suwanee 0wnz,
North gwinnett plays ptree ridge at home this year its not in the lions den. and yo lowndes wont even make it past the 2nd round so keep dreaming that they might make a run.

You will be repeating those same words “if you didn’t play bad against lowndes” when you are unfortunate enough to play lowndes yourselves.

Fact is I think you are already used to saying it.

I sure hope the Peachtree Ridge team is not over looking Collins Hill.

Only one of those two teams has had over 50 points run up on them. Only one of those two teams has figured a way to win every game they have been in this year. Only one of those teams lost to the only decent competition they faced.

The hubris at Peachtree Ridge already resulted in one humiliating loss. Watch out, or the cubs may just have 3 losses a few weeks from now.

The cubbies should consider themselves fortunate that both Collins Hill and North will be home games for them. But you can expect very large fan attendance from both Suwanee visiting teams.

The game against Collins Hill is hardly “in the bag”.

Go EAGLES!!!!!

DA LAKE, That is by far the funniest thing I have heard on this board in the 2 years I have followed! I admit it should be a good game. Up until about the end of the 1st QUARTER!!! Do you forget so easily the 43-0 rout from last year? Unless you recruit in a whole new team it will be the same players and the same coaches with the same lop-sided outcome as last year. Hopefully they can play the game and get out of there without any stupidity happening. After all that is why the WL vs Creekside game was moved to sat, right? So, yes we’ll see you friday. And WE’LL do all the talking on the field.

Etowah Fan, I think when it comes down to it, if it happens the region will have a tie breaker. if not then a playoff game thingy prob would be it. How often does the play in game happen i wonder?

By: BulldawgBite

if the first round of playoffs were today then region 8 would take 2 probably 3 of those games against region 5. Mceachern is the only one that would guarantee a win

wolverine fan…

This year Region 5A plays Region 8A…8A right now is #1Grayson, #2 South Gwinnett, #3 Brookwood, & #4 Parkview…

If things ended today East Paulding would draw Grayson, McEachern / Parkview, Woodstock / Brookwood & Etowah / South Gwinnett…All this is subject to change of course but however it shakes out the Region 5A teams are going to have their hands full!!

Good Luck with Kennesaw Mtn., EAST has Harrison at “THE BONEYARD”…a game at the first of the year that was shaping up to be HUGE, but now it’s about which team fixes the most problems quickest…

Wolverine2Blazer – LOL… the GHSA tie-breaker was a mess. Rarely will the tie-breaker use PF except as a very last resort. Otherwise, everyone would be running up the score just in case. I thought Todd posted something last year about the Region 5 tiebreaker. Maybe he could chime in.

I was at the MLK Newton game, Newton looked like a totally different team then last year. That game was a character revealer for MLK,they went in behind at half time,had to come out with their A game the second half. They seem to be able to do what they have too to win.

pridge, i know the lions are gonna be good. they came in ranked #7 in the country in some polls. if they didnt play a bad game at lowndes they would probably be ranked above grayson. im expecting an amazing game as well. but for you to say we havent handled our business is a little off. you say we let the mill creeks (30-3). and chattahoochees (54-23), and norcross (26-16) play us close is wrong. the norcross game was kind of competitive but they are the 3rd best team in the region and will beat collins hill and have a shot against the lions as well.

Westlake beat Creekside 36-19 so this week will be a real test for Newnan. We’d better bring our A game or we’ll have trouble. I hope we got rid of mistakes with Riverdale. Go Cougars!!!

Slalom,
Thanks for the vote of confidence for Hiram, those young men have certainly earned it. Hirams’ biggest test will come on Oct. 23, when they face Hillgrove. Both teams match-up well against each other, but Hiram has been turning the ball over too much as of late. If they do that against Hillgrove, they can’t win. Hiram needs to play its best against Hillgrove. I expect a close game, with the outcome being determined by the team that commits the fewest turnovers and penalties.
Now for North Hall. I said last week that NH would beat Flowery Branch, and they did 37-34. NH had to come back after being down 34-22 entering the 4th quarter. FB missed a field goal at the end to send the game into OT.

Todd Holcomb,
Last week I asked you about the chances of North Hall returning to the top ten if they beat Flowery Branch, and you said “My problem w/ the Trojans isn’t who beat them, but how badly they beat them. I’d like to think a Top 10 team in AAA would hang close to one or the other (Buford, Gainesville) and not get blown out both times (for the second straight year, I might add).” That’s your exact words from last week, and I have no problem with that, except for two things.
1) if getting blown out takes you out of the rankings, then why is Peachtree Ridge still in the AAAAA rankings after their blowout loss to Lowndes earlier this season? They haven’t played anyone since then to justify being ranked in the top ten, while North Hall has beaten TWO teams that you had ranked in the top ten when NH played them and beat them, Creekview 55-21, and Flowery Branch 37-34. The only difference in PRidge and NH is at least NH has beaten quality teams to earn a shot at being considered for the Top 10, where PRidge has one qualification to be in Todds’ Top 10, be a Gwinnett County school.
2) Name ten AAA teams that would have beaten Gainesville or Buford, or played them close for that matter. My list stops after 3 or 4. What about yours. How many teams in AAA would be 2-2 after playing 4 Top 10 teams?
My only problem with what you said is not that North Hall is not ranked, but that you have 2 different requirements to be ranked. One for Gwinnett County, and one for everyone else.

Greetings AVikingFan,

I remember too in the 70’s and the 80’s when Valdosta domiated Lowndes County. But surely, the time has come and the tables have turned on a new era of football for Lowndes County. As far as copyrighting your blog handle, maybe I would do that too. But everyone knows who I am on here.

SportsFan31313 — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 15:43:13 +0000

Greetings Yo,

Thanks for the info. As I watch that game, I was in AWE. That defense is in fact tougher than the offense. That defense is a BEAST….. I don’t believe that Lowndes County will lose any more games if they continue on the path that they are playing.

By: Etowah Fan

Etowah Fan — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 13:24:46 +0000

Pops – I agree the layoff could hurt after such a big win over EP, but at the same time it may help as Etowah came down off the emotional high… and now with the extra week they have had time to recover back to an even keel. Also, this week is Homecoming so that should add little extra motivation and emotion to the players and crowd. I expect Stewart also has them focusing on one game at a time… with the end goal of winning out the regular season which is very feasible.

By: ballboy

I am very sadden to hear and see that students would disrepect other schools. We, at MLK have experience this for several years. I know that is a competative sports; but there is a drawing line.

By: Etowah Fan

Etowah Fan — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 13:19:16 +0000

Wolverine2Blazer – Pops beat me to it… IF (and still a big IF with some much football to play), but IF Woodstock, Etowah, and EP win out until the final game AND if EP beats Woodstock at the end, then there is a 3-way tie for second place. I have perused the GHSA site regarding a tie-breaker and it is confusing, but there is a provision that defaults to the Region first. In the end, not sure how a Region 5 tiebreaker would work. Todd?

To be clear, head-to-head records and region play won’t work in this 3-way tie since Woodstock beat Etowah, Etowah beat EP, and if EP beats Woodstock… and all three were beat by McEachern.

By: Pops

Pops — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 11:44:39 +0000

Wolverine2Blazer – I wasn’t ready to bring it up…but…if EP beats you the last game, and we all end in a thre way tie with two losses, a feasable scenario, how is the seeding broken down then? Does anybody know?

NG18 — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 10:45:25 +0000

Pridge-You guys Have played all the weak teams in the region.While
you may beat Norcross and Collins Hill they might cause some injuries
by the time you play NG.WE were missing 6 Starters playing Mill Creek
and 3 defense starters in the last game.We are tough in the 4th Quarter
so if Pridge is behind you will loose.The only game that has been close is with Prattville.I Watched CJ carry three Norcross players 20
yards on his back and he is hard to take down.North also has a new O-line Transfer from Flordia that is over 300 pounds and very good learning our plays right now. That makes 3 big boys up front and a nice Run option inside the 20.Lowndes showed Peachtree Ridge is the one really OVERRATED.

So for r5. Woodstock pretty much has to loose 2 more games to get knocked from #2. If we loose one more we own the tie braker with Etowah. So Pops you better start praying to jesus, budda, spongebob, or who ever for a upset and a EP W over Woodstock. Might wanta start…..now.

And we all know the r7 champ is going to loose to Woodstock. callin it here and now.

Pridge, I will second that. N. Gwinnett has been overrated. They were last year and are DEFINATELY this year. If they had to play the top ten in AAAAA I don’t think they win 3. And it’s not disrespect it’s just plain and simple that they are hyped way too much.

all these pridge guys getting on my case-
we are more talented THIS year than last year. most people at north didnt think mikey tamburo was even amazing. cj uzomah is much better. and the way you guys make it seem like you lost absolutly nobody last year either. i think we beat yall in a close game. and its an important game because whoever loses has a tough road ahead. either team can win all those games, but its way easier from the #1 seed.

By: yo

yo — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 23:06:29 +0000

Pridge Senior my playoff format shows loser of Ptree/NG going to McEachern in the 2nd round then probably taking on the winner of Camden/Lowndes. Kind of makes winning that game all the more important doesn’t it? The #1 seed in your region will have a much easier time in the playoffs than the #2. Not unlike our region.

On the other hand, Poor McEachern finishing #1 in their region might want to rethink it. LOL

They are looking at having Camden, Lowndes, and the loser of PTree/NG
in their bracket. Fortunately they would only have to play 2 of them.
They also have a pretty tough matchup in that they will get the #4 seed of Region 8 in the first round.

Newnan and McEachern get the toughest first round matchups. IMO

By: yo

yo — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 22:54:25 +0000

AVikingFan I agree with you about Colquit. Except for the travel I think they get the easiest matchups of any 1AAAAA team should they end up third in the region. It would not surprise me to see them make the semis. Their draw back will be the continual 3 plus hour trips to where ever each week of the playoffs. They could enter the playoffs with only 2 losses and if so I am sure they would love to see an upset by a team with more losses than them to give them a week to stay home should this all come about.

What folks in Hotlanta don’t understand is that when the S.Ga. teams have to hit the road in the playoffs….we go a long way and the lower seeded teams go a long way “every week”. No cross town rides for us or region 3.

Potential Colquit travels
1st round – Region 4 (3 plus hour drive)
2nd round – Region 2 (Decalb – 3 to 4 hour drive)
3rd round – Top seeds from other bracket Region 6 or 8 (4 to 5 hour drive)
4th round – Northside or North Gwinnett (2 plus hours to 5 hours drive)
The Dome – (3 to 4 hour drive)

That my friends more than the competition was what caused poor performances by Coffee and Tift last year in the playoffs in the games that they lost. That kind of back to back to back travel to play a team that eventually ended up in the Semi Finals is tough to do.

By: Pridge Senior

P Ridge will beat North Gwinnett, who becomes region 7’s 2nd seed. Region 7 seed 2 plays Newnan second round, then winner of Lowndes/camden in quarters, then grayson in semi’s. Oh well, maybe next year, N Gwinnett?

slalom1 If Lowndes was the second seed from region1 and Newnan 1st seed from their region, they would host, so I’ve been told. But there’s a lot of football to be played between now and then. Lowndes probably will finish 2nd in Region 1, and travel to Camden in week two of the playoffs, if they can beat the 3rd place team they’ll be facing in the 1st round. Most likely NSWR will finish number 1 in our region, and be in the 1/4 bracket with the Region 7 winner. Newnan and Greyson should also be in the same 1/4 final bracket. The region 6 winner will be in the same 1/4 final bracket as the winner of region 2. But Colquitt should be in that bracket too, and believe me, they could shake things up.

On another note, I heard a key member of Greyson’s line has gone down to a season ending injury. How will that affect Greyson overall, does anyone have an opinion?

Hi there SportsFan31313 Man! I remember one time when Valdosta was beating Lowndes by 35 points and Nick Hyder called a time out with a minute to go in the 4th quarter inside our 10 yd line, to set up some plays to score again. And they did! We finally got even in a big way. As ENR says, we violated them. As another poster said, we “Valdosta’ed them!”

By: slalom1

Newnan vs. Westlake? Drocko9 is right. Westlake is loaded with D-1 talent. But pathetic game preparation. Talent wise Westlake stacks up pretty well against the Cougars. But great coaching and game prep will turn this game into nothing more than yet another blow-out for Newnan.

By: Etowah Fan

Etowah Fan — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 20:51:13 +0000

SouthGARules – yep, I figured that would be the case: the #4 seed in Region 5 plays Grayson first round….

Which is why Etowah’s win over EP was so critical. Without that victory, Etowah would be scratching for the #4 seed. Now, there is a “hope” for a #2 seed. Etowah “should” win out as the collective records of the teams left on our schedule is 9-17. Harrison being the only team with .500 record, but they are about to run the gauntlet of the top 4 teams in the Region.

Besides how Harrison fares, the most significant game remaining to shape the playoff seeds in R5 is Woodstock/EP at the end. This game will go a long way to determining the 2 thru 4 seeds. I will have to see how the tie-breaker procedure works for Region 5 to decide who I need to pull for in that game.

Don’t get me wrong, there is still a lot of football to play for R5. If anyone (Etowah included) in the top 4 of R5 is looking past Harrison, then they will get beat… and I predict that Harrison will win one that they’re not supposed to as the “spoiler”.

Unless the WR Demons upset Colquitt, NSWR, or Lowndes they will not make the play-off. Valdosta schedule favors them the rest of the way for the number 4-spot out of 1AAAAA. This is the Demons projected championship team they have waited for since these boys moved-up from their fedder middle schools. If they don’t beat NS this year, regardless or not NS moves down to AAAA, the Demons will not stand a chance the next 4 or 5 years. Alas, Lowndes taken taken revenge on Valdosta for the time when they were the whipping boys of the county. .

SportsFan31313 the last TD scored by Lowndes to start the second half was all second string offense and not just QB. Actually, the QB #14 would probably be 4th string since if the starter was hurt Lowndes would most likely either go with Franklin #2 or Hunter #15 as QB. Franklin was the starter last 2 years with Hunter playing considerably last year also. Franklin QBed the state championship team of 2007 as a sophomore.

Playoff talk this soon?…….Northside still has Colquitt and the Demons to play, and you Lowndes folks DO NOT sleep on the Demons…….. Those 50 plus point wins mean absolutely nothing to the Warner Robins schools . Warner Robins defense is better than Northside’s……As ENR says ” UPSET ALERT” for the Eagles ( Oct 30 ) and Vikes ( Nov 6 ) when we both face the Demons…..

agreed NG18. peachtree ridge has a chance if they play at home against lowndes. and the Newnan Grayson matchup will be a low scoring defensive struggle. now that graysons best player on the team. Joseph Champaign tore his acl. the front line will be significantly weaker

AVIKING FAN,

Boy wasn’t that a blowout this past Friday night. I watched the game on Direct TV. It was shown on here. I must say that, that Viking Defense, was the bomb. Valdosta didn’t stand a chance…. That Quarterback that in the 2nd half, was he on JV? I ask because Heck they scored too.

UG…maybe. But Union Grove needs to prove they can win the region first just like Stephenson/MLK needs to prove they are a state championship team before they will be completely taken seriously in that regard.

Fitzgerald will dismantle the Early county bobcats this friday, Jefferson in 3AA gives up to many points, they will not be able to get past any of our 1AA teams compare the two regions points for and points against, region 1AA top 3 teams are stingy on D,

Listen-up (K)…I never said that every coach without A title is A (BAD COACH)…but if you have all the tools you need to build A house…and you cant do it after A period of time…then maybe something is wrong with the builder! REALLY!!!!!!

North Gwinnett will beat Peachtree Ridge for the #7 region and play NSWR. Peachtree Ridge will go down to Lowndes again.Newnan will take out Grayson with their tough Dee against the run.

By: AVikingFan

AVikingFan — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:46:42 +0000

Looking at the brackets, it looks like a pretty good chance that Peachtree Ridge could get to play Northside Warner Robins in the 1/4 finals in AAAAA. Man wouldn’t it be something if Peachtree Ridge “Valdosta’ed” NSWR?

Cougarfan, one thing is for sure we will know not this Friday but next, that is our showdown with Stephenson. I know that we have never beaten them before and they have a fine team but we aren’t looking too bad. We may not be loaded with 10 to 15 Div. I players however, we are loaded with a lot of HEART and the will to win. Our defense plays hard from bell to bell.
I think the whole state may be in for a surprise this year with Newnan. You guys have always been a force and this may be your year.

Not to mention that every coach without a State title is a “bad coach” too…according to these blogs!!! REALLY???????

UG- I won’t speak for Yo but it seems as though Union Grove could win that region. That would put them into a #1 seed and into a different playoff bracket. He is right with what it will take for Newnan to get through to the dome. I was looking at the same thing last night. If it CAN be done I’d say hand them the trophy before they get to the dome. Not saying whoever they would play couldn’t or wouldn’t win. But in my opinion they would have already beaten 2 of the top 4 teams in the state. I think it will be northside from the other side of the bracket. As much as I hate to say it, we will see a Northside Lowndes re-match.

Why is MAYS an ATLANTA PLUBLIC SCHOOL…but they play in the DOUGLASVILLE region? Shouldnt they be playing SWD, TUCKER,MARIST,..and CHAMBLEE, and other teams like that? How did they get in their region and why?

MLK–STEPHENSON…I think both of your teams are very fine teams…youre strong and you get after it. But you both have a tendacy to exit the play-offs very early…year after year! You beat the weaker teams much sound through the year like you should…but its the stronger teams or should I say the ones that are just as strong….you have a problem with! I think its coaching…you both have talented atheletes that can do the job… but youre not taught to use all of your full potential! Youre playing under the radar so to speak! Youre only as strong as the coach can teach you! It boils down to preparation…game-plan…execution…and being able to adjust! That is where I think your coaches are weak at. SORRY…just calling what I see.

I think that region 3aa is a very strong region. Nobody talks about this region. Jefferson County has a good chance of winning the region. They are undefeated and have a good chance of staying that way. Swainsboro and Dublin are fighting for second place. The third and fourth place is up for grabs. JEFFERSON COUNTY WARRIORS are a very good football team. Don’t underestimate them. They are for real. GO WARRIORS.

Hey Yo, do you think that you could possibly be overlooking Union Grove in that 2nd round?

By: yo

Newnan’s likely playoff run to get to the Dome.

1st round – Valdosta/Warner Robins
2nd round – Stephenson/MLK
3rd round – Grayson
4th round – Lowndes
then the Dome

patty cake season ends for Newnan when the playoffs start.

dekalb fan: wasn’t sure if King and Stephenson were close enough. But Suwanee has Collins Hill, Peachtree Ridge, and North Gwinnett. Obviously more losses are to come in that trio because they all play each other. Powder Springs has Hillgove and McEachern, both undefeated. UG: Good record from the Henry schools.I work out there they got some talent now. Union Grove is abeast with a good school to boot.

BROOKWOOD MOM: I get to go out of town Tue, Wed, Thur, so hopefully I’ll be able to steer clear of the rain. We live up on a hill, so I’m not worried about flooding. However, I did see a NTB store in Marietta whose rear parking lot was flooded & some creeks out of their banks in Bartow County. Hopefully, none of the games have to be moved or delayed.

Pridge,
we’ll see i think we both know it will be a good game between 2 of GAs championship contenders. and dont forget last year was the only time pridge has beaten north. and there is no way you can say your more talented than our offense… ya roby is great and stanley is good but the other guys are just eh.
