I have to give Chip Walker and his Patriots all the credit. The onside kick at the start set the stage and the Creek has been a roll. They came ready and it looks like we were caught off guard for whatever reason.

Not a city …but Sandy Creek is in Tyrone GA. Between Peachtree City and Fairburn or Union City.

Yeah Rajon Neal isnt getting anything up the middle but we can tell who keeps Sandy Creek in games. I am surprised they only beat Tucker by 3

Peach County 14, Eastside 7, just went to the half. Game started at 8:00

FITZ/BUFORD: Looks like the last to have the ball may win….fitzgerald is moving the ball at will ( perhaps better than Buford), but a turnover on the 1 yd line gave Buford the lead just before the half.

Camden defense holds again….Colquitt is going to have to punt!

Looks like Camdens Defense carried over from the ist half to the 2nd half.

Clarke Central 21-0, early 3rd qtr. Could honestly be a lot worse.

a score by Camden now would be a back breaker

To all you nasayers out there…. Northside 20 Newnan 14. Both offenses seem to move the ball well. Looks like the clock will determine the winner here. I graduated from Northside in 81 and live in the Savannah area. GO EAGLES!!!!!!!!!

This is Northside’s last chance to take a 5A title since they are going back to 4A. Would love a shot to even the score with the wildcats since they knocked us out last year…..Love the blue N at midfield. Thank you!

#1 fer now

December 4th, 2009

It’s too far gone to second guess but Griffin tried an onside kick and recovered it against Sandy Creek in the 2004 playoffs when Rodney Walker was the coach. They tried it tonight against Chip Walker and it went all wrong. Think maybe the Patriots were ready for that?

Bleed Blue

I don’t think so Cat1985…not that I’ve heard

Turnovers are a killer, just hope we can hold them, Colquitt is looking good so far on this drive.
