Time to step up: SWD, Lassiter, Union Grove, Grady
A week ago, I called it a week of reckoning for Stephenson, M.L. King and Collins Hill.
This week, it’s Southwest DeKalb, Lassiter, Union Grove and Grady.
Lassiter might get extra motivation at not being ranked again in Class AAAAA this week despite M.L. King’s loss making room in the Top 10.
The spot went to Woodstock, a team with one loss. I’m wearing armor this week in anticipation of the criticism, although come to think of it, Lassiter doesn’t complain here as much as Walton and Roswell. Nothing wrong with complaining. Just an observation. : )
Other thoughts …
Stephenson looked great last week. Top-flight defense, a top back in Raymond Sanders. I wondered as I walked out of Hallford Stadium how many times the best back in the state (if it’s Mack Brown) has played on a team that got shut out. Then I remembered Herschel Walker’s Johnson County team in 1979 was shut out by ECI but won a state title that year. Stephenson re-jumped McEachern in the rankings this week.
Some big games this week:
SWD vs. Marist
Stephenson vs. Union Grove
Lassiter vs. Walton
St. Pius vs. Grady
Fitzgerald vs. Brooks County
Johnson County vs. Treutlen

When Carver(Col) runs all over Lagrange this Friday maybe they will move up in the rankings. The one loss Carver has was vs #2 NWR who is two classes above Carver. I dont think any team ranked above them would have given NWR a better game. Hell last year NWR knows they were very lucky to walk out of Memorial Stadium with a win. Rank Carver #1 again when they blow out the Grangers!

YO – actually Woodstock is the team from region 5 I would least want to face on the road. I don’t think McEachern will survive the 2nd round. But Woodstock will be Northside’s problem, unless Colquitt can perform a miracle and beat NSWR by 10, which would make Lowndes the region Champ.

ENR, I was wondering where you’d gone. You were missing for a couple of days. Glad you’re back. I haven’t had a chance to see the Demons play this year. I hope they perform as well as you think they can. I love them, but I’ll just have to wait and see. I’ll be at the game against Northside, and maybe Lowndes if I can get my brothers or nephews to make the trip.

What’s with all the Buck Godfrey bashing. There are quite a few teams in every classification that have talent and haven’t won anything. He has. Who cares if it was in the mid 90’s, they won and went thru middle and south GA to do so in the highest class. There’s always a coach to blame for lack of success in the playoffs. You talk about him and his teams but they beat up on teams all over the state of GA, with good talent or no talent.

Todd, I would like to thank you for recognizing that Wilcox has a very good team this year. Unfortunately, we were hit with some major injuries that reflected in our two losses. However , we have had some wonderful talent being displayed by some of our younger players. We will stand behind our team!!!!! You should keep Wilcox on your radar for the playoffs this year as well as the next couple of seasons! Go Patriots!!!!

Hey Grady!
You’ve got a good team, one that Pius respects. I don’t know if the Shirt should be calling out the whole state, though. Neither Grady nor Pius have faced many real tests this year so it’s a little early to be calling for the trophy.
We’re planning on bringing our A game and hope you will, too. We’d like to know more about how we stack up.
Pray for no injuries, good officiating, and a good ballgame. See you at the Dome.
(By the way, is the APS trying to pay for your whole stadium upgrade out of one day’s gate receipts? $10-$12 tickets?)

Woodstock is deserving of its #10 ranking in the AAAAA poll. Look at what their defense is doing to teams in Region 5-AAAAA. Take away the McEachern loss in OT and the defense is giving up less than 5 points per game and already has 3 shutouts this season. The offense is finally clicking and has come together at the right time. The wolverines sent a message late last season and into the playoffs that said they are rising and Coach O’Brien has this team heading in an upward direction that promises something great in the coming future. Congrats Woodstock!

The SWD team that beat WR in the dome was a great team. Godfrey did, and still does a really good job with his players. There are great teams in all classifications. A couple of years ago, posters said that Northside had to prove themselves by winning in the highest classification. They’re doing it with far fewer students than most AAAAA schools. I’d even argue that the the 2008 and 2009 aren’t the best teams of recent years.

C Dog,
That is true, and if you really believe that? Your feelings will be hurt. Example. Region 3-AAAAA Camden County plays in a so called weak Region, yet they won the State last year beating everyone they came in contact with. They Beat Region Northside Warner Robbins, They beat Region 4 Newnan, They Beat Region 5 Woodstock, and they beat Region 7 Peachtree Ridge. So what you are saying in not accurate.

Greetings AVIKINGFAN,
Thanks for your comment. Bradwell is in a must win situation if they are planning to make the playoffs. I am quite disappointed in the way Bradwell had been playing. Although they have a very young and inexperienced team this year in addition to 12 starters being injured, I still believe that they could have run the table on the Savannah Teams. Losing to them are very unacceptable.
However; better watch out though, Region 3-AAA Liberty County is definitely on a roll. They are playing with heart, poise and a lot of confidence. They have beaten at least two ranked teams on their schedule this year with only two losses against Region 2-AAAA Glynn Academy in OT and Number 5 Ranked Region 3-AAA Washington County in a very close game as well. They have beaten Burke County in a stunning upset at Burke County in the Bears Den. This week, they play Baldwin County at home in which a lot of eyes will be watching. Baldwin County is not new to the area as Bradwell Institute use to beat them when they played them. It will be a good game I am sure if Liberty County wins, and by chance Washington County lose before the regular season is over, I believe that Liberty County may win the Region, and then become the number one seed in the playoffs from their Region. If not, then Liberty County will be the number 2 seed.

GH: I would not pencil in Norcross as #4 seed in Region 7 yet. North Forsyth has the tiebreaker over Norcross. Norcross still has Peachtree Ridge & Collins Hill left while North Forsyth has North Gwinnett to still play. Ditto for Parkview in Region 8 #4 seed. Dacula has the tiebreaker & an easier schedule. Both schools play Brookwood. In addition, Parkview has Shiloh left & Dacula has Berkmar & Meadowcreek left.

Roswell is ranked 10th in the ga.prepcountry.com.
Camden County, however, is legitimate, and can obviously beat anybody in the State on any given day. They have proven that over and over again. Yes, two losses, but very narrow ones, and against the very best. They could be our State Champion again, easily, in AAAAA.
However, 3-AAAAA is a complete and total disaster. Something wrong with the water down there? The region is 5-19 against non region opponents this year, and not a single victory is against another in-state AAAAA school. Discounting Camden’s quality win against a Florida team, the region’s four outside-of-the-region victories are against teams with a combined record of 7-22. I doubt a more mediocre performance disgraces the history of Georgia High School football.
Thus, Camden also has to overcome a huge handicap, which might be the equivalent of North Gwinnett having to play Meadowcreek for seven games in a row prior to the playoffs. Keep in mind how Camden can’t get ready to play anybody good when they can’t play anybody good in their region.

GH – Harrison finishing number 2 might be a stretch. And I don’t see Valdosta leaping over Colquitt in a two way tie because Colquitt won their head to head game. However if WARNER ROBINS, COLQUITT, AND VALDOSTA end up in a three way tie, points allowed among those three teams breaks the tie. Valdosta didn’t give up many when they played WR and Colquitt, so that they could well place 3rd.

Oedipus Tax – region 3-AAAAA is weak because Camden is the only bonafide Class AAAAA team in the region, based on student enrollment. Most of the Savannah schools are AAA in enrollment.
But remember, football is not the only sport played. GHSA rules prevent a team from traveling more than 100 miles on a school night. (Basketball, wrestling, softball, tennis, golf, baseball, soccer, etc.) Therefore those schools play “UP” in AAAAA because of travel time. It’s kinda not a good situation for Camden either because often their football team is not in “4 quarter game condition” when the playoffs roll around, because of substituting to prevent running up the score any more than they do. Their coach has really worked on that the past couple of years.

shawn, OF COURSE Carver-Columbus should beat the Grangers. In fact they SHOULD beat any team in the state considering their recruiting base of 11,000-12,000 kids. Throw in the legendary homegrown officiating in Muscogee County which alone is worth at least 14 points, Carver-Col should be unbeatable in Columbus. Just ask the Northside WR fans about the talent and size of the Carver players, but also ask them about the Columbus, Ga officiating in 2008.Do you remember the once powerful Shaw Raiders coached by Charles Flowers? Where was Carver-Col during the great years of Shaw? Answer: NOWHERE. Years of mediocrity. Coach Flowers leaves. Coach McGee takes the job at Carver and abraca dabra, Carver is now “king of the hill”. The Shaw Raiders for some reason no longer have a roster of any significance. On a neutral field along with impartial officiating, the 2009 Grangers would be my hands down pick to win the game in spite of the overwhelming talent base that is enjoyed by Carver. Enjoy your time as “king of the hill”. A little bird told me “there is a new sheriff coming to town who will once again upset the status quo in Columbus, Ga. HS football”. Truth is, if my team had to win at the expense of shamefully recruiting players from outside of their respective districts,I would find it difficult to enjoy the wins.

OedipusTax ,
I agree with you. And I can explain as to why, but not right now. Yo, Reeze, Eagle Nation Rising, and AVIKING could tell you why. What I will say is that the citizens does not support thier schools like they should. I can say somethings about the Region 3-AAAAA school that I am a fan of. I am a fan of Bradwell Institute. They have a very young and in experienced team this year, and they were doing very well this until a total of twelve starters got injured in different games this thereby sending their win loss record into a frenzy. But i will defend them by saying that Bradwell Institute have proven themselves to be a good football team as well in addition to Camden County. It seems as if you have looked up and studied the regions. So I will recommend to you to go to Ga Football Historians beginning 1980 to the present. You will see what Schools Bradwell Institute have beaten over the years, to include Valdosta, Warner Robbins, Baldwin County, East Coweta, Newnan and etc. As a matter of fact, Bradwell Institute did beat Region 4-AAAAA East Coweta “AGAIN” in the first round of the playoffs last year. So there you have it. You have Bradwell Institute, Camden County, and then everybody else in Region 3-AAAAA.
In Region 3-AAA you also have Liberty County that is doing great as well, and position themselves for the number two seed for the post season. OedipusTax, what Region are you from, and what team?

GH – I think you are way off base for the Region 5 picks (my Etowah bias aside). Woodstock owns the tiebreaker against Harrison meaning Woodstock would have to crater in the last three games AND Harrison would have to win out knocking off McEachern and Etowah in the process for the #2 seed. Similarly, EP’s chances of making the playoffs are slim even if they win out and beat Woodstock at the end… they lose every head-to-head tiebreaker with McEachern, Harrison, and Etowah.

Number 45 is a hoss, and I believe that running back #21? if he gets free watch out he can fly. Over all though I ddon’t believe Woodstock has the team speed of Colquit, NSWR, or Lowndes. O and the woodshed is awesome! I will also say I have never been to a football game anywhere in South Ga that was as laid back as at the woodstock game. Our games and fans are very intense!

(It was literally snowing at halftime of the Norcross game is why i point that game out). I also was at the Rock for Friday’s game and I hate to tell yah but thats not our normal crowd. Skogan (the RB) is 20 btw.
I hate to say it but Woodstock is on upset alert against Cherokee. Well for the first half atleast. Our QB has been suspended for the first half because he was found with dip which is something that O’B strongly hates. I’m sure Skogan and Carmicheal will step it up though.

Am I mistaken or does Northside have only 2 titles. Why does ENR speak as if they have some sort of dynasty going on. Northside is a great team with a great program and a great coach but for all of ENR ramblings they only have 2 titles. Well it could have been 3 titles if they had not “Northsided” away that state title game against Statesboro a few years ago. Do you rembember that game title game ENR. You have to admit you really “Northsided” that game away and deprived the loyal Northside fans of a title that year.

I understand that the SWD/Marist contest is a high stakes game, arguably the Region 6AAAA Championship, but look at the remaining schedule of SWD and that Tucker/ Stone Mountain game looks pretty important. What I’m saying is SWD could loose this game and end up the fourth seed in the Region because their last two games are against Tucker (6-1) and Stone Mountain (6-1). The Stone Mountain/Tucker game can be for the Region runnerup if the winning team wins out and SWD looses. Stephenson looks good and MLK will make the post season, but looks shaky as a playoff contender. I am so amazed on how talented Dekalb county is as a whole. Other counties are lucky that we are not allotted the same funds and facilities as Gwinnett, Cobb and Fulton. Otherwise you all would be in trouble.

Why does St Pius get on here and brag about winning? They are the largest private high school in the state, but they play in the 3rd largest division. Nothing to brag about if you ask me. You have students from all over metro Atlanta (yes, even as far south as Union City and Clayton Co), but you play against teams that have to play with what they have right around their backyard. What happened to the private schools having to play up? Does nobody else see the “leg up” they have? Someone on one of these blogs said that the Marist School plays up two classes. Is that true? How do they get to do that and the others have to play with their numbers? ALL of them should have to play up. When we played Pius, their team was HUGE (in numbers). If they had to play with just the people who live in their area, they would take talent from Lakeside and Chamblee….wow, what a powerhouse that would be LOL. Why don’t they get or want to play up two classes? Winning up there would be somethin to brag about…

Each region can break ties however it wants, but most use a system that uses head-to-head first, then record vs. teams in the classification in which they play.
re: Alcovy vs. Hillgrove: I can see either of those teams ranked, so we’re splitting hairs, but Hillgrove has been more decisive in its victories. Both could easily be 7-0, but Alcovy had a couple of close calls in its wins.

See, I was a senior cheerleader and all of those players, (Jason Respert (Tennessee Volunteer), Torrey Howard (Valdosta State University), Kenny Parker (Florida Gator)…. were my very close friends.. all agreed that it was the gateway that lead Northside to the program that it is now known for… Yes…. it was a tragedy that we lost such a great lead… but obviously Lowndes was a better coached team that year… Just as Northside is obviously a better coached team this year. =)

Interesting takes of the playoffs I see so far…Here is what I see happening to effect the #4 Seed in Region 5A…EP may/should beat Kennesaw Mtn this week, then may/should beat Cherokee in the final game of the year at “THE BONEYARD”…this takes us to the no longer as meaningful last game of the year at Woodstock…
I really DO NOT see EP having a chance in that game, Woodstock is just too loaded this year…So I have EP finishing at 6/4 & 5/4 in the Region…
I don’t see Harrison winning another game this year so they finish at 4/6 & 4/6 in the Region…
The only wildcard in that prediction is the Harrison / Marietta game which I know Harrison is counting on winning to end up tied with EP for the #4 seed and then they win the spot by virtue of beating EP last week…
whatever the outcome it is a mute point as neither team (EP or Harrison) has a snowballs chance against Grayson this year!!!
The other Paulding County game that should be fun/exciting this week is the
Hiram Hornets playing Hillgrove…that one should be a BARNBURNER!!!

Cannon – not sure I completely agree with you that Marietta should beat Harrison. You call it a wildcard… albeit you are hopeful and biased since it would improve EP’s chances of making the playoffs.
My take is that Marietta is basically a one dimensional team offensively with their stud running back, #21. He broke a long run for a TD on the first play from scrimmage against Etowah, but after that Etowah was basically able to contain him. I haven’t seen Harrison play yet, but I suspect if their defense shows up and plays containment, then Harrison actually has a good chance. Harrison looks (on paper) to be able to score offensively. Marietta will struggle to control the line of scrimmage.
