- Mays has played in Athens before, a 37-29 loss to Cedar Shoals in the first round of 2002.
- Leroy Ryals is the first Clarke Central coach since Billy Henderson in 1990-92 to lead his team to three straight seasons of at least seven wins.
- Clarke Central has lost six straight first-round playoff games starting in 2003.

Those 7-AAAA school’s don’t have a very good history against good football team. Which is all we have to go off. I guess you and ‘Hornets 2009′ are saying this is going to be their breakout year……we shall see.

The top 3 teams in 6-AAAA have all played quality team’s for the one out of region game each had. SWD(MLK), Tucker(Brunswick), Marist(St. Pius). Who have the top team’s in region 7-AAAA played out of region? we are on the field tested. Just the fact’s!!!!!!!!!

SWD Panter Paw, it’s kinda hard to speak on the history of other 7-AAAA teams. I do believe that this will be Hiram’s year to go a little deeper in the playoffs. I know they are capable of beating Chamblee and from what I have been told could matchup well against Tucker if we had lost the region championship.

I predict yo Hiram Hornets to be the only team with a victory over a 6AAAA team with a victory over Chamblee.. but come on.. we both know that if you guys were facing anybody else (SWD, Marist, Tucker), you would be sitting at home during the second round

Looking at the past playoff history on the ajc website (correct me if im wrong), but you guys havent been to the playoffs period in a couple of years. It says the last time you guys went, u got shut out in the first round by coffee, so ur definition of going deep in the plaoyffs could mean actually getting out of the 1st round.. but feel free to correct me if im wrong

Southwest Dekalb will finally meet their match when they play Griffin. Griffin is going silence a lot of Dekalb County fans in AAAA.

So true Mhs. But Hiram is only 10 yrs old. and has a redistricting during this time for a new high school in the county. No this county does not have a rich tradition in the playoff (Paulding and East Paulding only wining games) but sometimes things do change. I agree that Hiram should take Chamblee. But this point of the season any team can beat any team on any Friday night with the right calls, fumbles, intersections. SWD is good and pick them to go very far in the playoffs. Said that all year. I hope we get to play SWD on 12/4 to see how we rank against a state powerhouse. Marist is the usual Marist but maybe not the Marist of last year. This is a down year for Tucker that 90% of the other teams in the state would die for. I just want to see some good Friday night football that no other state can lay claim to. But I do think however survives the right side of the brackets might be the best of the state. Right side is strong.

yea i noticed that about the brackets.. the right side is loaded and whoever comes out of that alive deserves to be the state champs

To “Sports Fan 31313″ Griffin has to get past Marist first, and let me tell you Marist has already showed they can play with Griffin in preseason and I know you will say Griffin is a lot better but so is Marist. Dont let that SWD victory over Marist fool you. Marist would love the opportunity to play Griffin again.

rwdekalbfan do you really think that a preseason game means one thing in the outlook of a season, please. As far as Marist wanting an opportunity to Griffin again, we’ll be waiting and say bring it on down to the Bears den, but remember Marist has to get that far first as well as Griffin. But if it does happen we will be more than glad to take them on in a real game. Nough said.

Griffin all the way. Too much speed and quickness for the teams facing the Bears this year in the playoffs. I went to the SWD this past Friday. Was not impressed with SWD at all. Actually..they should have lost. Stone Mountain blew the game when they allowed their senior players to participate in the waste of a half-time event. SM players came back into the game with no life and energy..and that was pretty much all she wrote. SWD played real sloppy throughout the 1st half. I was very surprised by the fans of SWD. The fans for SWD seemed to only support and cheer for the team only when they were winning (fair weather fans)…which I find pretty interesting..you could hear a pin drop during most of the 1st half…that’s not good for a team like SWD. SWD’s defense played tough. I must say, they do hit pretty hard. I will say this..if Griffin and SWD makes it to the Dome..It’s Griffin by 12…remember Speed kills…and Griffin has plenty.

Well Starrs Mill has been playing great ball lately. They are clicking on all cylinders. They just beat Villa Rica 41-6 and they scored with 1 second left on the clock. Apalachee plays a bunch of scrubs. They don’t play good football in that region just take a look of the types of teams they play. Pretty weak. I hope Apalachee dosent think they are on top of the world because come Friday they are going to get a taste of what real football is….
Region 6AAAA

WOW there are two of us. Know that Region 6AAAAfan is NOT Region 6AAAA. Although I agree with his views, he is not I. I feel like our Region is the best. I think so high of our Region that my pick for the Finals are SWD and Marist. Looking at the bracket and thinking about the Marist/Griffin scrimmage I think the War Eagles can take that side of the Bracket. SWD should be able to roll in the playoffs with their experienced team and excellent coaching. I just hope other regions enjoy their runs because they stop when they meet those two teams.

Your little scouting report very deceptive. I was at the game also. SWD had nothing to play for with Stone Mountain other than not wanting anyone to get hurt in a game that meant absolutely nothing. Win or lose our region position would still be the same. We are very knowledgeable fans what you saw was basically a practice. Half the starter’s didn’t play in the game…… I’m sorry you didn’t get a chance to see Ken Malcome play. Any person with some football knowledge could see that. Your opinion about SWD’s football team and fan’s will change once you see us in the dome, but if you need that to give you some confidence…..take it. Hope you guy’s make it there. Oh! yeah………. we still won the game 27-14

I don’t know what fans you observed at the SWD vs. Stone Mountain game. I have been to EVERY game this season and I must say that SWD’d fans are very supportive, loud, and will defend every play good or bad. Also, as I recall the first half of the game was slow for SWD but we should have lost? That makes me laugh!
SouthWest Dekalb Supporters remember: Haters are confused admirers who can’t understand why everybody likes you.

u shouldve known that SWD wouldnt put their best players in a game that really meant nothing at all to them.. win or lose they would still be the number one seed…they still won the game… i’ve never seen griffin play before but from wat i hear, they are pretty good.. i will reserve my judgement if u guys play each other

To all Panther lovers…..the SWD vs NW Whitfield game will be played at Panthersville stadium. Why not Hallford you ask? Well, because Stephenson, MLK and SWD all have home games this week I heard they flipped a coin to determine who would play where. Stephenson got Hallford on Friday……SWD got Panthesrville on Friday night and MLK got Hallford on Saturday. I guess that’s what happens when you have 3 top team’s from one county…..good problem to have.
GAME OVER 4 YOU..

Marcus,
The Griffin fans, myself included, have probably been the most quiet on here out of any of the top teams. You’re the one that’s been on here screaming about praying to play the Bears. You started the trash-talking by calling us the “gummi Bears”, saying we play in a weak region, when truth is, we don’t. Our 5th place team, Dutchtown, finished 7-3 and still missed the playoffs. We have 2 teams in the top-6. SO don’t sit behind your keyboard and say we are in a weak region, b/c nothing is further from the truth.
I don’t know what you have against the Bears, maybe you’re still upset that we beat you guys in the quarters last yr, I don’t know. But you and your fellow SWD fans keep talking the way you are, us Griffin fans are gonna continue to lay low on these blogs and let the team do the talking. YOu know, the team w/arguably the best defensive front in the entire state.But yet according to you, they are soft as Gummi Bears. Guess you’ll just have to see it up close. It’ll make it that much sweeter when we meet in the Dome and we win again, hopefully.
Oh yeah, don’t speak in all caps. It makes it appear that you’re screaming.

Oh yeah, Marcus, Griffin has 4 state titles, 1937,1938, 1947, and 1978. As well as 11 region titles, a 39-30-1 playoff record, and 17 players in the NFL at one time or another. SO don’t go on here squawking that we have no tradition.

Hey Matt-GHS 1999! don’t be concerned about Marcus. He’s just a “kitty-kat” wannabe that thinks typing in ALL CAPS will help him get heard more.. Poor thing. Most of the other SWD fans on here are actually quit nice and respect Griffin’s hard earned accomplishments thus far. We have to face it, SWD is a Great team this year, and they have earned every bit of it on the field, and I do think most of their players have kept up their school work and stayed out of trouble, so kudos for that as well. Being the REALIST I am, It will be a mighty feat for the Bears to get to the championship. I am hoping for the best mind you, however, we have a tough “row to hoe” if you understand. Same goes for SWD, of course, they have a tough Bracket also. At any rate, we will call our D the Gummi-Bear defense, cause once you get a taste, they will sho-nuff stick to you!!
GO BEARS

Hey “Bear Backer” is that quarterback for Griffin a senior. He seems to be what really makes the offense click.
