- Mays has never won a playoff game on the road (0-4).
- 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.

- Bainbridge coach Ed Pilcher, formerly of Thomas County Central and Early County, has made the playoffs each season since 1988.
- Bainbridge has reached the playoffs each season since 2002. That’s tied for the fifth-longest streak in AAAA.
- Bainbridge is 4-12 on the road in playoff games since its 1982 state championship.
- North Clayton’s first-round victory last year over Richmond Academy was its first state-playoff victory since 1997.

Looking foward to Sandy Creek’s Rajion Neal going head up with Loganville’s Storm Johnson. We should see maybe what will come in the future Storm going to the Canes and Rajion maybe to Fla State.

Lets go Raiders!!! I really wish our bracket would’ve changed because im really not looking forward to facing SWD if we beat Clarke Central…. But if anybody knows the other road game we lost (35-7 Habersham Central 2007, East Paulding 21-3 2008, Clarke Central 2002..) We always win the frist round because we are always at home. we beat NW Whitfield and Cedar Shoals in consecutive years at Lakewood though

Issuing an incorrect playoff bracket maybe helps to explain why the GHSA will not play neutral fields throughout the playoffs. They’re not smart enough to figure out how to implement a simple neutral field playoff format! Come’on folks, Georgia is not that large of a state.

Why should there be neutral fields throughout the playoffs. That just sounds dumb to me. I think it makes sense to reward the teams who performed the best during the regular season with home games.

Be warned about the schools from 7AAAA, Hiram, Dalton, Sprayberry, and NW Whitfield. It was a tuff region this season. The kids from Hiram have been as lucky as they are good.

I think lakeside-Evans is the true sleeper. 6 shutouts on the year, including 17-0 over 8-2 Evans. They allowed the least amount of points in AAAA this year.

Did a little research, The Dalton Catamounts have actually played a decent schedule…they lost to a AA team 31-28 in the Calhoun Yellow Jackets that went 10-0 (5-0) in their respective region…beat the Sprayberry Yellow Jackets (7B-AAAA) 27-21….lost to the Sequoyah Chiefs (7A-AAAA) 38-16…beat the NW Whitfield Bruins (7A-AAAA) 35-11…lost to the Hiram Hornets (7B-AAAA) 17-14…the Catamounts have a good overall record of 55-45 against their opponents

Sandy Creek is in region 5AAAA and yea it is a pretty weak region, especially on the A side…. they own that side of the region. there is no one else to play them on that side… On the B side Its always the same three: Banneker, Mays, and Villa Rica.. but I gota admit that we aren’t all that. Mays(8-2) slaughtered Villa Rica(5-5), who creamed Banneker (7-3), who humiliated Mays.. there is really not one team that everyone knows is going to win the subregion.. Last year it was Villa Rica, and this year Banneker, who both got demolished my Sandy Creek

might want to look at the film or contact Sandy Creek… Banneker did not get demolished by them… It was 7-3 at halftime and there head coach had a minor heart attack at halftime in which he had to be rushed to the hospital. Thank God he is doing great now. and they held Sandy Creek to there lowest point total and the lowest yardage output all year… Also held rajon neal to 83 yds rushing 31 of those yards came on one carry. it was not a complete domination. please do research before you post things on these blogs…

Everybody is talking how weak region 5 is,but no one has given Creek credit for the season they have had. Te lost to East Coweta should never happened we got out coached.Coweta is a good AAAAA team that played Newnan well until a mental let down in the 4th quarter. Banneker beat Westlake that is a solid team that is also in the same region as Newnan.The other teams have played outside the region and played very competitive.Creek will go deep in the playoffs and have a really good shot at state if we have smart coaching down the stretch.

I’m too stupid and lazy to do a whole lot of research on the matter but here’s what little I’m not too lazy to do…..
Griffin offensively averaged a little better than 37 points per game (high of 51, low of 26) over the regular season while defensively it surrendered an average of 4.8 per contest including 4 shutouts (most ponts given up in any one game: 14, that to #9 North Clayton). Against the 3 teams the Bears faced that reached the AAAA plyoffs—N. Clayton, Mt. Zion-Jonesboro and Alcovy—Griffin won those games by a aggregate total of 93-24.

Be warned about the schools from 7AAAA, Hiram, Dalton, Sprayberry, and NW Whitfield. It was a tuff region this season. The kids from Hiram have been as lucky as they are good.
This is a tough region even though some people do not think so. 4 teams ranked in Top 10 at various times. And one didn’t make the playoffs that could have went deep in the playoffs. Yes Hiram has had what some people call “luck”, I guess they mean our defense making the big plays when it was crutial, getting turnovers and capitalizing. That is just football, good football to be more precise. But this team has heart to go along with 75 teamates that BELIEVE in one family. Just a bunch of solid kids with each week a different player rising to be the star. Just watch them. How many times do you see a back breaking the long one and the first person he looks for to give the credit is the linmean that sprung him. That is what makes this team dangerous to non believers.
All 7-AAAA teams need to take our moto … SHH .. We’re here. and take care of business this week. I’m going out on a limb .. Region 7AAAA 3 – Region 6AAAA 1

I agree with BHS Alum, our region is constanly underestimated. We have some of the best team, and atheletes in the state of Georgia, but year in and year out you always hear of teams like Grayson, NSWR,etc.. What about the AAAA teams like SWD, Mays, North Clayton, Marist, Tucker, Griffin, Sandy Creek, even Banneker. AAAA has many strong teams, where is our recognition?

I’ve havnt seen region 8 play this year. The last time we played somebody from that region, it was a blow out (they dont put the score on ajc, but it was 40-13 i think), i remember that game. But we will jus have to take care of business in the first round and let Sandy Creek and Banneker and Starrs Mill take over, because due to our coaching situation, we aren’t going to get pass SWD in the second round.. i wish i could say otherwise but I, just speaking the truth

I hope all of your confidence shines thru because Mays has actually played in 6AAAA… that has got to be the toughest region to play in, in any sport. we played against the then “Big 3″: Marist, Tucker, and St.Pius… I cant speak on SWD cuz we never played them.. the only reason these teams lose is because they play themselves. SWD lost to a good MLK team by 4 points. Im sure u would lose by alot more. Marist lost to St.Pius, which used to be a 6AAAA school..and Tucker lost to two 6AAAA teams.. i predict them to go 3-1 against your region.

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

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.

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….

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!

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.

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.
Matt-GHS 1999
November 12th, 2009

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!!

Listen i know you’re supposed to throw out records, stats, and traditions whenever the playoffs start, but it’s clear that when the playoffs roll around each and every year, the teams that play a tough non-region schedule along with a tough region schedule tend to, 90% of the time win their 1st and 2nd round games…you definitely can’t figure in injuries, penalties, and suspect play calling by the coaching staff, but it is what it is…i see SWD putting a hurting on a middle of the road NW Whitfield team, Sprayberry could give the Marist War Eagles a game if they stay disciplined, i believe Tucker’s speed and athleticism will eventually wear down the Catamounts from Dalton, the Bulldogs of Chamblee have found a little groove the last few weeks of the regular season, but i don’t think they have enough weapons to derail a Hiram Hornets team that’s fast and well coached.

I agree with your assessment that Region 6 is the toughest in the state in AAAA. I also think that there will to blowouts, SWD and Hiram both winning big. But the other two games are a little trickier to call. My picks are Marist over Sprayberry in a close one, and Dalton over Tucker in a nailbiter. The key to beating Dalton is to key on the side that the TE lines up on, Dalton ran to the strong side every play last week against Hiram.

RWdekalbfan,
Yes, Griffin’s QB, Marcus Waller, is a senior. He is the straw the stirs the drink for the Bears offense. His back-up, Tyler Hamm, has played surprisingly well when he’s gotten the opportunity too.
Griffin should breeze tonight and next week but a potential match-up with Marist in the 3rd round is a real concern. That’s one very disciplined team and could give us fits.
There are teams out there, in our bracket and beyond, that are capable of ousting the Bears but the flip side of the coin is that there’s no one in AAAA we can’t beat.

Banneker… I cant really say the same for you but still.. good job..congrats to Clarke Central and Apalachee. and a special shout out to the Hiram Hornets! it was close but u guys pulled it out. But the good news is that I was right with my predictions. Region 6:3 Region 7:1

If clarke central gets within 14 points of SWD in a lost, then i will believe they have a good team. Same for Apalachee.. if they somehow manage to get past marist then i will start to believe in them. Rockdale is the only team from the region that actually proved something to me.

Never will I take away from the talent that Marist has, they are a fab team! But the point that I am making is that there is also a lot of talent at the CHEE, we are so very proud to be 11-0! We have amazing players and coaches!! Did you watch our game from last Friday nite or just see the highlights? Our own mistakes was our downfall. We know this and will learn from them. At the end of next Friday night we will still be a very proud CHEE, win or lose. We are proud to be in the 2nd round of state high school football playoff’s for the FY10 year!
