Spread the word. EAGLENATIONRISING is buying a round for all the AJC Sports Blog posters in the lobby hotel bar at the Omni Hotel during State Championship weekend. Also invited – Chip Saye, Todd Holcomb, and Michael Carvell.

EagleNationRising and HomeFieldAdvantage had a side wager on the Colquitt vs Warner Robins game. ENR guranteed us that Warner Robins would “violate” Colquitt. I pointed out to him the fact that the AP, Chip Saye and the AJC picked Colquitt, but he wrote paragraph after paragraph explaining how Rush Propst and his Alabama type team could not stay on the field with an accomplished, tough team from Warner robins Georgia.

The “friendly wager” was made on an AJC blog so it can not be denied. All posters are invited.
A table will be available with name tags where our nicknames – or blog handles – will be written so we can meet each other, and drink up ENR’s money. Lets spread the word and have a huge turn out. The more the merrier. Hopefully we can start doing this every year at the same time and location.

I think EagleNationRising should also say GOOOOOOO PACKERS!

I’m thinking off of the top of my head that the Region 7 second seed goes on the side of the bracket with Lowndes and the Region 7 champion goes on the side with Northside. Correct me if I am wrong but that means Camden/Lowndes winner would get the winner of McEachern/loser of NGwinnett and Ptree ridge.

McEachern run to a state championship very likely looks like this.

1st round – Region 8 seed 4
2nd round – loser of N Gwinnett/Ptree Ridge game
3rd round – winner of Camden/Lowndes
4th round – winner of Grayson/Newnan
5th round – winner of Colquit/Stephenson/Northside/North Gwinnett

looks like a fun trip for the McEachern Indians who will have to prove
through that gauntlet that offense really does win state championships.

In the above post the 5th round I should have said winner of Colquit/Stephenson/Northside/Region 7 champ (who IMO will be North Gwinnett)

I’m with you YO – No way will we meet the WINNER of PeaRidge and NG until the title game. Also, I differ from Todd in that last week when I filled out my brackets I listed Centenial instead of Kell, and Norcross instead of N. Forsyth. Other than those two we were the exactly the same.

Todd If Warner Robins was “looking ahead” to this week’s match up with NSWR when they were SHUTOUT by Colquitt, maybe the can beat their cross town rivals. ENR said last week that is very possible and he knows those two teams better than anyone. Just ask him.. Also IF Colquitt beats NSWR, yeah yeah “IF” is a big word, Lowndes is region Champ! Don’t write us in that bracket on the left side in INK just yet.

As a NG fan i am really hoping northside wins out and that we win that last game against ptreeridge. the loser of the region 7 championship game is gonna be in a very very difficult part of the draw. the winner will get northside in the 3rd round. this is much preferable to a lowndes team who no one wants to play in the playoffs. even if they lost earlier in the season. i think almost everyone would agree that lowndes is still better than northside w.r.

Todd: In looking back at the predictions for AAAAA playoffs, you have predicted 24 of the 32 playoff teams.
These are the 8 that were projected, with the probable teams in parenthesis..

Warner Robins (Colquitt Co), Tift (Valdosta), Luella (Newton), Savannah Johnson (Beach), Creekside (Pebblebrook), East Paulding (Harrison), Norcross (North Forsyth), & Parkview (Dacula).

Who would you say is the biggest surprise & disappointment in AAAAA this year? Mine would be South Gwinnett, Colquitt County, McEachern for surprises & Norcross, Tift County & Creekside as disappointments. Also, who would have thought that right now Grayson would have more WINS than Brookwood & Parkview COMBINED.

lookin at potential left side of bracket i do believe the state champion will emerge from the left… whether it be lowndes newnan or grayson… the right side has north gwinnett and northside which would both be great opponents but any of the 3 i listed have the defense to win, dont count out south gwinnett tho, they can and will sneak up on some people

BulldawgBite

October 25th, 2009
8:39 pm

good picks southGARules. im with ya all the way that south gwinnett and colquitt county are very much improved. those 2 teams are gonna beat someone their not supposed to in the playoffs. north forsyth is a lot better than people give them credit for. they have never been a factor in football but over the past 3 years have progressed and are now better than norcross. parkview got some tough injuries otherwise they would be in over brookwood or dacula.

SouthGARules

October 25th, 2009
8:50 pm

yo: looks very possible. The #4 seed will probably be the Brookwood/Parkview winner which if it’s Brookwood, it would be a rematch from the Corky Kell Classic. If Lowndes upsets Camden, then it’s possible that McEachern could play at home until the finals unless they lose a coin flip with Grayson/Newnan. In that case, they would be looking at maybe a 75 mile bus ride to Newnan & less to Grayson.

BulldawgBite: Thanks, I know you are looking forward to the NG-PRidge game in 2 weeks. I am looking to go to this one, it will be one of the top games in the state on Nov 6th. I know Brookwood & Parkview will be playing for the right to play McEachern, but playing for the Region 7 title trumps that game. (sorry BROOKWOOD MOM)

Usual Noises: You beat me to the punch. Good one.
SouthGARules: I agree with you on the disappointment and surprises, especially with Creekside. I am not sure if the coaching change played a big part. I think they may have changed their offense from the triple option. Also, Chapel Hill is very much alive in the playoff hunt from Region 4-AAAA. They end with Lovejoy and Westlake, two winnable games.
The Newton-Union Grove game should be pretty interesting because the loser will likely make the trip to Camden County.

Greyson Student – seems like you are forgetting about what appears to be a very good McEachern team. EagleNationRising, trying to shift attention from Colquitt’s shutout over the Warner Robins team that was supposed to “VIOLATE” them, annointed McEachern as the next great team. I admit they sure look good on paper to me.

On the left side of the bracket will most likely be Camden, Lowndes, McEachern, either PeaRidge or NG, Newnan, MLK, Roswell, and Grayson. Wowwwwwww! What a bracket!

Hornet Dave

October 25th, 2009

For surprises, throw in North Forsyth – any team with “Forsyth” in its name making the AAAAA playoffs looks like a typo. For disappointments, add Wheeler because it’s sad to see a team that won its region and beat the eventual state champs just three years ago lose 19 games in a row.

yo

October 25th, 2009
9:13 pm

Hornet Nation I think you are right. There is that bias because that is where the better teams are until one of the teams from the other areas proves other wise. Frankly I think Colquit made a statement this week that with only 1 loss they have as much right to be in the top 10 as any of the 8-10 place teams. Their only loss being to Lowndes.

MAD AS HELL

Creekside has lost 4 in a row since their offensive line coach passed away!! Also, is Colquitt County really that good or is everybody jumping on thier band wagon because they hail from God’s gift to football, South Georgia?? Everything will work itself out believe me!!

Hornet Nation: Actually, Stephenson, Newnan and Woodstock are all outside the perimeter. Roswell is having a good year record-wise and could make some noise in the playoffs, however, it is hard to judge that team against the rest of the state now since they have not faced a team that is above .500.

Again, where are the Grady fans?

the championship game might not necessarily be won by left side. it is so much more difficult for any team. there are two ways to look at it. left sides championship teams confidence should be high after playing a hellacious schedule while they may also be banged up :/ right side = way easier

I wish people would stop crying about these rankings, rankings will mean nothing here in about three weeks.Hornet Dave Roswell is rank in the coaches poll. Be glad that highschool football has a playoffs system instead some stupid BCS system like college football. If Lassiter, Roswell,Colquitt,etc, are that good they will take care of business in playoffs. Championship are won on the football field, not by polls and rankings!!!!!

For “yo” and others who think offense can win state this year, check out Lassiter. They get Roswell at home on Friday to decide the region championship, then (if they win) have perhaps the easiest path to the Dome. Don’t forget that Lassiter is coached by the “other” ex-Hoover coach, so he knows how to win in the big games and play for championships. Cobb County football has been taken to the next level — it could be McEachern vs. Lassiter in the state championship game.

The problem with Camden is over what you consider for the rankings. While I have no doubt that they are among the 10 best in the state, if you rank based on performance, Camden has played three actual football teams and lost to two of them. Fortuneately, there are playoffs so it doesn’t matter what anybody thinks.

HomeFieldAdvantage: Colquitt beat Warner Robins. You won the bet. However, you are fooling yourself if you are taking the liberty to add other people to the fray. Colquitt beat Warner Robins. You will get your drink.

As for saying, Go Packers…are you kidding yourself? Go Packers will be the last thing on your mind after we (Northside) shows you what a zonw blitz looks like. Eagle fans do not cheer for other programs.

Warner Robins was not looking ahead to Northside. Those guys completely understood that they needed to beat Colquitt or their hopes of reaching the state playoffs were slim. They simply turned the ball over too much. Warner Robins had every opportunity to win that game.

It has become the hallmark of their program. It will be interesting to see how those guys over there at Warner Robins inevitably evaluate their own program.

As for Northside, we are still on track. We take each week at a time. There is no week like this week for everyone who has ever walked the hallways of Northside High School. There will be multiple pep rallies from pre-bell hour in the morning, through breaks, through lunch periods, and concluding each day. It is the BIG GAME in Warner Robins. It is great to be a Northside Eagle!

Todd: Roswell is UNDEFEATED. They are one of only a few metro Atlanta programs that compete in AAAAA and actually have a State Championship. Less the ten current Atlanta schools in class AAAAA have a State Championship. You guys should forget all the college prospect hype. I NEVER thought that a program like Roswell would be undefeated this late in the season and nranked. It is a borderline joke!

Roswell has eon State Championships without having players with big time reputations and fanfare in football and in basketball. There are very, very few metro Atlanta programs with any tradition of winning. Roswell is one of them and someone should show Roswell some respect!

For all of those who believe that McEachern is anything less than one of the five best AAAAA teams in Georiga, stop fooling yourself. They have thoroughbred athletes and a strong coaching staff. I saw them this past Friday night and they were VERY impressive.

As for potential pairings, the home teams are going to roll. Mark it down.

Don’t understand why Sprayberry gets snubbed again. Granted they have two losses, but one was to Lassiter (a 5A school) in which the Jackets held them to their lowest point total of the year (14). I guess after we put the beat down on Hiram this week, you won’t be able to ignor us then.

Hiram showed me a LOT las friday night as they kept coming back against a FAST, Well coached and HUGE Hillgrove team. Hiram scored on Offense & Defense and corrected first quarter mistakes to keep a highpowered Hillgrove team in check in the vital 4th quarter…

The Hiram / Sprayberry match-up this friday should be something to see as the winner obviously locks up the sub-region.

Harrison has Marietta this week and EP has Cherokee coming to
“THE BONEYARD”…another Harrison loss and EP taking care of Cherokee “SHOULD” put EP in the 4th seed for Region 5A/AAAAA
BUT…BUT…BUT…as I have said many times before, while I would of course like to see EP make the playoffs again, I don’t think it matters this year if EP or Harrison draws the 4th seed as that team gets the DUBIOUS honor of traveling to Grayson and baring a gift from “the football gods” neither EP nor Harrison can handle Grayson this year!!!

If offense is going to win the state championship, look no further than Lassiter. They get Roswell at home on Friday to decide the region championship, then (if they win) have a relatively easy trip to the semifinals. They’re coached by the “other” ex-Hoover coach and know how to win big games deep into the playoffs. Cobb County football has been taken to the next level – it could be Lassiter vs. McEachern for the state title.

Marist did not get beat “badly” — was up 7-6 at halftime and the 14 point loss was not decided until mid-way in the 4th quarter. Was actually a close game.

I am surprised that Tucker remains in the Top 10 — got smoked by Marist earlier in the season and barely escaped against a Stone Mountain team that is not nearly as good as its 2 loss record suggests. I expect Tucker to get crushed by SWD, the same way that Marist crushed Tucker a few weeks ago.

Chip &/or Todd: I see you all have Union Grove beating Newton this week. Interesting. Considering that Newton forced Stephenson into overtime and only lost to MLK by seven. Stephenson just needed a half to put Union Grove away. Grabbing the No. 3 seed as opposed to being No. 4 is huge since the region is matched up against Region 3. This is might be the biggest regular season game that both UG and Newton have been in for a while. Big stakes to aviod a trip to Camden. A win by UG makes the season finale against MLK big because the winner gets to host a first round game, but I don’t think there is much difference from playing the Region 3 No. 2 or 3 team in the first round. The only thing is you get to be at home. Newton and UG fans lets here your take.

Get Real: Your comment on Buford or Charlton being the only teams that can win Class AA are way off. I’ve seen Charlton County play several times. The Indians have an explosive offense that can play smashmouth football or if need be win by throwing. Charlton’s downfall will be on the defensive side of the ball. The Indians can’t stop the run nor the pass with any consistency. Their playoff games could resemble the old WAC playing days with the first team to 50 winning.

Greetings EagleNationsRising,

You still have two very tough games you still have to play before claiming that Region 1-AAAAA Title. Warner Robbins is still very much a team to be reckoned with, and also Colquitt County.

Dekalb Football Fan: Tucker in the top 5 — are you insane. Tucker barely beat a Stone Mountain team that lost by 29 points to Marist. Stone Mountain is better than it has been in the past, but a strong team would have pounded them. I am confident that Tucker will lose big to SWD, like it lost to Marist this year. This is just not Tucker’s year.

Just the Facts!

October 26th, 2009
10:57 am

Yeah, Ed, quit hating on Tucker. The Tigers have established themselves as a top 10 program like Marist. Remember what happened last season.

SWD outgained Marist 314 to 123, with Ken Malcome rushing for 182 yards, including a 74-yard touchdown in the first quarter.Matt Connors rushed for 43 yards and a touchdown, but Marist didn’t have a run longer than 16 yards. QB Andy Perez was 3-for-8 for 41 yards and had minus-31 yards rushing. All this according to Georgia High School Football Daily.

Face it, Tucker, SWD and Marist are the three opponents nobody will probably want to face in the playoffs. Stone Mountain could be a tough out this year. It all proves that Region 6-AAAA is probably the toughest 4A region in the state. And with basketball season around the corner, we all no 6-AAAA rules.

re Region 6-AAAAA, I think Todd is right re their relative shortcomings vs teams outside the region.
Walton squeaked by a Norcross team that has turned out to be a dissapointment, & I don’t see a quality win yet by either Lassiter (ok – they just beat Walton) & especially Roswell.

Until Roswell beats both Lassiter & Walton, I don’t see how they can be in the top 10.

If Walton beats Roswell & finishes #2 in the Region, then that side of the draw gets even more interesting.

Not hating, just speaking the truth. Agree that 6-AAAA is the deepest region of Georgia AAAA football and nobody wants to play the top teams in that region as part of the playoffs. But come on, admit it — Tucker is a litle down this year — even you expected a better showing against Stone Mountain. Tucker may win a game, or maybe even two, in playoffs, but you don’t really think Tucker has a serious chance to make it to the semis, do you?

They moved the ball once against the stingy Packer D and fumbled out of the back of the Packer endzone. One drive and one turnover, the other turnover was on a desperation pass late in the fourth quarter after the game was out of reach. The Demons simply got punched in the mouth from that start of the game and never recovered. I made the statement last week that these guys are as good as some of their 90’s teams, especially the defense. The state is finally taking notice of this team, although Todd Holcomb doesn’t place them in the top ten yet.These guys are good, and the NSWR and Colquitt game will be a classic. Do you still want to talk about WR’s football, or would you rather wait until after game 10?

People, people, let’s bring it back to this universe. This is your second year in 1-AAAAA and you got beat by Lowndes and Camden County. No surprise to most of us that you got beat early in the playoffs. Now, you might win a region title and you’re already putting the trophy in the case.

We’ll see how far you get. P.S. Grayson is in Gwinnett County.

First I’m affiliated with any of those schools and have a ton of respect for each as with Region 6-AAAA. If Tucker reached the semis, I wouldn’t be all too shocked because last year they lost of ton of players from the previous team and won a championship. There coach has really matured into a good head coach after cutting his teeth as DC at powerhouse Camden so anything is possible. Tucker may not have the big name players they have had in the past, but there is still a lot of talent and proud that runs through that community. A good draw in the playoffs, and they could be there.
Look at East Paulding’s team in 2006 that went through a very weak region and a weak playoff bracket that included Madison County, Rome and a Starr’s Mill program on the downturn to reach the semifinals.
So, I’m saying a Tucker playoff run with the right bracket is possible like a tougher playoff draw for SWD and Marist could spell an earlier exit. Hopefully, the latter will not happen and all three make it far. It would boost well if Stone Mountain could also get on a roll.

Big J
For the past 30 minutes, I’ve been trying to post a response to your question, but it wouldn’t go through. I’ll try again.

Personally, I still think MLK is going to be the No. 2 seed barring any major collapse. The Newton-UG game should be for the No. 3 and 4 seed, with the loser getting the trip to Camden.
However, if your forecast holds true with them all finishing 5-2 in the region, I think they will use the most common tiebreaker of overall record in classification. Meaning you put in all games against Class AAAAA teams, and the one with the best record takes the No. 2 seed and then the remaining two teams you use head-to-head record. If that is the case, MLK gets the No. 2 seed because they would be 6-2, win over North Cobb. Both UG and Newton did not play any other 5A teams outside the assigned region games. You would then take their head-to-head game and determine the No. 3 and 4 seeds.
Again, Region 2-AAAAA might have come up with some other tiebreaker format, but this is the most common used one. If anyone knows for sure, please inform, although I think it will not go that far.

This a huge game for the Rams@Union Grove. Everyone is conceding this win to UG but we match very well with them. I like the way the Rams have gone about business the last two weeks with a combined 59-7 showing against weak Douglass and Greenbrier teams. It shows the guys are focused and will be confident going over to McDonough. AJC has overlooked Newton all year but check us out: look who we have lost to. Stephenson, MLK, Alcovy have 3 LOSSES between them. Don’t be suprised if we sneak out of there with the upset. Even if we lose its been a great season, looking forward to playoffs and region re-alignment, Newton is going to be a beast pretty soon watch and see.

This is one Eagle fan that is taking it “one game at a time”. While I hope to win these last two games (Warner Robins and Colquitt), I think anyone would be a fool to suggest either will be easy. I will say this. No matter what happens the rest of the way, 2009 has been a spectacular season for the Northside Eagles. At the beginning of the season 5-5 seemed like a strong possibility. With the group of retlurnees, next year looks very promising also, although it will be iin AAAA.

AVikingFan: Good response, on the Marist-MLK argument. You could make a sound argument FOR and AGAINST MLK being in the top 10. I would image if Todd had a top 15 that MLK would be around 11-13. After you get past the first 11 teams in AAAA, then it is a crap shoot. Remember after Marist’s loss to St. Pius to begin the season, they did drop out until they got some good wins and St. Pius went on to prove they are a good team. Now, MLK has to take care of the business in front of them and they can be counted among the top 10 in the final poll after the playoffs are done.

Todd Holcomb

Re: Marist & MLK: Good question from Panola Road’s Finest. The difference is the depth in AAAAA vs. AAAA. In the highest class, there are some very good candidates waiting to take MLK’s place in Woodstock, Peachtree Ridge, Lassiter & Roswell. Also Colquitt County and South Gwinnett. All of them are reasonable Top 10 choices. So is MLK. But in AAAA, to be honest, it’s hard to find 10 teams that I really feel confident deserve to be No. 10. So Marist gets a break, you might say. The other issue is that history shows Marist and Marist’s region to be more reliable than MLK and MLK’s region.

Hornet Dave: If you believe that Camden is really a Top 10 team, then we simply have a disagreement about how to rank teams. Also, it’s not fair to say Camden simply has played ‘’three actual football teams’’ because those three teams (two of them at least) are very, very good. Those two would be favored to beat Roswell, Lassiter, Peachtree Ridge and every team that’s behind Camden in the rankings. Camden has played as one would expect a Top 10 team to perform. Camden doesn’t have any defining victories this season, but teams like Camden don’t need them at this point. Defending champions that are perennially in the Top 10 need defining losses before I lose faith in them.

Re: Sprayberry: This is a team that is probably as deserving of a ranking as the bottom half that are ranked. The different between No. 6 and No. 12 in AAAA is very minimal.

Re: South Gwinnett: Not being ranked does not mean lack of respect. We can rank only 10.

AVikingFan…I’m not ENR but I can tell you for sure the Eagles-Demons game will be a close one. I think the team that can protect the ball best will win in a very low scoring affair…something like 10-7 or 13-10. I obviously hope that it’s the Eagles who win, but from a region stand point it doesn’t matter that much. We’ll still have to beat Colquitt OR not win the region, even with a victory over the Demons.

Newnan vs. Valdosta in Round 1? Whew! Bad draw. As much as I believe in the Newnan Cougars, Valdosta is like a wounded animal. VERY dangerous. Reminds me of 1992 when Newnan undoubtedly had the state’s best team led by Derrick Stegall, then lost to Colquitt County (the #4 seed from Region 1) in Round 1. Do not think this 2009 Newnan Cougar team will repeat history. But still believe this is the toughest first round draw for a #1 seed.

Hey to the Warner Robins & Northside fans … also hey to ENR, the self-appointed guardian of prep football truth in Georgia whose predictions continue to crumble like a 2-week old cookie:

Big game this week guys and the spotlight is on your city. Just wondering which national TV network is carrying the game … you know, like this year CBS College Sports televised the Lowndes-Valdosta game, and last year ESPN televised the Valdosta-Lowndes game. By the way, our city/county’s old mantra of Winnersville USA was replaced last year when Valdosta-Lowndes County was named by ESPN as the winner of its very first “TitleTown” USA contest. As you might know, ENR, this award went to the one community in all of America which ESPN determined to be the winningest sports community in the United States of America. Where did Warner Robins end up in this contest, since I am sure they must have been in the running for it?

Special Alert Early Prediction: Warner Robins 14, Northside 10

Even More Special and Earlier Prediction: Colquitt Co 20, Northside 14

Finally this … Mrs. ENR, you must believe that your continued reference to Lowndes “County” High School is a way to raise the ire of Viking fans. Please be advised: Not only does it not work, but it is incorrect, inaccurate and just plain wrong. The official and proper name is “Lowndes High School”. Above all else, this is a very poor reflection on someone like you who never gets any fact or piece of information wrong, and who prides himself on absolute total perfection in everything she writes, especially when it comes to game predictions. Furthermore, it wastes your time, since you are so obsessed with your rantings against Lowndes “County” High School, that you must be typing that phrase at least 100 times per week in all of your monopolistic and bombastic postings. So, try writing the right thing — not only will it be accurate and correct, you will save yourself lots of time.

We anxiously await your next retort, as it is humanly impossible for you not to respond to any posters writing anything about your beloved Iggles of Snortside High School (Oops!).

If Warner Robins can not run the ball (see Grayson, Colquitt County, Valdosta), they will LOSE. In the 30+ years I have followed Warner Robins HS football, they have only had 1 QB that could pass (Bob Davis, son of the coach). For all the people that have made excuses about injuries, I read where Thomasville won Friday night with their THIRD String QB.

Looks like Newnan in ‘09 is almost a perfect replica of Newnan in ‘08. Let’s see … thru eight games this year Newnan is 8-0 with five shutouts and 28 total points allowed on defense and 33.5 ppg scored on offense. Through eight games in ‘08 Newnan was 8-0 with four shutouts and 28 total points allowed on defense and 41.0 ppg scored on offense. Maybe the only difference is the offense was better last year.

Newnan is clearly the best team inside region 4-AAAAA. Outside is another matter, as what counts is what you do in the playoffs. As Newnan proved last year, all those shutouts in the R-S don’t mean much. Just like this year, when Lowndes steamrolled over every team until it hit a Northside team with a wise old coach and good athletes who knew how to slow down the Wing-T. And just like Lowndes vs. Grayson last year … regular-season victories are great, but a team better use them to prepare for the rigors of the playoffs.

The state champ in every Class, but especially in 5A, truly EARNS the right to be #1. Four of the last six years it’s been Camden or Lowndes. Maybe this could be Newnan’s year … good luck!

Sanity, they knew they (camden) had a match up and anyone who seen or was at the game has to admit Camden played on the Newnan side of the field the entire 1 st half and had atleast one fluke touchdown the fourth down pass that was broken up and then caught out of the air by a second receiver the non-defensive fumble that Powell had on the first play of the game (I believe we would have been better off on Defense first) No need to rehash old issues but the game may have been much different. Newnan will have to get by 2 good teams and then Grayson to get back to Camden who will also have quite a run to get back to the Semi finals

With that being said, it was said that GT could not win at UVA, but we know what happened Saturday. The only way Warner Robins wins is if they can run the ball effectively. I have said & will continue to say: If you stop the Demons from running the ball (see Grayson, Colquitt County, Valdosta), you will beat them. In the 30+ years I have followed HS football in GA, Warner Robins has had 1 decent passing QB (Bob Davis, son of the coach).
In a weird sort of way, I would like to see Valdosta make a long run in the playoffs & leave the powers that be in Valdosta with egg all over their faces.

Warner Robins can beat NSWR if they are successful at running the ball. However, as Grayson, Colquitt County & Valdosta showed, if Warner Robins can not run the ball, they are toast.
Also, you forgot Rule #1: NSWR does not lose at the MAC in the regular season.

A #3 seed would play either Lowndes, Northside or Colquitt County. So I stand by my earlier, statement, playing as the #2 or #3 seed is not different because you will either face Newnan or a Region 1 team in the second round. But anyway, good luck to you all Friday against Newton. That will be one of the first scores I will check for on Friday.

SanityRules I am sorry but I have to laugh at your seemingly naivetivity on that statement. May I suggest to your coach that while Newnan is playing cupcakes that he practice opening it up a little bit now. Deciding to open it up against good defensive football teams at a later date in such an important game as a playoff game just might be a little too late. Only 2 games remaining to get ready for good defenses and the playoffs.

Don’t forget the 15 Newnan gave up to AAA LaGrange.
Their toughest competition to date this year.
If on Lowndes schedule LaGrange might have been considered any where from the 3rd to as low as the 6th best team that Lowndes had played.
The fact is if your offense was any better, then your defense
would have given up some points by now, because your 3rd and 4th
string defense (like Lowndes and others) would have gotten some significant playing time.
Lowndes is one of the highest scoring teams in the state
against one of the toughest schedules in the state…according
to Todd and I believe Max Preps computers.

If Norhtside fails to win Friday’s game with Warner Robins in 1AAAAA, I would just as well see them lose to Colqiuitt. The team that comes in third from 1AAAAA will fair well in the play-offs. A long trip to Camden as the two seed is tough.

Still waiting to learn … which national TV network is going to televise the Warner Robins – Northside game Friday night?

Also this: Since Northside is so great (at least, according to ENR) when they become eligible to drop to 4A next year, they will choose to play up a class with the big boys in 5A won’t they?

“This year will have more upsets in AAAAA than any previous year. Threre are too many good teams and very few great teams”.

I AGREE SPORTSFAN31313: starting with Greyson, then Northside, then Camden, McEachern, Newnan, Lowndes, N. Gwinnett, Lassiter, Roswell, Stephenson, Woodstock, Colquitt, Walton, etc.

A great time of the year. The last two games are like playoff games!

Some BIG games coming in the next 2 weeks.

NSWR, Colquitt
North Gwinnett, Peachtree Ridge
Roswell, Lassiter

Looks like the Friday Night fun only gets better from here.

I would like to point out that another team that has been a positive surprise has been Collins Hill. I will be anxious to see how deep they can make it in the playoffs.

Peachtree Ridge seems to show up to their games with 2 completely different teams. Sometimes they play inspired and almost flawless football. Other games they sputter on both offense and defense. Squeaking one out by 17 – 10 over South Forsyth (1 – 7) is highly unexpected for a team of this supposed caliber.

I am confident that Northside will beat Warner Robins and Colquitt, winning the vaunted 1-AAAAA title in their second year. The Northside defense is very athletic and will carry this team a long way. Should the playoff scenario unfold as predicted, North Gwinnett will be a big challenge, but I expect Northside to win that game as well. I would enjoy a rematch with Lowndes or taking on Grayson in the dome. It’s going to be fun.

Suwanee 0wnz, I must say I agree, unfortunately PRHS seems to either play really well or really poorly. Against Harrison and North Forsyth we played like a team that deserved its top 10 ranking. But against Lowndes and South Forsyth, we played poorly and made silly mistakes that a team of our caliber shouldn’t be making. I will say this about the South Forsyth game, we started our backup QB and played him until the very end of the game when we needed our starting QB to throw a TD pass. (He had a minor left shoulder injury from previous in the week)

YO, Before you go slamming on non-AAAAA teams,(once again), remember that your beloved Lowndes could only put up 7 against Northside while AAA Carver put up 12. And, before dogging the schedule of Newnan, I ask you why all of the respect for Camden County? Aside from Grayson and Hoover, who have they played? In looking at the 2 team’s schedules, I see Newnan with no less than 4 high quality opponents. By the same token, I only see Camden County with 2. I might add ALL OF THE REST “powder puffs”.*NOTE Camden County LOST to the only 2 teams of significance they have played in 2009. Newnan has won all of their games.

I love the way you think PLOWBOY but I think JL (2:16pm post)is right. We had our chance to beat Northside and wasted it. 4 yard line with 9 seconds left, kick a field goal, go into overtime, and win the game. Instead we tried one more play, completed a TD pass to win the game, but was called for offensive interferance in the endzone. Then missed a 36 yard field goal to end the game. That’s about as close as you can get without winning. But Northside won, and I think they will win the region. (A rematch in the Dome is quite possible) I just can’t see Colquitt beating them at the MAC.

YO, Just a few more things, then I will shut up. Have you seen the Grangers this year? Didn’t think so. Are you aware of QB Jamius Gunsby(6′5 230) who has major offers from schools like Florida just to name one? Have you seen Joe Mansour, the state’s best kicker? Has field goals of 56 and 59 yards. Punts average 47 yds. Kick-offs in the end zone virtually every time. As impressed as you are with Ean Pemberton, you should see LG’s Ocie Salter(5′5 162) a Lionel James clone. Salter was a non factor in the second half against Newnan due to a devastating TD saving hit by Alec Ogletree. The Grangers have a full head of steam with good size and speed on both sides of the ball. Having said that, in defense of Newnan the Cougars played the Grangers without their #1 QB. So getting back to the schedule of Lowndes, just exactly which teams would you place ahead of the Grangers? P’Ridge? NO WAY. Northside? Possibly. Colquitt, Tift, HOCO, Valdosta? Just curious.

Hey AJC why don’t you guys do a Final Four or Final Two contest for each class when the playoffs begin?

You have 10 teams involved and 4 of them are from 1AAAAA.

Slalom….Northside, Peachtree for sure. Strong possibility of Colquit and slight possibility of Warner and the Cats.

With your Carver/Lowndes comparison I have to say then that Tift must be better than Carver or Lowndes since they scored 13 on Northside.
I think we can both now agree that is all nonsense.

draycoach, I have been to every charlton county game this year and I’ll agree they have a so so defense, however the point is how many teams can score 50? Nobody has done it to them yet this year. 48 is the best and in that game the score was 39-19 @ the half. It was a not so home game we played in Camden @ 6 on a Fri. as soon as we came out after the half we marched up and down the field and it went from 39-19 to 39-42 pretty fast. The fact is our 2 worse games of the season came to 2 teams desperate to beat us before we move back down to 1A. To those 2 teams it was their top goal of the season to beat charlton, call it their super bowl. So know what you’re talking about before you speak. Maybe the truth is you are a fan of one of those 2 teams.

Greetings AVIKINGFAN,

Yes this is going to be a serious fight to the finish. I haven’t anything like this as far as I can remember. The are some very very good teams going into the post season. Forget the Region. I don’t care who is Region Champions. When Round 1 of the playoffs begin, every team is going in 0-0. The winner stays, the loser goes home.

And again I will say this about Region 1-AAAAA. ENR is talking to soon about laying any claims to a Region Title. They still have a good Warner Robbins that they still have to play. This could very well be their upset this year. In addition, Colquitt County is still out there as well that Northside Warner Robbins still have to battle with.

As much as I love Camden, I think Lowndes is the team to beat. Even coach Heron stated his concern about playing lowndes in the 2nd round after what they did to Valdosta. But I’ll sure will be at the game when Lowndes comes to town pulling for my CATS!!!!! YEAH BABY!!!!
Something interesting, from what history that I can dig up I dont believe that Camden has ever scored a point against Lowndes. I for one would like to see Camden play stronger teams during the regular season, I think it would make them better over all. Its hard to tell what you really have for the playoffs when the rest of the region is so weak. At least coach Heron does schedule pretty tough non region opponents.

spwhite – Camden beat Lowndes twice in 2003, the year Camden 1st won the state title. They came from behind on a long drive and beat Lowndes in the playoffs that year. Both games were at Camden. Seems like Camden may have beat Lowndes one other time. In 2005 Lowndes beat Camden 30-0 in the dome semis and then Lowndes beat Camden 10-0 in the 07 dome semis. This year’s game should really be a good one in the 2nd round, unless Colquitt beats Northside, creating a 3 way tie, which Lowndes would most likely win in the region 1-AAAAA tie breaker system. In that case, Northside most likely would go to Camden in the second round.

YO, Plowboy, Vikingdad, and Goober – Lowndes gave up 10 points to Northside and 6 to Colquitt (total 16). Northside gave up 7 to Lowndes. Colquitt gave up 31 to Lowndes. If Colquitt beats Northside and scores 10 points or more creating a three way tie, Lowndes wins the region. Cross your fingers guys and let’s pull for Colquitt. Maybe Warner Robins’ tough style of play and the cross town rivalry thing can take something out of Northside and make it a little easier for Colquitt the next week. We’ve still got a chance for number 1! Gooooo Lowndes Vikings!

grayram: I like your idea for the Corky Kell Classic. However, they will play only 4 games & Brookwood is a given to play in the Classic every year (due to Dave Hunter’s involvement). McEachern will also be in the Classic automatically as a Cobb County representative.
SportsFan31313: I agree with you any team can be beaten in 1-AAAAA. However, Warner Robins is too one dimensional and if they can not run the ball, they are toast. I will also say that Colquitt County stands a better chance than Warner Robins to beat Northside. I also know that NSWR does not lose at the MAC in the regular season. (If I didn’t know that ENR would remind me of it) I will also say that streaks do come to an end as well. GT winning at FSU & UVA this year come to mind.

Grayram no there are no other teams. 1AAAAA and Camden are it in S. Ga.
That is what makes it tougher on the S.Ga. teams in the playoffs. They have to travel so far every week.

The reality is given the amount of AAAAA schools above Warner Robins the Atlanta area schools should dominate S. Georgia.

Next year it gets worse as possibly all 3 Warner Robins schools go back down to AAAA.

Also, the S. Georgia schools in AAAAA are generally smaller than our N.Ga. counter parts with the exception being Lowndes and Camden.

It will be interesting to see how realignment affects 1AAAAA and S. Ga. again next year.

I have compared this team to some of the Colquitt teams of the 90’s. They are physical and will just as soon punch you in the mouth. The coaching staff brings a swager to this team, and now they believe they are as good as anyone in the state.

Just a couple of observations (responses to previous posts)

The final pass in the NHS-Lowndes game was INCOMPLETE. There was a pass interference penalty, but the pass was not caught. Therefore, there was NO touchdown nullified.

Assuming NHS defeats WRHS and then loses to Colquitt, there would be a three way tie foor the region championship (thus Tri-Champs). The tie breaker on points would be used to decide seeding for the playoffs, and Lowndes would probably be number 1.

In spite of NHS win over Lowndes, I still think Lowndes is the better team and THE TEAM TO BEAT FOR THE STATE TITLE. However, as stated numerous times before, I am extremely proud of our very young Eagles team. I don’t think it will happen, but they could end the year wiith three straight loses and this year would still be successful. Next year promises to be even better.

It’s great to be a Northside Eagle.

I you can’t under estimate Warner Robbins. Just when you do that, warner Robbins will beat you. Warner Robbins lost a few key games by penalties. I bet that Warner Robbins will give Northside Warner Robbins a run for their money this year, and may be the team to beat them Northside Warner Robbins in their Stadium thereby bringing a halt to their record of wins at home. This is a very good year in Region 1-AAAAA. Brace yourself for these last two weeks of regular season play in Region 1-AAAAA.

I posted this on the other blog but this seems to be more current:

To AVikingFan and HomeFieldAdvantage: I don’t doubt you guys on the 1-5A tie-breaker, but there still seems to be some uncertainty about the precise method. So can you guys cite or reference the authoritative source of this info, and better yet, even document it or tell us where it is actually documented? I assume since each region has the right to determine their own tie-breaker methods, it must have been voted on and actually documented somewhere, maybe in the region secretary’s office. Just curious because the method does seem unusual, and it varies from the past method which called for best record against all class 5A competition.

SportsFan31313

October 28th, 2009
1:37 pm

Well I posted this comment on another site. But I see that it would better fit to post it here: Here is my First round Predictions:

At the beginning of the season, I predicted that Lowndes County will be the team to beat, and that no one could beat Lowndes County this year. I was proven wrong by Eagle Nations Rising. ( Boy Do I Dislike It Coming From Him) But this year in Class AAAAA just like it has already been commented on, In Class AAAAA it will be a serious battle / fight to the finish in the playoffs this year among Class AAAAA Teams.

Right now in Region 1-AAAAA, All I can say is WOW!!!!! It is to be expected as any team from that Region could make a run for the State Title. Right now, you have Northside Warner Robbins who is number one in the Region, very close by Lowndes County in second, In third you have Colquitt County who has also made a serious statement of not counting them out, and in Fourth you have Warner Robbins who has quietly won themselves into playoff contention this year. Those four teams alone can and probably will create Havoc in the playoffs. But here is the problem. The fourth seed could still be up for grabs as Warner Robbins has two tough final regular season games to play. That is Northside Warner Robbins and Lowndes County. If Warner Robbins by chance upsets Northside Warner Robbins, this can and will be very interesting unless Northside still remains in first as they have beaten Lowndes County in the regular season. If not, then Valdosta will have a chance to enter as the number 4 seed, if Warner Robbins drop their last two regular season games. Then Warner Robbins will be out of Playoff contention. This is very exciting as Region 1-AAAAA still has one or two more weeks to determine the 4th seed. You just never know in Region 1-AAAAA until the last game is played. This year in region 1-AAAAA, the Fat Lady wont sing until the last game more than likely.

Region 2-AAAAA you have in order of seeding, Stephenson, Union Grove, Martin Luther King, who are very dangerous this year, and are very capable of beating some top ranked teams in Class AAAAA. Then you have Newton who will probably be gone as soon as they enter.

Region 3-AAAAA you have Camden County who is Always making their mark for a Title, and can not be under estimated. The 2nd seed Windsor Forest of Savannah, who shockingly upset Bradwell Institute this year, 3rd seed Bradwell Institute who normally comes in 2nd in the Region behind Camden County, who are playing this year with a very young team to include 12 starters being injured in the regular season with 5 of the twelve being out for the season. I have never seen anything like this in high school football. That may answer the question as the reason why they (Bradwell Institute) were beaten this year by some non contender teams like Jenkins of Savannah, and Windsor Forest. The 4th seed is Beach of Savannah. As much as I am a Fan of Region 3-AAAAA (Bradwell Institute) I am realistic. Every school in this Region this year, I suspect to be one and done with exception to Camden County that may make it to round two of the Playoffs. But I believe that their run will come to a screeching halt in the 2nd round this year when, and if they face Lowndes County.

Region 4-AAAAA you have Newnan, and then everyone else. Same here. Just like Region 3-AAAAA all except for Newnan will be one and done.

Region 5-AAAAA you have McEachern, whom has played very well this year as the number one seed. But I put number the 2 seed Woodstock to go further than McEachern in the playoffs. Etowah, and East Paulding will be one, and done after playing those teams from Region 8-AAAAA.

Region 6-AAAAA you have Lassiter. They may get by in the first, and you also have Roswell who may also get by, but Walton and Milton, they may be exiting after the first round.

Region 7-AAAAA you have North Gwinette followed closely by the “Ridge” Peachtree Ridge. They will definitely advance to the 2nd round. Collins Hill, and Norcross will more than likely exit after the first round.

Region 8-AAAAA you have Grayson or as AVIKING FAN put it, “GREYSON” who we all know, will have no problem advancing to the 2nd round. South Gwinette will advance as well, but for Dacula, and Brookwood, call it a day after the first round, and see ya next year in 2010.

So, there you have it after the first round. I will comment after that first round is over, and done with.

One thought put Camden in region 1 please. Put the Savannah schools in 3A, at least for football. Hey spwhite Lowndes vs Camden record is Lowndes 6 – Camden 4. The last two meetings Lowndes has put up shutouts againist the Wildcats. Last time Camden scored on Lowndes was in 2003. I don’t bet, but I’m sure waiting for 20 Nov to get here. Go CATS!

Randy, we had that debate a week or two ago (way to show that your a noob) and as much as everybody would love to have Camden in r1 its just not practical. The girl’s lax team wouldn’t have enough money to go to Lowndes and Valdosta, much less Northside.

Region 6AAAA,

Out of your interesting picks,

Take Mceachern over Brookwood

Take Union Grover over Windsor Forest (Surely)

Take South Gwinnette over Etowah

I agree with you on the other picks……

SportsFan31313…

You may want to reconsider your East Paulding prediction…IF the playoffs started this week its Harrison NOT EP that is the #4 seed in 5A…for EAST to take the #4 seed Harrison has to lose to Marietta this week and then EP has to beat Cherokee…and if I am not mistaken EP would STILL need Harrison to lose to Etowah in the final game of the season…all this is because Harrison beat EP week before last.

If I am wrong please correct me…

YO, I caught the “kudos” to LaGrange. Udaman. Also I have been clear in my prediction that Lowndes is the most likely team to win AAAAA. As for Newnan, no argument their region is not as tough as Region 1. However, outside of Region 1, Region 4 stacks up pretty well against the rest of GHS football AAAAA regions.I realize you are still having nightmares of those little purple men who get “bigger abd bigger, along with one little purple man who is running around and through everybody on the field”. (I took the liberty to paraphrase one of your previous post.) But seriously, do you believe that Grayson is really that good? How about McKeachern? Camden County? Even Northside? Do you believe that on a neutral field Northside would stand a chance against Lowndes? Then there is P’Ridge and Newnan. The Cougars are for real my friend.

Sportsfan31313: I really like your breakdown of the AAAAA playoffs. However, I must respectfully disagree with some of your observations. I have more confidence in Valdosta beating Tift & Houston County than Warner Robins beating Northside & Lowndes. Even if Warner Robins wins 1 of the 2, they still lose the tiebreaker with Valdosta by Valdosta winning in their head to head matchup. In Region 7, Norcross has Collins Hill & Peachtree Ridge left. They currently have a 1 game lead over North Forsyth with 2 games to go. North Forsyth has an easier schedule & the probablility of winning both games. If they wind up tied, North Forsyth gets the #4 seed by virtue of beating Norcross. However, the results will be the same. The #4 seed in Region 7 will go down whoever it is.

Good post SportsFan31313 – That took a lot of work man. Good job. But I believe Valdosta win 4th place in Region 1-AAAAA. Can’t believe WR will beat Lowndes in the Concrete Palace in the last reg. season game.

Goober,in response to your question about region 1-AAAAA playoff bylaws, I have the region By-laws in writing but am not authorized to pass them out. Contact the region secretary at Colquitt High, School, Kevin Giddens. Maybe that’s something Todd might want to do.

In case of a three way tie, the tie breaker is adding all the points allowed in all games involving playoff teams and games among the three teams tied. I.E., if there was a 3 way tie for 4th place, you would add each teams “allowed points’ in all of their games with all playoff teams including the two other teams they were tied with.

If there is a 3 way or more tie for 1st place, same thing.

In case of a two way tie for any position , head to head game result decides winner for that position.

Here’s exactly what would happen if Colquitt beats Northside and a 3 way tie results, with Colquitt, Lowndes, and Northside. Lowndes surrendered 6 to Colquitt, 10 to Northside, and 15 to 4th place Valdosta (providing Valdosta does win 4th place). Total 31 allowed by Lowndes. Northside allowed 7 to Lowndes and 13 to Valdosta, 20 points so far. Lowndes put 31 on Colquitt and Valdosta scored 7, so Colquitt has given up 38 so far and would be out of the running for the region title.

Now this is all based on the BIG WORD “IF” Colquitt beats Northside. The score in that game would then decide the region championship. Lowndes has other wise given up 31, Nothside 20. So, if Colquitt scores 12 or more on Northside and wins the game, Lowndes is Region Champ.

Simple ain’t it? BTW, this foremat has been in place several years in Region 1-AAAAA and is the direct result of this region’s teams having difficulties scheduling other Class AAAAA teams to come to South Georgia for non region games. Prior to this format to decide ties, we counted AAAAA non region wins as the tie breaker.

Ok, a few questions. Seems like there are some very knowledgeable people here. 1. What are the qualifications to be a class AAAAA vs a AAAA? I know that the Savannah teams do not have very many players on them but yet they are AAAAA. 2. How are the playoff brackets decided? One year Lowdnes and Camden meet in the championship game, the next they are in the same playoff bracket. 3. Why couldnt we get Camden in another region. I would rather go watch Camden play Valdosta, Lowdes,Coffee, or Warner Robins, then the Savannah teams. And I bet there would even be more fan participation because of the quality of teams that will be playing one another. I see it every year here at Camden. When we play top teams place is packed. When we play sub par teams home side full but not packed but visitors side pretty empty. I would think evrybody involved would benifit, schools, teams, players, and fans!!!!

Wolverine2Blazer

spwhite, because the Camden teams other than football can’t afford to go to Valdosta, much less Northside that much.

HomeFieldAdvantage

October 28th, 2009
11:06 pm

spwhite – GHSA rules prevent a school from traveling more than 100 miles on a school night, and remember, schools play other sports besides football. A school can’t be in one region in football but in another region for other sports. Basketball games, baseball games, tennis matches, golf meets, wrestling, softball, etc schedules many games on Tuesday or Thursday nights. A team can decide to play “up” ith a larger size region, but can not play “down ” into a smaller size region. For Camden to move to Region 1-AAAAA the closest school is Coffee county, 98 miles. All other region schools are over 100 miles. By the way, the Savannah area schools do quite well in AAAAA basketball.

For the past 4 years 1850 students put a school into Class AAAAA. I’ve heard the number most likely will increase to probably 1900 for the next 4 years. GHSA will use the attendance numbers reported in Oct 2009 which have not yet been made public. As an example, in the March 2009 attendance numbers reported to the state, Valdosta had 1937 students and Lowndes had just under 2800. I understand Northside had just over 1900. Many Atlanta area schools exceed 3000. When the numbers for the October reporting are published, the GHSA will decide which teams are 5A, 4A, 3A, etc and they will remain that way for 4 years (I’ve been told).

Hope this helps.

SOUTHGARULES – Warner Robins has two region losses with games remaining against Northside and Lowndes (at Lowndes). Valdosta has three region losses but will be favored in their last two games against Houston County and Tift. Should they both finish with 3 losses, Valdosta would be the 4th place team because of their win head to head. I do NOT think WR will beat both Northside AND Lowndes, that’s why I wrote Valdosta in INK to travel to Newnan in the 1st round.

I hate it when others say this but, I think that everyone will be suprised by peachtree ridge in the playoffs this year. There is history to prove this: 06: state champions, 07: beat number 1 north Cobb, 08: beat Grayson, runner up.

Ng-pr is going to be the best regular season game this year!

These last 2 weeks will be tough for NSWR, no doubt,but they will find a way. As for Lowndes posters, NSWR was in your vaunted backfield half the night and Lowndes County will also not get by Grayson either, no way, no how! Lowndes cannot play with teams in their same class. Get used to it Lowndes, no state title for you, yet again, get used to it!

HomeFieldAdvantage: I agree. In an earlier post, I said that the coaching career of Rick Tomberlin at Valdosta would come to an end in Newnan in the 1st round of the playoffs. I wonder if the powers that be at VHS had to do it over again, would they have run Mike O’Brien.
He was 70-20-1 @ Valdosta with a state title. Since he was run, VHS is 46-34 with NO state titles. Just wondering……

Pridge senior…I agree with you that the NG/PR game should be one of the best of the year! I wish I could see that one. However, I have got to go out and support my Hoyas on thier “1st” play-off game!! If we lose to Marietta, we are done!! I will pulling for Peachtree Ridge, due the great respect I have for thier excellent program and the class thier supporters have shown us each time we have played them!! Good luck!!

Hoya Chuck – the “powers to be at Valdosta” became disatisfied with O’Brien because he let his assistants be off on Saturday, and not make a presence at the local Boys Club or YMCA for youth league football games. Lowndes had a huge presence there and was starting to get county kids playing there to stay with “county” middle school programs instead of enrolling in the “city” middle schools which was something that had happened at Valdosta for many years. A lot of the former Wildcat “stars” were “county” kids who were “influenced” as youth leaguers to attend “city” schools. That’s when the tide started turning in Lowndes’ favor in the competition between Lowndes and Valdosta. People in the “know’ said O’B was stubborn about that and was let go. (At least that’s the local rumor.)

I personally think some of the “powers to be” at Valdosta sometimes think they have the “power” to bring Nick Hyder back.

To play in Class AAAAA, enrollment must be 1850 or higher, or you must request it. Savannah schools choose to play in AAAAA. Schools may ”play up” if they choose.

The playoff brackets are set by the GHSA before the season. Too complicated to explain how they do it, except to say regions 1-4 and 5-8 play between themselves in the first round, and there is one team from each region in every quarter of the draw.

Camden didn’t play Lowndes in the championship last year.

Teams are put into regions based on geography. As for ”why can’t we get Camden in another region,” the GHSA doesn’t set regions based on what fans might want to see. It’s about limiting travel. Camden is closer to Savannah, and Savannah teams have a right to play in AAAAA according to GhSA rules.

The cutoff for AAAAA beginning next season will be 1900.

Greetings HomeFieldAdvantage,

Well as I said before, one could never know about that tough Region of 1-AAAAA. Warner Robins you could never under estimate that team, even when they are down. I was speaking of the Warner Robins / Northside Warner Robins game. It could very well be an upset which could have a potential to send the Region Title up for grabs. Well still I don’t know because the tie will go go to Northside Warner Robins because they beat Lowndes County. I was saying that ENR should not lay any claims to any Region Title in 1-AAAAA as of yet because we still have two weeks of regular season left. Lowndes County are on Northside Warner Robins Heels on obtaining that 2009 Region Title. In addition, we still have Colquitt County that have a long shot at laying claims as well. You never know.

SportsFan31313 You are absolutely correct abou not underestimating Warner Robins. Maybe the Northside players will this week, but I doubt it because of the rivalry thing. Lowndes will not underestimate them the following week at our stadium, I assure you.
But if Valdosta wins out (vs Tift and Houston County) Warner Robins will have to win out also in order to make the playoffs. Valdosta beat them in their head to head matchup.

Which two teams besides Camden and Bradwell do you think will make it from your region?

Regions 6-AAAAA and 7-AAAAA are going down to the wire next week.Peachtree Ridge vs North Gwinnett and Lassiter vs Roswell will be as good as any playoff game. I’d sure like to see both of’em. I think this week’s Newton vs Union Grove will be a good game, as will Roswell vs Walton. Course Northside vs WR is the biggest around South Georgia after Lowndes vs Coffee. (To me the biggest game is always OUR next one!)

Greetings HomeFieldAdvantage,

You have to say that Region1-AAAAA has been VERY exciting this year among other years in that Region. This year is for the region Title i so close, and can be within Lowndes County, and Colquitt County reach if Northside Warner Robins screws up these last games. The Rival game between Northside Warner Robins and Warner Robins, I have a feeling that Warner Robins may upset Northside Warner Robins. Northside Warner Robins fan base is too over confident about those Northside Warner Robins Eagles. I remember when Northside Warner robins couldn’t even touch Warner Robins shirt tails because they were always chasing it LOL…..:-)

Now that the table has turned for Northside Warner Robins, and they have defeating Warner Robins lately, they seem to be immune from getting beat by Warner Robins. That is the problem that I see. Warner Robins are very quiet right now and I believe that they may pull the upset this year silencing NSWR Fans. I sure hope that they have a lot of Law Enforcement present there, because if Warner Robins win, it will a battle off the field among fans.

In response to your question for Region 3-AAAAA in making the post season playoffs, it will be in this order: Camden County, Windsor Forest of Savannah, Bradwell Institute, and Beach High Of Savannah. All will be one and done this year with the exception of Camden County. Camden County will advance to the 2nd round and will be done if they meet Lowndes County in the 2nd Round. if not, then I will have to wait and see who they will be playing to make a prediction. Lowndes County will have no problem winning tonight against Coffee County….

And if we do beat NS Warner Robins then there won’t be no stopping the UG!!!
