Next week game between Clarke Central and Rockdale is going to be ’smash-mouth’ football at its best……with both teams improving, its hard to predict the outcome. I know its hard to beat someone twice, so I think turnovers will decide the outcome for this big game, Clarke is no cup-cake, but neither is Rockdale…..

David, I do not want your email address. I want you to tell me what year you graduated and what Northside Eagle was a two time All-State player.
There is an ugly group of Eagles, who live to second guess the most accomplished coach in the history of Northside football, by far. Northside has one coach who has advanced past the quarterfinals. His name is Conrad Nix.
If he believes in a two time All-State kicker who has successfully made multiple 50+ yard field goals, I am not going to take the word of some guy name David on an AJC.com blog site. I am going to trust the guy who has brought multiple state championships to my alma mater.
My guess is the guy name David never played football at Northside. If he did, he probably player on teams that got their rear ends beat. I trust the guy who beats people with backup QBs and RBs with broken arms. He believes in Pike. Therefore, I believe in Pike. The guy named David has nothing on his resume which would suggest he has a valid reason to distrust Pike, who just kicked the game winning FG in the state quarterfinal.
Has David or any od David’s classmates even reached the state playoffs? I did not think so.

I agree with ENR. Devon is a talented player has great parents and a TOP notch coach. You all can talk about Conrad Nix all you want – he has nothing to prove to the schools in ATL. He does his best work on the field. Yes, its great to be a Northside Eagle.. I was there 85-87 we got smacked around pretty hard those years except 1987.. GO BIG BLUE! Hope to see you all in the DOME!!!

Ok, ENR. I will bite. There was not a single, two-time All-State player at NHS when I played. That still doesn’t change things.
Again, it was a coaching mistake to attempt a field goal on first down. I stand by my opinion, and think it would have been over in the 1st OT if he had run a couple of plays first. I know Coach Nix on a first name basis, as well as Coack Kinsler and Coach Stewart.
I have no problem questioning what I consider was a coaching mistake that, fortunately, did not cost them the game.

Congrats to the Newnan Cougars. Alec Ogletree was everything advertised and then some. There was some serious hitting in that game.
I was really impressed with #51 he was a force.
Good luck next week against the JV boys from Macon

OK, David. I know Coach Nix, Coach Kinsler, and Coach Stewart as well. I have never called them by their first names. I also knew that you did not know any All-State players because the Northside teams are not even in the same conversation as this group of Eagles.
Again, I will defer to the Coach who has won the most. Since you have never played on a state playoff team…and if you did, you never played on a team that reached the state quarterfinals, I respect your opinion.
It is my opinon that Nix made a logical choice because Northside could not move the football via the run with O’Neill hurt. Passing was a big time risk with a QB who had NEVER been in that situation and had almost thrown two interceptions on the previous possession.
Again, I have grown weary of the Northside contingent of fans who constantly question the one of the most successful coaches in this state and in the nation. The guy is 120-13 since 2000. If a guy is 120-13 and he believes in a two-time All-State kicker from 32 yards out, I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt.
You do not have to agree. However, telling me to “shut up” is a little over the top. I know that you are not a two-time All-State player and I know that you don’t know one from your days at Northside either…because no such player existed.

Re: Northside (please drop the WR)
I did not play my junior or senior year. My senior year Coach Gann had his heart attack and Coach Porch was the interim. Their was a conversation about playing. I chose not to.
Andre Bryant was my classmate. He signed with UGA, but didn’t go. I don’t know why, but I could ask on FB.
I did play my sophomore year where, just as my senior year, our season ended in the playoffs in Valdosta.

Well, ENR, I have to say, my world didn’t revolve around football when I was a student at Northside. If I wanted to relive my glory days of High School, I am sure my record of accolades…well, never mind. I am sure that according to you, I am not worthy of an opinion on anything.

Russell, Obviously I was wrong earlier when I said rankings during the season are meaningless. Of the four teams left in AA, Calhoun was #1, Fitzgerald #2 and Buford #3. In this case, the coaches’ poll is obviously right about who should be in the semis, maybe not the exact order, but that is getting worked out. You Jackets had another very impressive victory tonight, and as always you are very well coached and very balanced, probably more so than any other AA team. Calhoun always has a great QB, backs, receivers, lines and a superb kicking game. Since we’re still standing, we have to play someone and it’s Calhoun. We’ll try to make it entertaining for you. Take it easy on us and save your biggest hits for the baseball playoffs in the Spring. It’s always an honor to take the field against Calhoun.

Northside (please drop WR): The 1992 Northside team lost 4 games. The 1994 Northside team lost 3 games. Both teams lost to Warner Robins and Valdosta, something these Eagles rarely do. That group Eagles played hard for our school. Northside’s combined record between 1992 and 1994 was 26-11 over 3 seasons. Northside lost 11 games in those 3 seasons.
Northside’s combined record since 2000 is 120-13. IT IS 2009 – 10 seasons! We are talking about apples and oranges. Andre Bryant??? Are you guys serious? 2 time All-State player? No way!!! That is my point to David. This kid Devon Pike is a two time All-State player and may earn his third All-State honor. People who followed or went to Northside in the early 1990s have no idea how much better these kids are compared to the kids back then.
Again, Northside was a combined 26-11 from 1992-1994 and you guys are talking about those days as they were glory years. David is playing Monday Morning Quarterback and feels that he has the credentials to question our coach. These Eagles are 120-13 over 10 years. David wants to tell us what a 120-13 coach should be doing. With all due respect, that sounds STUPID! I’m sorry.
As David has admitted, he does not know a two-time All-State football player from Northside. Since he doesn’t know any, I find it strange that he knows how a team would trust that caliber player.

Nix’s first year back was 1994, right? And his first team was really good with Manson, Stillwell, O’Brien, Corey Harris, and that Bembry kid. All got scholarships to play in college. Northside had some good teams in the mid 1990s..’92, ‘94, ‘97 especially. All went really deep in the playoffs. It is baseball where Northside has underachieved. They should have about 7 baseball titles with the talent that has been through there over the years. WRHS, also. lol.

Jeremy Avery??? David are you dumb enough to think that All-Middle Georgia via the Macon Telegraph is the same thing as being name All-State? You are not serious, are you? Jeremy Avery was NEVER All-State. If you graduated in 1993, then you could have played on a bad 7-5 team in 1990, one of the worst teams in Northside’s history a 3-7 1991 group, and the aforementioned 9-4 team in 1992.
There was not a player in that group who even came close to sniffing an All-State nomination, let alone really being named All-State. Do not disgrace yourself. All-Middle Georgia?
Is this comedy hour or a legitimate discussion about Northside football? I thought Lopez Tonight was already off.
No played in the class of 1991, 1992, or 1993 ever came close to being named All-State. All-Middle Georgia is not close. By the way, no one in Northside’s class of 1994 or 1995 were All-State football players either. There were some All-State athletes are Northside then. They did not play football, David. Come on.
Devon Pike is a real All-State player. Twice. We are not talking about All-Middle Georgia from the Macon Telegraph. You are a funny guy!

ENR. I’m not arguing that we’ve come a long way. I’m just saying Northside had some real good teams back then. Let’s not forget that the Northside of today is not dealing with the same caliber of WR or Valdosta teams that had to be delt with then, either. I know this for sure, the teams back then would have won the State Championship in the next class down (AAA back then), which is what both of our titles are in (AAAA now).

Newnan beat a great Grayson team tonight. It was a defensive battle throughout the game. Alec Olgeltree added to his highlight real tonight with a great one handed catch in the back of the end zone and then coming off the end and stretching out to block the field gold to save the game and our season. The Grayson Rams and their fans were great host and they have a great facility and program. We hope that the Grayson fans will now get behind Newnan as we try to compete with those South Georgia teams.

ENR, if you took the time to read the questions that were posed, you would realize that I simply answered them.
BTW – you asked what years I played for and attended Northside. The only one comparing them is you.
My response telling you to zip it up was in response to your statement about Coach Nix “outcoaching” an Atlanta team.
You still haven’t answered the question.
What is your name?
When did you play for Northside?

Congratulations to Newnan! I just came from the best football game I think I have ever attended. 9-7 coming down to a blocked field goal with only a few seconds remaining – wow! It was a good clean game with a minimum of penalties. I could hear the hard hits on both sides from way up in the stands. On both sides there were a couple of plays that could have gone the other way. I saw outstanding plays by both teams. It came down to turnovers and Newnan was able to make the most of it. The fumble in the 4th quarter hurt us even though Newnan was forced to punt it back to us after they couldn’t move the ball. IT took too much time off the clock.
Both teams did a great job adjusting to the other. Newnan was looking strong in the 1st quarter and then at the end Grayson adjusted and drove for 8 minutes into the second quarter to score. Newnan came back strong in the 3rd with some outstanding pass plays. Grayson did pretty good with pass defense considering the mismatches in size but Newnan was able to move the ball in the air when Grayson shut down the run.
Newnan brought a lot of fans to the game. Based on seating capacity in the visitor stands, I would guess an easy 1,500 or more. The Newnan fans I talked with were good to talk with (unlike some others on this blog). I hope they all had a safe trip home. Good luck in the next games!

Camden, North Gwinnett, Colquitt and Lassiter,
This just in for your interest since you all have connections. Prattville and Hoover play next week for the AL State Championship in Class AAAAAA. For those unfamiliar with AL football, AL has six classes and is a smaller population state. With our wide disparity of school size within each of our five classes, going to six classes would be good for GA HS sports and give many more student athletes the lifetime memories of playing in State Playoffs.

I like Coach Nix, alot. No coach has their team more prepared than Nix does going into the games. But, I’ve witnessed many games (especially WR games) where we have had the better team but lost because of less-than-stellar coaching. If a big game gets tight, so will Conrad. He was already ran out of town once for choking in big games. The difference in the teams of today is defense. We never had defenses at Northside that would compare to the ones we have now…….and Kinsler coaches them. He’s the difference IMO.

AA Region 6 Fan, thanks for the information. I wonder whether the GHSA has ever looked at going to 6 size classifications? Georgia’s population is probably distributed differently than Alabama’s since Georgia has one ginormous population center, then a variety of much smaller cities and the largest number of counties on the East coast, many of them with truly tiny populations. Distance would be a major problem, I bet.
I am a fan of smaller high schools; the trend since the 1960’s has been consolidations, so that schools could offer more specialized subjects (more languages, college prep programs, etc.) But comparing a 3,000 student school to two 1,500 student schools, twice as many students get to learn by holding leadership positions in the two smaller schools. Twice as many get to start on the athletic teams. Whereas at the larger high school, I think a lot more just can drift through and leave the leadership to the small cadre of truly talented students.
Cities like Albany and Savannah, that have a lot of small high schools vs. one mega-campus, like Lowndes or Camden, are not competitive in football, but they may arguably generate 3-4 times as many student leaders in many fields since they offer 3-4 times as many leadership positions.

Just wanted to say props to Peachtree Ridge. I am a Northside fan who was in attendance, and you guys honestly kicked our butts for 3.75 quarters. We had 0 offense vs your defense. Obviously, the game could have gone either way. That game was different than any other game I have seen. Everyone was slow (players and fans) I guess because of it being Thanksgiving week/no school/etc. It just had a different feel. Also, the bands and other non football parts were all skeleton teams because I guess everyone had the option to not take part because of the holiday. It was a different atmosphere than what I had become accustomed to at the Mac.
Anyway, hats off to your Lions and super props to my Eagles of Northside. I did not expect them to do this well this year.
BTW, even though it won the game, kicking those FGs in high school on 1st down is a coaching decision I disagree with. In college from the 15 for the win, I get it. In high school, FGs are not as much of a sure thing.

I just wrote an extended blog, which went by way of the blog monster on this site David. Again, this is a blog. To my knowledge, many posters are going to gather at the State Championship game. You are welcome to come and meet me then. I am certain that you will not question my Northside credentials any more.
I still question you attempting to call out Conrad Nix. I know that you must not have been at the football game, as I was because I was home for the Thanksgiving holiday with my son.
My unyielding point is you have no idea what a two-time All State player looks like. I have been on college teams with All-Conference level players. You trust those players because they have proven themselves. Nix trusted Devon Pike, who is more decorated than any Northside player you ever played with (if you played).
A player who is All-State as a sophomore and junior is special. A guy who kicks multiple 50+ yard field goals is special. Pike has proven himself again and again. He missed two tonight. He also hit the game winner tonight. By the way, the third overtime period was the same as the first. Nix just ran him on the field to win it, which he did.
Ballard milked the clock with a 7 point lead and changed the attacking mentality of his football team. It is a fact! Peachtree Ridge was dominating with a mixture of running and passing throughout the entire first half. Receivers were WIDE OPEN practically every time Lombardo (PRidge QB) drop back. He is an option QB and was a little inaccurate. However, Northside loaded the box to stop the option and the pass was there.
Ballard ran the ball up the middle in a very predictable manner in the 3rd and 4th quarter. He made a coaching decision to run every play and run the clock. It did not work. Therefore, he was outcoached by Nix who was without his two best offensive players, QB Briar Van Brunt and RB Shaquille O’Neill.
Maybe you have posters of PRidge coach Ballard in your room. I don’t know. I was at the game and this is what happened.
You graudated in 1993, which means that Northside teams had a combined 19-16 record in your 3 years at the high school. I do not believe that you carry the chops to question a coach who is 120-13 over the past ten seasons. You are also pushing it to question that coach believing in a kicker who was named All-State as a sophomore and a junior, while starting four straight years and playing on teams with a combined 53-3 record along with two State Championships.
You are not the authority here. Conrad Nix is.

Newman u got a lot of luck the last two weeks with Mack brown being injured last week and two fumbles in the first half against Grayson that were not called one of the fumbles would have been returned for a touchdown and u scored a field goal instead . You have a good team but are just getting by .

It took a while to read through all the comments and I did not want to sully the great game played by Newnan and Grayson with other comments.
I am amazed by the lack of class and respect shown by some of the posters! Some of you really need to look at your motivations for trying to tear down high sckool kids playing a game. All of the teams that lost tonight played very hard to get to the games and were devastated by losing. The mark of a great team is not how they lose but how they win. If some of these programs are run in a manner that is reflected by some of these posters (one in particular), I really feel sorry for the kids when they try to move forward in life. Football is about working together to reach a goal and doing it in a dignified manner. You cheapen the program you claim loyalty to by acting in the manner you do.
Unfortunately, the people than need to consider this the most have clearly demonstrated that they are least likely to consider their actions as anything other than perfect. It is a shame.

Thanks for the link “Northside (please drop the WR)”. I guess you can add Adam Dowd to the All-State list that I “played with”.
So, ENR, to answer your questions.
Yes, I played for a Northside team that went to the playoffs.
Yes, a Northside team (while I was a student) went to the playoffs more than once. (90 & 92)
No, I didn’t play with a “two-time” All-State player, but I did play with a total of three.

By the way, I was reading earlier posts. It appears that John in Jacksonville and David Grantham do not believe that Northside has the second most playoff wins in the history of Georgia football.
I am certain that David is a bitter Eagle who hates to see these Eagles play so much better than Northside’s hapless teams when he was in school. However, you guys have to understand that until 1989 only the region champions even reached the state playoffs. A state championship run meant 3 wins.
Northside has over 40 playoff wins. I believe it is 43. Todd Holcomb has something on it in the GHSF Daily and it was also on one of the early playoff preview blogs. It is a fact that Northside trails only Valdosta with playoff wins.
It is a somewhat skewed number because the format of the playoffs have changed. In MLB, Andy Petite has 16 career playoffs wins. John Smoltz is second with 15 career playoff wins. I will still take Bob Gibson or Warren Spahn in the playoffs. However, the playoff format is different. Althouth both played with good teams, they did not have as many playoff opportunities.
Northside has played a myriad of playoff games in the past 15 years, when the playoff format moved from 3 playoff rounds to five. It makes a big difference, especially if you are in the playoffs every season.
You can count at the Georgia High School Football Historians site. I am certain that David will seek ways to discredit Coach Nix’s success and bash highly decorated Eagles. Perhaps, David can tell us all who a Macon Telegraph All-Middle Georgia player stacks up to a real All-State player. Then, tell us the contrasting tastes of apples and oranges.

Northside (drop the WR): We are talking about this guy David bashing Conrad Nix’s decision to trust a two time All-State kicker from 32 yards. David could not name Greg Manson. Instead, he threw out a player named Jeremy, who he thinks was All-Middle Georgia. It highlights the fact that he has no idea how good an All-State player is. If he had a clue about how talented an All-State player was, he would know exactly why Devon Pike’s teammates and coaches trust him to kick game-winning field goals.

What does sound right to you David? Conrad Nix’s decisions do not sound right? Ballard being thoroughly outcoached by a guy who had inferior talent (not even debatable) does not sound right. Trusting the leg of a two time All-State kicker does not sound right. Northside having the second most playoff wins in the history of Georgia football does not sound right.
What sounds right to you? That a guy who was All-Middle Georgia was All-State because a small local paper named him All-Middle Georgia at a AAAA school as half a Macon plays GISA? Does that sound more accurate?

Jeremy Avery was All-State in 1992 according to the GHSFHA website. So was Andre Bryant. There were many off of the 1994 team that were all-state, but I’ll just stick with the years David said he was there. I have no dawg in the fight, I’m just observing. I don’t think anyone could argue that Nix isn’t a good coach, or even one of the best in the state. However, I do think that there has been about 5 or 6 times where we’ve had the best team in the state, but we only have two titles. And both of those are AAAA. Even though we would have beaten any AAAAA team in 2007.

I would have brought Devin in on 1st down both times, too. However, I wouldn’t have kept running Van Brunt up the middle when it clearly wasn’t working and wasn’t going to work. I think the QB going down forced Nix to open the offense up a little, which is why we eventually won. I know one thing, our defense is GOLD.

Re: ENR 1:39 am post
ENR, I didn’t bash Coach Nix. I think the quote goes like this:
“ENR, shut up already! Coach Nix made a mistake in OT #1 when he attempted the field goal on first down. Luckily, it didn’t cost him the game.”
Let’s analyze it for a moment.
“Coach Nix made a mistake.”
I didn’t question his authority. I didn’t run his name through the mud. I simply stated that he made a mistake, which was evident by the two-time All-State player missing the field goal in the 1st OT. It was a mistake; that, fortunately, did not cost Northside the game.
And about Jeremy…again, I simply answered the question that was posed to me by “Northside (drop the WR)”.
ENR – What is your name?
ENR – When did you play football for Northside High School?
Re: ENR 1:42am post
When I read one of your posts that stated Northside was second only to Valdosta in playoff wins, I questioned it. It didn’t “sound” right to me. It is surprising to me. Other than that, I think it is awesome that we are second to Valdosta in playoff wins. That is commendable.
Re: ENR 1:43am post
ENR, I don’t follow other teams. I keep up with Northside, so I couldn’t tell you who else has more playoff wins.
