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”.

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

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.

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.

Well you may never know, but Dunwoody is at home right? I just don’t think that Towers will beat a Dunwoody. And yes, it was a typo LOL…..

As far as the Grayson game goes, I don;t believe that it will as close as you may think. Grayson by 10 points at least…..

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

ENR….That was a great comment about Harrison. I agree with you, that Harrison should have beaten 0-4 KMHS two weeks ago. 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!

wolverine2blazer be careful what you ask for. woodstock wont have enough to beat the #3 team from region 8. whether its parkview or south gwinnet. and if they do happen to win they have to go on the road to play NG or Ptree ridge who both have a recent habit of winning big against region 5 teams.

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.

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.

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.

Michael, I think that you are hilarious. Everyone gets on the blog and dog on Stephenson and MLK. Gwinnett county four decent teams out of 15 in AAAAA. 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???

Hey ENR, you admit that Valosta “should” have beaten Northside right?? Would you agree then, that Lowndes also “should” have beat Northside as well?? LOL… I put Grayson on upset alert on Monday Brookwood 27 Grayson 21. Does Grayson stream their games online?

I have a question though. What is really keeping Camden County from joining “what is now” 1-AAAAA? I don’t buy the whole talk of the burden of traveling because if schools can FLY cross country to play in Classics, a 2-4 hour chartered bus ride should be nothing to a PROGRAM…Thats just my thoughts on that!!

dekalb fans,
either way both dekalbs MLK and stephenson and gwinnett teams such as grayson, NG, PTR and Collins HIll this year seem to be off to a good start. Hopefully Region 2 can set region 1 straight this year and end all the yapping that there fans do. Talking about a nationally ranked team such as ptree ridge being winless in there region. they act like they play in the NFL while the rest of us are in pee wee. it wasnt by accident that no one got past the third round last year from region 1. this year will be no different. if you got a good fieldgoal kicker you can beat northside. and lowndes has all road games. the rest of the teams are just like any other regions 3 and 4 teams. decent but probably not gonna upset anybody.

Can’t live off tradition forever…Lagrange’s recent history post State Championship is not much different then the rest of us that have won the big one…remember; just like all the wins count so too do the losses…can I also add that 2004 in the DOME was year 4 of the MLK football program…3rd year with a functioning weight room…so essentially you beat up an the new kid on the block…had we not upset Peach County….how much would your schools history have changed?????

Slalom,

Which Gainesville did you watch? If you were in the stands, I wish I would have known so that I could have looked you up. If it was the one that was televised, then you saw Gainesville at their worst. As far as 7AAA goes, there’s a very good chance that Flowery Branch could be the #4 seed out of that region. How would you like to be the #1 seed that has to play them in the first round?

The ultimate reason for Camden county not to join 1AAAAA is the logistics of travel not only for the football teams but other sports as well. Who would want to make that long ride for a soccer match or a basketball game.The amount of money to bus the kids that far for every event would be tremendous

EaglesNationRising: No excuses for the Lowndes Vikings, but as I understand it, it was a refree call at the end that saved Northside. A refree should never be the deciding factor in a game. Without that call, the score would have been 17-10. Don’t talk bad about Valdosta; afterall, Northside barely beat them and Lowndes is killing them. Don’t act like Lowndes can’t win on the road. They have done that plenty of times such as the year we went into the Orange Jungle of Parkview and won state. You barely beat us and Valdosta. In a way, I’m glad Lowndes lost early in the season because the times that they have won state, they lost one early to give them a wake up call. It really doesn’t matter who’s #1 at this point in the season. It’s all about who’s #1 in Dec. after everything is said and done. If you don’t win state, noone will remember or care that you beat Lowndes earlier in the year. Although, I can imagine Northside fans will be just like Grayson fans and try to ride out the win for years to come. Get over it and talk to me at the end of the season!

jjhenry57- I am a Northside guy and I have to say I enjoyed that game vs the Vikings last week as much as any reg season game I can remember outside of the Eagles/Demons games. I think the winning teams fans have the right to talk about it. I dont think its a matter of “getting over it.” To the victor go the spoils. I havent said much, and wont say much, because I didnt talk beforehand. I recognize this is one of the youngest Eagle teams I can remember, and knew they would have their hands full. They did, it was a hard fought game, and the Eagles pulled off the upset. I was on the edge of my seat to the end. The game gave me goosebumps.

As far as the PI call goes, I didnt really hear anyone questioning the call. A holding call is one thing, but if theres blatant pass interference you have to call it. Had he not pushed off, he wouldnt have been in position to catch the ball.

I just think its amazing seeing a bunch of 15-18 year olds play their hearts out in such an epic game. That whole last 3 minutes I just couldnt stop thinking “someone has to lose, and they are going to get their hearts broken.

I dont think any Northside fan WANTS to play the Vikings again. Props to Conrad for beating a better team. If they played again at MTS, it could go either way. At Lowndes, the Vikings would have the edge without a doubt.

Anyway. All that being said…the losers walk and the winners talk. IMO, thats the rules of the game.

JJHenry57: Let’s clarify something that can not be taken away from something called reality. Northside beat Valdosta. Northside beat Lowndes County. For you to say that the final play was not CLEAR offensive pass interference is just flat out dishonest. If it were not for the great athletes wearing the Viking uniform, Randy McPherson would have blown the game three plays earlier. His call on 1st and goal was absolute bush league. The guy was flat out exposed.

Northside beat Valdosta and Lowndes County with a team that is full of 10th and 11th graders. There is no player on Northside’s team with the national hype of Valdosta’s TE Rome or a host of Lowndes County Vikings players.

Valdosta was in a tied game, 7-7, against Warner Robins. Warner Robins was driving the ball down their throats (because Warner Robins football teams are not posers). The Demons fumbled the ball just as they were about to score the game winning touchdown and Valdosta took it to the house some 70+ yards down the field. Valdosta posters keep talking about the Northside and Colquitt games which got away. The truth is Warner Robins should have beaten Valdosta and the Wildcats should be winless in the region.

No matter how you cut it, these are the facts. Northside is 6-0 and 4-0 in the region. Lowndes County is 6-1 and 3-1 in the region. Valdosta is 4-3 and 1-3 in the region. You can chatter about what could have been. What is represents the reality that we live in.

jjhenry57 “Although, I can imagine Northside fans will be just like Grayson fans and try to ride out the win for years to come.”

Excuse me but I see more fans from NSRW, Valdosta, Lowndes, Camdem Co., bringing up the past more than Grayson fams. Grayson is very focused on one week at a time this year and doesn’t really care about last year.

The game tonight was a good game. The rain shower came and went right after kickoff and I think the high humidity was affecting both teams some. Humidity that high makes it very hard to cool down as your sweat doesn’t evaporate. I have mixed feeling about how the game went. Yes, Grayson benefited from some early Brookwood mistakes. Brookwood got what appeared to me to be most of their yards from a few long pass plays. The Grayson D looked good down in the trenches and the offense put up a more varied play mixture than I have seen before. Once again, the defense heald and the offense played ball control.

I’m sure much will be made about the closeness of the score. Once again, Mickey Conn showed a lot of class and did not run the score up at the end. With the ball around the Brookwood 10 yard line, he chose to run the clock out instead of taking the easy field goal or possibly going for the TD. I was proud to see the players from both teams come together at mid-field after the handshake and those that chose to appeared to have a common prayer while the others waited and then congratulated each other. A lot of these kids know each other and I was told that the Grayson QB Santry and RB Pemberton grew up with a lot of the Brookwood players and know each other well. Even there was some serious hitting going on, there was good sportsmanship exhibited by both teams. Great game guys!

By the way, the Brookwood band is GOOD!!!

The Lowndes – Valdosta score comes to no surprise to me, It usually happens when a better team faces a cross town rival after the better team has lost the week before. Valdosta was hoping for Lowndes let down where Lowndes was out looking for revenge I am just shocked that the score was as close as it was. I was expected a 70 to 0 rout.
As for NSWR I am a old fan, I played there in the 70’s and know what real football is like. If the kids from NSWR are only 9th 10th and 11th graders all I can say is watch out next year.
And for those who don’t know the name for Warner Robins was ” Choked City” until 77. As for Coach Nix, or any team from WR, including the Demons if they are any where close to a match to you they will beat you and if they are stronger they will destroy you.
I saw awhile back that some were shocked at a 77 -0 game. I remember a 90 to 0 game and Davis(WRHS) pulled back, he had 4th string defensive lineman playing running back.
But the reason we from NSWR,WRHS, Valdosta and Lowndes talk about the pass so much because when you think of teams from Georgia through the ages those are the ones that keep coming to the top especially Valdosta, Yes there have been others Parkwood of the 90’s and 00’s but they are always compare to the 4 with WRHS and Valdosta being the two that lead the pack.
Coach Wright Bazemore, Coach Robert Davis, Coach Conrad Nix were coaches you knew that if you faced you were in for a tough time Sorry Lowndes cannot really think of a legendary Coach from your school but I am sure their is one.

The old saying from Warner Robins is that we just don’t hit you, we run through you. And when wondering what high school one plays or is going to play for in Lowndes County . All you have to do is ask where is the school and depending on which way they point, you’ll have your answer.

As a player, I would not feel like putting in the extra effort after getting an embarrassing beat down from my own coach! Perhaps it’s time for a change at the helm. Also, who ever is calling the plays….You don’t call a pass down the line of scrimmage to the sidelines, when you have third down and 10!!! You need to throw it at least ten yards down field!! Hello!!! The kids are trying hard. How about giving them some encouragement coach!! Just an obsevation from the stands…take it for what it’s worth. I still support the Hoyas regardless!!!

grayson has been blowing it’s horn since they beat us last year. they beat us fair and square. but to say the vikings are not able to win big games is just untrue. we have won three state championships since your school was formed. last i heard you’ve won none. we’ve won five total. your region is full of mediocre teams and you’ve again won no state titles. yes we don’t throw the ball well, but we have a coach that runs a wing t offense by choice. it’s a easy offense to run and learn. we usually lose when we make alot of mistakes.(which we sometimes do) But to rant that lowndes can’t win the big one when you’ve never actually one anything is comical. by the way, we are 5-0 in the biggest game of the year. if you don’t believe it, ask your boys at parkview, brookwood, and north gwinnett. win some state championships, heck win a few more region championships and maybe someone will believe that you belong in the group of state powers. for the record, we are 102-20(.836) and your are 69-32(.683) since 2000.oh by the way, did i say we’ve won 3 states since then and you’ve won zeeerrrooo!

Lowndes made history last night on National TV and live on Armed Forces Radio Network world wide. We became the 1st team to ever beat Valdosta six years in a row, and I believe the 57 points Lowndes put on the Cats were the most ever scored on them. Valdosta’s long time defensive geru Jack Rudolph would surely have been shocked if he was able to watch that game! I wonder what Mike Obrien, the Woodstock head coach who was fired at Valdosta a year or so after winning a state championship, had to say when he heard about Lowndes “PEACHTREERIDGING” Valdosta?

By the way, EagleNationRising (both of ya’ll) did you hear about the “under achieving Lowndes” score last night? Yep, in your words, we “PeachtreeRidged’em.”

And to our friend SportsFan31313, I’ll let you off the hook for leaving the Lowndes Valdosta game off your list of predictions this week. I guess you wanted to go with Valdosta. You must have been drinking some of ENR’s coolaid! Just kidding. Mannnnnn, I wish you had taken me up on the offer of tickets and come over for the game.

REGION4AAAA: Sorry man, but the refs made some bad calls on BOTH sides. Our quarterback never fumbled the ball down on the 4 yard line. His knee was down when the ball came out. And on that one catch and run by number 13 of Griffin when they said he stepped out at the 4, he didn’t step out until the 1.

But, on the other side, when Griffin downed the punt on the one and pinned North Clayton deep, that should have been called a touchback and given North Clayton the back on the 20. I admit that was a bad call, too.

Officiating happens but this game wasn’t that bad. These are HS refs. They make mistakes.

North Clayton is a GOOD football team though with a lot of speed. But if Griffin had not made so many mistakes (fumbling, penalties) this game would have been a lot worse. At half time, one of the camera crew looked over at me and said “North Clayton” is lucky this game is only tied at the half.

Good game MLK should have been better…Newton County was only able to score due to an MLK blunder! Two MLK touchdowns were called back due to ‘holding’ penalties. Next week these types of errors CAN’T happen! I also watched the Stephenson and Redan afterwards, Redan played as if they were very intimidated by the Jaguars. However, I disagree with Blake Ashmon’s statement, “This is a full package. Stephenson does not rely on one or two key players they are a team of 90.”; if MLK shut #25, and possibly #29, Stephenson won’t have a running game.

viking forever said ” we are 102-20(.836) and your are 69-32(.683) since 2000″. With all due respect, that is an unfair comparison. Your program was a well established program and Grayson’s was a startup in the same period. Heck, I think Grayson didn’t even have a dedicated weight room until 2005! (I could be wrong there but based on the touchdown club site I think that is correct.) I think it is fair to say Grayson has come a long way in the ten years especially given the low level of support from the school system. Did you know that the only thing the school system funded are the light poles and lighting at the stadium?

I think the “blowing our horn” is a function of excited fams. I know Coach Con would never do that. It just feels good as a young program without much tradition to be able to stand up and play with the storied programs in the state. It is also a little fun to be able to win after listening to more than a few vocal supportors of these programs talk about how they are going to bury us. The Lowndes-Grayson game last year had a lot of build up with a lot of trash talk about coming to Grayson and taking over and making the Grayson field into Lowndes country.

Any fair poster will recognize respect is owed to the long time successful prgrams while at the saem time enjoying the success of the younger programs. It is a game for kids and we adults need to remember that.

Viking lover: I did put Lowndes County on “Upset Alert” for their game against Valdosta on Friday. I would honestly do it again if you guys played next Friday. I know about big intracity rivalries due to the HUGE rivalry between Northside and Warner Robins.

You will see that I am consistent. I am a Northside Eagles fanatic. I love the history of our program. I am a HOMER in that I always believe in Northside. I also tell the truth. I have said all year long that Northside is a young team and we have to take each game a week at a time. I will put Northside on “Upset Alert” when we play Warner Robins. You have to throw out the records and the team with the best record always had a tendency to get comfortable.

I am NOT going to apologize to you Lowndes County posters. I did not apologize when I told the truth and called Lowndes County out as a SUSPECT road team. Lowndes is a SUSPECT road team. I also honestly said that I believed Lowndes struggled due to the long travel. You guys forget about that part. My opinion is Lowndes is basically North Florida and the travel creates some challenges. That is my opinion. Lowndes County may be road chokers. I do not think so. It is honest to say that Lowndes County UNDERPERFORMS on the road. You may say that about many programs.

Lowndes was on “Upset Alert” and I would put them on “Upset Alert” any time they play Valdosta due to the storied rivalry…EVERY TIME. I will do the same when Northside plays Warner Robins…EVERY TIME. What you Lowndes County crybabies should scroll through and see is that I picked Lowndes County to win.

If you called Valdosta taking the worst beating in the history of Valdosta football in games against Lowndes County, then good for you. I did not. I expected a close contest. It seemed like many posters did. We all know that Valdosta has some highly rated players. I expected them to really show up and compete due to the importance of the game. The game was more important for Valdosta than Lowndes County. Valdosta is now 1-3 and must win out to have a prayer of reaching the state playoffs.

Valdosta did not compete. I will not take back my “Upset Alert” or my pick of Lowndes County over Valdosta. I really want to put you guys in a sensitivity class or something. I once thought that it was Grayson posters that kept the chatter going. You guys are so focused upon losing at the MAC to Northside-Warner Robins, you are missing the great season ahead. The truth is Lowndes has NEVER won at the MAC. Northside has beaten Lowndes County 6 out of 8 times. Logic should tell you that we OWN Lowndes County.

Northside plays Grovetown, who has a few big prospects, next Friday and hits the road to play in one of Georgia storied stadiums in Tifton. That is my focus. We have already beaten Lowndes County. No more attention for a game that was played 8 days ago. We won it…as I knew we would.

Come on Hoya posters. What is going on over at Harrison High School? Are players injured? Have players been suspended? It looks as though Harrison may finish 4-6. They have huge games approaching. Harrison has really been and up and coming program. It appears that the Hoyas have taken a MAJOR step backwards in the past two weeks. By showing players respect and not throwing a teenage amateur player under the bus, what is going on up there?

Love High School Football, I don’t know what game you watched but In the wing T Stephenson runs 3 different backs and all of them had a touchdown number 15 had 2 tds. # 29 plays receiver and doesn’t start. IMO MLK will have problems stopping Stephenson’s running game. But this year they can beat you alot of different ways. SWD defense gave MLK problems and I think Stephenson’s will give them even more.

Wow, why is everyone on EagleNationRising? He’s calling things the way he sees them. When our teams ride high, we are happy. His team is riding high so until someone beats them we just have to deal with it. Other supporters had lots to say when their teams were undefeated…

i maybe new to this site in blogging but, i cant help but see from all the posts that the enr guy never shuts up. i read this blog daily and im from warner robins and he makes me sick. i was at the game of lowndes and nswr and had some of your fans tell lowndes fans that the pi call was crappy and should not have been called. i’m neither a lowndes or nswr fan but a high school football fan. if i rember correctly lowndes won at the big orange jungle 2004 lowndes also beat camden twice in the dome 04 and 05 in the dome that is a road game for both teams. lowndes also beat stephson in 07 i believe in the dome another road game for lowndes. that is a 4 hour bus trip either way u look at it. do u remember when lowndes beat nswr in the dome? do u remember when lowndes beat nswr last year? u keep bringing up the past in lowndes cant win on the road. it is 2009 and the past is over so quit typing on here like u own the web site cause ur bloggs are pointless. so do us all a favor in warner robins and be quite. these kids are from all across the state wanting to win and playing a game they enjoy. it does not matter if they win or loose they are all winners let them play and quit bringing the past up!!!

SGT CHRIS, Great to read your thoughts on the 2004 Grangers. I concur. NO team in the state could have played a competitive game against the 2004 Grangers.

NTH TROJANS, I watched the game on TV. Wish I could have been there, Maybe that was Gainsville at their worst. The QB and Tailor Jones(sp?) were both fabulous. So was the Gainesville defense.
Whether or not it was a bad game for Gainesville, they look mighty scary. By the way congrats to Hiram and to North Hall.

VALDOSTA FANS, The big loss this weekend must be a hard pill to swallow. But give Tomberlin some time. Say 2 years for marked improvement. Having grown up during the era when Valdosta was king year end and year out, it is even hard for me,(who is not from Valdosta) to envision a routing from their cross county school who for years was a “gimmee” in Region 1AAAAA. Tomberlin will do just fine. Give him time. Best of luck “Wildcats”.

Congrats to the gutty performance from North Clayton last night. Also to Drew High School – what a great facility you have there. It is GREAT and set up fantastic. When they fix the “traffic egress” it will be even better. EXCEPTIONAL performance from both teams, and Griffin did have to dig deep to get the win. Our starting center was out with strep and some bad snaps early on caused some timing issues, but was corrected at half-time. I hope this game converts a few naysayers about our team this year.

how about those Colquitt County Packers? took care of business against Tift County and improved their record to 6-1. with Valdosta virtually being out of playoff contention now, Colquitt County has all but wrapped up a playoff spot in Region 1AAAAA. only Warner Robins, Houston County, and Northside left on the schedule. if they finish 8-2 or 9-1, Rush Propst should win state Coach of the Year!

Good post, Viking Forever. I just wish EagleNationRisingRunnethOverAtTheMouth would admit he was wrong when he said “LOWNDES COUNTY WILL NOT PEACHTREERIDGE VALDOSTA”. The 57 points Lowndes scored was the most ever scored on a Valdosta team by any team, and the win was the 1st time in history anybody has beaten Valdosta 6 times in a row. The game was live on Armed Forces radio network world wide, and on CBS nationwide TV. SOMEBODY, if not Mr. EaglaNationRisingRunnethOverAt TheMouth himself, thinks Lowndes is important and pretty doggone good.

Moving on….. Way to go Woodstock and East Paulding!

ENR while comparing numbers to again prove the point you deem you want to prove please compare these numbers. Just fill in the blanks as I’m sure you know the numbers so well. Since 1966 Lowndes State Titles_______ and since 1963 Northside State Titles __________. That means in 3 less years Lowndes has _________ more state titles than Northside. Let me hear your answer Mr. Statistical Genius unless you are afraid for all on here to hear.

Also, Lowndes has _______ state championships in the largest classification and Northside has _______ state championships in the largest classification. So Lowndes has _______ more state championships than Northside in the largest classification.
Come on Mr. Statistical Genius unless you are afraid for all on here to hear.

Over and over I hear the word Choke or Choked.

The rest of us not fortunate enough to win–well, I guess we choked! LOL Previous years are gone, the players, some coaches, fans,etc. This is 2009,–2008 and before are gone forever!

Wats up with the Lowndes cty. and Camden cty. teams running up the score. You dont have to put 60-70 pts to beat a team. You wonder why Newnan so good this year because they know how to call off the dogs. Good players become great players when they get playing time. We call off the dogs and you will see that in the playoffs.

I saw the LaGrange team in the dome….they were good but your are only punishing your self with the thinking they were any more than a very good AAA team. Punisher, but you have 3 schools so it is what it is.
Take away the gazillion schools in Gwinnett and no one beats Gwinnett.
Besides ask your favorite Lagrange supporter Slalom and he will tell you numbers in a school don’t matter. That seems to be the thinking in that area of the state any how, at least when it is convenient for you to think that way.

ps-I am not saying Lagrange 2004 could not have beaten any team in the state on any give night but they were not the best football team in the state in 2004. Period. Probably no better than 4th or 5th best in the state. Better teams all in AAAAA that year would have been Parkview, Camden, Lowndes and very possibly Warner Robins. For that matter maybe even Charlton Cty.

In responce to “The Punisher” Lowndes High played it’s starters and their backups for only three quarters against Valdosta, turn sent in the BTeam. (Valdosta continued playing its starters the entire game.) A team simply has to play its starters at least that much to get the players into game condition, so when they play good teams they don’t get fitigued too soon. We even played the freshman team against Peachtree Ridge, Tift, and in another couple of games. I think the fact that Camden and Lowndes and Northside being good year after year proves they play the reserves enough to keep their winning programs going. If scores sometimes get out of hand because of another team’s ineptness, that’s too bad.

I was at the Griffin-North Clayton game and it lived up to the hype for the most part. Griffin High is FOR REAL. They will be a force to deal with come playoff time. The offense is creative the defense is solid. Region 6 will be ready and waiting for you come playoff time.

I see it’s back to bashing Camden again this week, AJC do Camden a favor and drop them from the top 10 maybe then some off the people on here will find some other team to complain about. Hornestly until watching them play this past weekend I didn’t think they were a top 10 team. Yeah they beat Groves 76-0, but most of it was done by back up players getting valuable playing time that will only help come playoff time like it did last year when they went 15-0. For those who want Camden to join region 1, it will never happen (Sgt Chris). You must have some serious dislike for Camden, but it’s okay.lol Why it want happen, well I did a little research and the closest reg. 1 school is Coffee Co. which is 99 miles and the farthest is NSWR and WR 252 miles one way. As many others has pointed out to you football isn’t the only sport played. Basketball have very strict rules concerning starting time during the school week. Varsity games must start at 6 pm during the school week and as a official who have traveled to some of these long away games it’s not fun ending a game close to 10 pm then travel 3 hours by get a few hours of sleep and get ready for work the next day. So with that being said, let’s enjoy the remaining few weeks left in football and then let the playoffs determine who is best.

I should probably just shut up, but in the words of The 4 Tops, “Can’t Help Myself”. I have NEVER said that “enrollment does not matter”. It does. What I have said is that enrollment is just one factor that plays a role in success or failure. (Probably ranks about 4th on the list of “what it takes to win GHS football games”. I will use my beloved Grangers as an example. Enrollment : slightly less than 1400. Lost to Newnan in 2008 and 2009. Newnan has an enrollment advantage of about 25% over LaGrange. But that IS NOT why the Grangers lost both games. It was game preparation. i.e conditioning, execution and coaching in all aspects of the game.Talent wise and roster size was about even in both years. Newnan simply whipped a good Granger team for those reasons. Go back to 2004. Newnan enjoyed the same enrollment advantage. The Grangers won 35-7 for all of the same reasons. Granted there are years when one team may have more talent than another regardless of enrollment. And YO, my last post should have read, “Can you blame fans across the state who celebrate when the “bully” gets whipped”?
As for 2009, should the Cougars make it deep into the AAAAA play-offs, they will most likely have to overcome an “enrollment disadvantage” along the way. However, the enrollment advantage that Camden County enjoyed over Newnan in 2008 is not why the Cougars lost. They just played a bad first half. There is more “enrollment disparity” in AAAAA than in any other classification in the state. I believe that this is the year of the COUGARS. Should they go the distance, it will NOT be due to an enrollment advantage. To the contrary it will be the result of great coaching, great player developement and fabulous community support.

Slalom what up with all of the enrollment talk. I didn’t say any thing about enrollment in that (I knew I would get your ire) lagrane post of 2004. I simply stated the names of teams that were probably better that year than LaGrange. You did notice little itty bitty Charlton in that post didn’t you?

Seems you prove my point. All the prognosticaters and national polls you mention didn’t do Lowndes a lot of good against Northside a few weeks ago. Those dummies generally look at so called blue chip talent and they fail to look at team and heart. If those folks knew what they were talking about then Lowndes would have lost to Griffin in 1980. We would have lost to Northside in the Dome in 1999. We would have lost to Parkview and (the monstrous and unbeaten) Brookwood in 2004 and 2005. We would definitely not have won a state championship in 2007 and we would have beaten Grayson in 2008. Not to mention we would still be undefeated this year.

To all of the know so much experts in the press I say…hmmmmm…say what?

Northside is the biggest bunch of hacks and chokers in the history of Georgia high school football. All of those undefeated regular seasons and 2 state titles in the bush. Seems Nix may be the biggest choker of any GA high school coach.

Harrison with a loss to EAST this week has a TOUGH schedule left with McEachern, Marietta & Etowah left to play…They may not win another game this year!!!

and EAST needs to beat Harrison this week, then has Kennesaw Mtn. & Cherokee before finishing up with a HUGE game AT Woodstock!!!

Friday night game of the week—- what about Griffin’s fumble on the one yard line that was caused by ground contact. If you don’t believe me, look at the picture on this web site. That would have tied the ball game early in the 1st and GHS would have been ahead at the half. The block in the back was on a play where the player picked up a first down not a touchdown and considering the numbers North Clayton’s offense put up all night, I feel pretty confident Griffin’s defense would have kept them out of the endzone. Regardless, take away the safety and give north Clayton an extra touchdown and Griffin still wins by 3 so I don’t think the official made the impact. Maybe you should watch again and then look at the stats before you make anymore observations.

SGH– My question was why would he[Coach Con] play his injury hand…ie.. give the media all injury details prior to the playoffs?. You also stated a particular player was in a state of injury [based on a newspaper atricle] that you do not have first hand knowledge of. Grayson has a downhill road to the playoffs no matter how you slice it. It can be beneficial as tune-ups and reps for backup players and time for healing starters…3 weeks is a long time in that mode, hence, why give the media or anybody else ANY SIGNIFICANT INFO when you have that luxury. Many players play in a brace. My oldest son played 4 yrs HS in a brace and just graduated from college with 4 yrs as an O’lineman in a brace..It had nothing to do with the coach. Those decisions are made between the player, doctors and the parents..A coach bears little significance in decisions regarding you son’s ultimate future. The same currently applies to my son who is a senior starter in HS football. And trust me , Coach Conn would NEVER force that issue. I have first hand knowledge.
