However, I hope that all eyes are on these HUGE games this Friday night:
1. #2 Griffin at #5 North Clayton. This AAAA clash should be very good. Of course, you always have to give an advantage to a home team. Of course, the Bears will not have to travel far. Griffin has great tadition and may have more fans than North Clayton at their home stadium. Bears travel in every sport. I fully expect the G Men to continue rolling. Griffin 28, North Clayton 14
2. Valdosta at #5 Lowndes County (ranked #4 in the Coaches’ Poll AAAAA). One of the premiere high school rivalries in the nation. Valdosta is clearly in a “must-win” situation if the Wildcats have any plans of controlling their own destiny into the state playoffs as they sit at 1-2 in region play. After going 5-5 last season and 1-9 3 years ago, it would be assumed that Rick Tomberlin (who has won 3 State Championships as head coach at Washington County) and his staff have to reach the state playoffs. Lowndes County underperformed, yet again, on the road last Friday at the MAC and will look to restart their march to the Georgia Dome. This game has all the makings of a classic. I am putting Lowndes County on “Upset Alert” this week. My instincts tell me that the Vikings are going down. I still have to respect Martin Stadium. Lowndes County 21, Valdosta 17. (I know Wildcat posters. I am afraid to trust my instincts. I am afraid to pick against Lowndes coming off of a loss…Valdosta is probably going to win this game).
3. Newton at #8 Martin Luther King. Before you roll your eyes. Covington’s Newton HS lost to Stephenson 13-7 in overtime two weeks ago. I have constantly blogged about how SUSPECT DeKalb County schools are for no reason. There is no rhyme or reason…just the fact that your average DeKalb County power is going to lay down a couple of Friday nights per season. They have all of the best players yet discover new ways to pull defeat from the jaws of victory. Who does MLK play next Friday night? Stephenson. My guess is MLK had, at max, one pep rally this week. Newton is pumped up for this game and believe that they could have beaten Stephenson. I believe that MLK will be looking forward to Stephenson and get caught sleeping at the wheel this weekend. MLK is officially on “Upset Alert” this week. Newton 14, MLK 10.
4. Woodstock at Harrison. The Harrison Hoyas have been one of the best metro Atlanta programs over the last few years. They have beaten Lowndes County at Martin Stadium. They have adavanced in the state playoffs and won 9 or more games 9 of the past 11 seasons. However, the Hoyas took a mighty step backwards losing to a winless Kennesaw Mountain team last Friday night. I am unaware if the Hoyas had some major injuries or suspensions. You just don’t lose to an 0-4 team and then turn around and beat Woodstock, who should be undefeated and ranked in the Top 10. Big win for the Wolverines. Woodstock 28, Harrison 13.
“Upset Alerts” for a few top ranked teams.
–#5 Lowndes County on “Upset Alert” against Valdosta. #5 Lowndes County 21, Valdosta 17
–#8 MLK on “Upset Alert” against Newton. Newton 14, #8 MLK 10
–#2 Griffin HAMMERS #5 North Clayton. Griffin 28, North Clayton 14

Also watch:
#5 Treutlen (5-0) at #6 Emanuel County Institute. A clash at ECI. ECI is the home team. However, Treutlen has a balanced team with a QB throwing over 800 yards and their top RB rushing over 700 yards. Washaun Ealey is a Georgia Bulldog. Treutlen 28, ECI 21.
Cairo (3-2) at #2 Peach County (5-0). This is going to be very, very ugly as the road to what will be the most competitive and exciting state playoff matchups in AAA continues (Gainesville, Peach County, Carrollton, Washington County, Baldwin County, and Carver-Columbus are all going to make a legitimate run to the Georgia Dome). Peach County VIOLATES Cairo. Peach County 35, Cairo 7.
#4 Carver-Columbus (4-1) at Troup (4-2). Do not believe the hype. Carver-Columbus will be merciless at Troup HS in LaGrange. Troup is loaded with major NCAA Division I prospects. Carver-Columbus continues to display why they are on of the most talented teams in the state. Carver-Columbus 28, Troup 0.

While I can appreciate the “Upset Alert”… I don’t agree with your generalities, you obviously don’t know much about the coaching staff @ MLK…if you did you would know that they don’t allow their kids to look beyond the next game. There were no pep rallies and they know that this Newton team is not the same team from a year ago.

Brookwood is the only thing standing between Grayson and an undefeated regular season. If Brookwood pulls off the upset, and there’s always a chance, it would be one of the biggest wins in the coaching career of Mark Crews.
Does Grayson smash Brookwood? Or do the Broncos shock the world? Post your opinion, please.

Grayson over Brookwood but it will be close. Brookwood took the bye week to come watch Grayson and sent their video crew to get lots of tape. (And a sideline penalty for the Rams for getting on the field! Remember the flag that got thrown and then waved off? I never remember seeing Coach Conn that upset!
) While Brookwood wants to avenge the loss from last year, the Rams want to get to the Dome worse. Rams by 7.

October 8th, 2009

If MLK is upset by Newton, it won’t be because they are looking ahead. MLK might be without a significant portion of their offense. Starters QB Cameron Myers and RB Mack Brown did not play last week due to injuries that occurred in the Luella game.
So you be the coach, do you rest your recovering star players for the big ESPNU game the following week or do chance re-injury by playing them too soon?

Wow if Myers and Brown dont play for MLK that could be disastrous, but this is when MLK has to show some real heart and discipline. MLK still has enough talent to compensate vs Newton but they need to play mostly penalty free if Myers and Mack Brown dont play. Lets go Dekalb County.
GO UG!

Say What, I agree with you. They will probably sit them out unless they absolutely have to have them in. I don’t think for a minute that MLK is looking past Newton. The secret is out, Newton is pretty good.

And to Carvell — I pick Grayson but it should be closer than usual. Mark Crews himself said his Broncos were awfully “young” this season and Grayson has the benefit of experience. Should be a really cool game and I can’t wait for your live updates. Always a blast, my friend.

REEZE,”Here you go again”. Regardless of how poorly Newnan played in the 2008 semi-final game against Camden County, they DID make the semi’s. Also whipped Tift County 42-0, while Lowndes struggled to whip the same Tift county team 28-14. I believe that 2008 Northside lost to Lowndes 24-7. I will go along with you on the relatively weak region schedule of the Cougars. But what about Camden County? MUCH weaker. In fact, I believe that the majority of teams in the Camden County region are technically AAA teams (and not very good ones.). Here is a question: “Is a team better off playing a relativley soft region schedule while minimizing injuries and playing lots of back-ups, or is a team better off playing a brutal regular season schedule while raising the possibility of injuries and having less time to work in the back-ups?” For Newnan and Camden County the latter seems to be true. Both teams took heavy losses in graduation, but both are back. Could that be because their 2008 back-ups got more reps? I have not seen as many games as in 2009 as I would have liked. But from the teams I have seen: Carver-Col, Northside, Newnan, Gainsville and of course LaGrange, I would bet on the Newnan Cougars as being the best I have seen this year. As you well know, I am a south Georgia believer. While on that subject, I believe we need to define “south Georgia”. My definition: “All teams south of I-285.” That includes Newnan.

I did not make a mistake on the prediction of the Newton and MLK game. I do not mean this as disrespectful in any way. I can tell you guys that I was scared to death when Northside played Houston County a couple of weeks ago. Houston County has more senior starters. Houston County has NEVER beaten Northside…NEVER. Northside had Lowndes County after Houston County. That has all the makings of an upset.
The MLK-Newton game has all the making of an upset. The only thing that would solidify it is the game is not being played in Covington. MLK is home. However, MLK has some injuries. MLK also has a HUGE game against Stephenson 8 days from now. This game has the makings of an upset. MLK is favored and should be. They have built a fine program in a hurry.
I did not mean it as an insult to the coaching staff. The MLKs, Stephensons, and Southwest DeKalbs usually wait until playoff time to start sinking. I believe that MLK will have a wonderful season. I believe this Friday night will be one of the weekends that MLK slips up. They are on “Upset Alert.”

Any who believes that Lowndes County is going to walk over Valdosta, you have no idea what it means to play and grow up in a special Friday Night Lights kind of town. Valdosta is not going to get crushed by Lowndes County. Look at the history of the series. Even immensely weak Wildcat teams have competed when Lowndes County we REAL good. This team is good…as is Valdosta.
The Valdosta Wildcats should have beaten Northside-Warner Robins. I stand as one of the true Northside Eagles homers on this board. I happily admit it. Many Valdosta people would tell you that the Wildcats should have beated Colquitt, without their starting QB (playing both Northside-Warner Robins and Warner Robins in back-to-back games is going to obviously produce injuries).
Lowndes County is on “Upset Alert” tomorrow night. Anyone doubting that doesn’t know anything about the rivalry between Valdosta and Lowndes County. Trust me, every objective Northside poster will tell you that Northside is going to be on “Upset Alert” when the Eagles face Warner Robins and a few weeeks. These are HUGE rivalries and mean everything on these campuses. The Vikings have their hands full. No matter who is coaching them. It is going to be a war at Martin Stadium. Valdosta will NOT be Peachtree Ridged by Lowndes on Friday night.

YO, Why not question the offensive strategy of lowndes? Glad to hear that mighty Lowndes is in fact spreading the field a little more. But, you must admit that the lowndes offense has struggled on and off for the past several years. Granted, not many losses, but the common denominator when losing is offense. Be honest. During the 2008 loss to Grayson, were you not looking for more offensive creativity? The defense played well enough to win. But NO offense. In 2008, Greg Reid was the BIG difference in the win over Northside. So, how can I slag on Lowndes? I really can’t. But what I see is a trend that could turn Lowndes into Parkview. A team that had their run, then became complacent from a coaching standpoint. Coach Mcpherson already has state titles to his credit. Is he now just looking for wins to boost his credentials or still working as hard as he once did for championships?

EaglesNationRising: I differ with you because you do mean it as a disrespect to coach Gartrell, Jarvis and Godfrey, because that is all you say when you mention these teams. Below, I have listed both Stephenson and MLK’s playoff games since 2000. Pick the “bad” team in this bunch. Not exactly the Little Sisters of the Poor. There is not a team on that list upon who make you scratch your head and say, “How did they lose to them.” Stephenson very rarely loses to a team that it should beat during the regular season. From 03-’06 they lost to the team that won the AAAAA championship.
Stephenson
2000- Collins Hill 20-0
2001- Valdosta 31-28
2002- Camden 21-20
2003- Camden 26-0
2004- Lowndes 43-0
2005- Lowndes 20-0
2006- Peachtree Ridge 12-9
2007- East Coweta 14-7
2008- Coffee 17-14
MLK
2003 – Thomas County Central (quarterfinals)
2004 – LaGrange (semifinals) won at Peach & Oconee Co.
2005 – Hart County (second round) won at Carrollton
2006 – Houston County (first round)
2007 – Walton (second round) beat Valdosta
2008 – Tift County (first round)
As you remember, Northside’s only two state title have come in 2006 and 2007, but before then, they were known as chokers. Do I need to remind you of 1998 at McEachern and 1999 in the Georgia Dome. You remember, Lowndes up 28-3 at halftime and Northside lose 31-28. I sat on the Northside side with my best friend and if those fans could have got to the “great” Conrad Nix, he would not have made it to Warner Robins that night.
That 1999 Lowndes team beat SWD at Memorial Stadium (now Hallford) on a controversy call to end the game.
Yes, SWD has loss some game that they probably should have won and won some that they probably shouldn’t have. Northside has loss some that they probably should have won in the postseason during his two stints in Warner Robins.
If you ever had the pleasure of meeting Gartrell, Jarvis or Godfrey, I think you would quit your trashing of them. I certainly guarantee you would want you son to play for them. A large number of the players that get scholarships are a direct result of the countless hours they put in informing college coaches about these guys. They have even helped players from opposing teams get looks for college coaches when their coaches don’t bother.
No, they don’t have fingers full of championship rings, but they have steer a great deal of young men through the right path, and to me, that is more valuable than a high school championship.

Slalom 1…….I think you have been conversing with Drock09 too much………..Look , many didn’t realize that the 2008 Tift squad had a very good defense against the run…..Lowndes runs the ball %99.9 percent of the time and they struggled ,Tift held Northside’s Bacon to 68 yards rushing……On the other hand Tift’s pass defense may have been the worst in the entire State…..Northside ’s Joe Scott had a career day………Newnan 7 Tift 0 at the half in last seasons playoff game…..Now i personally didn;t witness the game , but i would guess that Newnan began the game with a heavy dose of running plays and ran away with it in the second half with a heavy dose of passing ,correct me if i am wrong….Teams will matchup differently……..Camden had a complete defense , And would have gone undefeated no matter what region they were assigned , Ive never seen a team beat up a Northside team in the 4th qrt like Camden did ,and it was the first Legitimate AAAAA opponent for the Cougars and it showed for the entire game . Camden always plays a competitive Non -region schedule…. The 2009 season will be a replica of the 2008 season for Newnan…I still hear a lot about the 24 – 7 Lowndes win over Northside ,Few realize that Lowndes had only a little over 200 yards rushing for the the game………..I really can’t answer your question concerning the weak vs Brutal schedule ,I have wondered myself about this myself.,But I feel that it isn’t a good idea to schedule Non – Region cupcakes prior to Region play…………..What do I consider North Ga?…….Henry County and Above………..Middle Ga : Henry County down to Cordele………South GA : Cordele and below

As a native Southsider who attended H.S. in the late ’80s (I’m a 1990 graduate), seeing teams like Newnan and Griffin dominate really reminds me of the days when fans like me looked at our school’s football schedule and started sweating because, good as we were back then, we flat-out knew we had to play the AAAA football triumvirate of Newnan, Griffin and LaGrange. Talk about a hard row to hoe year in, year out. They were ALL on our schedule when AAAA was highest class. I think McIntosh was the new school in our region. Sheesh.
If the Grangers fans were on here telling everyone to bring it, I’d seriously feel like it was 1987 all over again. I totally remember, back in the pre-internet / lame-o technology days, listening to my school’s games on local AM radio (you could barely hear it) when I didn’t have a ride to the stadium and PRAYING we would beat Newnan, Griffin or LaGrange. When we did, it was like “YES! YES! YES!” because you couldn’t hardly believe it had happened. Everybody respected those teams and knew how tough they were — heck, still ARE. Kids talked about them in the halls between classes, how we had to beat them or forget playoffs at all. Not much has changed over the years for those programs and that’s really saying something with so many schools having cropped up around the area, people moving, etc.
ETA: Reeze — Henry County? Middle Georgia? Hmmm… Me, I’d start the Middle Ga. line at Butts Co. but I can see where you’re coming from. Shoot, I keep telling my AJC colleagues that if we give it another 10 years we’ll consider Macon the farthest southern exurbs of the ATL. Don’t laugh. Sadly, it could happen. I have friends in places once considered “out from the city” like, say, Acworth and I remember when going to Lake Allatoona back in the ’70s was considered a daytrip from where we lived south of town because it was about a 40-mile drive.

Tell The Truth says…………..”As you remember, Northside’s only two state title have come in 2006 and 2007, but before then, they were known as chokers”………Truth I always wondered about this choking thing in respect to Northside’s playoff history…….I guess in order to choke , a team would have to be in a position to choke in 1999 against the eventual state champ Lowndes County , In 2000 and 2001 against Nationally ranked Parkview teams that destroyed nearly every Metro team in their path THAT Northside went toe to toe with ,In 2004 and 2005 against eventual Runner – up (2004) and state champ (2005)Statesboro and in 2008 against Camden……Northside with 4 Championships apperances this decade ,with 2 titles………Truth , can you really call it choking?…..How about back to back first round playoff losses?

Tell the Truth: Are you serious? Would you like a hankerchief or something? It seems as though you are about to get emotional and start crying. I have no intention of spending a great deal of time with Buck Godfrey or any other coach in the DeKalb area. I have a high school coach named Conrad Nix and like many, many other coaches who dedicate their lives to helping young men. I have no problem telling you that msny, msny coaches help young men.
What I can say about Buck Godfrey and SWD is this. I can name a number of coaches, including Conrad Nix, who would have won multiple state championships at Southwest DeKalb. Those coaches would have helped to develop young men and secure college scholarships. Conrad Nix’s son was the Recruiting Coordinator and Offensive Coordinator at Georgia Tech and served as the Offensive Coordinator at Miami. For a matter of fact, Patrick Nix recruited Reggie Ball (Stephenson alum) to Georgia Tech.
As for Stephenson, give me a break. This is the world of Stephenson
2008 (1st Round): Coffee 17, Stephenson 14 (Hallford Stadium, Clarkston, GA)…Coffee – 4th place in Region 1-AAAAA.
2007 (1st Round): East Coweta 17, Stephenson 14 (Sharpsburg, GA)…East Coweta – 2nd place in Region 4-AAAAA
2006 (Quarterfinals): Peachtree Ridge 12, Stephenson 9 (Hallford Stadium)…P-Rdige – 4th place in Region 7-AAAAA
2005 (Semifinals): Lowndes County 14, Stephenson 0 (Georgia Dome)
2004 (2nd Round): Lowndes County 43, Stephenson 7 (Martin Stadium, Valdosta, GA)…Lowndes 1st place in Region
2003 (Quarterfinals): Camden County 26, Stephenson 0 (Kingsland, GA)…Camden 1st place in Region 3-AAAAA
2002 (Quarterfinals): Camden County 27, Stephenson 20 (Hallford Stadium)…Camden County 1st place in Region
2001 (Quarterfinals): Valdosta 31, Stephenson 28 (Bazemore-Hyder, Valdosta, GA)…Valdosta – 1st Place in Region
2000 (1st Round): Collins Hill 20, Stephenson 0 (Hallford Stadium)…Collins Hill – 3rd place in Region
With the exception of the 2004 season when Stephenson lost to Lowndes County, the Jaguars have NEVER lost to a team that finished lower than the Jaguars in the playoffs. In other words, the Jags of Stephenson usually lose to teams that finish below them in their own region. To paint Stephenson as a program the strongly represents the talent that they bring to the field is disingenuous.
Buck Godfrey is not unique to any coach with the exception that he has done less with more repeatedly in the state playoffs. Most coaches help develop kids. I do not want to hear the Lifetime version of Southwest DeKalb choking away state titles. I can tell you that if Northside-Warner Robins has the opportunity to march to the Dome through the likes of Stephenson and MLK, it is going to be a glorious December in Warner Robins with our 10th and 11th graders. We have already played two of the strongest candidates for the Buck Godfrey Award (Doing Less With More) in Randy McPherson of Lowndes County and Dell McGee of Carver-Columbus.

Tell The Truth: I want to get back to real football. AAA is be very, very competitive. Is there anyone on this board who would care to tell be if either Peach County or Carver-Columbus are going to be competed against this week? I believe that both programs are going to make examples out of their competition. I feel bad for Cairo and Troup.
Has someone put SportsFan31313, Yo, and Slalom1 (the Charter Members of the Lowndes County Bandwagon Club of Georgia) on alert? The Vikings are officially on “Upset Alert” against Valdosta, who is in a “must-win” situation.
By the way Tell The Truth, I pray that you and all of DeKalb County know that like Lowndes County, Martin Luther King is officially on “Upset Alert” against Newton (Covington).

ENR: I don’t think I would use Patrick Nix as a shining example. Tech let him go to Miami & Miami soured on him real quick. Who would want to be known as the one who brought Reggie Ball to Tech? I think the UGA fans loved him more than the Tech fans. BTW, where is Patrick Nix now?
Tell The Truth: How about last year losing to Coffee @ Haliford. The same Coffee that was destroyed by Peachtree Ridge.
Unless Brookwood has patched up their leaky defense, they are going to have a tough time getting off the field against Grayson’s ball control attack. Grayson reminds me of Brookwood in the 90’s. Here we come, see if you can stop us. They run the ball & wear the opponents defense out. Yes, I remember Brookwood winning state at Bazemore-Hyder field in 1996. They ran all over Valdosta that night. I think it was Mark Townsend who ran for over 200 yds that night. I know that McEachern & North Gwinnett both put up 40+ points on Brookwood this year, but Grayson probably will not, due to their offense being more ball control.

Without DaShay:
Valdosta – 0

EagleNationRising, If you have read any of my posts in the past you would know that I am a huge supporter of Northside. Like you, I believe that Coach Nix may quite possibly be the best to ever coach in the state of Georgia. In 2007, I was clear in stating that Northside was THE best team in the state. Being an Auburn fan, I am also a huge supporter of Patrick. As for Lowndes, take a look in the mirror. Both Lowndes and Northside share one common thread. At one time both schools were the step children of the top programs in their respective counties.(Warner Robins and Valdosta). Now both schools have risen to the top, and furthermore unlike Carver-Col have gotten the job done without busing kids from outside of their respective districts just because they can play football.(or listing their residence from an uncle or aunt who may live in the school district.) I am a fan of Lowndes. Also a fan of Northside. Sort of a conflict, huh? Guess so. But that is part of the beauty of GHS football. LaGrange always comes first and Newnan, my neighbor to the north second. I wish the best for Northside and frankly wish that Northside could win the BIG one in AAAAA before going back to AAAA.

AJC SPORTS, 1987, huh? You must be a graduate of Morrow High School. They had some great teams. Coach Theodocian(sp?) FINALLY won the big one in his final year. Morrow had some tough teams with some great players like Andre Hastings. Old Region 6AAAA was exactly as you described. Newnan, LaGrange, Griffin, Morrow, Fayette County, etc. Tough region and 2 state titles between 1987 and 1991. Brings back some great memories.

It has been great to be a Hoya fan over the years, and I must say that I have never seen a Harrison team play so poorly! Fumbles, missed tackles, and poor execution doomed the much better Hoya squad. Harrison seems to fall and rise to the occasion this year. I certainly hope they “RISE” tomorrow night. Thanks again for the good words about my Hoyas!

Reality tells me that because of “KEY” injuries, especially DaShay March, we have no chance of this game being close at all. Mark it down. I know that tradition indicates this could be a close one, but I don’t think so this time. Vikings win this one in a big way. Nevertheless, go CATS!!!!!!!!!

REEZE, In the 2008 game Northside vs. Lowndes, “Greg Reid was the biggest difference in the game.”(Todd Holcomb). I may have not gotten the quote exactly right, but pretty close. Camden County was absolutely worthy of being 2008 state champs. But as luck would have it, some times a team just plays a bad game. i.e. Newnan vs. Camden County in the semi-finals. As for the previous poster referring to Northside “choking” in the past, I must agree. I believe Northside DID in fact choke a couple of times in the past until they FINALLY got the monkey off their back. Same is true for Newnan. They “choked” against Camden County in 2008 and they still don’t have the monkey off their back. But they will. Maybe in 2009. You and I both agree that Newnan and Camden County play in weak regions. I would say that Camden County plays in the weakest AAAAA region in the state. Take away Camden County from the region and the rest of the teams would have difficulty making the play-offs in most any AAA region. So, what does a schedule really mean? I am not sure. But I know a great team when I see one. Newnan is strong.

You are correct MLK Lions Fan, MLK is finally a team. They were not one last year that is why they lost to Tift in the 1st round at home. They kept trying to force Mack Brown between the tackles with no success and did not make any offensive adjustments. They just crossed their fingers and hoped their Defense would save them.
This year, they have a totally different mindset. They are definitely playing TEAM ball which was evident in the first game against SWD. The SWD game plan was to shutdown Mack Brown which they did, but they forget about the rest of the team and paid the price. MLK is no longer one dimensional; they can pass or run out of multiple sets and will change when a particular scheme is not working.
The defense, I cannot say anything spectacular about them. They only held their last three opponents scoreless and have allowed their opponents to score a combined 21 points over five games. For those that are doing the math, that’s 4.2 points per game.
I don’t believe MLK has faced a balanced team this year and Newton is very balanced. It will be an interesting game.

Slalom, thanks for recounting 1983. Sometime great teams don’t win it all and that LaGrange team was great. The writer you refer to was Tommy Camp. I don’t think much of his reporting but I will send him an email to see if he will respond. I can’t imagine what he said .
Everyone seem to beating up on my Cougars and their weak schedule but what are we do? Struggle and barely get by or dominate and let everybody play and get valuable experience. We as fans know we have something special this year and can’t wait til the second season starts in November.

I got to tell you, as close as Grayson has won most of its games, I think Brookwood has an excellent chance of pulling off the upset. This would be the signature win of Mark Crews’ excellent coaching career at Brookwood.
As far as Grayson is concerned, I think a loss would actually be a good thing for them. It would give them a valuable wake-up call before the state playoffs, which is all that matters anyways.

Next week Stephenson and MLK play. We’ll be talking about it all week. To me, both teams are MYSTERY teams. Both teams haven’t really played any legit competition. They both could be awesome or terrible. We’ll get a little bit of an idea next week. Right now, if MLK and Stephenson were the Gwinnett regions, they would have 1-2 losses IMO.

Michael Carvell – I disagree. What 2 teams would they have lost to? I don’t know anything about Stephenson, but I do know about MLK. Since they are 5-0 I am not making excuses…they have not been at full strength since game 1. They beat a very talented SWD team, and other than North Cobb scoring on 2 gadget plays, they have beaten each team as they should have and not yielded any points to 3 totally inferior teams. I supposed that you think Grayson an NG would beat them…maybe maybe not, but I don’t see any other teams that might be a problem. Collins Hill is a 1 trick pony…Brookwood is so-so…Parkview is down…SG?…Norcross is down…man for man MLK can compete and/or win against all of these teams. MLK has as much size…more speed and excellent skill positions. Until they get to play one of those teams I don’t think you can make that claim IMO!

Sorry I left out PTR…so that makes 2 possible challenges in region 7 and 1 in region 8…I think you are giving the Gwinnett regions way to much respect…this year they are only 1 or 2 deep in either region and all the rest are mediocre I would give you 3 in region 7, but CH will probably lose to PTR and Norcross just because that is usually what happens when CH is having a good year…for the 1st time in a few years region 2 just might be competitive beyond the usual top 2…but once again it is all yet to be seen!

Slalom1: Yes, both Lowndes County and Northside were both the respective stepchildren and afterthoughts for both of our cities. For a matter of fact, Warner Robins leads the 51 game series 32-19. That may not seem so lopsided until you take a longer look. Northside has beaten Warner Robins 4 straight times and 10 out of 13 times. Prior to the 1996 season, Warner Robins led the series with Northside 29-9. That is domination. I still have a challenging time getting my arms around it. Warner Robins was such a dominant and complete program, it is hard to believe that Northside is actually better.
Truth be told, Slalom1, I am always nervous when Northside plays Warner Robins. A part of me is always that stepchild program. Warner Robins kids jokingly called us Nerdside because the school one State Litary, Forensics, and One Act all of the time. I am certain that there have to be some former Lowndes County players out there who feel the same. Coach Nix always allows me the opportunity to come back. The kids in Northside’s program as so confident. They remind of the nationally ranked teams my Northside teams faced from Warner Robins, Valdosta, and LaGrange. They have that confidence and a swagger so to speak. I always think back to that Northside 7, Warner Robins 6 game in 1989. Then the “demons” of being that stepchild program come back.

Grayson 8AAAAA and Collin hill, N Gwinnett, anf P ridge in 7AAAAA , which region would you place us in that we would lose in.Stephenson is 8-2 against gwinnett in the last 8 years. What make you think that would change. 2AAAAA gets no respect but 8AAAAA & 7AAAAA with the exception of Grayson and p ridge have not raised a whole lot of hell either. If you want to make it a date ask someone to promote a dekalb against gwinnett classic similiar to the corky kell and lets see if the mighty gwinnett schools will take the bait. My bet is they want because grayson, collins hill and p ridge graduates everyone this year and dont know what the team will look like next year. Dekalb vs Gwinnett and then we can settle all the talk.

Michael Carvell: What do you believe that Peachtree Ridge’s record would be in Region 1-AAAAA? I am just curious. You have thrown Stephenson and MLK under the 1-2 bus in Gwinnett. I believe that Northside-Warner Robins runs the table against Gwinnett County. Pick 7. Northside beats them every time with 10th graders. Let’s come to an agreement that someone had to call the Lowndes County dogs off of Peachtree Ridge. You guys just can not help yourself. You live to hype up these mediocre Gwinnett programs.
The last that I checked, Peachtree Ridge is in first place in their region. I can’t imagine that P-Ridge would be any better than 1-2 in Region 1-AAAAA…probably winless. Peachtree Ridge would not even make the playoffs out of Region 1-AAAAA. Lowndes County 51, Peachtree Ridge 17 was not an accident. The public schools in DeKalb County have historically faired well against Gwinnett County schools. Peachtree Ridge has outscored their weak Gwinnett competition 119-7 since getting their dignity taken away at Martin Stadium. If someone said that a team got “Peachtree Ridged” everyone on this board would know that means the team got violated. Peachtree Ridge had beomce a verb which means that the score has been run up on you.
At what point did these mediocre programs like Peachtree Ridge and North Gwinnett become big time in Georgia? I am a little lost Michael. Something tells me that Stephenson and MLK would violate programs from Gwinnett County. P-Ridge opened in 2003. That have had 3 different coaches in 7 seasons. Obviously, it is not the program that you guys at the AJC (and Rivals.com) hype it to be.

DecaturWhereItIsGreater: If there is a Gwinnett/DeKalb Classic, I am putting my money (not literally) behind DeKalb. Give me Tucker, Marist, Stephenson, MLK, and SWD against any 5 Gwinnett teams. You pick them. DeKalb schools would Peachtree Ridge the Gwinnett teams. I am certain that the Gwinnett parents would complain about the manner that their programs would be violated. Those guys from Gwinnett would wet their pants against the athletes from DeKalb County.
Why don’t DeKalb programs play the big time games anymore? I remember seeing a great Warner Robins versus Southwest DeKalb game. SWD went about 6 seasons where they played many of the top programs like Warner Robins, LaGrange, Clarke Central, Newnan, and Brookwood between 1990 and 1997. Since 1998, SWD has dodged top competition. If the top DeKalb County programs played top programs across the state, Michael Carvell would not be making wild statements about Stephenson and MLK going 1-2 against a group of subpar Gwinnett programs like Northview, North Forsyth, South Forsyth, Duluth, Mill Creek, Shiloh, Berkmar, Meadowcreek, etc. MICHAEL, are you really serious???

BulldawgBite – The way Carvell put it all the best teams in Gwinnett play in one region and that is not the case. There are 3 maybe 4 tough teams in Gwinnett…if you don’t think the size and speed of MLK and Stephenson would not be a problem…you are kidding yourself. The last time Stephenson played the mighty Parkview with Caleb King…they destroyed them…the physical play in that game by Stephenson demoralized Parkview…so don’t tell me that those Gwinnett teams want that 8 or 9 games a year….please! I am just sick of the biased opinions…look at more then the facilities and booster clubs…look at the players and their abilities…and then be objective. BTW I totally support a Gwinnett-Dekalb series or whatever…
Everybody else -one more thing…I like Grayson, but you guys act as if they have achieved more in short period of time then MLK…I would venture to say that MLK’s history being a newer school is equal or better…I know its better because they set the record for most wins by a school in the 1st 6 years or something like that…even down years end in the playoffs…so chew on that and stop HATING!!!!!!
