Ok, so I heard a rumor that the Lassiter, Colquitt County game will be held at Colquitt because Lassiter doesn’t have enough stands or something. I looked and i cant find anything so far. But In the bracket it would have the Trojans at home. So…ya. Does anyone know where it will be played?

I hope every body keeps sleeping on mlk because of the loss to Stephenson.the lions will be heard from in the playoffs. The game against Stephenson Mack brown was not healthy and our # 1 play maker #21 was out for his first game with an inury. That was also homecoming game with a lot of activities going on during the week. The defense is solid and getting better, offense play calling has to improve with some simple adjustments this team really has the potential to go a long way. Defense has only been scored on in two games. Look ouut!

Forget about the regular season, last season or seasons before that, let’s talk playoffs. Whoever want’s it more will make that run to the title. It could be a 1 seed or an 8 seed. Offense and defense, special teams and most of all the “HEART” will take the hardware home. Excuses don’t make champions. The real deal starts on friday. Let’s get out there and support our kid’s. Also tomorrow is veterans day, remember the one’s who are fighting under the flag today as well as in the past. They are part of the reason we can sit on the side lines on friday and saturday nights to watch football and enjoy the other freedoms we enjoy. As a veteran of 24 years in the Navy I have to give a shout out. God Bless America and America Bless God. Good luck to all teams this week. As has been said time and again “There Can Only Be One.”

Trouble at Union Grove??? Two of our top rb’s were kicked off the team this week. Our starting qb gets injured while being tackled in practice last night. Why in the world are hitting our qb in practice!!! #5 is our backup qb and he won’t be playing there either. So it looks like we may be starting a running back at qb? Could we be one and done?

Jaybo…

All I’m saying is NO ONE gave Hiram a chance against Hillgrove and Hiram came from behind to win that game (with a VERY strong Defensive performance ALSO)…then they went to Sprayberry in a game they were predicted to lose and BEAT Sprayberry in ANOTHER come from behind win…

THEN went ON THE ROAD AGAIN to play Dalton for the REGION championship and won yet a 3rd game they were predicted to lose!!! At some point you have to go HMMMMMMMMMM!!!! Maybe they should be where they are….

But there is a LOT of football for both your TCC guys and Hiram before we can really start thinking about who could do what to who…

Hiram has Chamblee coming in friday night…Good Luck to TCC in their game also!!!!

for now it’s gotta be GO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORNETS!!!!!!!

If you shut down the run with Collins Hill and force the throw, Roswell will do well. Keep the Eagles defense on the field, they tire out and eventually will make a mistake and give up big plays. Collins Hill depends on Perkins to keep offense on long drives, keeps their defense fresh.

By: roswellfan

roswellfan — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 12:30:11 +0000

Does anyone know much about Collins Hill. I know that Charles Perkins is very good and is the real deal, but does anyone know anything about the rest of thier team; other offensive players; defensive line and corners; special teams play???

By: roswellfan

roswellfan — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 12:12:38 +0000

Sportsfan 31313, just wanted to give you some insight into the roswell quarterback situation that developed on Satirday night. There was a little bit of a “qb controversy” brewing all season. The backup is a better athlete, more arm stregnth, better pocket presence and can make all the throws required at this level. The starter had little confidence even when the team was on its 9-0 run and the coaches would obviously limit the playbook because he was very limited in ability. His main stregth unfortunately was that his father was one of the “community coaches” and was likely pressuring his son. I realize that this only high school football, but no varsity level athlete ( a senior) quits the team in the 2nd half of a region championship with both teams at 9-0 unless he never had the confidence to play from the start. I believe that the prior qb benefited from an agressive physical roswell defense that did not trail much during the season; once the qb was put in a position of having to perform under pressure he simply quit. The team appears to be rallying behind the backup as he played at least 1 quarter in all games this season anyway. On offense, Roswell has 1 running back with over 1000 yards (Duval Smith) and his backup with about 700 yards (Martez Sumler). Thier best player is actually a wide receiever (Cris Boyd) but thier poor starting qb play rarely allowed the offense to be more than a run-first style. My guess is that the team will play well on Friday vs Collins Hill mainly because they are built to stop the run 1st; the defensive secondary has been very suspect that last few weeks. Roswell is mainly built on defense; solid special teams; run first; then play action pass. The play action pass will likely be more effective this weekend against Collins Hill.

To WildcatFans in South Georgia: Please have Valdosta find a punter before they play Newnan. Maybe the regular punter was on suspension but the guy they used (left footer) in the game with Houston could drop it no further than the 30/35 yard line. He didn’t need to with the wipe out of Houston but in the play-off this will be critical.

Sports Fan31313, if Bradwell doesnt make it to rd 2 and Camden and Lowndes do get to meet in round 2. You are more than welcome to come back to Camden and sit on the home side and cheer for our wildcats!!! The atsmospere was incredible for the hoover game. I cant imagine what it will be for the Lowndes game!! Much respect for Lowndes, hope we can pull it out!!

Valdosta does not get out of the blocks against newnan…..
NS WR barely gets by McEachern and loses to Grayson

VALDOSTA said
Exactly, Grayson snuck out a 10-0 win at home against a team from 1AAAAA that didn’t even make the playoffs. If you say they aren’t that good what does that say about Grayson. If they struggled that much with 1AAAAA’s 5th best team, what would happen if they had to play Lowndes, NSWR, Valdosta or Colquitt?

STRUGGLE? WR only had 70 total yards offense…….WR is scoring on Lowndes and beating NSWR. give me a break. this was meeting two for Grayson and WR and they have yet to score anything!!!

SGTChris the brackets were jacked up from the start the 1AAAAA boys are claiming the correction from a meeting on Sunday the truth is a 1-A fan noticed that his 4th seeded Pelham Hornets were going to meet the 2nd seeded 1A team if they made the quarters?/ in following up with that the correction was sent up the ladder the correction was made and the only the third round was affected no travel issues with those games being 3 weeks out no funny stuff he actually got a worst draw but his teamwill likely be going down to Greenville this friday the explanation is yours 2’s and 3’s meet and your 1’s and 4’s meet if it happens to work that way so look at the old bracket and switch the top around it created an easier path for the left side of the bracket in AAAAA and tougher on the Right I actually would rather meet Northside in the Semi’s than Lowndes/Camden assuming we can win a coin flip with Grayson???

Cannon Rules,

One day you will learn to listen to me!!! I don’t talk unless I know what I’m talking about….You still doubt what my TCC YELLOW JACKETS are putting down!! I understand some lessons are hard to learn!! TCC probably has its best defense in 10 years…some say its our best defense ever!!! Our offense was really the question mark going into the season and of course our youth!! Anyway, trust me when I tell you cannon, Hiram don’t want none of this…we will beat them easily, so I hope we do meet them in the championship!! Hiram will not make it that far thought…mark my words!! I have no confidence in teams coming from that weak paulding co./north ga region!!!

For posters who are in Middle Georgia, what is going on at Houston County High School? How hired this coach there? Is he going to get fired? When I was home (in Warner Robins) this summer, I heard that Northside would be lucky to beat either Houston County or Warner Robins. I heard that Warner Robins was slightly better than HoCo and Northside was behind both of them.

This is the worst HoCo football team since the school opened without a junior or senior class. The Bears have to look to move on with Rick Tomberlin or a higher caliber coach than what they have right now. Does anyone have the scoop? Did winning the City Championship (upsetting our Northside Eagles) save Bryan Way’s job or was he always OK? Come on Big Red posters, tell the truth. If you guys create this love affair with Bryan Way, I know better. I know that failing to reach the playoffs in consecutive seasons at Warner Robins HS is a reason to contact a realtor for any football coach, especially with Robert Davis just playing golf.

What is really going on at Roswell High School? The starting quarterback quits the team on the eve of the State Playoffs starting? That is wild.

GHS#22: You will have an opportunity to see the hype of Region 1-AAAAA up close and person in the playoffs which begin on Friday night. It is this simple, partner. Do not be surprised if the Region makes a major run through the State Playoffs this season. If teams from South of the Gnatline get homefield advantage in the quarterfinals, you guys in metro Atlanta can forget about it.

The youngest teams are at Northside and Camden County. If any team…any team, Grayson included, finds themselves in a game at Wildcats Stadium or McConnell-Talbert Stadium, you are not going to get out of there with your dignity. Someone is going to get hit. Someone is going to stop running hard. Someone is going to see what it is like to play before 15,000 fans united for one cause.

Grayson has NEVER beaten a top tier program outside of Grayson, Georgia. To do all of this chest beating is very interesting. I see Northside in a bracket that only has metropolitan Atlanta programs. With the exception of McEachern, who has one of the top coaches in the state and great athletes, it is smooth sailing for Northside through the State Championship game.

You heard it from me. McEachern High School is the only thing between Northside reaching the State Championship game playing with a starting 24 players of practically all sophomores and juniors. The assumption that McEachern or Grayson would stand a prayer at the MAC is absurd.

Call this “Operation: Reach the Dome With Sophomores” for our young Eagles from Northside! McEachern is the only team on that side capable of competing Northside. If I was at Grayson, I would focus less on Northside and Lowndes County and get my arms around my own bracket. Newnan, Valdosta, and an athletic Martin Luther King pose potential road bumps for Grayson.

Go into Savannah on I-16 and take the Lynes Parkway exit (164)…stay on the parkway until it ends…it then becomes DeRenne Ave…stay on DeRenne until you get to Skidaway Road…Turn right on Skidaway…the stadium will be a short distance down on the right.

DO NOT TAKE THE VETERANS PARKWAY EXIT

By: NHS Eagle Fan

NHS Eagle Fan — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:59:42 +0000

MHS…I don’t know for sure but I’m guessing it is going to be at Memorial Stadium, which is located just off of Skidaway Road, near Montgomery Cross Road.

Have a bad night and any team in the playoffs can ruin your year. I happen to like region 1-AAAAA chances, with the possible exception of Valdosta. I honestly believe Colquitt will run the table in their quarter of the bracket, same with Lowndes. It might come down to Grayson and Northside in their quarter. I’m certainly not stupid enough to predict victory, but I like our chances no matter who we play.

The brackets were changed by the GHSA because they were wrong…simple as that.

I’m reading the hype about region 1 AAAAA and can’t believe it. I think there are a few regions better 1 AAAAA. Warner Robins in my opinion is not a very good team. Grayson has played them on the road as well as at home, and frankly there good team didn’t show up.

Well at least this new playoff bracket kept TCC hanging around a bit longer in the playoff hunt. They WOULD NOT have got past this years Hiram Hornets team as a quarter final match. With the new alignment we could actually see a Hiram / TCC match-up in the finals at the dome!!!

Bad year for our RAIDERS this season but we still have a VERY GOOD Hiram team to root for…So until next year it’s HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORNETS!!!!

By: NHS Eagle Fan

NHS Eagle Fan — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:58:01 +0000

GHS…we’re not talking about years past. Grayson beat Warner Robins 10-0 playing at home this year. Warner Robins has a great team, but didn’t even make the playoffs from 1-AAAAA. Grayson might beat anyone in our region playoff teams, but they will know they’ve been in a war. So, if I were you, I would wait awhile before being fitted for that state crown.

To say 1AAAAA is top heavy is a crazy statement. Yes, Lowndes and Northside are very good and have been for several years. BUT I would have to say they have the best team not to mak ehte playoffs in the state, Warner Robins!! Colquitt and Valdosta will not get beat by more than 14 by anybody in the state with the exception for Lowndes!! There is noway 4AAAAA sweeps 1AAAAA. One win max by Newnan, maybe. Yes Tift County got crushed last year but I doubt that happens again. Don’t look at the fact that a few teams in 1AAAAA have to play A and AA teams early in the year. That is who will play them and that is the size of the teams that are close to them. You do realize that 1AAAAA goes from Warner Robins all the way to Valdosta because of a lack of schools in that classification in South GA.

Will someone with knowledge of the situation please explain why the GSHA changed the brackets??? This has conspiracy written all over it!!! The article in the ajc said that they caught a previous bracket error…its strange that they didnt catch the error until after all the teams have been seeded!!! Is the GSHA guilty of trying to control or influence a particular outcome??? The public should be in a uproar about this because this just doesnt look right!! Somebody please help your JayBo out with a little info on this!!!

As a NG fan im a little upset about the new brackets but theres nothing you can do about it. we will prolly rest uzomah for the first game and he will play the first half of the 2nd game. after that our defense stuffs woodstock for the remainder of the game. And At least we got lowndes at home.

Kwan Bynum, what are you talking about. Griffin has a tough road to the dome. You talk about not being able to get past the first rounf without a easy draw, but then you have us in the dome. Come on, I think anytime you have a good Marist, Sandy Creek and TCC teams all on the same side, that when you make it to the dome you have earmed it. Trust me when we get to the dome and I truly believe that we will, we will have earned our way!!

By: HoyaFan

“Hopefully, BIG changes will occur at Harrison!!”

Perhaps the biggest change will be a larger senior class. Did you notice how few football players were seniors on senior night! The coaching may be suspect, but they did well last year, and the senior talent was obviously lacking. Only one outstanding senior IMO.

Just when I think GHSA is legit without showing favors for some schools, once again they prove me. It seems strnage that they realinged the brackets so that Griffin and South West Dekalb are not in the same bracket which moved Marist into the line where South West Dekalb was. Now we have Tucker, and Marist in line to play Griffin. HMMMMMMMMMMM.
I think the GHSA has purposed that Griffin and South West Dekalb is a Georgia Dome big Money Maker. All week-end I couldn’t get thought of the changing the brackets out of my mind, now I know why.
It a shame when kids work hard to play sports and are dedicated, only to have Money and those who never get enough of it, go in and purposely arrange things for themselves.
I said before that South West Dekalb and Griffin would only get past the first round if GHSA scheduled them against the lowest rating teams, and if you look close, we have a lot of No. 2 and No.3 teams playing each other, as well as No.1 playingh No.2, but then take a close look at South West Dekalb and Griffin, two teams No.1 in their regions and guess who they are playing.
I hope one day the sport of High School Football get’s better leadership as far as decision making.
I’m so disgusted, that the play-offs are absolutely of no concern to me in the 4AAAA devision.
I wonder has certain referee’s been selected for South West Dekalb and Griffin games to make sure they win.

It will be a cake for Union Grove. Let me tell you, the ONLY reason why Windsor Forest beat us is because of those significant injuries. No doubt about it.

HomeFieldAdvantage,

Than you very much for the invitation, and again, you are a class act.

Greetings HomeFieldAdvantage,

What a very nice invitation, and this is the second time you have given me such a great offer. I very much would love to accept your offer, and attend but unfortunately the family is not hearing that. I can’t even part my lips and say that we are going to Valdosta to see Lowndes County play a school that be hammered by Lowndes County when we have our own team to support in the “A” “T” “L” area. I will never hear the end of that. So unfortuately i will be traveling to Stone Mountain and pull for Bradwell Institute. They will need all of the Fan support that they can get.

What I will say and I want Stephenson Fans to know is that while some of the Stephenson Fans are saying and thinking that Stephenson will just “BREEZE THROUGH” Bradwell Insttute in this first round had better think again. While I know that Bradwell Insitute may not win this game for obvious reasons that I have been mentioning weeks ago, I would not go as far as to say that it will be a “BREEZE THROUGH”.

You may want to know, no matter how bad Bradwell Insitute have played against some of these South Georgia teams, Bradwell Institute have never been a push over on a North Georgia or a Breeze Through to a North Georgia team. Although Bradwell Institute players are injured, and they are a very young team, I will say that they will come, and play with their hearts. While I do respect, and I know how good Stephenson have been over the years, and this year, I’m sure that Stephenson will not just breeze through Bradwell Institute. You can tell that to “grayram”, and the fans of Stephenson.

Grayson student its obvious by your comment that you never played is that what you tell your team if they should lose don’t worry about it its just a game go tell those college recruiters in stands sat night its just a game that’s why you didn’t see some of the kids go all out

Well I will be the first to tell you are o-line coach needs some work I tell you are biggest problem with play calling is are coach doesn’t where a headset during game so no adjustments when I talk about poor o-line iam talkin about scheme not knockin the kids that are out there why the best 5 aren’t out there couldn’t tell you let me ask you this wasn’t are offence much more productive last year with less talent or am I dreamin I don’t get the change as far as booster club bein broke we all no if they wanted to get bus we could get money up not a problem

settle down. It is a high school football GAME. note the obvious emphasis on GAME

I agree. Union Grove special teams is suspect. We can blame #14 all we want, but if he has no o-line to block, he can only do so much. Our play calling still is more predictable than a Jerry Springer show. It’s almost like the plays are scripted, and there is no improvisation or thinking anywhere. I heard that players were yelling at the coach after the game. We need to be together as a team. This Friday’s game is not a guaranteed win, at least not with the way we have been playing. I hope we can pull together and win, but for now I am not holding my breath.

big j, I am with you, I for one would support setting an example with these kids even if it means we lose to Windsor Forest. I watched #5 when Newton County kicked off to him; he DID NOT RUN but rather ducked and tried to go out of bounds. I am quite sure the coaching staff has this on film. Did you notice our special teams’ poor performance Saturday?
UGParent I was getting frustrated with the coaching staff BUT I have been seeing things for myself, now my opinion is changing. I want to win but these kids need to learn some life lessons.

By: UG Parent

UG Parent — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:56:40 +0000

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.

CCS finally posted the Marist SWD game on television last night. I was kinda surprise at Godfrey’s comment at half time about penalties when all the penalties called were so apparent. I was also amazed that Chadwick did not go crazy over the numersous face maks that were missed. PLAYERS helmets just do not come off after every play. However, SWD played a good game, but I would like to see it on a dry field.

Its funny I sat around some parents at game sat and I can see where some of the kids get it from. How is 14 hand I no he took abeatin sat nt if you watch when are so called superstars don’t get the ball they don’t block you put that with are poor o-line I don’t care who’s back there. I say its time for heart to heart you in or your out I don’t care who it is if your not commited then don’t get on the bus this week that goes for everyone players ,coaches,parents !!!

Maybe Mr. QT can pay for it since his son gets playing time and he hasn’t blocked a soul all year.

Go UG. I think we are on the same page. I was told this by several starters on offense about #5. Since he has gotten a few offers his attitude has went south. We need our boys to pull together this week but I have a bad feeling about it. We have way too many great kids on this team to be pulled down by a few.

By: big j

big j — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:19:10 +0000

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

By: graysonstudent2012

graysonstudent2012 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:11:11 +0000

Pops,
Thanks, I think we can handle a running attack. We will be in HUGE trouble against a team that runs the spread well. Our secondary just can’t quite stay with big or fast receivers.

By: GO UG!

GO UG! — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:08:25 +0000

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.

By: GO UG!

GO UG! — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:01:49 +0000

UGParent, I did wonder if #5 or his Dad did not want him in at QB so they would not risk injury before his baseball contract. One thing that is not fair to the Coaches is that fans are not privileged to all the information that might change our opinions. If a player refused to go where I told him, I would show him the bench I don’t care how good he might be. The Coaching staff MUST HAVE CONTROL AND DISIPLINE ON THE FIELD!!!!

Pops — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:46:50 +0000

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.

By: graysonstudent2012

graysonstudent2012 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:31:47 +0000

How is Marietta? are they better at running or will they attempt an aerial assault?

By: UG Parent

UG Parent — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:16:50 +0000

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.

A lot of second round, quarter finals and finals talk and we have not played the first game. Someone will be upset that you do not expect! Lassiter and Woodstock were both four seeds last year…

I never said Hiram would lose to Chamblee, I said that they are tougher than their record indicates and faster than you might think and that if you are looking past them your season will end as quickly as Hillgroves did.

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!!

inthatrenches says “I caution Lowndes that the game (if close) can go either way”. It won’t be….close that is.

May be easiest game Lowndes has played this year, including Woodland. I did say “may be”.

Yes I do have some respect for Newnan, but very little for the rest of the region.

But wow Newnan, how did East Coweta get 26 points on that “never gives up any points defense of Newnan”?

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.
