Colquitt County will probably be the 2 or 3 seed in 1-aaaaa.I expect them to beat NSWR on Friday. If they are 3, they probably get to the quarterfinals or better. If 2 they have to play Camden in round 2 and that game could be a toss-up. Of course, if they win this week and Lowndes loses, watch out at number 1 seed they could go the distance. I am a lowndes viking fan by the way.

Watch out for Parkview, their senior QB is back. Look at games before the Grayson game in which they broke his jaw….lots of points. Bad news for Brookwood this Friday. Only good thing going for Brookwood is home field advantage. Huge game this week for both teams. Winner is 4th seed and loser packs it up for the season. So McEachern should be concerned if Parkview comes back into early season form with their emotional and big play leader. Will be a tougher game than most will expect.

Breaking news!!!!

Stone Mountain head coach is still on the job in spite of the forfeits. From an inside source, the coach and the school were given false information as to the residence of the player in question. When students register in schools, it is not the job of the school to physically check to see if registered students actually live at the addresses given during registration. They have to go on the word of the parents who register their children. GHSA did not fine Stone Mountain because the school and the coach did what they were supposed to do. It’s unfortunate that the first year coach had to go through this, but he and the program will be fine. I hear they will have a monster team returning next year!!

Keep your heads up, Pirates. They can take away your games through paperwork, but the victories on the field can’t be denied. You guys are on your way to the top!!!!

Piratefan – I find it hard to believe that the kid’s on the football team and the coach didn’t know where the kid lived. especially since he came from Lithonia during the season. This type of thing happens at all the school’s most just don’t get caught. It’s unfortunate!!!!

I’m always here, I just don’t get into the back and forth many folks start here. E.P. hasn’t had the best year to date but I think that has to do with problems between the team and head coach from what I’ve been hearing. When it comes down to it I just want to see a good showing from our region against the rest of the state. Looks like that job is going to rest on McEachern, Woodstock, and Etowah this year.

How has Coach McDonald from Newnan been excluded from the “best new coach” discussion? Despite the fact that Newnan went 13-1 last year, they lost their QB, #1 receiver, tailback, and strongest lineman. No love for an undefeated coach who has overcome high expectations due to the celebrity status of Alec Ogletree?

There are many players who attend high schools that are miles from their homes. This problem is worse in basketball. Many people who comment on these blogs are aware of the problem.

IT WILL BE INTERESTING FRIDAY NIGHT IN FITZGERALD, SPECIAL TEAMS WILL PLAY A BIG ROLE

• Link
• Report this comment

EP fans are still here…We are going to Woodstock tomorrow night to support our RAIDERS…

This was an EP team with a lot of promise going into the season but things for whatever reason didn’t gel this year. A mix of bad coaching calls (too many trys at running up the middle with an undersized
“O” line), not having enough seniors that stepped up and took charge on the field, bad clock management, not having a QB that could pass or for that matter that could run the team, and just a year with lots of juniors and underclassmen playing on the varsity squad that maybe will be a good lesson for them to bounce back next year from.

I agree with Hoya Chuck…it would be nice to play at least ONE MORE WEEK regardless who or where but realistically this is not an EP team that needs to go to GRAYSON and get a BUTT whipping. This is an EP team that IF they played like they did against McEachern could keep the game interesting but I am afraid it’s an EP team that will play like it did against Harrison, Cherokee and Etowah. If they went to Grayson and played like that…it would be an embarassment.

So it’s on to Woodstock and hopefully play a good game. The #4 seed in Region 5A is still a toss-up so it’s WAIT and SEE!!! I really don’t think Grayson cares who shows up from 5A they are ready and loaded over there this year again!

GO RAIDERS!!!!…TICK…TICK…TICK…2010!!!and BOOOOOOM TIME AGAIN!!!

Its unfortunate about what happened at these two schools. I guess thats what happens when you try to 1) be competitive in our region and 2) keep up with the BIG THREE. We all know that parents want their kids playing for winners and would do anything to get their child with a group of winners. Those teams my not get a shot but…………………..
WE STILL HAVE TEAMS THAT CAN GET IT DONE IN THE POST SEASON.
Worry about yourselves.

Greetings SportsFan31313,

SO many good games tonight. Really wish I could head up to The Rock for the game tonight. Or atleast over to Lowndes but there’s a Madden 10 Tourny and i’ve gotta take care of buisness. IMHO the 3 biggest games tonight is Northside-Colquitte (sp?), NF and ‘ridge, and my favorite Roswell-Lassiter. Will be interesting to see if Roswell has returned as the power that they were 4 years ago.

’spect the Wolverine D to be great tonight. Going for shutout # 5 baby. Wood- 35, EP-0

Looking for a Northside/Warner Robins Demon’s sweep tonight … Good luck to all the teams in Region 1- AAAAA tonight whatever the outcome…….This is the Houston county’s schools farewell games tonight in region – 1 and as a Eagle fan the last two seasons have been great ,well worth the mileage up and down I- 75 and other smaller south GA backroads…..I think Northside will take care of the Packers , and if The Demons play defense against the Vikes like played in the 2nd half against the Eagles last week , Lowndes or no other will beat them.

Vincent , Nothing but respect for Lowndes and Colquitt…..I just don’t understand why the rest of the Region never show Northside any….No excuses Warner Robins got MO on their side and beat the hell out of the Eagles ,any Eagle fan will tell you that…….Lowndes is a class act , but Warner Robins is a team that could beat the Vikes ,especially if the Vikes don’t mix it up and throw the ball ,The Demons are have a very good run defense ,all that I am saying…………Aviking fan ill be there.(omni)…..I think it would be a good idea to play up , Football no problem , but Baseball ,softball ,basketball and other sports are the problem……..The region I think did a great job of scheduling the South Ga school matchups vs the Houston county schools and vice versa by schuduling them on Fridays for the most part , but the Tuesday matchups the region could not help…….Tift is an hour and half maybe from Warner Robins, and that is the closes of the region 1 schools , I think if we were maybe even an hour away ,the powers that be would be all for playing up..

AVikingFan,

Well guess what? GHSA has added to Region 3-AAAAA another new school . Please welcome Savannah Arts Academy to the Region 3-AAAAA. Their current enrollment according to the web site is 696 students.

The only Class AAAAA schools in Region 3-AAAAA are Bradwell Institute, and Camden County. The nearest Class Class AAAAA for Bradwell Institute and Camden County to play in would be Region 1-AAAAA for Camden County, and Bradwell Institute would have to move to Region 4-AAAAA. or Region 1-AAAAA. Bradwell Institute can’t drop down to Class because they are a Class AAAAA School. GHSA would not allow it. You can play up, but you can not play down in classification. So you are right Northside Observer.

To qualify my statement, below is where I got the information from.

vikingsonamission, maybe in lowndes and a couple other places they are. but a lot of places just want to make it to the playoffs. Maybe i am wrong, but it feels different this year compared to prior years. Grayson doesn’t have decades of success, as the school is 10 years old. This is new around here and we realize that this might be the only time we have this good of a team for a LONG time. This is the best senior class Grayson has seen and probably wont be matched soon.

Wolverine Fan…

Don’t know about your “Cookie Cutter” comment but after visiting as many stadiums as I have in the last few years the biggest difference is the ATMOSPHERE generated by the fans both Home side and Visitors…

EP fans have outnumbered the Home fans at many of the schools we have played over the last few years and that along with the noise we make has caused many of the negative comments you see posted about EP…but that’s OK we have been proud of the way these kids have played and it’s been a great run for the kids graduating this year as they have been part of the entire 4 year run.

I have heard that “THE WOODSHED” is a hard place to play and win in for the visiting team so this should be fun tonight. As far as “Cookie Cutter” the RAIDER BONEYARD is a simple designed facility but the atmosphere at the games, our “CANNON”, and the great loud fans make the place ROCK!!! With Woodstock’s record I am sure you folks will pack the Home side tonight…EP will bring a good visitors side showing even with this years record, at this point they are playing for pride.

This is what makes high school football so much fun!!!!

Hats off to a very good Warner Robins team as many have said on here already. Man did I ever start getting a very uneasy feeling about this game tonight. First we (Lowndes) start the game without our leading rusher (Franklin), and then we fumble and lose our first 2 attempts at running the ball (both fumbles by Franklins replacements). 1 of which (Hunter) was hurt at the very beginning of the game and so now we are without 2 of our starters. It was a good test for our depth tonight.
With the score still tied 10-10 in the 3rd quarter we then lose one of our defensive lineman (Jordan Black) to a concussion and now we are without 3 of our (Div 1 prospect) starters.

The difference in the game was the defense sucked it up and our qback had an outstanding game throwing the ball. Along with our fullback up the middle that was our offense. Also hats off to the offensive line for Lowndes. Wingbacks had nothing for Lowndes tonight.

So to sum it up, we played the game without 3 starters, had 4 very costly fumbles giving the Demons good field position on each one and yet the boys sucked it up and came out on top pulling away in the end.

Proud of the Lowndes kids tonight in beating a very hungry, should be in the playoffs, Warner team. Hopefully we will be healthy a few weeks from now when we head to Camden.

Thank goodness for the depth we had to cover for the losses of some very good ball players.

P Ridge could have made this a completely different game, except that the coach chose to “go for it” 3 times with 4th and goal. Regardless of what the AJC article says the P Ridge coach was 0 for 5 on 4th down attempts. I shouted “Go for it” for 6 decisions, and the moron only thought better of it the 6th time when they finally missed a field goal from 35 yards. It would have been so much easier to make those 3 inside the 10.

Only 2 of the “4th and Goal” situations were in the first half.

Terrible coaching by P Ridge, the score at the half should have been 7 to 6. And P Ridge could have taken the lead in the second half by making their 3rd easy field goal.

Stupid Coach! Nonetheless, North actually stopped them. I believe North stopped P Ridge SEVEN times in the red zone. OK – no doubt about the bad coaching but still pretty darn good defense by North. If North allows one of those touchdowns, then maybe the coach looks brilliant?

North actually turned the ball over 5 times. Only one of those times led to a score, and P Ridge was stuffed when it mattered the other times. Kudo’s to P Ridge’s defense for causing those 5 turnovers. Kudo’s to North’s defense for making sure that only one of them led to a score.

Other than the 4th down attempts, it is hard to see what else P Ridge could have done differently. Lombardo was completely ineffective as a passer (except for a couple of times) and North’s defense repeatedly put pressure on him. P Ridge did well up the middle until North swapped in their “Jumbo” D line. The Jumbo line stuffed the Wing T every time it mattered. About the only play that worked well consistently for P Ridge was the off tackle play. And North mostly stuffed that in the second half also. So I am really not sure what else you would have had your coach do? He clearly just did not believe North could repeatedly stuff his 4th and short plays.

In the meantime, North’s spread can score from ANY time and ANY where on the field. The offense repeatedly sputtered tonight, but they did enough when they had to. At NO time did P Ridge lead in this game. It wasn’t a cake walk, but North’s defense made it obvious that 7 points wasn’t going to win this game.

Oh well. Hard fought battle. 2 good teams. Fortunately the refs did not influence the outcome of the game, despite a couple of questionable calls. Stupid coaching by P Ridge. Good defense by P Ridge. Great Defense by North.

I coached several players on both teams in little league football. It is fantastic to see them do well.

I still want to see how all the QBs do in the state playoffs. If I had to pick between Gainesville’s Blake Sims and Flowery Branch’s Connor Shaw, Sims would be my pick for that game. He was electrifying, and was a threat to score any time he touched the ball. Shaw looked fine, the Gainesville defense didn’t give him much time to throw in the first half, and he simply didn’t have as many offensive weapons around him at Flowery Branch.

Speaking negative, about someone success, for no unknown reason and never giving any type of credit is hating and thats you my friend. You sound offended. I know the success of the school you represent, and no matter what i would never take anything away from that. When we were losing in the first or second round every year prior to 2002 no one said a thing, now with some success, its never no credit.We can do nothing about the Region, So the three non- region games we play we play very good football teams and our record against them is very good. If we were no good then beat us in the play-offs no matter where we play. Good teams find a way to win home or away. Please sir tell me the obivious. Please for me take a look at our non-region and play-off teams we have played no cup cakes there, then look at our record against them. And by the way the teams we’ve played in the play-offs none have been from region 3AAAAA so were have those victories come from. HINT THE OTHER REGIONS.

IF COLQUITT COUNTY PICKS UP THE FIRST DOWN AND SCORES A TD OR EVEN KICKS A FG…..THE GAME WOULD HAVE BEEN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT OUTCOME!!! PERIOD!

Not saying colquitt would have won….BUT i am saying any sane and logical football fan HAS to admit it sure as heck could have been the difference in winning and losing!

Camden
Lowndes
McEachern
Peachtree Ridge
Newnan (but they better be careful)
MLK/Union Grove – Predicition MLK
Grayson
Roswell (Had to think on that one a little).
North Gwinnett
Woodstock
Northside WR
Union Grove/MLk my pick UG
Lassiter
South Gwinnett
Stephenson
Colquit County

Next Round
Lowndes
McEachern
Newnan
Grayson
North Gwinnett
Northside WR
Lassiter/South Gwinnett is a tough one. Take Lassiter with Home Field.
Stephenson/Colquit is a tough one. Take Stephenson with Home Field.

Next Round
Lowndes/McEachern Home field will not matter on this one…Lowndes
Newnan/Grayson whoever wins the coin toss for home field advantage.
North Gwinnett/Northside whoever wins the coin toss for home field.
Lassiter/Stephenson home field will not matter on this one..Stephenson

Championship Game
Lowndes vs. North Gwinnett/Northside will beat Stephenson (Home Field not important.

Champs
Lowndes

Yea I’m a homer, but if I didn’t think they were the best team in the state I wouldn’t pick em.

Besides you will not beat Lowndes in the Dome, so the best chance of gettin em will be before they ever get there.
Newnan/Grayson will have the best chance of taking Lowndes down.
Actually Newnan, because Lowndes owes Grayson.

Everyone agrees that the refs blew it big time, but a grown man in a position of leadership over high school kids is supposed to be able to control himself. Propst has proven on at least two occasions that he can’t (he was ejected in last year’s Northside game in Moultrie). I don’t doubt his coaching ability, but there should be more to it than just football. I don’t think it’s a secret that he also had serious problems in Alabama. I have the utmost respect for the Colquitt team, fans, and the city of Moultrie, but zero respect for Rush Propst.

However; Bradwell Institute has a 6-4 overall record and Jenkins has a 4-6 overall record. Jenkins beat Bradwell Institute in the regular season. Does Jenkins get the number three seed and Bradwell Institute get the number four seed because Jenkins beat Bradwell in the region game, or does Bradwell Institute get the number three seed, and Jenkins get the number four seed because Bradwell has the better overall record?

By the way, have the large groups of Lowndes County Vikings fans (who shamelessly road the Colquitt County bandwagon all week) returned to their rightful place as Viking fans. It was frankly sad to imagine so many Viking fans riding the Packer bandwagon.

Of course, the football game was played at McConnell-Talbert Stadium in Warner Robins. Of course, Colquitt County was a visiting team. Of course, the game concluded the regular season. Like every other visiting team that has rolled through the MAC since early 1996, Colquitt County was defeated.

North Gwinnett’s Coach Spire is a self centered jerk. Here is HIS quote…“I wasn’t here for the first 48 years of the program,” North Gwinnett coach Bob Sphire said. “I don’t want to put a damper on it, but I won a whole lot of regions in 21 years of coaching.” He coached my son there for two years and that was the feeling most of us had then.. After reading that, I am convinced of his arrogance now more than ever.

FootballFan. Well that is the second time you have trashed Coach Sphire. Hopefully you realize that Bob Sphire from Kentucky is different than the previous Coach Mark Spires from Alabama (I believe).

Regardless, Coach Sphire is exactly correct. In 50 years of football North never won a division championship despite having teams that could have done so. North had a monkey on their backs that Bob Sphire removed. His cool confidence is exactly what was needed to make sure the players played their game without losing their heads in tough game situations. I think any P Ridge fan will tell you that P Ridge was “out coached” this week. The fact that Bob Sphire has been there before, building teams, winning divisions, winning State Championships is one of the things that makes the North team so formidable this year.

I am sorry to hear some coach did not take as much notice of your son as you thought he deserved. Meddling moms and egotistical daddies trying to relive their youth is one of the toughest things about coaching. In my experience, every parent believes “the team” would be better if you would just give their kid a better position or more playing time. Unfortunately, coaches cannot just teach kids and win games. They also have to deal overreaching parents and it has driven many coaches to throw in the towel.

From what I can see, Bob Sphire is an excellent judge of talent. He moved several kids from prior positions to places where they could really shine. If it really was your team that turned him loose – thank you. Georgia football is better off with another outstanding coach.

Do not get too down. Collins Hill is not that good. They have had many close games against lesser teams. Roswell will win in the first round.

Im still sick right now…the NG vs PTR game gave me a virus! If you north Atlanta and metro teams think that you are SERIOUSLY gonna contend with the deep south teams,……( I know what it is now)
these are CLONES of your kids playing in our schools……its got to be. This is not the tough Georgia that I know and come to beloved. Our football is better than that! This is not how we play. I refuse to believe that. This must be the twilight zone or something. This cant be right! Have seperating 5AAAAA from 4AAAA make our programs that much weaker? Are we hurting that bad?

Hey Yo, you are right about the ghosts of referees past. I think every team has some questionable calls and downright wrong calls made against them each year.The call made at the Mac against colquitt was definitely wrong. I would like to apologize for some of my posts that may have had the wrong tone, we are talking about high school kids. Good luck to everyone in the playoffs, it is a whole new season!

GO UG! We tried to put the ball into the phenoms (#20) hands last night and he fumbled and dropped a pass where he was wide open. Also he takes it upon his self to change the plays on the last drive while he is playing quaterback. We need to give the ball to #4 and open up the passing game to someone other then #5. Our coaching is a major problem but also the lack of a “team” amotosphere is also a major problem. We had kids bad mouthing the coaches on the bus on the way home in front of the players and coaches. What we need is to get the bad apples out of the grove and play like a team again.

The ghosts and bad referees have definitely moved from Cleveland Field to the Concrete Palace and the Mac. It seems to be almost impossible for visiting teams to win at those locations even when they are evenly matched. Colquitt, sorry about the bad call but unfortunately it happens a lot in HS football. I agree those refs need to be santioned since that was not a blown judgement call that was a failure to follow backup procedures.

UG parent: UG did beat us, no doubt. Yall destroyed us last year, we closed the gap this year. Ill give you that. But yall still got goose egged by MLK while the posters said you had it In the bag. Talkin about size making a diffence in the trenches, MLK players being small and whatnot. I wasn’t at the game, all I can go by is the score. 20-0 is 20-0. We didn’t score an OFF TD on MLK either, I was at that game though and MLK is a good team. They basically shut us down. Just like they did yall.

Thats all roswell is missing is a qb your right he did quite aginst lassiter and I dont think the backup is the answer either hopefully roswell will have another option at qb next year. If they fix that look out because there coaches are doing a great job!

What does everyone think is the best 1st round game in each class? Here are my thoughts:
AAAAA: Newnan-Valdosta
AAAA: Westside-Mt. Zion
AAA: Carrollton-Creekview
AA: Swainsboro-MCA
A: Wilcox County-Treutlen

My good friend Inthatrenches, don’t buy into the 1-AAAAA hype. Lowndes and NSWR are the real deal but the rest of the region are very beatable. Go on ga.prep county and really take a look at the whole region and their non region schedule( a lot AA ,AAA and even some A competition). Valdosta will be a typical number 4 seed and Newnan will take care of them. My early prediction, Newnan 35 Valdosta 14.

Hey plowboy thanks for the warning. After the game ,we’ll have a slam dunk contest in the gym. But seriously we can cover that. We have 2 awesome corners and an All American safety in the backfield. I don’t think Valdosta will throw that much anyway. But if they do, we will be ready.

UG Parent, I am just frustrated. We HAVE GREAT TALENT but we are not playing to potential. Hats off to the defense they did a fantastic job. Let me ask you, do you think #14 is the best kid on our team for QB? I am not saying anything about him personally just is he the best on our team for that spot? Our opening set of plays that we ran were terrible. Ok we have been running the same plays all year, at what point do we say hey this is not working let’s try something else? We need some serious work on our passing and pass blocking game. When I said give the ball to #20 I really meant him and #4. If we are going to run up the gut why not just try some lead blocking. Our special teams looked like they were just trotting down the field. When we punted MLK went all out rushing 6, 7, 8 guys trying to block it. When they punted we were rushing what 3, 4 guys?
Newton County, we miss Mike McDonald but one of the reasons he left is because with the addition of Woodland they would not let him keep his entire staff together. Although the refs made a BAD, BAD, BAD, BAD call on the pass interference play in the end zone which resulted in an MLK TD they called a pretty good game and we would not have won anyway. After we stopped MLK on their opening drive, they stopped us and the bad snap on the punt which gave them the ball at the 20 started things in the wrong direction. Good job MLK and good luck to you guys.

Thomas County Central has a great defense and Jaybo TCCHS has 3 starters on the Offense and 3 on defense. Our QB Eric Dodson suffered an injury Friday against Bainbridge very similiar to Sam Bradfords injury against BYU and Caleb Heard suffered a Hyperextended Elbow Friday against Bainbridge. Both will be ready for this coming up Friday against Alcovy and we are only taken it one game at a time. Good Luck to every team in the playoffs. GO JACKETS!!!!!!

To answer your ? No 14 is not the best option in this system I still do not no why we switched to this offence much more productive last year with less talent are deffence played their guts out we gave mlk ball at 12 yard line for 1st td and 26 for second just think we got another year of this next yr

I have seen some film on Woodstock…they are the real deal. Very, Very, Good “D” LB’s very aggressive. They all go to where the ball is and will gang tackle you if needed. Only have given up around 90 points all year, 37 of those were to a OT lose to McEarchen. They have a great FB and the RB is ranked nationally for all purpose yards. They will both light you up for long runs. Coach OBryan knows how to coach and they will make a long run into the playoffs.

Sanity Rules just remember a few yaers ago Newnan was the # 1 seed and Houston County went up there as a 4 seed from 1AAAAA and beat them by 14. Don’t underestimate region 1AAAAA.

I think Valdosta has a chance to win Friday. Newnan is in weak region and might be suspect. So sound the upset alert!!! So is the head coach for Valdosta gone or is he trying to make them regret letting him go by making a run? Do not think they will beat Grayson but will be good if they play them.

This Friday might be a sweep by 1 AAAAA. Boy, can not wait to see blog light up if that happens. That would mean 4 AAAAA would be all knocked out. Only 3 AAAAA team that wins will be Camden.

South Gwinnett has a chance of making it to Semis but Stephenson’s offense is too good. South’s defense has holes.

Ok, so if Trion beat Darlington last night and made Darlington (5-1), wouldn’t that make Darlington and Bowdon (5-1) tied for region champ or is there some kind of rule?

“To “Hiram” fans, Chamblee is a lot tougher than you might think. They are faster too. You come in this game looking ahead and your season ends Friday Night.”

What’s up with “Hiram” in quotes. We know we are just a second grade team from out in the boonies with no size, slow running backs, and no heart. We are just happy to be in the “dance”. I know we can’t rank with the lowest Dekalb County team according to these blogs, or matter of fact no one else can. Seems only place football is played is 1-AAAAA and 6-AAAA. So come on out to the westside Friday night .. Our House – Our Rules … We BELIEVE

Woodstock upsetting North Gwinnett is making me laugh out loud.They have not seen a
defense this year and will be lucky to make it past the first round.North will play the very good back-up
quarterback the first 2 games resting CJ for NSWR game which will be the first real test.
I think there is good chance we will see Lowndes and North Gwinnett in the state finals this year.
Lowdnes will be tough to beat who ever is playing them.

Hornets 2009 made a great point. Hiram is always the team that isnt going to win. The one that has no chance. The same team who at the begginning of the season you laughed caused they scheduled Harrison. We beat them. We didnt have a chance against Hillgrove. Beat them. No chance against Dalton. Beat them. Won the region championship and are the number 1 seed and now we cant beat Chamblee????…..WE BELIEVE

TJ; you commented “This Friday might be a sweep by 1 AAAAA. Boy, can not wait to see blog light up if that happens. That would mean 4 AAAAA would be all knocked out.”
I say it the other way if Region 4 was to sweep the blog would light up LOL!! Look EC will give Lowndes a better game than you guy’s expect and Chapell Hill is probably playing better now than most of Region 4 teams (except them Cougars) there is alot of respect for region 1 here in the region 4 area but if someone looks ahead they can be caught looking like someone stole his Girlfriend just sayin don’t count those wins yet!!!

Inthetrenches – I promise you Lowndes has a LOT of respect for East Coweta. They have been our nemesis many times in past years in other sports, such as baseball, girls soft ball, etc. Believe me, our football team will NOT overlook them. A very good Warner Robins team beat us up a little, and we had to play 3 quarters without three starters plus another who played on a very sore sprianed ankle. One starting wingback missed the whole game, but will be back this week. He is our leading rusher. We look for Ec to give us a very good game, but we WILL be ready!

Home field I think Lowndes may have the best team in the State and I thought Newnan and Lowndes were going to meet last year for the title but LHS ran into Grayson and we ran into Camden I was just addressing the dominance of region 1 thing… I think that Northside was fortunate to have some shoddy play calling by your offense at the end, that is the reason… I caution Lowndes that the game (if close) can go either way

ImaTitleTownBaby:

I don’t think Newnan will have any trouble with Valdosta or ML King. ML King will be a tougher contest than Valdosta but Newnan is to strong for them.

Stephenson will breeze thru Bradwell and be tested by Colquit.

North Gwinnett/ Woodstock is an exciting potential 2nd round game. one of those two will win that bracket. NSWR has an easy draw until the third round but they lose there.

Lassiter/South Gwinn may be the highest scoring game. If they both advance.

Grayson/Newnan i agree with an earlier post would probably be decided by whoever wins the coin toss for home field.

I don’t see Lowndes having any trouble until the quarter finals.

Lowndes vs Grayson/Newnan

Stephenson vs NG/Woodstock

Inthatrenches – I believe region 1-AAAAA will have three teams to advance to the 2nd round. Beyond that we have to worry about Camden, McEachern, or maybe the Ridge again, before we could face Newnan. Along the way you will have to get by Grayson, MLK, or maybe Roswell.

True, I’ll be pulling for Valdosta this week, heck they’re from my county. Their team is coming around and rallying around their coach, who may be coaching his last game for them. As close as they played Northside, Colquitt, and Warner Robins, I believe they have a chance to pull off the upset. That’s all I said. A chance. I never said they WOULD.

This week all of our supporters will be concentrated on doing everything we can to show the team we believe in’em, love’em. and will be there Friday night cheering for’em.

I will leave all the other games to other posters. Frankly, other than the Valdosta and Lowndes games, I don’t care who wins any of the other games. I just hope there are no more terrible blunders that could affect outcomes of games like the one that occurred at Northside last Friday, and also I hope no player get’s hurt.

Let’s agree this is a fun time! Okay?

DavaoJeff.. Are you serious about Colqiutt beating Stephenson? I know your a HOMER but it’s most certainly you haven’t seen any football up North.. Only in the Siuth. Sorry to say but Stephenson has a very good chance to make it to the Championship game. Yes I seen the Colqiutt play yes they can pass but they haven’t faced a team with overall speed, balance, power like stepheson.. Now I am counting Branswell In. out and that will be a good game for the first half, untill Stephenson imposes there will on them, but until these teams meet, then I will give my opinion.. Anyway I will be cheering for Colqiutt to win because I want to you to make this drive to Stone Mountain DavaoJeff and cheer on Colqiutt, heck I will give you gas money for long trip home after your lose.
Heck why even play in this year Playoffs. It seem as though many of you all have Crowned Camden State Champions Already. I always thought the play is still played inbetween the hashes. I like the chances of Grayson, Camden, Stephenson, North Gwinnett. To me I think it caomes down to these two things..
1 Special Teams & Field position
2. Defense
Whichever Football team controls these two things in the next 5 games will be your State Champions.

TCCHS JACKETS, I’m a little worried now…a cracked clavicle sounds pretty serious!!! Eric Dotson has improved soo much as the season has progressed! He runs “the offense” with precision and has become a good passer as well. I don’t have a lot of confidence in our backup QB…not b/c he lacks ability, but b/c he dont have that many reps behind center. Oh well, lets just hope Eric is a fast healer and that the defense keeps playing lights out like they have all season!!

Go UG. #14 may not be a great option QB but you should no that #5 was asked in both the Stephenson and MLK games to go in at QB and refused to. Our problem is both in coaching and having some players with this “superstar” mentality.

Marietta’s rb #21 may be the best in the region or just behind McCeachern’s Bennet. He is though, about their only real weapon.
Marietta is basically the four seed in region 5 by default . Four teams finished tied for 4th, all but Marietta lost their final game.
A scrappy, but very average team. I have only seen them once, so take it for what it’s worth.

UGParent, one more thing after our loss Saturday the players with the “superstar” mentality might want to learn to get humble. I hope we are not looking past Widsor Forest but the only prayer we have with NSWR is for our players to check all egos at the door and pull together.

Ug parent if that is the case then we got more issues then play callin I can’t believe everyone expects us to be so great look at the line on both sides of the ball sure we got 90 at d-end and that’s it we got a linebacker playin on line who is 5ft 6 inches tall oh yeah everyone talks about daddy ball they need to look further then qb that’s not the biggest problem until we start coachin up o-line we have no chance

Big J. I haven’t heard on #14 yet. Let me say first that the kid I’m going to reference isn’t my kid. If you look at our o-line they haven’t been the same since they started rotating the center position. The kid that started the season there was doing a good job and we were putting up points and then they started rotating there and we haven’t been the same since. Also this we we didn’t start #53 who has been our best o-lineman to date. I don’t know what the coaching staff is doing but they need to fix it ASAP. I agree our superstars don’t block at all for each other. I would like to see #26 get the ball some. I watched him during the JV season and that kid is a baller. Maybe we can show our backs that someone else can carry the rock.
