Since Valdosta/Newnan seems to be the AAAAA playoff game of the week of most interest I thought you might enjoy reading Valdosta coach Tomberlins remarks on last weeks game…and upcoming Newnan.

Sports Fan 31313 Predictions:

Northwest Whitfield vs. Southwest DeKalb Northwest Whtifield are not man enough to beat SWD
Take South West Dekalb surely.

Collins Hill vs. Roswell I’m going with Roswell.

Brookwood vs. McEachern Take McEachern on a comeback year.

Valdosta vs. Newnan Very tough call on this one. Newnan is a great football
team. However; Valdosta is out of Region 1-AAAAA
and we all know how that Region is. It could go either
way. Lets give Newnan the benefit of the doubt
because they are at home. Take Newnan is a very
tough but close game.

Kell vs. Peachtree Ridge Take the “RIDGE” ! Peachtree Ridge Enough Said.

Centennial vs. North Gwinnett Take North Gwinette

North Forsyth vs. Lassiter Take Lassiter

Bradwell Institute vs. Stephenson Bradwell Institute, a team that are a constant in the
post season playoffs. Bradwell is a very young team
plagued with injuries. However; as under dogs,
Bradwell Institute has been known to upset great
Teams. But Bradwell Institute is on the road.
Stephenson is a Great Football team who have
dominated their Region for years. Stephenson is
at home. Take Stephenson.

Colquitt County vs. Westlake Take Colquitt County

Franklin County vs. St. Pius Take St Pius X

Pepperell vs. Buford Take Buford

Social Circle vs. Holy Innocents’ Take Holy Innocents’

Sportsfan, where are they posted at the new classifications

Northside Observer

November 12th, 2009
4:37 pm

I am sure by now some have read the tentative classification of teams by the GHSA based on student population. Some surprises:

SportsFan 31313, I did not know Bradwells enrollment fell in the AAAA range at 1848. Perhaps that is new number because I thought you had AAAAA enrollment. You may be the guys saving the Savannah Schools from having to play at the AAA level. You will be in a great regions with the likes of Statesboro, Brunswich, Ware Cty etc. if the ones in power play where BI is classfied. What do you think? Valdosta is in the 1750 range but will probably play up to help 1AAAAA region. She will be at a dis-advantage with Lowndes unless some adjustments are made to their school zone or build a third public HS in the county. Maybe it was yo or HomeFieldAdvantage that told me that the county and city had separate school systems. Wow!

Jaybo: A rumor came about that Thomas County may move up to 1AAAAA but
when I saw your numbers 1500 plus I knew that would be suicidal. Besides you are looking to win it all next year-lol. Nothing will be settled before December but schools must notify the GHSA by 25 Nov. 2009 where they will opt to play up.

Boy, I am going to miss 1AAAAA! As long as we keep building medium range schools in Houston County we will probably stay in AAAA or below.

Wow just looked at the tenative AAAA classifications for the next 4 yrs. If all stays the same I think the 10 best teams in AAAA would beat the 10 best teams in AAAAA. AAAAA would lose Stephenson, Northside Warner Robbins, Warner Robbins, and Valdosta.

HomeFieldAdvantage

7:37 pm

Northside Observer – Valdosta has 1859 students and probably will play “UP”. Besides, they could pick up 31 students before next school year anyway and be a “Normal” AAAAA school. I wish Northside and WR would also choose to “Play up.”

Ware County and Statesboro apparently are going to be AAA schools according to today’s report. Don’t know what that will do to Bradwell Institute.

Why are there only 52 AAAAA schools hen there are 89 AAAA, and 88 in AAA and AA? Why the disparity? Brings up another question. Should 32 AAAAA schools out of 52 continue to make the playoffs? I’m sure the academic folks will may hay with that! And for good reason. In this year’s AAAAA playoffs, we have 23 AAAAA teams, 8 AAAA teams, and one AAA team. Doesn’t make good sense to me to keep the same playoff system.

LMAN

I hope Valdosta, Northside, and Warner Robins choose to play up. If they leave, then 1-AAAAA will be somewhat boring. It was really exciting watching 1-AAAAA 2009.

Dr Goober, YO, and all Lowndes fans. Have you heard the latest on Tyler Hunter? I don’t think he’ll be able to play anymore football. BTW to anyone who is interested. In our game with Peachtree Ridge this year, Tyler Hunter ran the opening Kickoff back for a td. After we kicked off, and about Peachtree’s 3rd play, Tyler Hunter picked off a pass and scored again. After we kicked off again, on Peachtree Ridge’s 2nd play he stripped the ball carrier of the ball, and Lowndes quickly scored again. Tyler is the son of Brice Hunter, who starred at Valdosta High, UGA, and Tampa Bay. Tyler is a Junior Def Back for Lowndes, and part time wingback. Even played some QB last year. Reportedly he has a congenital problem with his spine which accounts for why he has had two shoulder “stingers” this year. Specialists in Tallahassee advised him to give up football or he could risk paralysis, I’ve been told. I’m sure an official announcement will soon be made. Please everyone keep Tyler Hunter, Number 15, in your prayers!

OK everyone listen up out there! What in the heck is going on with the “doom and despair” articles on Mceachern?? Yesterday I read the tear jerker about Desmond Vallean surviving the Oklahoma Bombing and then in tomorrow’s paper there is a “must read” article about the Coach having Lou Gehrigs disease, another heart breaking story to read. Seriously, why now?? I am just wondering why these are printed in round one in the playoffs whether they play us or would have played Parkview. We have a game to focus on!!! Input please!!! Sounds like physiological warfare to me!

BROOKWOOD MOM: I think the coach is at Greenville, a Class A school.
It’s a shame about Tyler Hunter. Does he have stenosis, which is a narrowing of the spinal column?
If so, then that was the same thing that caused Cooper Manning, Peyton & Eli’s brother, to give up football at Ole Miss.
Upset Predictions: Brookwood over McEachern & Collins Hill over Roswell.
Region 1-AA to get a clean sweep, but Region 1-AAAAA will not (3-1). Newnan over Valdosta.

SouthGARules; Oh OK, are you sure? The article looked like it was talking about the McEachern Coach. The article did not name the coach, but it talking about the McEachern player as well. What class A team is 10-0?. I don’t know the story about Tyler I am just reading the blogs. It is so sad if that kid can never play again.

SouthGaRules – We’ll all know more about Tyler in the next few days. It sounds like what you described. He is seeing a specialist in Tallahassee, after an MRI in Valdosta.

Please everyone keep him in your prayers. Hopefully with help from the Head Referee Upstairs, he will get a good report when all the tests are done. But he told some class mates he won’t play this week, and one of their moms put his remarks on another sports blog this evening. With privacy laws being what they are, no one outside his family can really say what’s going on. So far everything has been hearsay and third person comments. I for one am keeping my fingers crossed and doing some praying.

What would really be neat is for you guys to play Valdosta in the semis, and us play Colquitt. Now that would be worth remembering!

Jaybo – I think Northside and Warner Robins both would play up if it was left up to them. But the School Board in Perry Ga will make that decison based on travel cost comparisons for all the Houston County teams, for all sports. Trust me, I was on the School Board for 8 years, I know how those people think. Playing in one region as opposed to another, when you consider all the sports schools participate in, can be a significant cost difference.

Wow did you see those reclassifications. IF it stays the same then region 6AAAA would be the strongest in GA HANDS DOWN. You got Southwest Dekalb, Tucker, Marist, Chamblee, and Stone Moutain. Then you add Stephenson, Union Grove, and possibly MLK. WOW. What a season that would be. Impossible for all those teams to make it out undefeated with the exception of possibly Stephenson. Hope it is this way.

EagleNationRising

November 12th, 2009
11:17 pm

Jaybo, you did not ask me to answer this question. However, the answer rests with Head Football Coach and Athletics Director Conrad Nix. Nix has made it clear that he has no intention to play up. For me, I absolutely agree with that assessment. A school has more GHSA activities than only football. Furthermore, it makes no logical sense to put your extra-curriculur activities and sports at a competitive disadvantage.

Some of the best examples include today’s Region 3-AAAAA. Savannah area schools are some of the best boys’ basketball programs in the state, especially Savannah and Beach. However, their other teams are simply drilled. It makes me wonder why all programs have to practically get embarassed for the sake of about 12 boys playing basketball. It just does not make logical sense.

I am happy that Coach Nix and administrators at Northside take the hundreds of other children who participate in GHSA programs and sports into consideration beyond one sport (football).

EagleNationRising

November 12th, 2009
11:25 pm

Jaybo, Northside also has big games without playing AAAAA football. We do not need Region 1-AAAAA to deliver big home game gates at Northside. Northside vs. Warner Robins is always the biggest gate of the season. Northside also plays Houston County, no matter what classification. If Northside is playing AAAA, it opens a big game against local powers Peach County of Fort Valley (AAA) and possibly Baldwin (Milledgeville), who Northside has played for years. In AAAA, Northside joins the same region as Westside-Macon.

The benefit of playing up would be financial. It does not make a signficant difference playing in Region 1-AAAAA. I would argue that Northside takes a larger gate in games as a AAAA program because more AAAA programs are local games. The Northside game is the biggest game on those programs schedule and they bring large visitor fan bases to counter Northside’s rabid fan base.

Although Region 1-AAAAA has some of the best programs in the state, due the distance the visitor draws are not as large. They are good, but not great. The distance is simply too far. Coach Nix will always play strong programs like Carver-Columbus. The truth is many metro Atlanta schools are as close to Warner Robins or closer than many South Georgia programs in Region 1-AAAAA.

HomeFieldAdvantage: I am a graduate of Northside. I was an athlete and team captain of two sports. However, I can assure you that there are GHSA programs that are more successful than our football program. The School Board is correct to consider activities beyond football.

There is a logical argument that clearly shows that Northside makes more money (particularly in football) playing in a AAAA region against more local programs than playing in Region 1-AAAAA, which practically goes from Middle Georgia to North Florida.

Region 1-AAAAA programs like Valdosta, Colquitt County, Coffee, and Tift County do not draw nearly as much as Peach County, Westside, and Baldwin programs.

Good luck to all the teams from region 5 I’ll be routing for all of you. Looks like E.P. will be moving back down to AAAA after losing many students to North Paulding last year. Kinda hope we end up in the same region with Sequoyah as we had a pretty good rivalry started with them before we went to AAAAA. Also, I gotta keep my eyes on Griffin as that is where I graduated from. Go Bears!

The reports are true that the Roswell starting quarterback quit DURING THE GAME last Friday night against lassitter. This may sound a little harsh, but the kid is not mentally tough at all to quit during a region 5A champioship game in the 2nd half after throwing 2 interceptions and fumbling a snap. These were two 9-0 teams ! Most parents will not allow their kids to quit playing “rec ball” let alone varsity football just to teach them a life lesson about not quitting. Unfortunately for Collins Hill, the backup is a junior and is clearly a better and more athletic qb. It was a very low maintenance offense because the kid could not even make some basic high school throws; Roswell will likely go deeper into their offensive playbook against collins hill with #4 at quarterback. The backup was playing one quarter during most games this season and was always the better quarterback but the kid who quit was a senior and his dad was a “community coach” on the coaching staff (politics). The team appears to have rallied around the new qb change. All defensive players will be back, most importantly the safety who is a fearless hitter. He was out against lassitter and it really showed. Should be a good game as roswell is built on defense to stop the run; while Charles Perkins will test them all night. Hate to see either team lose……but Go Roswell.

This game is not a gimme, we have to make that LOOOOONG 25 hour bus ride down, and we have some injuries. I am debating if I am going to make that drive. I may stand on an exit with a sign “will work for ride to Savannah.” Of course if you are coming up you could stay at my house and I could stay at yours. Got any good stuff in the fridge? If we get by WF tonight I am looking forward to see if we can keep NSWR under 50 points. Hey good luck to ALL the teams tonight. Our prayers are with Tyler Hunter.

Pops: Are you making the trip to Snellville (where everybody is somebody)? Ball control will be the key for Etowah tonight for them to win. Grayson had the ball for 33 minutes in their victory over South. Ditto for Brookwood to pull the upset in Powder Springs. Agree with you about Collins Hill over Roswell. As long as the Eagles mix things up & do not rely too heavily on Perkins, they could pull off the win.

Big props to coach williams at Greenville high. I met this man about 6 months ago. A great man and the kids love him. I hope and pray that Tyler Hunter will be ok. Phil 4:13.

Jaybo: HomeFieldAdvantage and ENR answered your question concerning NSWR playing up. One correction, Westside Macon will play in AAA with Peach Cty, Central-Macon, Rutland, etc. According to Coach Way of WRHS, he said there is a good chance NSWR, Houston, and WRHS will be placed in a region with Jaybo’s TCC, Bainbridge, Lee County and maybe Harris County. If that happens– so much for saving money via travel. Personally, I would prefer playing in a region with Griffin, Jones Coutny, and teams from Henry County. The non-region games will still be Peach, Perry and/or Westside. Oh well, it is not up to me. Heck< I just love football.

Reeze / HomeFieldAdvantage…

We EP folks are still hanging around, yep 5/5 was a bummer year but it easily could have been 7/3…The record really didn’t matter this year, as much as making the playoffs would have been nice, this years EP team just didn’t “gel” as past years teams did. Even if they had made the playoffs I am VERY afraid it would have been “One and Done” as they would have been outmatched by a VERY STRONG Grayson team!!! EAST played & lost to Grayson last year, at Grayson, Marietta is heading into a buzzsaw over there tonight…Harrison, EP, Cherokee & Marietta all could have ended up the #4 seed but any of them would have been overmatched this year.

EAST has the option of moving down to AAAA or “playing up” by staying at the AAAAA level. With the success EAST had last year and knowing how fiercely competitive our coaches are I really don’t think they will consider the AAAA option, but we’ll just have to wait and see. I know whatever they decide they will have a tremendous support for the 2010 team as all I have heard since EP was eliminated is CAN’T WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR!

GO RAIDERS 2010!!!!!

As for PLAYOFF FOOTBALL tonight in Paulding County…we have our UNDEFEATED and REGION CHAMPION HIRAM HORNETS playing tonight at home against Chamblee!!
These kids beat Hillgrove, Sprayberry & Dalton IN A ROW to get to where they are…CONGRATULATIONS to them and GOOD LUCK TONIGHT!!!

Northside Observer,

I don’t believe that Bradwell Institute will stay in the Class AAAA Classfication. They will petition up I believe. There are no Schools in the area for Bradwell Institute to contend with. You will only have Brunswick, and Jenkins Of Savannah. Everywhere else will be too far to travel. The nearest will be Northside warner robins or maybe some Augusta Schools which is still about 0ne and one half to two hours away. In addition, It will leave Camden County alone as well. Even if Camden County moved over to Region 1-AAAAA which will be the closest, they still will be too far to travel, and it will be very costly. What I believe is that Everything will remain as it is currently. Some schools will play up.

I do have a couple but I’m not going to say. It will have a lot of people ruffled.

1AAAAA Sweep Baby! Newnan going to get rocked tonite. That new QB off the bench for Valdosta can play. Kids are fired for Coach T. Newnan will be an unfortunate casualty. Just my 2 cents.
