There will be gridlock in Hall County friday night, Gainesville and Flowery Branch are only about 10 miles apart, there won’t be any room to move in City Park friday for that game. It should be a good game, but Gainesville wins 39-24

Camden Saint; this should be a great game regardless of who win; the Packers can now get the respect it deserves of being back on top of the elite in our region classification & going this far when people wrote us off early; but I am greatful to see that comment that others are bashing each other over something that should be cherish from both team because their is no loser on either team and that is what everyone has forgot about; so shame on Colquitt Fans and Camden Fans for bad comments that is a disgrace for both teams.

Another Friday night under the lights at Drake Stadium! We welcome the Eagle Nation from NSWR and hope everyone arrives and leaves safely. Plenty of seating as the endzone bleachers are in place are ready to accomodate the fans. Could be as many as 8,000+ to view this battle. Hope to see ya there!
I read where the NSWR team was frustrated by PeaRidge stopping their running game. Well, that will likely be repeated this Friday – at least we hope so! Oh, and the ‘N’ on the field does not, never did and never will stand for ‘Northside’, but NEWNAN!!
To Colquitt fans, the very best of good luck against Camden. Mind you, we would love to meet Camden once again and atone for our losses to them, but we’ll play with whomever makes it to the Dome.
Finally, Go Griffin! As former rivals, we in Newnan would like to see you succeed (just not against us necessarily).

Good post Courgar Dan……… Congrats to the Cougars and the Eagles this year …I don’t think anyone thought either team would make it this far in 2009…I really thought the Cougars would’nt make it past Valdosta…….I was wrong and here we are waiting for tommorrow night.. It’s good that the Eagles are still playing ball…With 3 straight 15 game seasons , Last season after the loss to Camden in the second round Eagle fans were seen aimlessly walking the streets of Warner Robins looking for a Football game the following couple Fridays after… …The Ridge game was a wake up call for the Eagles , Masteller more than prove himself against the Ridge and I think the Cougar defense will see more of him. It’s win or go home and I have watched Nix coach for many years , this is the time of year when we will all see a little different offense from the Eagles……So good luck tommorrow CougarDan…….Saturday morning the N a drake might just be trimmed in Orange and white.

The coin toss to determine home team has got to go. Not only is it “sissified” but it is out of date and pathetic, in such a hard-hitting sport as football. It should be used only as the final option in a tie-breaker. Records and stats should determine home team first, then if absolutely necessary go to a coin toss. That is just too arbitrary, just like in the NFL OT games where they use the coin toss. Many teams lose never having even touched the ball. Only “wimps” settle things this way !!
Reclassification Article
December 3rd, 2009
1:49 pm
From the reclassification article. “If you ask schools that have 1,700 or 1,800 students to play against schools that have 3,000 or more, it’s really unfair,” Swearngin said.” What a joke. In reverse, Camden County has been allowed to play in a AAA region for years and benefit from routing each school in their so-called AAAAA region. This allows to rest and reduce injuries for front-line players, groom underclassmen for future years (can’t beat game experience) and play nearly all their playoff games at home because of the automatic 1 seed. What coach wouldn’t kill for a situation like this. The GHSA playoff system is such a joke by providing the home team with such an advantage. Play neutral fields throughout the playoffs and crown a true state champion.
WAQ

I tried to explain this advantage to the Camden supports all week and finally got a few (the real football minds) to admit to this advantage. Herron is a great coach but what other great coach would not kill for this job with kind of advantage. To have reclassification makes no sense if this can continue to happen. Where is the competitive spirit of having like enrollment schools competing against each other.

Answer this one last time, when Camden play out region 3, which during the playoffs most of the time, what is the results? It doesn’t matter the foe, Lowndes, Parkview, Newnan, Pridge, Valdosta, Northside, Colquitt, Tift, Grayson, bottom line is to win a Championship, you must play out of your region. Defeat Camden if you can, and stop coming up with the same lame excuse. Weak schedule.

Tipp Smooth- Love Camden attend every game but I know I would much rather go to a game against Valdosta, Lowndes, Colquitt than games against Beach, Groves or Johnson. Them being in region 1 is more of a selfish wish for me personally than anything else, just to see better quality games! Now as for this season I said before that I have been watching this team for a while now and don’t remember a season where they are more improved from game 1 to game 13.

I think you guys are missing the big picture. We are talking about high school students here, not college or professional players. It was be very hard for Camden to play high school sports games while in region 1, because of the distance between schools. Do you really want your kid to come home after midnight after a football game???? Or better yet what about the freshman and JV teams, which play games during the week??? Could you image a high school student going to bed after midnight on a Thurs and having to get up the next morning for school, because of an away football game? That wouldn’t be fair to the kids. Remember these are STUDENT-athletics we are talking about!
Me being a Camden fan would love to see Camden play in a more competitive region, but because of the location of Camden I don’t think that would be feasible right now. I know for a fact, Coach Herron has been trying to play good teams in our non-region games. He was trying to play Hoover while the current Colquitt head coach was there, but he didn’t want any part of Camden. Camden has never been afraid of competition since Herron became head coach. We don’t make the schedule; we just play who’s ever on it!

I have 2 sons that play other sports ( wrestling, and baseball) And you are correct I would not want them coming home that late during the week.

Anyone who believes that someone is going to put up 20 on Northside’s defense is fooling his or herself. You are talking about two of the premiere programs in the state of Georgia when you are talking about Newnan and Northside-Warner Robins.
Our Eagles have been there and done that. We have faced some of the most prolific offenses in the state of Georgia. None of them put up 20 points on our Eagles. Lowndes scored 7. Colquitt County scored 17, much of that coming off of fine special teams play. Peachtree Ridge scored 10.
If Newnan only put up 9 points against Grayson, you are stretching your imagination, if you believe Newnan is going to hang 20 on Northside. Will Northside have our starting QB and RB who were practically out against Peachtree Ridge. If so, our Eagles are going to return to the State Championship.
We have Conrad Nix. Ask Peachtree Ridge and Lwondes County posters if Nix does not make a difference. We were dead in the water Friday night against P-Rdige. He found a way with backup players and 10th graders. He is the best in Georgia. PERIOD!

I will give you Newnan has gotten better over hte past 3 season’s. Premier may be a little strong. Northside is a premier team, that dominated in AAAA football has shown it can compete with the “Big Boy’s”. Too bad they will drop down next year to AAAA again. Was the hardest hitting game last year in Camden. I think Newnan had butterflies last year at home with a state title game on the line. “Tree” is a legit next level player. Titles make you a premier team. I like Northside in that game, Newnan should have learned last year about the bright lights of getting to the dome. Northside has been there. Newnan has never been there. Almost only counts in horshoes ans hand grenades.

This how Camden County porgram got built into a power house it is today.
It’s all about strategy when it comes to scheduling look at UGA’s schedule vs Florida schedule. If you schedule to many tough teams outside your conference early on it can be problematic. Florida took Miami off their schedule for that reason.
If Camden had moved to 1-AAAAA they would schedule just like the other teams. You get three non-region games. First game is a cup cake. Second game a tough opponent. Now a great coach can find his glaring weakness. The third game another cup cake or mid level program. This allow a great coach to see the adjustments.
Camden has used this formula in region 3-AAAAA. But there weak region allows the coach to continue to develop young players and stay away from major injuries. This is the main reason they can win on the road.
Player development for depth and no major injuries is the key using live game situations.
But unlike say Valdosta,Lowndes,Colquitt,NSWR and WR (1-AAAAA) or Peach County, Baldwin, Carver Colombus (1-AAA)who has to deal with a tough region schedule and major injuries and cannot rely on a weak region schedule to develop experience back up during the season. Give any great coach the ability to play freshman and sophmores a half game every game and watch the results. Take any of these programs and give them Camden’s 3-AAAAA schedule and watch the results. They can not schedule no more than one tough opponent outside their region. Check all the above teams non-region schedule and you will see what I just said.
NSWR removed Peach County from their schedule for this reason when they went to 1-AAAAA.
Robert Davis did this when he left Warner Robins and went to Westside Macon and that program.
Buzzbee removed Screven County and Swainsboro tough AA teams from Statesboro schedule to build up that program when he arrived.
When I was in the military I was stationed at at Moody AFB in Valdosta, Warner Robins AFB, Texas, Florida. I was raised in Statesboro Ga. I now live in Metro Atlanta. I have seen great High School football.
To win State you need plenty of depth and no key injuries.

Peach Co. over Eastside. Gainesville over Flowery Branch. I agree that Peach Co. is for real. Peach and Gainesville both have great defenses, but in the end Gainesville has too much offense for Peach. Gainesville’s offense is explosive. They can score at anytime from anywhere on the field.

I read these blogs from pre-season to post-season and its always the same thing. Camden does not play anybody. Camden has a weak regular season schedule. I ask, can we get any love. All we do is produce in the post season year in and year out. AJC rarely gives us coverage, but we continue to put GA football on the national stage. Camden will win this Friday night and they will repeat as Champions. I like the fact that no one respects us. For my own selfish reasons I would have liked to be placed in Region1, but I will take what they give me. I wish the Packers safe travel to Chris Gilman. I will be among you on the visitors/home side. GO CATS GO!!!!!! You will hear me Friday Night!

First game is a cup cake. Second game a tough opponent. Now a great coach can find his glaring weakness. The third game another cup cake or mid level program. This allow a great coach to see the adjustments.
Yeah WAQ you have it all figured out.
Camdens weak first team this year: Grayson (loss)
Weak second team: First Coast (close game)
Weak third team: Hoover, AL (loss)

We play in a weak region and have to play tough teams on the road.

No GHSA does, it’s the Savannah schools that causing this problem in fairness to Camden. It’s not their fault. The Savannah schools wants that same edge in basketball for AAAAA. They are really AAA schools and do not want to compete in AAA because of their basketball tradition.

All comunities need something to bring them closer together and high school sports is great tools to do it. Count your blessing the Savannah schools needs the same thing and you both benefit from a unfair competitive advantage to develop talent via a loop hole in the GHSA rules. Other programs have to built their programs the old fashion way not via loop holes.

If the GHSA is going to allow the Savannah schools to do this, they can at least rotate the playoff regions seedings so the 1 AAAAA second seed can get away from this. Right now if I was a 1AAAAA school and if I could not finish first, I would shoot for the three seed. Beating a well rested and deep Camden team at home late in the season after a tough region schedule is impossible, Ask the Camden fans. Look at their record in the second round against 1AAAAA at home.

Camden’s weak region schedule allows them to be too well rested. There are some games where the first string doesn’t play a full half. I can remember one game where we were up 35-0 in the first quater and no one on the first string saw the field in the 2nd quarter.
How is a team supposed to stay game sharp when they never play more than 2 1/2 quarters of ball? How are they supposed to respond in close games when all they’ve ever done is blow people out? How do you learn how to play better when you win by over 50 and shut your opponents out? There’s nothing to learn from those kinds of games! Do our reserves get valuable game time experience? Half the time they’d be just as well off playing the JV teams from Brunswick, GA, Ware County, Fernandina Beach etc.
The truth is playing in a weak region provides as many competative disadvantages as advantages.

georgia’s region 3 in its largest classification has essentially been the same for the last 25 plus years, the savannah schools playing up and any other schools along the I-95 coast including camden county. there was never any complaints about its makeup, for most of it, in truth other regions looked forward to realignments in hopes of being paired with the region in the first round (4 easy 1st rd wins ; }. even in 1999 when brunswick (14-1) made a run to the finals (lost to lowndes 17-0) there were no complaints, 2002 camden county (13-1) to the semi’s (lost to brookwood 24-23) there were still no complaints, why because any team even a poor region 3 team could get lucky right!! even in 2003 camden county (15-0) wins it all yet there were no complaints, no calls or outcries to place all the strongest southern programs in one single region. 2004 camden county (13-1) back in the semi’s (lost to eventual state champs lowndes 30-0) still no complaints because the football order had been restored, the fluky run of the poor little region 3 teams must be over right? wrong!!
only the real football people around the state realize that the state football landscape had changed for the foreseeable future(since 2002 6 semi’s, 2 state titles and counting…). finally someone (jeff herron just off a state championship at oconcee in 1999) had come into the region and changed the mindset of a school and a community that talent and fan support at games alone was not enough, you needed the facilities available at the other georgia power programs. now let’s fast forward to ‘07, ‘08 and ‘09 and everyone including you whiners (todd holcomb that includes you) rant and rave about how that poor region 3 team is not playing fair because it was not losing in the 1st or 2nd rounds per the script any longer ; (
and as for this new realignment now that region 1 (the sec of georgia high school football) will have only 5 teams (two legit programs,one playing up and living off past glories, valdosta, two programs that have seen better days tift & coffe, while losing two of the better programs in the state NHS & WR along with houston are moving down), that means lowndes and a rejuvenated colquitt now have a even shorter noncompetitive region schedule than camden county so let the real whining begin!!

I am a Camden County fan, and I have to agree that the weak region does have some to do with why we can always produce in the post season. Proof of this comes from the fact that as my wife and I were leaving the great Hoover, AL game this year after the last second field goal with a record of 1-2 i looked at my wife and said, “Well, at least we can finish up 7-0 and still run the table against all the savannah teams.”
Having said that, Camden has no control over where they are placed by the GHSA, as well as the fact that the countless savannah teams always request, or agree or however it’s done, to play up to camden’s level. And if you look outside of football (believe it or not, there are other sanctioned sports) the regions are a lot more balanced. Since Heron’s arrival, camden’s full focus has been football. They have upgraded all the facilities, implemented better off-season and regular season programs, and actually focused on developing undreclassmen. All things that were almost completely ignored for the first 40 years of camden football.
The true advantage CCHS has is Jeff Heron, not the schedule.

I am a Camden alumni and fan and I quit going to the region games due to the total lack of a football game! It is not worth the ticket price and traffic woes. I listen to the 1st quarter on the radio and wait for the playoffs. I agree that our region stinks and therefore I don’t give them my money when it is not entertaining to me. After all isn’t that why we go to the games, to be entertained? If those Savannah schools did not play up, I wonder what GHSA would do. I just laugh when I hear someone who is totally uninformned say “Camden has won 9 straight region titles!” Like it really means something!!

Did you see Paesine post. What mistermak is saying the strategy has been set. His assistant coaches at this point can run the program using the same formula. No one is saying Coach Herron is not a great coach. We are saying were is the competition GHSA is seeking for region play.
Answer me this, do Camden have a rivalry game (ex. Valdosta vs Lowndes, WR VS NSWR, Brookwood vs Parkview) were the records go out the window and this about region bragging rights? Look at what happen to NSWR vs WR this year. There were more fans at these games than any playoff game.
This is what makes for great football. Not blow outs by the 1st quarter.

WAQ ,
You are right my friend. I agree with you 100%. That is exactly how Camden County manage to do this. Bradwell Institute could be the same way. (They use to be) But they lost two great coaches, ( one to retirement and the other went to another school) and now hired a former coach from Savannah’s Johnson High School whom EVERYONE knows that this Coach is an underachiever. This Coach didn’t do well at Johnson, yet the School Board saw fit to hired him.No one is putting the pressure on this coach to great positive results or be fired. They are all right now talking under their breath. I really wish the day that I had the power, and authroity to fire this man. He would have been gone a long time ago. Not on the streets without a job. He is a License School teacher who happens to be the Athletic Director, and Head Football Coach. But he would not be coaching anymore. Allow him to teach Health, PE, or something like that. But no coaching whatsoever. Bradwell Institute has had losses prior to this coach but nothing like this, and Camden County wins streak against Bradwell Institute was NEVER like this prior to this Coach arriving here. We use to beat Camden County back then. Even the lossess that Bradwell got against great teams were never huge blowouts or shutouts prior to this coach arriving here. I believe that Bradwell Institute use to lead the series in wins when playing against Camden County prior to this coach arriving. The program is mediocre, and the players that they have now are not responding to this coaches leadership. The dominance of the football program is now beginning to shift from Bradwell Institute to the County High School. (Liberty County High school) Now Bradwell Institute can’t even win against a soft schedule of the Savannah Schools. A 6-4 record is totally unacceptable when you are playing against schools of such soft caliber. I commend Coach Jeff Herron on his philosophies. He is credited for giving Camden County National Prominence.

The only rivalry that Camden has ever had is..err, was…charlton county. We played every year until 2003 or 4, can’t recall off the top of my head, but charlton decided to end the rivalry as Camden was such a larger school and had a drastic series lead. I can’t say that i blame them. It’s not really fair to allow AA schools to play AAAAA schools in most cases. (charlton, buford, and few others could prolly run the table in region 3-AAAAA…haha).
I really hope i get off work in time to go to the game tonight. I talked to my boss and she is going to try and work it out. If i don’t get off in time, i can at least listen to Mr. Outlaw on the radio. I love how excited he gets over even a 1 yard gain!

That’s basically what i was getting at. As the almost the entire region is made up of savannah schools. I was also speaking as if that team was to take the place of camden and not including them in that as any of the smaller schools shouldn’t be able to beat a AAAAA power.
On another note. I am glad to report that the Jacksonville sports radio stations are finally starting to recognize camden. We were getting some love during their “Friday Night Lights” update this afternoon. This is only the 3rd time i’ve heard them mentioned (others being vs. Lowndes where they only mentioned the expected crowd size to be 25,000, and vs. First Coast which is a Jax school). I, admittedly, know very little about colquitt county, but they were getting a lot of love during the break down of tonight’s game.

So stop talking about being favored or not, that craps does not matter in the 3rd rounds plus in the playoffs. Just want to say one more thing though, CAMDEN Defense is no punk, they are fast and tackle well. The game will be decided by them, not us.

“What we’re trying to communicate is this: If you ask schools that have 1,700 or 1,800 students to play against schools that have 3,000 or more, it’s really unfair,” Swearngin said.
The GHSA should not allow schools to play up in classification if their goal is to achieve competitive balance in regions. Like I have said before it’s not Camden fault, it’s the GHSA and Savannah. The Savannah schools have only won 2 championships in BB in 30 years (1992 Johnson, Savannah, 1998 Savannah) so why they continue to play up is a mistery.

Exactly what would the GHSA have done if the Savannah schools had decided not to play up? Where would the other AAAAA region have come from?
There are not enough teams in AAAAA for 8 regions. The Savannah schools sort of solved the problem, but Region 1 is left with just 5 teams, which means the No. 4 team in that region can go to state with exactly 1 region victory.
Just about all of the metro Atlanta AAAAA regions could use another team or 2, and at least 2 of those regions are going to have a few extremely weak playoff teams next year, and likely in the immediate future.
The artificial number picked out of a hat by the GHSA to determine which teams should play in AAAAA or AAAA should have been lowered enough to keep the Warner Robins schools, Chattahoochee and a few of the east Cobb schools, among others, in AAAAA.
Chattahoochee is bailing on all its local rivals to play in what should be a very weak AAAA region. Hope the wins are worth the extra travel and loss of revenue/local rivals.
And given how well they’ve competed at the AAAAA level, Warner Robins & Northside WR should clean up in AAAA. Good for them. Also for Charlton County in Class A. As Al Davis says, “Just win, baby.”
Considering how well the Savannah teams traditionally fare in the AAAAA playoffs, it would be fitting if the GHSA limited that region to 2 teams in the playoffs (give the Region 1 & 2 champs a first round bye). Also, make Camden play on the road any time it faced a fellow region champion instead of having a 50-50 shot at a home game thanks to essentially being handed a region title.
Not knocking Camden’s great program, but even the school’s supporters have to admit that their team’s road to the playoffs is a whole lot smoother than anyone else in AAAAA. Taking away the coin flip would be a small measure to account for that, but we all know the GHSA would never do that. Or limiting Region 3’s playoff teams.
Apart from the teams in Region 2, I imagine there are a whole lot of AAAAA coaches in metro Atlanta and south Georgia (and coaches of several former AAAAA teams as well) who are having a difficult time wiping the smiles off their faces after getting a first glimpse at the realigned regions.

White Trash,
Yes, I was defending Region 3-AAAAA as it’s is good in other sports. Camden County run the Region in Football but nothing else. I am a graduate of Bradwell Institute, which is not in Savannah, Ga but outside of Savannah, Georgia if people don’t know where Bradwell Institute is located. Normally, the ONLY two dominating teams are Camden County and until this year, Bradwell Institute. Camden County has nine Region Championships, and I think Bradwell Institute has ten. Correct me if I am wrong. But when you get to Basketball, the Savannah owns it. Then Bradwell Institute does very well in Track and etc. Savannah does well in Baseball. So for people to say that Region 3-AAAAA is a weak region, look at it again as a whole in all sports. In addition, Region 3-AAAAA is so weak as Camden County has two State Championships and is closing in on another one this year. But without Camden County in football, you can rightfully say that Region 3-AAAAA is a weak region when it comes to football overall due to the Savannah teams, and I will agree with you on that topic.

6AAAAA Observer, agree the coin toss has got to go. That is the way a “wimp” or “sissy” would handle things. Next thing you know they will want to go to Rock, Paper, Scissors ! There are numerous tiebreakers that could be installed. When it gets down to the semis- a neutral site should be chosen about halfway between the two schools, or a centrally located site in the middle of the state such as Macon-Warner Robins. I’m sure there are plenty of towns/schools who would love to host these games for a 50/50 cut of the money. There are simple solutions but of course the type people that are running the GHSA have no common sense or logic. That one thing is obvious !!! BTW, Todd Holcomb says in another article (about no metro schools in playoffs this year) that technically Newnan is part of the Atlanta area. I think just maybe we should let the people of Newnan decide that. I would bet that if you ask 10 actual residents of that city, that 9 would rather be associated with South GA than Atlanta. I know a couple of folks from there and they do not want anything to do with Atlanta. AND, if Alan Jackson says Newnan is in South GA, then it is !!!

White Trash,
Yes Brunswick has done that in Class AAAA. But next season, the competition will be a lot tougher for Brunswick. Take a look at the new Region of 2-AAAA. Read the comment below very carefully:
Region 2 -AAAA
Div. A
Brunswick
Glynn Academy
Liberty County
Richmond Hill
Ware County
Wayne County
Div. B
Effingham County
Evans
Greenbrier
Lakeside, Evans
South Effingham
Statesboro
With that being said, Liberty County High School Panthers Head Football Coach, Coach Kirk Warner has increased the level of competition, playing against some very good football programs. The Panthers had a good season this year in what I believe to be the toughest Region of this Classification in the state (Region 3-AAA). This will make the Panthers Sports Program even stronger. The Panthers will face in their Sub Region, a very good Ware County Football Team, and Brunswick Football Team. Brunswick, the2009-2010 Region 2-AAAA Region Champions overall football record for the season was 8-3 in addition to making it to the 2nd round of the post season playoffs, losing to North Clayton. Ware County2009-2010 Region 2-AAAA 2nd runner up overall football record was 6-6, and they too made it to the 2nd round of the post season playoffs losing to Class AAAA Perennial Power Griffin.
In Region 2-AAAA as a whole, you have three Augusta area Schools. The three Schools that are out of Evans, Georgia are the 2009-2010 Region 3-AAAA Champions Lakeside Evans, who finished the 2009-2010 season 10-1 but losing in the first round to Westside Macon. You have 2nd runner up Evans High School who finish the 2009-2010 season with an overall record of 8-3 losing in the first round of the post season playoffs to Ware County, and you also have former Region 2-AAAAA Greenbrier High School that dropped down to Region 2-AAAA that will make itself known in this Region. Lets not forget about the Statesboro Blue Devils who will be coming off a rebuilding season, that is known to be a very good football team, and is also known for their winning tradition. Then you have the remaining Schools that will make up Region 2-AAAA. That is Effingham County, South Effingham County, Wayne County, Richmond Hill, and Glynn Academy. Let it be known that this will be a very exciting2010-2011 Football Season as the teams in this region will playing these games in the front of capacity crowds.
If I’m not mistaken, next year Liberty County High School will be playing in one of the two Divisions, (Division A) where there will be a Sub Region Champion. The winner (Sub Regions Champions) out of the two Divisions, (Division A and Division B) will play against each other in the Region Finals, where the winner in the Regional Finals will become the Region Champions, and Represent Region 2-AAAA as the number one seed in the post season playoffs. So there you have it. Region 2-AAAA is loaded with talent, and some very good football programs. It seems to me that we are beginning to see “A Shift In Football Dominance From Bradwell Institute to Liberty County High School”. Let me know what you think about Liberty County High School New Realignment, and Classification.

Camden has always had the talent but not the coaching staff they have now. Coaching and off season conditioning plays in an important role in developing young kids for a program and Coach Herron has manage to do that and win the trust in the kids and community.

It’s hard to listen to some of these bloggers when they start talking about their “dominating teams” and having that “winning tradition”!! Since 1976, I’m pretty sure Griffin has won a State Championship in EVERY sport played in H.S. Some of them DO have winning traditions, like Clark Central, Valdosta, Lowndes Co., Newnan & Marist to name a few. But you remember that Griffin never got respect from the ATL media. Re: Griffin wins a close one 42-10, and then, Griffin gets embarrassed 14-13! But, here we are, AGAIN, trying for another State Title!! BTW, this defense is WAY better than ours in ‘78, and we rocked!!

@dakotah — I think we can win it all. As a fan you always have to think you can win. Again, as i said earlier, i don’t know a lot about colquitt, so i don’t want to underestimate anyone that can come out of region 1 and then advance to the state semis. As far as winning it all, the trek to Atlanta is so rough for Camden that no matter which team they end up playing they will not have to travel nearly as far, and has an advantage there. But first our boys need to take care of buisness at Chris Gilman tonight against the Packers.

Here is my take on Northside-WR vs Newnan. Northside is coming in knowing that alot of people already are picking Newnan to win in close defensive battle, people think Peachtree Ridge solved the mystery to stopping Northside’s run game. well what Peachtree Ridge Did was put plainly play great defense against the run for 3.5 quarters and forgot there is more to football than just running the ball! Northside does not pass alot because it rarely has too but they showed PTR that there is more to NSWR than just running. everytime we Threw our wide receivers were wide open and when it counted we burnt them. our defense if you wanna really know the stats have ony given up 21 points in the playoffs, every one else(chapel hill, union grove and ptr ony scored on kickoff returns and field goals)so running on NSWR is out of the picture when they make you one dimentional that is where we put teams in trouble! our offense proved against PTR we can beat you thru the air. so about tonights game i believe Coach Nix has a couple wrinkles up his sleeve for the aggresive Newnan Defense! so if the Ogletree twins are excited you best believe the Eagles are excited about making a statement! We don’t Care about what happen in 2003, al1 we care about is tonight! Remember we play hard, hit you hard and most of all Win hard! Go Eagles and good luck to the Newnan! Much health to both Teams.

Expecting a capacity crowd at Memorial Stadium tonight for the Griffin-Sandy Creek game so you better get there early. I believe this will be the de facto State Championship game (no disrespect to Clarke Central). Griffin’s superior speed, talent, athleticism and TRADITION will overwhelm the upstart Patriots. In my 30 years of watching Griffin football, this is the best defense and most balance offense we’ve ever had. GO BEARS !!
I’d really like to see Clarke Central win tonight in Athens so we can renew our rivalry at the Dome next week. Go Glads!!
To our neighbors in Newnan – GO COUGARS !! I remember many a road trip to Newnan in the 80s and early 90s watching some good football and basketball games. Griffin’s Lloyd Bohannon and Newnan’s Max Bass were excellent football coaches and had some great teams.
Congratulations to all the teams that have made it the semi-finals. We are blessed to live in a state that is so rich is athletic and coaching talent making Georgia High School Football so special.

WAC Just because Camden plays in a weak region does not exempt us from injuries! Last year we lost three starters on defense and one on offense by the middle of the season. Our best running back got hurt near the end of the game against NSWR and only played a couple of downs the rest of the way. Most teams cannot overcome the loss of this many players and still win the championship. The year before that we lost at least three starters with knee injuries. Injuries are something that happens regardless the level of competition. God has blessed us this year. I can think of only one or two players that have missed a couple of games due to injury. Other than that, I agree that we have an ideal situation here at Camden County. If the choice was mine I would put our team in region 1-AAAAA. I would rather see a game each week like we just had against Lowndes compared to what we have. A couple of losses early this year has really made this team better. I think a loss here and there helps prepare a young man better for life anyway. Oh well, it is what it is for now.

Colquitt can win this game. They have seen the wing T 5 times this season and shut it down. There will be no suprises there. Camden must throw the ball to score points. Colquitt has great special teams as does Camden. Camden has a great defense as well. This will be a game of inches and brawn. Either team can win. It will be close. This will be a 7 point game, and hear me now it will be decided late in the fourth quarter. Do not underestimate the Packers.

Add Regions: The Wildcats prove themselves again and again. They play one of the most competitive non-region schedules in the state. Let’s say that they have a weak region. The Wildcats schedule with 7 region games against glorified AAA programs is still more competitive that teams like Lassiter. Camden County played Grayson, who was the top team in the state all season. The Wildcats violated a nationally ranked team from North Gwinnett.

The NHS Eagles will admit to a defeat if it happens and it will not be because of bad calls or bad refs. It will be that they did not play up to their potential.

Sorry to have been out of pocket for the past 2 weeks, but due to 2 untimely deaths in the family, my thoughts have been in other places. But getting back to GHSF, I made a statement after Game 1 regarding the Newnan Cougars. Granted, the Cougars lost 11 starters from the 2008 team. But I saw something in this Cougar team that I have only seen once before. That was in the 1983 state title game between LaGrange and Tift County. Like Tift in 1983, this 2009 Newnan team has the same swagger and the same level of confidence along with great coaching. Also the talent to back it up. Coach Conrad Nix may quite possibly be the greatest living GHS football coach. What he has done with Northside is simply amazing. But tonight belongs to the NEWNAN COUGARS. 13-10 Cougars.

Colquitt vs. Camden is a tough one to call. 2 teams that were not supposed to be here. Camden has been here before. Camden wins 27-10.
In 2009 AAAA has been boring, except for Griffin. Take the Bears against ANYONE in AAAA by at least 20.
AAA Peach wins. Gainesville wins. Maybe big. But Coach Shaw is a great one. He may find some weakness in the Gainesville defense. In the FINAL, take Peach over Gainsville by something like 34-24.
AA-Fitzgerald takes care of Buford.
Lovett sneaks by Calhoun.
A-FINAL: (Tough one to call.) If history repeats itself, the private school wins. Savannah Christian over Wilcox or Clinch.

I don’t disagree, Panther Pride. I thought with Griffin’s defense we should have made SC drive the ball every time. The failed onside kick seemingly put the play calling into panic mode and Griffin’s doing things offensively a lot diifferently than it might have otherwise. It looks eerily similar to a playoff game against Salem a few years back where a couple of questionable decisions took the steam right out of the team.
I’m not saying this to take any credit away from Sandy Creek because they’ve earned what they’ve gotten. Tonight they’ve been head and shoulders the better team.

Old Moultrie/colquitt County Packer here.
Congrats and kudos to Camden..you deserved the win and I think you will win state. Camden is a plain old fashion SALTY and Tough football team! Extremely well coached and well disciplined!
Tip of the hat and congratulations to my Packers…GREAT season in a year that we were not picked to even make the playoffs from 1-5A!
What I am about to say is not an excuse and it is NOT sour grapes…HOWEVER when my packers get home in the wee hours of the tomorrow morning, they will have traveled over 1600 miles in the past 4 weeks to play 4 football games vs very tough competition! Hardly seems fair!
Coach Probst said yesterday that his team was gassed…worn out…NOW before you respond, coach Probst NEVER makes excuses…it is what it is!
Anyway…Great year of HS football as always in Georgia with some great games next weekend! Good luck to remaining teams!
In the meantime…the Pack WILL be back next year!
COACH RUSH PROBST IS THE TRUTH!

Great game NSWR. Hope you take home the gold to make the loss a little easier. Van Brunt just dominated Newnan by himself. First two drives of the second half were just unreal. I think 3 plays of those drives were one pass completed and two Shaq touches and the rest was all him. He played a hell of a game. Thanks to my Newnan boys for a great season.

I agree SouthGARules…but Honestly..they can talk trash if they want..Northside really did run all over us…I live in New Mexico and watched it on the WEB…and after Northside scored before the half to take a 20-14 lead it was over..since Newnan had no answer for Van Brunt…and everytime Newnan had a chance to stop them they would commit a stupid facemask penalty…it was great officiating..and great dominance by Northside…We Know they beat us no trickery and no bad calls..But ENR touted all week that no one could put up 20 points on their defense and Newnan did they put up 24…just not at the right time..the Kids of Northside made y’all proud..and should give Camden a good battle..

I praised Steve Devoursney on a blog earlier in the week. I admire the way he changed his offense in an effort to get Griffin to the next level. It could have worked but didn’t. That part is no one’s fault.
Now I must question him. The onside kick wasn’t a good decision, neither at the time nor in retrospect. He had a dominant defense but failed tonight to let it carry the team. The resultant TD on the failed onside put the Bears in a hole they couldn’t get out of.
The early Sandy Creek score seemingly sent us into panic mode. We were a run first team but insisted on throwing way too often, playing right into the strength of a very underrated Patriot defense.
Did we get outplayed? Yes, we did. The final score wasn’t indicative of SC’s fine play. They took it to us.
Some teams seem destined to always be the bridesmaid, never the bride. It could be that Griffin is meant to be just the ushers under the current regime. I want to think I’m wrong. I like Devo, he’s a nice guy and cares so much about his players but this isn’t the first time his game has fallen apart deep in the playoffs.

GA high school football is a distant 4th or 5th best in the US. Win AAAAA in Georgia and you’re the best of about 60 teams…wow! Win AAAAA in Texas and you’re the best of about 250 teams. No comparison. Watching TX football versus GA football is like watching girl’s softball vs boy’s baseball.

Wow Eagle Fan, the Ogletrees are not the entire Newnan team. Alec did basically everything he could to win the game… can’t really blame him on defense when none of the defensive ends contained the QB and none of the linebackers made tackles. He had a touchdown and two long catches near the end of the game, so I’d hardly say NWR “shut him down.” He will a bigger impact in college than anyone who played in that game… fact.

You can make all the travel excuses you want but leaving Camden in 3AAAAA is just plain wrong……besides they pay those Savannah schools to give up their homes games so Camden really only has a couple of away games each year. But then the excuse becomes it’s not just about football but the other sports. What makes Camden so much more special than Bainbridge and TCC who’ll have to travel over 2 hours to play the Warner Robins/Macon schools much farther than Camden. It would have made more sense for the Savannah school’s to play 4-AAAA and get in the region with Brunswick and the other schools which are closer. Their must be a lot of money changing hands between Camden, the GHSA and the Savannah Administrators for selling out the Savannah kids to the benefit of Camden county

Colquitt good game. Hard fought. #4 is the real deal. Great athlete. I expected to see a better passing game, even in the rain. Seems that you guy’s had 2 options #4 and #22. The QB was not mobile at all. He became a liability against a fast pressing defense. Not many turnovers, the game became a game of field position. Your D was stout, seems like they were programed to stop #32, had a lot of problems trying to control #15. That #93 was grown young man. Monster. The problem with putting 8 men in the block, is once the back breaks into the the second level, you will have problems. Camdens game plan never changed, run,run,run,run some more. On that 76 yard run, the Packers D looked gassed. I enjoyed the game, a lot of talent on the field for both teams. I see great things for Colquitt. Camden’s secondary has come a long way since the beginning of the season, the secondary seemed to be a liability earlier, but they have grown up. Again Packers well done. You guy’s brought a lot of fans as well, good showing.

Just got home from the Gainesville/ Flowery Branch game, well worth the price of admission. The game itself was a story of two different halves. In the first half, FB controlled the tempo and dominated the line of scrimmage. Gainesville came out at the start of the second half and Sims returned the opening kickoff 99 yards to trim the lead to 14-7. FB then scored on a TD run by Cross. After that defense controlled the game until late in the third quarter when Sims broke a long run and scored 3 plays later on a QB sneak from the 1. Both teams traded possessions until about the 6:00 mark when Gainesville pinned FB inside the 5. FB then had to punt from inside their 10, the snap was high, and Gainesville block the punt for a TD (not a safety, Carvell). After FB got the ball back, they ran 7 plays and had to punt. Gainesville got possession with about 2:00 left, and marched down the field, where Sims threw a TD pass to TJ Jones with 18 seconds left for the win. Personally, I think that FB played not to lose in the second half, especially at the beginning of the fourth quarter. In my opinion, once FB fell behind, they had lost their rhythm that they had in the first half. If FB had played the same in the second half that they plyed in the first, they would have won the game. All I can say, is that the AAA state champs would have come from 7AAA either way.

With regards to Texas football, yes they are the best; however, Georgia has the winningest high school football program of all time in Valdosta–in a state that definitely ranks in the top five when it comes to high school football. Furthermore, national polls have consistently ranked Northside and Camden County in the top 25 over the past decade. This game does deserve national attention. While we’re at it, why the heck are you posting about Texas football on a Georgia football blog? Are you that desperate for a fight?

Country Cooking…..: Long time HS football fans know about the Gladiators. Billy Henderson, one of the best HS coaches of all time, beat Valdosta (& Buck Belue) in 1977, beat Tift County in 1979. I guess with Henderson’s retirement & staying in AAAA when AAAAA was created kind of removed Clarke from the mainstream. Good to see them make it back to the Dome. With the population growth in Oconee County, has that affected Clarke & Cedar Shoals or the private schools in Athens affected CC & CS more?

Looks like Camden is finding out what the regular season in 1-AAAAA is like. Great game again this week against Colquitt. Congrats to both schools. NSWR looked the best this week of several games I have seen this year. Should be another good one next week. P.S. Cougar fans, the coach could care less if you scored twice at the end of the game. He was simply playing the odds to win the game. Be proud of your excellent team, they just were not invincable as many of you beleived.

Good game Colquitt!! I will say that I thought Lowdnes fans were much more mature than Colquitt!! I think you need to at least have a little more success in the playoffs before you run your mouth at the games. Maybe it was just the ones I was sitting by but they sure were mouthy!!

In response to earlier comment on colquit traveling. Yes they did travel a great distance of miles. But remember Camden played last week all the way up at North Gwinnet. The region situation is it is just to far for Camden to travel during week to play all minor sports, baseball.tennis,golf, wrestling, girls vollyball, etc. Of course, my brother here for Camden game from South Carolina. He says they have 16 team playoff with the biggest schools based on attendance statewide not based on any region winners. Seems like something Ga could look at.

Yes, it matters when Camden doesn’t have to play starter’s for a whole game which climate’s the possiblity of injury. They are guaranteed at least two home playoff games each year because of the region they play in it’s a HUGH advantage, and any Camden fan that says it isn’t is lying.

Finally it comes to end: The two most over-rated teams in History, didn’t make it: My first evaluation of Griffin & South West Dekalb, was right, the only way they could make past the second round, they had to play low seated teams. Griffin’s first two rounds, they matched up against a 5-5-0 team & 6-5-0 team, then they won against a beat up team Apalachee, who had help from the Ref’s to advance. Then they met a revived Sandy Creek Team: RESULTS : Griffin – Over – Rated:

I was sitting with Newnan supporters and they assured me the twins could play full tilt the entire game. He got out caoched from that perspective. He need defense more than offense. That’s how PTR kept the game close in Warner Robins.

mistermak Northside was winning that game last year and Camen scored in the last few minutes of the game. This a team that everyone said was rebuilding this year and look at what they have done. If they do not beat Camden this year it will be there last chance to do so. Northside is moving back to 4A where we won back to back state titles. So they want to give their coach a 5A title something he has never had. Watch out Camden revenge can be sweet.

Re: dd
When I heard before the game that Newnan lost all 11 starters on offense it amazed me that they were in the semi-finals. Hats off to them for doing the unexpected.
Congratulations to the Northside Eagles for going on the road and winning a hard fought football game.
ENR: I hope you made it to the game and returned safely. I didn’t think you were talking smack in your original post with the smiley faces.
Food for Thought: IF Camden beats Northside, then they will have beaten three teams from 1-5A in the playoffs. There is no way they could play the #4 seed due to the brackets. So, has that ever happened in GHSA playoff history since the expansion to four seeds making the playoffs? If so, who did it?

CougFan88: You have mentioned my name so often on this site it is borderline pathetic. I was at the Cougar Den (Drake Stadium). The people were very nice and the Cougars have a good football team.
A couple of observations: Why did the Newnan coach go for it on 4th and 1. I thought it was crazy. All of the momentum was with the Cougars. They would have pinned us deep and went into halftime with a 1 point lead. I believe too many coaches call games as if they were playing Madden (a video game) or something. It made no logical sense. If Northside stops Newnan, which we did, the Eagles get the ball at midfield with just over 2 minutes left. It was the play of the game and DUMB CALL of the game.
As for Newnan scoring 20 points on Northside’s defense. Any person on this blog can tell you that when you turn the ball over in the red zone and then score that is called “points off of a turnover.” Newnan drove the football down the field twice. That is it.
I told you guys that Newnan would not run wild on our defense. They did not. When Newnan scored their first TD, it was off of a turnover in the redzone from a punt. It was not the Cougar offense lining up and rolling on our team. As for the last score, you can have it. Less than half of the Cougar fanbase saw it. The stadium emptied real quick. Newnan fans gave up on the Cougars.
Say what you want about Northside. We are in the Georgia Dome. It is officially girls’ basketball season at Newnan! End of story, CougFan88!

But also noticed Colquit and Camden players helping each other up after some plays. Great to see that!!

CougFan88: I was at the game. I left when Northside was running out the clock and leading 29-17. Prior to the time that I walked out of Drake Stadium, along with thousands of Newnan fans who just gave up on the Cougars, the Cougars drove the football against Northside twice…scoring 10 points.
I believe that you are confused. The first touchdown came on the first drive of the football game. Newnan was forced to punt on fourth down. Hit was a high punt. Brison Williams waved to have a fair catch. The football hit the foot of a Northside player and Ogletree (#39) picked the ball up and started running. The officials said the ball could not be advanced and Newnan scored a touchdown. That is considered at every level of football “points off of a turnover.” That is not attributed to a defense.
You are welcome to rewrite the history of the game as you wish. We dominated Newnan. The Cougars were a good team. However, we ran the football at will. We passed the football at will. I heard so much chatter about this defense only giving up 6.4 points per game. The truth of the matter is Newnan does not play the level of competition to proclaim themselves the best defense in the state.
I saw both Peachtree Ridge, Lowndes, Warner Robins, and Newnan’s defense against Northside. I would have to honestly say that tonight Newnan gave the poorest effort. I do not believe Newnan could stop anything that Northside was doing. That is not a criticism of Newnan. I was at the game and it was the weakest defense that I have seen Northside face in years.

Cougfan88: Something is wrong with you. I have said on this site for years now that I believe that the home team has a signficant advantage in big games. I said the same thing all week. For you to say that I was talking trash against Newnan all week is just a flat out lie.
Devon Pike missed the extra point tonight because the holder did not get the ball down. I did not see the game on television and that is not something that I caught live. However, I did catch three Northside coaches running to the holder after the play. I also saw many Northside players going up and talking to him. Therefore, I can only assume that there was a problem with the hold. My father is a lifetime member of the booster club and told me that the Booster Club saw on film that there was a problem with the holder on three times against Peachtree Ridge.
Say what you want. I have the upmost respect for Newnan. Newnan has a great sports tradition. I played there when I was growing up in Warner Robins and playing at Northside. There was a baseball player there named Adam Cash who was one of the best players that I ever saw.
I thought that Grayson was the best team in the state. Newnan beat Grayson and on this site I said that Northside had our hands full. For you to say otherwise is disingeuous and dishonest.

At the end of the day, Cougfan88, it would be best of you to help the fine people at Newnan with the field at Drake Stadium. There are reports of bird droppings all over the place because the Eagles made the Cougar Den our personal Eagles’ Nest. The Eagle faithful came in big numbers to support the Big Blue. At the end of the day, it is officially girls’ basketball season at Newnan High School. You boys can wash the jerseys one more time and get ready to watch the Eagles on television.
For Newnan posters to come on this site and proclaim that Newnan was the best defense in the state is a crying shame. Northside had to rush for 200+ yards easy. It has been a long time since I have seen our Eagles gash at team in the manner that we gashed Newnan tonight. Everything worked. That, CougFan88, is a testiment to Conrad Nix.
Will you see it Cougar posters? Conrad Nix is the best coach in the state of Georgia. Hands down. Newnan has not allowed teams to score at all. Northside took our foot of the gas and still almost hung 30 points on these guys.

CougFan88: You said that Newnan scored 24 points against Northside’s defense. I was at the game. Newnan officially scored 17 points against Northside’s defense, 7 of which came after Northside has already won the game and the home side of Drake Stadium was TOTALLY empty.
You are the person that was calling me. I was on i-85 North and you are typing away about ENR. I NEVER said one negative word about Newnan all week because frankly I think that home teams usually win big games in Georgia. I have said it until I am blue in the face. The home team has the BIG advantage. Therefore, I thought that Newnan was going to win.
I was one of the few people on this board that picked Newnan over Grayson last week. Go back and read my picks. I picked against every metro Atlanta team in AAAAA last week. Ironically every team lost. All that I said this week was that the two Region 1-AAAAA teams had “tall orders” at Newnan and at Camden County.
I said that I did not believe that Newnan was going to score 20 points against Northside’s defense. Newnan did NOT score 20 points against Northside’s defense. It is not picking a fight. It is simply calling out your dishonesty.
You also wrote that I was talking trash. You will not find one post that was trash directed at Newnan. I was very nervous. I always believe in Northside. I am always going to stick with my team. However, I thought that Newnan would give a little more fight than they gave tonight.
Nic simply prepares our team better. At the end of the day, Conrad Nix and his staff are the difference. Obviously, Newnan was not prepared for Northside tonight. Briar Van Brunt has a career night. It looked to me that any Eagle could have had a career night.

Cougfan88: They ran out of hot chocolate on the visitors side tonight. I have never witnessed a more hapless fan base. I should have known. As I was driving into town along LaGrange Street, I looked down Spring and saw a series of white flags. I thought that was very strange. Why the white flags? Then, I passed Washington and Court along LaGrange. All I could see is white flags.
Then, I saw the Cougar playing great football. I saw why this team was so dangerous. Then, they failed to convert a 4th and 1 as the 1st half was ending. They still led the game 14-13. At that point I saw white flags in the body language of the players, coaches, and Cougar fanbase.
Obviously Conrad Nix, his coaching staff, and the Northside players saw the same thing. From that point, Northside outscored Newnan, 16-3 before the Cougars got some “mercy points” before and empty Drake Stadium. You guys can talk about whatever you want. I would encourage you to get out and support that girls’ basketball team over there.
When you play Northside, it is mothball time.

OK ..they should take those 7 points off the board it happened before time expired..so it doesn’t count just like the 7 points we got after you guys muffed the punt…your right the rules should state that any points scored in the last 10 seconds shouldn’t count..and anytime a point is scored off a muffed punt by Northside shouldn’t count..You are so lame…the points were still scored on your defense…except you don’t want to count it..thats fine…you are just showing how ignorant you are..I gave Nix his props too..but you are so blinded by wanting to pick a fight…you can’t see anything except your stupid stats that still can’t be verified..

Dakotah: Of course, Camden County can win the state championship. They are Camden County.
Jefferson: Camden County beat Northside in a great game last season at Wildcat Stadium in the 2nd Round of the playoffs. Even this season, Camden County coach Jeff Herron claiming that the 2008 Northside Eagles were the best team that Camden has faced, by far, in the playoffs since he has been the head coach at Camden County.
Saturday’s state championship game pits two of the three best football programs in the state of Georgia. It should be a great game. Hopefully, our Eagles will be healthy. We took some hits late in this game. We lost a couple of starters. Hopefully, they are just minor injuries.

Jefferson: Warner Robins beat Northside. If you go back to Week 10, I called it. I was very worried about our game against Warner Robins. I thought it was a “trap game” and I knew that our Eagles would be on “Upset Alert.” Unfortunately, the Demons could not get it done. They certainly had the talent to make it to the state playoffs. Most people expected the Demons to be much better than a young Northside team. For whatever reasons, that did not materialize for the Demons.
In reality, Northside lost out on what is the 1st goal for any Northside team, which is to win the City Championship. The next goal, which we have accomplished, is the win the Region Championship. After that, we want to make it to the Dome to compete for and win a State Championship.
It seems ironic that the 2nd and 3rd goal could be reached withouth winning the City Championship. I can tell you and any true Demon fan can confirm, there were State Championship (heck National Championship) caliber Warner Robins teams that simply folded after losing in the City Championship, i.e. the 1989 Warner Robins team.
It says a great deal about the character of the teams in the state championship, Northside and Camden County. They lost games and continued to remain focused towards winning the ultimate price, a State Championship.

CougFan88: Did Newnan or did Newnan not score 20 or more points against Northside’s defense. Just answer that honestly as a man (or woman). You knowing that Newnan lost 29-24 and scored 7 points off of a turnover in the red zone. That is 17 points. Is that 20 or more points? Be completely honest. Just this once.
I have not taken anything away from Newnan. They scored 10 points against Northside’s defense before Northside sealed the football game leading 29-17 and going for long 4th downs to keep the clock moving. Then Newnan score once more. That is an additional 7 points. I have a finance degree and an MBA in finance. In my world, that is 17 points.
Help us out CougFan88. By the way, take a look at the first pages of this blog. Find one post where I was talking trash as you said about Newnan and their program. Find just one.
Seriously, tell us all how many points Newnan scored agianst Northside’s defense. We all know that the points off of the turnover on the punt do not count. By the way, Northside did not score against Newnan’s defense when we got the ball after the bobbled snap to the punter. Notice, I NEVER made a comment about Northside scoring against Newnan’s defense. I could care less. I want Northside to win. I do not care how we score as long as we score more points. I will take a 2-0 win. A win is a win. Just as football season is over at Newnan.

Cougfan88: Explain to all of the posters on this site how Northside won the game before halftime with the score 20-14. I am a little lost. I was shocked that Newnan fans have already given up on their team by halftime. You guys shoulfd have seen the body language of the Cougar fanbase. They threw up the white flag and they were the home team.
Heck, Cougfan88, Peachtree Ridge had us down 10-0. Furthermore, Newnan had three straight come from behind playoff wins. I am do not know how Northside had the game won with a 20-14 lead. Newnan’s Ogletree was the top athlete on the field. If Newnan’s defense was indeed the best in the state, you kick the ball to Northside, stop the Eagles, and get the ball back and get it to #39. Then, you are tight back in the game.
I hate fanbases that give up on their kids. Newnan fans hit the exits at the 5 minute mark. The Cougar faithful just quit on Newnan. It was sad to see.

Cougfan88: Northside lost the battle at the lind of scrimmage BADLY last week. We still won! It had nothing to do with my blogs. It had everything to do with the coaches and kids on that sideline representing a long tradition of Northside sports, which I will always be a part of whether you like it or not.
I am loyal to my program. Your sensitivity on the manner is not going to change my loyalties. Northside did not have a more talented team than Newnan. Northside simply plays our system better. It is obvious that most times the team that win the battle of the line wins the game. However, anyone from Peachtree Ridge will tell you that the Lions dominated our guys last week. They hit Briar Van Brunt so hard and so many times, he was knocked out of the game in the 2nd quarter. We won with a backup QB and a backup RB.
Our Eagles find a way to win.
IT IS GREAT TO BE A NORTHSIDE EAGLE!
Like Newnan and Camden County, this season was supposed to be a rebuilding year. All 3 programs have disproved the critics and put together a great season.

OK… ENR…if Northside fumbled the ball at the Newnan 2 yard line…and Newnan drove the length of the field and scored would that be points off a turnover or would that be scoring on your defense…I play fantasy football and they take points away from defense when my defense allows a score even if it was turned over in the RED ZONE..same amount of points taken away as if they had driven the whole length of the field…just saying you don’t have to count it ENR…it still is a stat in the paper that says Northside gave up 24..points just like it will say 29 points scored against Newnan’s defense even though our punter gave you the ball at the 20..just saying it doesn’t matter where you get the ball the defense still has the opportunity to stop them..

I find it hard to believe that anyone can sit and talk badly about Greg Reid. The kid is a beast. I have no idea why he is wasting his time at a bottom-feeding program like Florida State. He should have a red helmet with a black G on it. Nonetheless, our Dawgs have lost two of the best players to come out of this state in the past few years. One was Eric Berry from Creekside HS, who is a junior at Tennessee, the best safety in college football, and will be one of the top 5 or 10 players picked in the NFL Draft. The other is Greg Reid, who many consider the best defenseive player at Florida State.

Well it looks like 10-7 is playing 10-7 for the AAAAA state championship. If I were to go by the Lowndes game of each team
I would give the nod to Camden, as I think Lowndes played with more intensity against Camden than Northside. At least in the first half.
Maybe Northside is finding its offense though, so it should make for a good football game. The pressure is on Northside to prove they can over come that last and final hurdle in AAAAA. This should make for a dandy of a football game.

To Eagle Fan, Cougfan 88, & VA Newnan: All of you are making ignorant posts. Don’t get on here talking about Greg Reid because none of you know anything about the young man. He obviously impressed all of you since you are talking about him on a high school football blog a year later. You have know idea what’s between his ears. He is not and was not rude to his opponents unless you call intercepting them, running over them on the way to the endzone, or tackling them rude. And for the one of you that talks about what your son said about the Miami game is really off base. He played so well in that game including an interception, a sack of the quarterback that caused an interception and several solo tackles for losses. Since that time, he has been ACC Player of the Week 3 times and leads the nation in punt and kickoff returns as a true freshman. So stop hating on this young man who is trying to do something positive with his life. Try getting one yourselves and stop trying to live vicariously through the lives of 17, 18, & 19 year olds. It’s easy to sit on this blog and criticize, but you know what they say: Those who can do; those who can’t just hate on the ones who are doing!

CougFan88: You are acting as if you do not know football now. If Northside funbles at our own 25 and Newnan then drive the ball 25 yards and scores, you can not say that Newnan scored against Northside’s defense. I did not make the rules. Everyone knows that. If Northside fumbles at Newnan’s 20 and the Cougars drive the ball 80 yards, I would say that Newnan scored against Northside’s defense. I honestly do not know how it works from a statistical standpoint.
I know that going into the Peachtree Ridge game, EVERY publication said that Northside’s defense had not been scored upon. However, Union Grove scored 10 points and I believe some points were scored in the 1st playoff game. Nonetheless, Northside’s defense was not scored against. That is how it works CougFan88. You can cry a river to someone else.
You are changing the subject. The fact is the season is over at Newnan. The fact is your fanbase and you gave up on Newnan by halftime. The sad past is Newnan came from behind in every playoff game. Why did you believe they could not come from behind tonight. I know CougFan88. Northside takes away your will to believe. That is what we do to programs like Newnan.

I NEVER said anything about Greg Reid except he was a BEAST! Why are you making up all of these things. Are you drunk or on drugs. Read my post. I just said that the kid is one of the best football players to come out of this state. I just think it is a shame that he plays at Florida State. He is a defensive player and the FSU defense is one of the worst in the nation. The kid is a superstar.
I saw some issues taht the kid had at Grayson. All he did against our Eagles last season is run hog wild. He was the difference. Without him, Northside probably beats Lowndes County. That is speculative and does not matter. Lowndes had him and beat us 24-7 at Martin Stadium.
I am done with you CougFan88. I do not appreciate you repeatedly making up things that I have NEVER said. I NEVER said one negative work about Newnan. I just said that I thought it would be “challenging” for our Eagles to win at Newnan. I NEVER said anything bad about Reid. I just wish that he had a Georgia uniform on instead of an FSU jersey.

I saw him regroup and represent this state BIG TIME in the US Army All-American game in Texas. I also saw him play like an All-American for Florida State against both Miami and BYU, both ranking nationally. The kid can play and a wish nothing but good things for every kid from Georgia.
I wish they all played in Athens. However, I am happy to see them do well. I hope they all make it big and give back to the communities that gave so much to them. The same applies for Newnan players like the Ogletrees. I hope to see them in the NFL one day and giving back to the next set of Cougar players. That is what it is all about.

CougFan88: We can agree to disagree. I am 100% certain that you are inaccurate about points against a defense on turnovers like blocked punt, fumbles & interceptions deep in your own territory, etc. I am certain that Newnan’s first touchdown would NEVER be considered points against Northside’s defense.
Either way, Northside one EASILY! You can jump aounrd about points. At the end of the day, Newnan became the first AAAAA from outside of metro Atlanta to lose their on their own field in the playoffs. That is because Northside came to your field and we made it ours.
We had near losses against Valdosta, Lowndes County, Colquitt County, and Peachtree Ridge. Our Eagles are battle tested. We do not play a cupcake schedule. We physically DOMINATED Newnan. We were prepared and played very solid football. I hope you are happy about the points that Newnan scored. It is still girls’ basketball season. You can type until your fingers fall off. It is still girls’ basketball season at Newnan High School, just like Peachtree Ridge, just like Union Grove, just like all of the rest!

Mistermak: I could have told you that Colquitt was not going to stop Camden County. The Packers were DOMINATED by Lowndes County who employs a similar offensive scheme. Colquitt County has a coach how really overhypes his program. They were forunate to play all metro Atlanta teams. They were the 3rd best team in the region. The chest thumping coming out of Moultrie over beating a team from Marietta, GA was borderline insane. Colquitt would lose to Lowndes County 10 out of 10 times. They would lose to our Eagles 10 out of 10 times.
They would lose to Camden County 10 out of 10 times. Contrary to the hype, the Packers have not arrived.
They deserve credit for having a great season. The truth is Stephenson was much better and should have been playing right now. The Jaguars have top talent and middle school level coaches. It is sad for them

You will have your memories about the railroad and your military services. I will have my memories working aborad, from playing college sports, from playing high school sports, from meeting two U.S. Presidents.
My biography, nor yours had anything to do with tonight’s game. You can direct your anger towards me. I find it hilarious. I would have been willing to come on this site and say good game Newnan and good luck during girls’ basketball season. With or without the AJC blog, with or without the “opinions” of ENR or CougFan88, Northside was going to beat Newnan and Northside was going to bring girls’ basketball season to your school a week early.
Accept it and move your managerial career forward at the railroad.

I was in the 7th grade then, and if I live to be 100 it will remain the greatest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Back then, and when I played, we HATED Warner Robins. And it started when we were little. Since HOCO has came on the scene I don’t know if the kids HATE each other like we used to.

I could care less about Norfolk Southern. If you are really in the railroad business you are aware that NS has a huge office just north of the intersection of Peachtree Street and 14th Street in Midtown. I have not and will not take the time to ask about what is the best railroad. I could honestly care less.
I you guys have a Director of SEC/Financial Reporting position open, let me know. Otherwise, I am concerned about high school football…not your job status or your military service. Veterans’ Day has passed. Tonight was Pay the Piper Day for Newnan HS. Tomorrow is Clean Out Your Locker Day at Newnan. Since you were not very much help when the Piper (Northside) came to town. Perhaps, you will be more help when they clean up the locker room and prepare to cheer on the girls’ basketball team.
Just don’t give up so easily next time, CougFan88.
You said the game was over at halftime. That is absolutely amazing, especially coming from a guy with 20 years of military service. I have never known military guys to just quit like that. You have girls’ basketball season to work on adjusting your attitudes.

CougFan88: Are you really going to pretend that you were not mentioning ENR early tonight before I was even online? Seriously???? I did not tout my academics. You painted me like some lost athlete with no direction in life. I simply informed you that like many people I took AP Calculus at Northside HS and scored a 4 on the exam. I know how to add up points against a defense and I had 17. As I said, we can agree to disagree.
You are entitled to say what you would like. It is girls’ basketball season.
Mistermak: You can play the role of Captain Save-A-CougFan88. However, anyone who attended tonight’s football game passed by the Newnan gymnasium in route to the football stadium. Any idiot could see that tomorrow’s girls’ basketball game was posted. I do not know why it would be so challenging to see that the gym you walk past going to your seat has a game listed for the following day. That is not rocket science. Clown!

Northside (please drop the WR): I think the kids from Warner Robins and Houston County hate Northside now, just as we hated Warner Robins. I believe the kids hate the team with the most success. You know that people hate the NY Yankees most when the Yankees are winning.
I was a sophomore when Northside shocked Warner Robins. I can tell you that no one believed that we could beat that Warner Robins team. They were defending State Champions and ranked #1 in the nation from the first week of the season. It is one of the best memories of my life. It helped me believe that anything was possible in any situation.
It looks like we’re going to have to be Northside-Warner Robins for some time. Did you see the new region alignment. We are going to be in the same region as Northside-Columbus. They are not going to drop the Northside-Warner Robins. That is disappointing.

CougFan88: I played basketball in high school and college. I played tennis. I played football. I can honstly say that if I could have one more high school “sports” moment, it would not be on the football field. Sorry. Again, you have the wrong guy.
You were calling for me before I got to my car at Drake Stadium. Obviously, you feel bad for giving up on your team. I am certian you can relate to the Newnan players. Obviously, it is commonplace for the good people of Newnan to throw in the towel.
There is no way that any person could actually know without a shadow of doubt what was going to happen at halftime of a 20-14 game. Newnan came from behind against some darn good football teams. It is shocking that a person goes on record as saying that the top defense in the state would be unable to make the necessary adjustments to stop a kid who many Northside fans do not even want to start.
You did not know anything. You are again making things up as you go. Continue. This is getting more and more interesting. Maybe the Mistermak can help you with these TALL TALES!

Demon Fan: I never hated Warner Robins either. The coaches tried to make us hate Warner Robins. At the end of the day, I grew up with those guys and I was not at all sad to see them win State Championships. I remember feeling sorry for those guys at Warner Robins in 1989. ESPN was there. Everyone was running around hugging one another. I remember thinking at that moment that Warner Robins would not be National Champions because we beat them. Part of me was sad. It certainly was not hate.
I bet you the Warner Robins kids were pretty happy to beat Northside though. We needed it. I honestly believe that we would not have reached the State Championship without losing to Warner Robins. The week before we played terrible against Tift County. Our kids were not focused. Losing to the Big Red made our kids reevaluate themselves. It was a blessing in disguise. Losing to the Demons never seems producitve, but is was.

I left my office on Peachtree at approximately 5:15 -5:30 pm. I saw your post by scrolling through the site. It is very easy. I drove down I-85, took exit 47, turned right, drove through downtown, saw some nice lights (I believe at a place called the Male Academy), drove through downtown. I was there early. I stopped for some coffee just down the block from a movie theater and the Courthouse.
I was not on the site because I was at the game. You are the first person that I have ever seen on this site call out a person after his team lost. Look at the 1st through 3rd of 4th page on this blog. I NEVER disrespected Newnan. I find it disappointing that you attempt to paint it that way.
Unlike you, I could not tell you what was going to happen. I thought that the odds were stacked against my Eagles. I am still going to support Northside, just like I am going to support the Georgia Bulldogs, just like I am going to support the Atlanta Falcons.
If you do not like the manner that I do so, too bad. I am not going to sit idle as you totally misrepresent what I say. I said nothing bad about Newnan prior to this game because anyone on this site knows that I go with the home team unless the visiting team is from South of the Gnat line facing a metro Atlanta opponent. I believe in home field advantage. I have said it for years.
I NEVER said anything bad about Greg Reid. I just believe that you are bitter because you know that you and the Cougar fans gave up on your football team. I find it pathetic. I can not stand front-running fans. Northside has our fair share of them. They bash Coach Nix one day and sing his praises the next. You should have heard the Briar Van Brunt bashing going on at Drake Stadium on the visitors’ side in the first quarter. Then, he was great!
I like “true” fans. The least you Cougar fans could have done is stay and give the guys a standing ovation or something. They went 13-1. They are one of the best teams in school history. At least send them off before a full house. That is my opinion. You do not have to agree. Obviously most Newnan fans do not. This Newnan team played their last down before a home stadning with more Northside fans. Sad and pathetic.
Of course, you guys had a crystal ball at halftime and just KNEW that the top defense in the state of Georgia would not hold up. Interesting.

CougFan88: If Northside loses by 50 points on Saturday, I would hope that Northside fans have the decency to sit there in the Georgia Dome and watch our Eagles get our butts kicked and then on the final play of the game give our Eagles a roaring send off for the season. There have been 4 previous Northside teams to reach the State Championship. Two have won the State Championship. Two have lost in the State Championship game. All 4 are special. This team is special.
This Newnan team was special. They deserve better than CougFan88’s and Drake Stadium hitting the gates. It was 4 or 5 minutes left in the game. To their credit, Newnan kept fighting and scored to close the game to 29-24. They deserved that stadium to be packed until the very end, because they were special.
Front-running fans don’t deserve a State Champion!

Chris Fowler was on the sidelines of then International City Stadium with a show called Scholastic Sports America. Yes, the same Chris Fowler who is on ESPN’s College GameDay. He went to both high schools and interviewed students. I was one of the class presidents and was asked about what the Northside vs. Warner Robins game means. ESPN was there.

Of course, people are not as intense about football. Basketball is an entirely different story. With the exception of a few places in this state (arguably Albany and definitely Gainesville), people are extremely intense over boys’ basketball. Let’s not pretend that Savannah is this bastion of people who are all about the good of the game and the happiness of the children. I know better. Go to a Savannah HS vs. Beach HS game.

ENR, well well well! You have got to be the most arrogant and classless high school “FAN” I have ever seen. Northside played a good game. Your QB was your offense (no disrespect meant) it is fact. You claim that to be the weakest defense in years? Give me a break. If that were the case I would assume Northside has not scored 29 points in a game in years as well. I admit Newnan did not play well at all. Besides the play of the QB the Northside team did not impress me at all. Any way you cut it the Northside Eagles gave up 24 points tonight! Whether it was offense, defense, or special teams it doesn’t matter it’s still 24! Instead of figuring out a way to not be wrong why don’t you put your big mouth and ego aside and face it, they surrendered 24. 29-24 and in a game that could easily have gone either way even with Newnan playing poorly. I’m sure you realize had Newnan punted before the half and pinned you deep Newnan would be up 14-13. And if I count correctly NS scored 9 points in the second half and Newnan scored 10 so that comes to 24-22 and your season would be over. Admit that! Poor decision by the Newnan coaching and prob cost them the game. So when you mention “dominated” just remember you escaped with a win. Nonetheless it’s a win. But to dominate you must do what the Cougars did at the MAC in ‘03. Congrats on a narrow victory. Good luck with Camden. If this year is like last, and they are as good, I don’t see them being beat.

I doubt this will get any discussion as I expect the blog to be shut down later in the morning when the AJC folks read some of the stuff going back and forth.
I did not get to see any of the games tonight and only one from last week but after rolling up the pants legs and wading through the stink on the blog I pulled a couple of interting points out. It seems last week, PTR played not to loose in the second half. It sounds like Newnan played to win (if I have it right) and elected to go for it on a forth and one or similar short yardage. Who was right? Both strategies worked against them. It made me crazy at times this year for Grayson to go for it as often as they did but when they inteviewed Coach Conn his answer was that he had confidence that the offense could get the one or two yards necessary.
How do you feel about playing to win or playing not to loose? Thoughts and comments before we get shut down are appreciated!

Fred, I am sorry buddy. I was at both games. Peachtree Ridge totally dominated us. I honestly believe that when Northside made that long completion (in TOTAL desperation), PRidge was a little shocked. Bill Ballard is a very good coach and he literally outplayed us with the exception of one play. That play tied the game and that was it.
I believe most coaches would have done what Newnan did tonight. I do not agree with it. Newnan had us (Northside) on our heels. It was 4th and 1 with about 2 minutes left in the half. Newnan led 14-13. If they made it, they could have continued the drive. If they did not make it, Northside gets the ball at midfield. They did not make it. All of the momentum was with Newnan, plus they had the home crowd. The risk was far too great.
Newnan lost two yards. Northside drives down the field to take the lead 20-14. Then, Northside gets the ball to start the 2nd half, evem more reason to punt the ball. Northside would not have driven the field. We had just gotten the ball at the 8 and the Newnan defense forced us into the 3 and out.
Remember you are talking about the #1 defense in the state. Newnan forced too mcuh upon their offense. Instead of playing ball control football. Peachtree Ridge was really unlucky. The game is not on GPB. However, I can tell you as an Eagle loyalist, PRidge controlled the entire game until the 4 minute mark in the 4th quarter. Northside could not do anything against the Lions.

CougFan88: You obviously had it out for me the moment that our Eagles beat up on your Cougars. I am not going to beat around the bush. You calling ENR during the game was classless and anyone can scroll back to see that you certainly wanted to get something off of your chest.
Go and enjoy the girls’ basketball. I will continue to watch high school football. You can twist it in any manner that you wish. I was at Drake Stadium. Most of the best players for Newnan play both ways. They looked tired. They look beat. They got dominated. It is that simple. Let’s make it more simple, it is girls’ basketball season in Newnan.
You say that Northside’s team did not impress you. I believe you. You are entitled to remained unimpressed. It is a subjective state of mind. However, I know, just as the posters on this site know, that most Newnan people spent the week chiming about that defense…the best in the state (that only played one school south of the Gnat line prior to Northside…that school fired their coach). If you have a defense that is the best and a team practically hangs 30 points on that defense and you remain unimpressed, you are probably a person that will NEVER be impressed.
Conrad Nix road the hot hand (Brair Van Brunt). Meanwhile, Newnan made very few or no adjustments and we literally took the football and ran it down your throats. Any of about 3 or 4 Northside offensive players could have gotten 200 yards. Do you want the truth? Newnan played the worse on defense of any “big-game opponent” that I have seen Northside play in years. You are correct. It is inaccurate for me to include all opponents. I was honestly speaking about teams that I thought might actually beat us. I was talking about Lowndes County, Warner Robins, Camden County, Peachtree Ridge, Parkview, Tucker, Ware County, Statesboro, etc.
Northside has played in the semifinal game of the state playoffs 6 times in the past 10 or so years, going 5-1 in those games. Tonight Northside easily scored 29 points against Newnan. It was the easiest game in the semifinals that Northside has played. EVER. That is completely accurate CougFan88. With the exception of the Lowndes County game where Northside jumped out to a huge lead we have NEVER been so DOMINANT from a statistical standpoint (yards, completion percentage, etc.). You can call me a bad person. It is the truth. Tonight was the 2nd most points by a Northside team in the semifinals in school history. I was impressed.
1999: Lowndes County 31, Northside 28

Fred: I believe it is a feel that coaches develop with their own team. That may mean kicking it away and playing field position football. I believe that you play field position football, especially in big games. People may call that playing not to lose. I see it as running the clock and playing field position.
I put the responsiblity of not giving up a “big play” on the players. You mentioned Bill Ballard from Peachtree Ridge. He did not give up the “big play” against Northside. His players did because they unnecessarily bit on a run fake in the secondary. The Lions defensive line and linebackers were so dominant last Friday night, no one needed to bite on a fake.
Newnan went for the knockout in the 2nd quarter of a 4 quarter game and it cost them. Northside did the same thing in the State Championship game in 2005 against Statesboro, failing to convert in a game. We gave Statesboro the football on their side of the field. They only got a field goal out of it. Those 3 points came back to haunt us as we lost 13-10. I believe that you play it safe, unless you have to. I am sure that most people disagree.
I just don’t know how gambling and doing things different than you have done all season somehow means that you are playing to win.

I was not going to pick against Camden County or Newnan at home this week. I am not going to pick against Camden County on any week. I saw Camden County play Grayson in the Georgia Dome. I was not blown away and I would have bet money that the Wildcats would not be back in the State Championship. What was I thinking. The Wildcats are one of the finest high school football programs in America.
I always think that Northside can win. I just believe in our Eagles. However, I will NEVER pick against Camden County. I look forward to the State Championship game and the inevitable atmosphere in the Georgia Dome with these two programs playing one another. I like our defense against a wing T, as opposed to a team that passes most of the time. I like our chances.

You must have misunderstood me, I’m not saying anything about sport to sport talk, or athletics in Savannah (which do favor bball over football in region matchups i.e schools w AAA enrollment playing AAAAA classification) I was speaking directly to the individuals who come on here and speak as if they are responsible for their teams success, its one thing to root for your favorite school, but to act as if you as a fan have any impact on how the kids play is assanine, yeah having a good crowd does help your motivation but if you as a player are relying on the fans to carry you through the game then you’ve missed the point. If it becomes more about winning than giving it you all then again the point is missed. Lets not forget that this is HS football and less than 10% will go on to play college football, not to mention less than 10% of them will move on to the pros. Lets help to bring the sport back to the basic fundamentals and fun it was created for. not a bunch of HAS BEENS (myself included) who sit here and argue whose hometown teams owns another’s when they had no accountability for the win. Again I’m all for cheering them on, but when personal insults and the I’m better than you attitude b/c the team I root for beat yours comes into play you are taking away from the kids who actually matter in the game.
So congratulate the winners, commend the losers for making it 14 games into a season, look forward to the finals and move on, next season the kids will still be in the same age range and we’ll all be a year older and just one more year removed from the glory days were all living in

NHS (Northside High School)–There is a Northside Columbus already, the patriots.
As I watched that game, it looked very similar to last years semifinal game Newnan lost. But Northside got the job done point blank, plain and simple, BUT they are going to have to find a “little bit more” offense than just running their QB if they are going to beat Camden. Glad thats a Saturday game though so I can make it up.

So Newnan didnt make it I figured their defense was great but offense was highly suspect aside from Alec Ogeltree….Lindell Arnold is not a decision maker.Man Griffin got exposed for what they really are I cant say this was a bad night for their defense but their offense man they were horrible at times. How do you call successful plays and then always seem to call the lob pass to negate your success. If that was how a #1 ranked team plays I am ashamed. The thing about it was that Sandy Creek wasn’t even that good they had a couple of linebackers and that safety but other than that they were slow. Griffin’s wideouts were burning em its just Marcus Waller is not a decision maker or THE LEGENDARY DEVOURSNEY is not a genious. Told you your region was weak and so were your first 3 rouns of playoff opponents. So gon head and hang your equipment up and try next year Griffin, you disappointed South Georgia and even though you all made it further you could NOT EVER HAVE BEAT SW DEKALB PLAYING LIKE THAT. YOU WOULDN’T HAVE BEAT CLARKE CENTRAL AND YOU DIDN’T BEAT SANDY CREEK.

Great win the Northside defense stood tall when they had to…….Coach Mcdonald allowed the momentum to shift…..The play of the game was the Northside 4 and 1 stop….
“I told Sanity; right there showed where a first year coach listens to the fans and makes a bad decision” and that was the the momentum shift,,,that killed the Cougars…instead of punting and pinning and going into halftime with a lead……..14-13 the Northside team “as quality teams do” drove down and scored the TD…. 20-14, 3rd quarter the Eagles drive the field… kicked the Field goal…23-14 I knew if Newnan did not drive down and score a TD that the Cougars would not steal the Momentum back…. Newnan is held by the Northside Defense again….23-17 Newnan would never get close the rest of the Game….
Tebow (I mean Van Brunt) was the weapon of choice for the Eagles……..Coach Nix seen a 3 down lineman Defense and took advantage……smart, smart coaching….. Newnan never turned that play to the inside and to the strength ofthe Newnan D…Newnan never adjusted from the half and that my friends was the 141 yards of a 281 yard night….and the dagger to the Newnan faithful……Congrats to the Eagles they played well and Coach Nix congrats on Win 300….

Great game in Camdne County friday night. I do recall some Packer bloggers mention that Camden would not be able to run against a vaunted Packers Defense. Camden ran for 396 yards. I back had over 240 yds and 1 back had over 130 yds. Held the versatile Packers offense under 200 yds total offense. Packers biggest threat on offense was #4. I was not impressed with #3, the starting QB. It started good for the Packers passing game, but when Camden started to put pressure on th QB #3 he dissappeared, also Camden started playing press coverage which took away the slant passes and that deadly short screen. Good strategy for a fast defense that likes to get after the QB. To go to #4 as QB in the second half was a great call. He could not be productive though, because #22 was not able to crack the front defensive line of Camden. The QB #3 could not get him the ball when the Packers tried to go vertical. Packers only running game was #4, their only receiver was #4, only special teams player was #4. You can’t beat Camden with 1 player. Only 1 team nearly pulled that off, that was Northside last year with Xavier Bacon, I can still remember some of the runs this kid had. No matter what Camden tried, they could not contain him. It seems like he avg about 7-8 a carry. It seems to me the Packers game plan was to pass in the 1st half, get a lead, and then go to their running game and run until the Camden’s defense tired out. Never materialized. The rain may have had something to do with the passing, but it was not a down pour rain, and both teams held onto the ball well considering the rain. #4 was showing frustration in the 4th quarter, most likely because he thought he could beat his man 1 on 1. If the QB #3 does not have time to get you the ball, you need to cut your route short, he ran a lot of deep routes. If the Packers could have established some sort of running game, it may have opened up the passing, but since that did not happen, Camden was able to put an enormous amount of pressure on the QB, he was not mobile at all. Staning in the pocket against a defense like Camden, you are asking for trouble. Packers defense held in the red zone well, holding Camden to 19 points. Camden had a fumble and Colquitt had an interception, so turnovers were even. The game was really a game of field position. There were 2 big plays, Colquitt had that 47 yards slant screen to #4 for a touchdown, and Camden had that 76 yard touchdown run by #15. Great game. Colquitt has the beginning of a nice run for their program.

There is always a lot of “should” in the playoffs. But that’s not how the chips fall sometimes. One great play, one key mistake, one improbable bounce of the ball from lady luck and all “should” goes out the window.
That’s what makes the playoffs so special.
@ENR – I agree that fans should stay and give their team a rousing sendoff if they have suffered a loss in one these games. They have just played their guts out and left it all on the field. When St. Pius ended up on the short end of overtime vs Peach County the entire Pius community stayed. It was quiet and emotional. The team left the stadium walking through a walled corridor of fans thanking them for one of the best seasons in school history.
And that’s how it should be for any of these teams.

PTC DAWG – I’m guessing you watched the game on CSS from your warm, comfy and posh PTC abode rather than risk life and limb by venturing to Griffin. FYI – nobody got mugged or murdered.
I saw only two things that impressed me last night: the Sandy Creek kicker and the Griffin defense. How many touchdowns did the Sandy Creek offense generate?? ZERO.
Griffin finally met a worthy adversary last night – THEMSELVES. Neither Griffin nor Sandy Creek were impressive. Griffin made enough mistakes for a lifetime. The defense only gave up two field goals. The offense spotted Sandy Creek 9 points with the Pick 6 and safety.
Beginning the game with an onside kick was very unwise. We have a phenomenal defense as demonstrated last night. That set the tone for the entire night. It is the Christmas season, and the Bears were in the giving spirit with all the turnovers. I will commend Sandy Creek for capitalizing on those gifts. But heck, Forest Park would have beaten us had we played like that.
I hope the Clarke Central Gladiators are well prepared and put a dose of reality on Sandy Creek next week. I’m sure PTC DAWG will again watch the game on GPTV from his nice over-leveraged house on the golf course. After all, Atlanta is a big city with a crime problem. He wouldn’t want to become a statistic.

Northside does not have a great offense this year or did they last year. But we are definitely not one dimensional/one player dependant either. This week it Van Brunt running. Last week it was Masteller, the backup, passing. Some weeks it was ONeill, some weeks Brison. The Northside staff will use whatever works that night or whatever is required because of injuries, Oneill is currently hurt/half speed. Last night the Newnan defense never stopped Van Brunt, so we rode his back. Last year against Camden, Camden never stopped Bacon, so we rode his back. We lost because Camden’s offense was too good and they outscored us. The key next week will be the same, Northside will score 20 but can the defense hold Camden to under 20, a tough task indeed.

The best game in the finals will be in AAA where the teams who have held down #1 and #2 most all of the year will finally meet. Gainesville has a team loaded with talent, boasting 5 legitimate D-IA recruits which include by far the best backfield in the state. Peach Co. may not have any D-IA recruits, but their team is built on speed and big plays.
Gainesville will bring its rowdy fans to the Dome and expect to far outnumber the fans from Peach Co. Peach’s defense has been impressive in their bend but don’t break play over the past two playoff wins over Saint Pius and Eastside, but they’ve never had a challenge like the one they will face in the Dome. Gainesville has beaten every opponent handily this season. Although they played a tough game in the semi’s against Flowery Branch, they had beaten that same squad 49-17 just a few weeks earlier.
Looks to be a the best game going for those who are headed to the dome. It just edges out the Northside-Camden matchup, which also promises to garner a lot of attention.

My team will be back in the dome this year and I will attend again. The last 4 times I attended games at the Dome, it was for the semifinals and I bought tickets for both days since there were many good games on both days. This year I will only attend Sat so you lost money on me and probably a lot of other folks. Also, you denied Northside another chance to win a chapionship at the MAC. Win or lose Sat, it will not be as good as a being in a high school stadium. Get a life and put the semifinals back in the dome and put the championship games back at the schools. It will put more money in your pockets and be a better ecperience for the fans.

Re: the fans leaving early on the Newnan side, they are called “band wagon” fans. They are everywhere, high school, college and pro and in all sports. They not been there all season and are the first there to try and save a great seat and the first to leave when the going gets rough. They complain about the O-line blocking when they do not even understand the play scheme. Lets not waste the time to acknowledge them further.

I guess you must be talking about me. I did not realize that the public blog was reserved only for NSWR fans. I asked a general football question using examples from recent games that people talked about and my own experience watching my home team. If you go back and re-read the question, perhaps you might have some insight that you will want to share.
Regarding losing, yep, we lost. I have never played the would of, could of, should of, if only game that many do although there are plenty of reasons I could have. In the end, as I have said many times, all that matters is the points on the board. At this level of the playoffs, quarter finals and up, this year any team can win it all. Even at the end of this year, unless CC mops the field with NSWR, I will still maintain that any of the quarter final teams could have won – they were that closely matched. Every team that progresses is to be congratulated. So far, all of the winners should be thinking “there but for the grace of God go I” as they watch the losing team leave. I don’t buy into to all this A beat B who beat C therefor A can beat C. When the teams are this close, it really comes down to the “any given team on any given night” and “that’s why they play the game” type of games.

No, not addressing anyone specifically from Grayson. Regarding taking chances or playing not to lose, I dont agree with some on this blog. I think the playoffs are different from the regular season and you must play to win and be more aggreesive than usual because there is no tommorrow if you lose. In the Peachtree game I thought their coach made a mistake late in the 4th with a 4th and 2 at the Northside 40, he punted and lost the game. I thought last night the Newnan coach made the right call to go on 4th and a half yard on the Northside 45 in the 2nd period. The play call and execution was poor, should have used a QB sneak. If they make it they would have scored and they probably win the game. They didnt make it and Northside scored, hindsight is easy but I still think the coach made the right decision. I noticed that last night Northside was much more aggressive than usual, going on 4th down several times and attempting only one field goal and especially the two running plays at the end of the half with time running out and no time outs. In the past Northside has been conservative in the playoffs and it has cost us, see 1999/Lowndes and 2005/Statesboro. Bottom line, in the playoffs be aggressive and go for it on 4th and 1. I think Northside has learned that lesson. If you cant make a 4th a 1, do you really deserve to win anyway?

NHS: It is six in one and a half dozen in the other. It is easy to play Monday Morning Quarterback. It has a great deal to do with your approach to the game. I like coaches who are consistent. I like guys who play field position football and depend upon their players to win the game. I thought that Bill Ballard did as well as job against Northside that I have seen in over a decade of following Northside. I did not see the game when we got destroyed by Newnan in 2003 (I think). However, Ballard dominated Northside from a defensive standpoint. The 65 yard touchdown pass was not about coaching. It was about a player who bit, unnecessarily on a play action play out of the spread. I thought Ballard was almost perfect in means of a gameplan. If I were him and Northside had negative yards rushing, I would have punted too.
I would not have gone for it in Newnan’s situation. Of course, that would fit the more conservative approach that I had. I have the best defense in the state, I run those guys on the field everytime…especially if I am leading in the game. I make Northside earn everything.
At the end of the day, if you have guided your program to the quarterfinals or better, you have done your job. Hats off to the staffs for all of the programs at this level. I look forward to our Eagles coming up to Atlanta. It is a Saturday game and it will be a great matchup between the state’s finest programs.

Todd Holcomb and Chip Saye: I know that you guys attempted to jump aboard the Newnan and Griffin bandwagon. If you want sports pictures of those programs, you are going to have to attend a girls’ basketball game. Newnan is playing this afternoon according to a sign at their school.
You guys need to have a heart to heart with your photographer Jason Getz. Either that guy has no clue and needs some professional guidance, the kid is working for free, or he has lost his mind. You guys get 11 pictures of the Northside vs. Newnan game. You take the overwhelming majority of the pictures highlighting the Newnan program. Look Northside dominated from a statistical standpoint. How hard could it have been for Getz to take some shots of Northside running holes through the Newnan defense. It is very bad work. You guys should take his per dium money back. He stole money last night.
The guy has one good picture of Briar Van Brunt and the kid ran for 141 yards on 31 CARRIES! The kid passes 8-12 with a touchdown and he gets a shot of a pass that was knocked down. Are you guys sending interns out or something? Todd and Chip, you guys should have told that young man that Northside has more wins than any program in the state of Georgia this decade. Probability was that Northside was going to win.
What is the deal with showing the kid Ogletree crying on his mother’s shoulder and lying on the field instead of shaking hands? Seriously. Those kids played hard for Newnan. You guys did not have to show them going out like that. It confirms what I have said for a long time. Northside will exploit your feminine side.
Crying to mother is not going to be the direction you want to move. Momma can not save you when you are playing against the Eagles!

I’ve around CAMDEN football for 30 years, 4 as a player and the rest as a big fan. Gone to at 8-9 games every year most years been to them all. So at least i’ve been to around 275 WILDCAT games over that span. But i must say that I’ve never, seen one team improve so much from the 1st game of the year, to week 10. Secondary was terrible, now they are actually a strenght. Putting Murphy on the teams best reciever, and putting Green(FRESHMEN) on the other side. Green has not given up a touchdown pass all year,since the Hoover game only one all year. The defense is so fast and aggressive. The offense, what can you say about Johnson, I have known this kid all his life. Very close to 800 yards just in the play-offs, And Days one word awesome, and the other backs that come in to give breaks. The change in QB has helped, you may not know it but we can throw the ball, if need be. Murphy great reciever, Simmons, great speed and size. O-Line coming off their blocks. And the D-Line rotating all those Sophmores in and putting pressure on th QB. We knew the talent was there with Days and Johnson back, it was just how long it would take for them to come around. Especially when you replace 16 starters. Most of these guys will be back for 2-3 years. I”m so proud of this team,more than any other in history. No one gave them a chance.

I am glad it was not the Georgia signee crying to mother. I believe that Mark Richt has too many momma’s boys in the program already. We need men in Athens! How about the South Carolina commit, Brison Williams from Northside. I really like the first year coach at Newnan. when his back was against the wall, he did not get cute. He put the ball in the hands of his big dogs, those Ogletree twins. For the most part, those guys delivered.
Everyone is talking about the 4th and 1 stop by Northside in the 2nd quarter. There was plenty of football to be played after that. I thought one of th ebiggest moves for Northside was moving #12, Brison Williams over to cover Ogletree #39 man-to-man. There was no safety rolling over. Conrad Nix and the GREAT Northside defensive coordinator Kevin Kinsler clearly looked at Williams and said stop this guy. For the most part he bottled a GREAT player and confirmed why he is going to play in the SEC for South Carolina.

Once again, AJC completely ignores Camden County’s win over a tough Colquitt County team. Way to go, AJC. I suppose all the articles posted this coming week will continue to ignore CCHS. It’s not as though Camden’s the reigning AAAAA State Champion or anything.

Wildcat Fan: Anyone who does not give Camden County a chance does not have their head screwed on correctly. I just hope you guys take it easy on us in the Georgia Dome.
I saw the Wildcats in the Georgia Dome. They could have easily beaten Grayson, who was the top team in the state for most of the year. I do not really understand why people are doubting Camden County. They secured home field advantage and it was going to be hard for anyone to travel down to Kingsland and win.
The GHSA even gave the Wildcats the most difficult road to this point. I still have no clue why as the Region 3-AAAAA champion, Camden had to play the 2nd place team from Region 1-AAAAA in the 2nd Round. Every other 2nd Round matchup changed except that one. Surprise! Surprise! Camden has still stood tall.
I look forward to the big game on Saturday.

Leslie: I am thinking that the high school staff at the AJC just does not have the budget to travel outside of the metro area. That is the only way that anyone can explain it. I am surprised that a shameless program promoter like Rush Propst did not pay to have someone travel with the Colquitt County team…or pay a photographer to take pictures of him and his team and write an article for the AJC and GHSF Daily.
I buy my ticket at Newnan and receive a program from the GHSA. I open to the AAAAA page. I see all four teams remaining in the playoffs (Camden County, Colquitt County, Newnan, and Northside). Those programs all have great players. Who is pictured? Rush Propst, who is coaching the only team that had 2 losses in Georgia and was a 3rd seed in their region. The other three teams were Region Champions. Of course, Propst is pictured. Amazing!
Well thanks to the might Wildcats, it is officially girls’ basketball season at Colquitt County. I would bet that Propst is already practicing.

our guys played hard last night and thats all you can ask. Camden’s d-line was just too much. we couldnt get a handle on #90 all night…also, Camden blitzed A LOT. it completely threw off the rhythm of our passing game. when we tried to counter their blitz with screens, their defense had the speed to cover it. CC scored on a screen pass on the first drive but after that it those screen and swing passes didnt work.
should be a lotta new faces on defense next year but 8 starters return on offense.

I also like the fact that a lot of the folks like to throw around the term ‘rebuild’ in reference to their team. The term rebuild is nothing more than a built in excuse that fans can use if and when their team loses. The only way that rebuilding ever comes into effect is if a school gave up football and then decided to start again.
At any rate, congratulation and good luck to the remaining teams.

Not really playing Monday morning quarterback. That is the way I felt at the time during the games. I was very glad to see Peachtree punt but I thought they could have put the game away with a first down. Last night I felt that Newnan would/should go for it and was very suprised they did not make it. So there you have it, one safe call and one agressive call, both failed so it boils down to execution after the decision. Northside was aggresive last night and I believe it paid off.
I was at the Newnan game back in 2003. Northside had 4 blowouts games in a row leading up to Newnan. Newnam came in ready to play but I believe Northside was over confident and looking ahead. We had some turnovers early, Newnan jumped out ahead 17-0 at the half, applied defense pressure, and Northside was never able to recover. Probably the worst Northside game of the decade.

I thought Ogeltree #39 was a great athlete last night and turned in a good performance but he did not dominate the game as I had expected. At first Northside had a small dback on him and he was eating us up. They did put Brison on him in the second half. Did not stop him completely but definitely slowed him down, see 2nd endzone fade play and bombs in 4th quarter that failed. Also noticed that Ogeltree did not play with much emotion or enthusiaum, in fact seems as if he was bored and tired at times.

The team: Wow, I have never seen such big linemen on a high school team. Many were juniors so Newnan will be back in the play-offs next year. Up to last night I had given Carver-Columbus the honor of having the biggest team. Strange, we have played each other four times and each team have won two games on the others field.
Seeing that big “N” in the middle of the field just made me think it stood for Northside. Seriously, I hope Newnan is able to go all the next year. They have come so close for too many years.

There is NO WAY any of their fans, players, or coaches would have wanted to face Colquitt County again. Well except ENR who states we would lose to them 10 out of 10 times haha. If we had gotten our 4th down play the score would have AT WORST been 20-20. Go Camden County win State.

Congratulations to both Gainesville and Flowery Branch for a great game. Both teams played with great heart. FB played a great game and that was a big part of the reason the game was close. FB came ready to play and Gainesville came in over confident and got socked in the mouth. I was proud of the way Gainesville kept fighting until the end. That was the first time Gainesville faced any adversity all season. I honestly thought they did not have it in them to pull it out. Both coaches out coached themselves on several occasions. Coach Miller (Gainesville) made more mistakes than Coach Shaw (FB), but Coach Shaw made the most significant mistake. In the fourth quarter FB had a third down and slightly less than one. Coach Shaw put Connor Shaw (QB) in the shot-gun and tried to be cute and toss the ball to a back heading towards the perimeter and lost a yard forcing FB to punt. Connor Shaw is an outstanding very athletic QB. He had been bouncing into the gap between the center and guard picking up short yards several times during the game. it looked unstoppable and if Coach Shaw called the QB sneak, he almost certainly would have picked up the first down and the game would at least gone into overtime. That play impacted the outcome of the game more than any other play. Coach Miller had several of those too cute plays and it almost cost Gainesville the game. I am a Gainesville graduate, so I am very happy with the outcome, but FB impressed me VERY much. They are warriors and almost pulled off a MAJOR upset. I hope they gave Gainesville the wake-up call they obviously needed. If they did, Gainesville should take care of Peach Co. Peach Co. just knows how to win, so Gainesville better bring their A game. If they do Peach will not be able to score with them, but if Gainesville brings anything less than their A game, they are beatable. FB proved that.

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.

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.

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.
