at the end of the day we both didnt make it to the state id rather have lost early than to go all the way to the last game before the final and not win. Super Chokers and then Griffin’s fans showed their loyalty real quick. Everybody scurried out like somebody screamed fire. Devoursney knew it was over at halftime yall need to move waller he has no accuracy

Panther pride when the majority of kids enter 9th grade or high school in the fall of the year they are 14 years of age unless their b-day is late. So you are 14 during football season as a freshman and 17 as senior. Most kids turn 18 after the year changes during their Senior year. Therefore they are 18 at graduation. Dekalb must need 5th year year players to compete? I don’t need correcting you do. The only way you are 18 is, late b-day or you repeat a grade before entering high school.

SWD player you would rather lose early, get real young man. Are you the same person who had a ton of excuses about alot of things. Where should I begin, first you accused the AJC writers of this blog site of putting the spot light on SWD, by saying yall were favored to win it all with your all-star team, don’t believe the hype, the game is always decided on the field, talking or predictions never win or lose for you. Oh wait maybe it was your tailback getting injured during the game, or you gotta love this one Clarke Central had grown men playing against your team, or how your fans criticized Buck Godfrey after you loss. You had a lot to say. That was you 3 weeks ago rt after you turned in your football gear. Young man be as passionate about your school work as your about playing football, it will serve you well in life.

PEACHCOUNTYTROJAN – I like your style. I look forward to an excellent game. The two best teams made it to the finals. Peach County will have a hard time scoring with Gainesville. You can flip your prediction and might be close….LOL. GAINESVILLE 27 – PEACH COUNTY 13. My prediction is GAINESVILLE 35 – PEACH CO. 17. Gainesville rarely kicks field goals. We have no field goal kicker. We hold our breath on extra points.

Well actually I dont think Newnan will be half as good next year but everyone said that last season so hopefully we can do the same thing next season. Northside Observer I completely agree that we have come so close too many years and thanks so much its good to know that another team supports and likes us.

Observer I see you do a lot of observing( what type of an adult with a real life sits on a high school football blog, and takes the time to read a high school students comments) But I dont know who you root for or what not but the point is Im criticizing Griffin because I can the same way a lot of these blogging douche bags did after we lost.

SWD player are yall still bitter about getting beat by Griffin last year and getting bounced in the 2nd round this year get over it. SWD Player outside of SWD, Marist, and Tucker your region is garbage. Lakeside, Stone Mountain,Lithonia and Chamblee don’t exactly qualify as stiff competition.

Dunwoody….maybe ….Spalding 5-6 lol….Ola 4-6 ..Get Real….Mt. Zion…. possibly..
Forest Park….lol 1-9 overall North Clayton..yes Stockbridge…2-6 lol Jonesboro …2-8 Dutchtown..yes Alcovy…lol

North Clayton, Dutchown, and Alcovy were the only decent teams you all had to play

Playoff opponents
Harris County 5-5
Ware County 5-5
Apalachee.11-0 .. Maybe a Challenge
Sandy Creek 12-1…Where you met your demise

Our Opponents
NW Whitfield 7-3
Clarke Central 9-2
Oh Yeah and for your info Lithonia and Stone Mountain were good this year as you probably hear they were stripped of their wins. Chamblee was decent too

It’s funny how everyone keeps talking about Gainesville.Yall keep mentioning something about Peach county scoring on them.Actually,the most points allowed by our(Peach Co.)starting defense has only been 14 and only two teams were able(Eastside and St.Pius).Gainesville needs to worry about if they can put up more than 14 on our defense.I am more than certain that our offense won’t get shut out.Peach County has beaten two #1 seeds in back to back weeks.Gainesville on the other hand hasn’t played a #1 seed yet.Peach County has been tested in the play offs and so has Gainesville.The only difference is Peach County overcame great teams where as,Gainesville overcame “OKAY” teams.

lil jig – I promise to come back to this blog and eat crow if we lose if you promise to do the same. Gainesville came out very flat against Flowery Branch and was really tested. Gainesville will not beat Peach County if they play the same way. I expect Gainesville too play much better. It will be a good game. Gainesville will score more than 14. At least 28 IMO. Gainesville’s defense is very stout. I believe Peach County in the end will not be able to keep pace with Gainesville. We will see. Let’s hope for an injury free game and may the best team win

Camden co. better not take this game for granted, this NSWR team has been tested by the best and has overcome many obstacles, they are playing a notch above last year.Their offense has several weapons that can be dangerous and the defense has held their own.I hope both teams come in healthy and geared up for a great game! GO EAGLES, WE ARE PROUD OF YOU, OUR TEAM OF THE DECADE!

It’s apparent that you’ve cooked your brain due to the amount of weed you’ve smoked (in addition to everything else) Your delusional and sometimes random thoughts are proof of that. If you continue to live in the past, you’ll never get to experience the future.

I believe this is going to be a night for Camden to show what they have. Dry field, good team to play against. What a run this year, and at least the next two years are going to be better. Go Cats. Smoke and Mirrors.

Great performances by every team happy to see the ones that moved on, sad to see the ones that didn’t. I watched the Griffin game and Sandy Creek really jumped out the gates quick. Im pretty sure there are some quiet Griffin fans.

Maybe I am wrong maybe I am delusional maybe Griffin actually won that game maybe I was wrong to say that you cant go off of predictions, maybe the fact that I played this year didn’t give me insight into if I think we would win or not. Maybe Clarke Central wasn’t as good as I gave them credit for before the game and after . Check this out poser maybe I was delusional enough to believe we won a region championship and went undefeated in region 6-AAAA.. Maybe just maybe I am..lol

SWD Player, as far as our weak bracket, unless I’m mistaken Apalachee was undefeated when Griffin faced them and who was one of the teams they beat? Why it was Clarke Central the same team that beat you!! So get over yourself and shut up!!

The 5A title game between Camden and Warner Robins should be dubbed the Navy and Air Force game or Armed Force Assault. Both are military towns and it shows when we’re on the field of battle.

I also think it is an indication of retreat when the best in the state of georgia(Camden) is not allowed to be on display in a grand gathering in the Corky Kell Classic. I guess when we were first invited we were thought to be a one night wonder and be pushed around by the atlanta area schools, but when that didn’t happen we were turned away. Just cause you don’t see us in the dome at the beginning of the football season(Corky Kell Classic) you will see us at the end(State Championship).

Many people criticize CAMDEN’s schedule, team, region, and program as weak and/or overrated. They say if we were in region 1AAAAA that we wouldn’t win as much. Well if we win this Saturday night in the DOME that means we would have beaten Northside, Lowndes, and Colquitt County in these playoffs. So in addition to the Region 3AAAAA and the GHSA State championship, NHS should send us the Region 1AAAAA championship trophy!!!

I stand corrected, i was speaking of the city of Warner Robins which is home of Warner Robins Air Force Base which also happens to be the same city in which Northside Warner Robin High School is in or would you perfer I drop NS and just say Houston County.

Camden has been in the Corky Kell for what 6 years now (5 wins 1 lose)? Camden goes to hotlanta and stomps all over North Gwinnett. The higher ups get mad and drop Camden. It makes you wonder. Go Cats.

Hi everyone

Just introduce myself: I am a man (says my wife), I am 50 years old (hmm, that looks bad isn’t it?) and I am a terrible bad programmer (I say myself).
My hobbies: computer (of course), my 17 years old son and of course my wife. I like to play billiard, I do a very little bit and very simple programming in VB and I try to make a site for my billiard-club in the near future.

Look forward to ‘meeting’ you all.
