My best friend’s granddaughter says you can’t play with a dead dog. let’s move past the Camden “bashing” issue and talk about what all our own teams are going to do, or not do, tomorrow. Deal? After having two of our key senior players go down with injury, please let me say I sincerely hope no other team experiences this and here forward all the young men playing their hearts out to entertain us old couch potatoes, hasbeens and wouldabeens, do it without injury. We’re down to 16 teams in each classification, 8 will go on. God, please bless each and all the players and coaches, and give them good weather to perform in. Every team who has made it this far should be proud of that accomplishment. Good luck tomorrow night fellow boggers, and be safe traveling to and from games.
Now with that said, I also want to say GOOOOOOO Vikings, and all region n1 teams!

Hornet Dave,
Liberty County could not [play up. They are in Class AAA. However; it would be great to have Brunswick, Glynn Academy to play up but take note of their school enrollment. However, they are a lot better program wise than the Savannah Schools. In addition, who else would you recommend? Keep in mind this just talk. The Board, the Athletic , the Principal has the final say so to request to play up.

1-AAAAA–how bout posting something coherent, talking about what your team is GOING to do is like predicting when youre going to hit the lottery..both are impossible. Thats called living vicariously So what if LaGrange was beaten. Its part of the game *shrugs* 90% of the teams still playing have taken an ‘L” at one point or another!
ALL im saying is that SOME of these schools play in MULTI MILLION dollar facilities…but cant afford for students to travel (in all sports)??
realistically speaking you can play with a dead dog, whether you would or not is up to you lol!!!

Colquitt County Underdog …………..What team would’nt look good against Mill Creek ,Dahooche Northview or Duluth….NG looked great ,until Lowndes in 2007 and last year until Newnan…..I don’t think NG has faced a defense as good as Woodstock’s yet…..But I could be wrong , I thought Colquitt would beat Lowndes and MaCeahern would make it to the finals…. any way ” This is why we play the Game”

Roswell is a year away from being a team that can stick with Grayson, too many sophmores and juniors starting on both offense and defense for them to stay with the # 1 team in the state.They’ve had a great season and will play hard Friday night, may the best team win with no injuries for either team.

SportsFan31313, I suppose other possible schools to join Camden might include Ware County, Wayne County, Statesboro, and the two Effingham schools – basically, Region 2-AAAA. Unfortuneately, I’m not sure that any of these schools other than maybe Ware and Brunswick would put up any more resistance than Camden’s current region.
Obviously, Camden County’s lack of competition is at least partially due to the size advantage it has over other schools playing above their population level. I believe Camden is the largest school in the state outside of Gwinnett County; has there ever been talk of adding a second school to the county? That might even things out.

Here is a suggestion for all of you who despise Camden, just donate a portion of your check for travel and other expenses. I’m sure the GHSA will gladly thank you for your support. BTW, we will thank you too. Ball is in your corner.

SportsFan31313 and White Trash
The real issue with Camden County is that they will do and say anything not to have to split that school up. Because you know once they do that we won’t hear from Camden County anymore. It’ll be that same as what happened to Effingham once they split that school. White Trash….half of 3000 is 1500 so if they did create another school on Camden County they would be 4-A not 5-A as you stated. Peace to all you Camden apologists.

It’s not our problem to solve it’s Camden’s. Why should lower class school’s play up to accommdate Camden. I hope no one decide’s to play up and Camden is put at a disadvantage for a while with having to travel….You Camden people will be singng a different tune then.

im with ya taylor. kent rollins is a superb qb. he is a jr. this year right? i dont think brookwood will be able to beat pridge but they are hot right now. if south can get a good pass rush then i dont care how good hutson mason is. no time will cause him to play poorly.

Any football team can beat another. I’m sure the SG qb is good. Hutson Mason deserves the hype. He is a record setting star! 3714 passing yards for the season, 545 passing yards in a single game and will hold the season passing TD record after tomorrow night. Either team could win, but Hutson will probably need the best game of his life for Lassiter to win the game.

We keep hearing from people outside Region 3, so how about the team inside the region. Do they want to play up or down? I think its a fair question? Once they’ve answered, stop beating a dead horse!!! Move on and talk about something else.

Camden should build a new high school. of course for the first 3 or 4 yearsthe original school will be larger and the football team way better. but after the new program is set up then the amount of kids and football players will even out. it should put both teams in AAAA i dont know if any other AAAA teams are down there but it would fix the 5AAAA problem and make it easier for the savannah schools to play in AAAA. and just because the district splits it does not mean both teams can not be successful.

Even if you split up Camden County you would have about 1800 to 2000 in Kingsland and only about 1000 in the rest of the county. We would all rather have city schools down here, because some our children are on the bus for over 30 min (without traffic) just to get to school. The reality of it is it would not be cost effecient to have city schools in most of our counties.

hsfootballfan Georgia went to AAAAA in 2000. Parkview won the 1st three, then Camden in 2003. Lowndes in 2004 and 2005. Peachtree Ridge and I think Roswell tied as co-champs in 2006, Lowndes won in 2007 and Camden won in 2008. Lowndes and Camden runs the Wing T. I dont believe any AAAAA champions have run the spread.

Thank you for the answers to my questions. It seems to me that all 5-A state champs in georgia run for the dough, and only throw to show,and all these teams had great defences. I think the passing teams will be in trouble.

It should be noted that all of the Warner Robins schools are more than 100 miles to Valdosta and vice versa. They have been in Region 1AAAAA for the last 2 years.
Why don’t we think out of the box here GHSA and Region 3AAAAA.
Let the smaller schools play football in the classification they belong in and then let them play the other sports in AAAAA.
Camden could be in Region 1AAAAA for football and in Region 3AAAAA in all other sports.
I know, that is to simple to do.

Roswell would have been the closest thing to a passing team of all the state champions in AAAAA.

Why don’t some of ya’ll go down to Camden County and give them the 10-12 million needed to build a new high school. And as for those posters who keep saying “just put Camden in Region 1-AAAAA”, WHY do you want to put boys ANG girls, because we’re talking about all sports, on a school bus on Tuesdays to travel 150 miles to play a sport then 150 miles back and go to school then next day? That’s just plain darn STUPID. Plain and simply STUPID! If you were a parent of one of these kids you’d be raising hell at whoever thought of that dumb butt idea! Move on people. Get another cause. Join Greenpeace, be a tree hugger or something, just quit trying to put your football “whims” ahead of students and their education! THIS IS A FOOTBALL BLOG.

inthatrenches (from some butt conference whatever it is) why don’t you think traveling 220 miles one way to Atlanta to play a daggum football game is not a ROAD TRIP? Tell the bus drivers, players, coaches, cheerleaders, Board of Education Members who furnished busses and paid for diesil, and fans who coughed up all that motel money and restaurant money they weren’t road trips. That’s a DUMB thing to say inthewhatever daggum trenches. DUMB! 220 MILES ONE WAY IS A ROAD TRIP!!!!!!!!
Besides, we somehow have won 3 state championships this decade. Only Parkview can say that besides Lowndes, and we have a chance for a 4th. Parkview doesn’t.

Camden will always have one high school. Our numbers do not compare to many metro Atlanta schools. Everyone complains about our region but the fact is we traveled to Newnan and beat them 27-7 and Pridge 21-7(Last season) . What happens in the play-offs is all that matters. It is a shame that Camden is playing Lowndes in the second round. One of the better teams in the State will not advance. As a Camden fan, whoever wins tomorrow night will have it a whole lot easier in the third forth and State Championship game.

Yo, only Valdosta and Lowndes are over 100 miles to Warner Robins. I’m sure you know outr 9 th grade and BTeams did not play any of the Warner Robins schools. It was a nightmare scheduling baseball, track, basketball, softball, etc on Fridays and Saturdays for region games for us and Valdosta and the Houston county teams. With Camden, the closest 1-AAAAA school is Coffee. Every game in every sport with every team would have to be on Friday and/or Saturday. Why do adults want to put children on school busses for that many miles just to satisfy some football bloggers?

Sorry intha trenches – all this talk this week about putting our students on busses for how many miles ? has just gotten to me. I served on the Board of Education for 8 years and I know what a problem all that needless travel would be for the students, not just for Camden but for all the current region 1 schools having to go way over there. That’s something people haven’t even thought about. They’re just talking about Camden traveling. What about Tifton, Colquitt, Lowndes, Valdosta, Coffee, or Northside & WR if they decide to play up having to travel to Camden? Travel cost money. Taxes are down.
Again I apologize to you for losing my cool. But it IS a DUMB idea!

HFA hey I see alot of people commenting on travel ……I was just asking a question…. No problem… Lowndes won the 04′ championship game at Parkview the Dome has actually been like their second home….. The reason I ask was I seen Lowndes struggle with NSWR (on the road) and I thought it will be interesting which Lowndes team shows up? I am sure both teams will play well; but it may be more defensive than the offensive for both…
