Thanks Flyer. I was the one asking about Brookwood getting into the dome with their record. Rip off to the other Gwinnettians with far better records than the Broncos. Move over Brookwood, your glory days are over – no matter who your coach is.

SouthGARules- Camden was a typical region 3 team before Herron arrived. Make the playoffs and then get put out the first round.

ENR: Excuses, excuses!!! Had Northside been winning or in the game, those same Eagle fans that were rushing to get the hell out of the Dome to home from the cold would have still been in there cheering and yelling. Unfortunately for Region 1-AAAAA, the BEST in the country, it’s two years in a row that you have nothing to show for it. “Weak” Region 3-AAAAA has at least two football titles in the last two years while the powerhouse has ZERO. Yes, its basketball season all over the state and the fact is Region 1-AAAAA will not be a player in that arena neither. 31-3 HAHAHAHAHAHA

Wildcatfan…….Why the details?…….Look another point is ,if you were from middle Ga you would know that Peach county is just across I-75 , Fort Valley is 15 mintes away from Warner Robins. Wilcox County is near Warner Robins as well…a lot of these people leaving were also Wilcox and Peach folks that stayed over with friends and family from the Wartown ,I attended the Peach and Northside game…..If the game was played either in Warner Robins or Kingsland where it should be in the first place ,we wouldn’t have this converse……..Instead of questioning the Eagle fan base , you should send emails to the GHSA questioning why either a south Ga or middle Ga community should get robbed of hosting a championship game

Yeah I believe that because Dave Hunter was the one that founded the event, Brookwood has a permanent spot. Mceachern also has a permanent spot. So they try to fill in the other 6 spots. For the next 2 years they have opted for a Gwinnett County vs. Cobb scenario. I guess that’s ok, but I would rather see some of the other strong programs from across the state, Camden, Lowndes, Newnan and so forth. Judging from Camdens season, I think it is important for these teams to play strong teams for thier non region games. Camden lost to both Hoover and Grayson, but used that to evaluate and motivate them for one heck of a season.
By the way, Congrats to Camden. You guys are the Team of the Decade as far as I’m concerned. Northside should also feel proud. Their boys worked hard and had a great season. Remeber. every team that makes the playoffs, except one, loses their last game.

Bobby Houseman,
I don’t know about you. But I believe three State Titles this decade, beating every contender in every region in Class AAAAA this decade, and the hammering of Northside Warner Robins for the State Title fr the 2nd straight year tells me that they have earned, and have taken their respect. Good Job Region 3-AAAAA Camden County Wildcats, and Coach Jeff Herron for the great job you have done this year. I believe that you have finally silenced all of the critics, and non believers.

EagleNationRising,
That was a savage beating that the eagles has gotten from the hands of Camden County.:-) But with all jokes aside, these are two great football programs that played one another. No need for the Eagles Fans to hold their heads down. Northside Warner Robins played their hearts out and for that, I applaud them. It has been a terrific season for Northside Warner Robins and Camden County. Two great teams along with two great Coaches. I look to see next year as both teams regroup again for another successful season in their respective classifications. Again, the Class AAAAA State Title comes back to South Georgia, and to the so called weak Region of 3-AAAAA. Congratulations again to the Camden County Wildcats.

Those camden kidsare drinking that south GA swamp water. It has all kinds of pollutants and toxins in it to make those boys super human thats why they were able to run over Northside like semi trucks

congrats to camden county! i was at the lowndes game and was impressed by your team and fans. you guys show alot of class. i would also like to wish northside the best as they move to AAAA. they are a quality opponent that can play with anyone in the state. we have enjoyed our battles with each of you and look forward to some more. i really believe that the teams from the south are put at a disadvantage against the atlanta area teams. valdosta has always been hated by the atlanta schools over the years. they will always be the measuring stick for successful programs. i feel atlanta area schools have take offense to this and have decided to do something about this. you can say what you like, but south georgia football over the years has tremendous.

Rivals.com ranked Northside as #4 and Gainesville as the #47 team in the NATION. Where does that place Peach Co? When the rankings come out tomorrow, Peach County should be in the top 40, if not 30.
Over the past 20 years, Peach Co is 207-48, with 11 region championships, 6 trips to the state championship game, 3 state titles, a 5-0 record in the Georgia Dome, and have sent 5 players into the NFL. This was all done without recruiting a single player. Very few teams, if any, even come close to this. Not Buford, Camden, not Northside, not Valdosta, not Parkview, and not Lowndes.
Peach Co.’s body of work is hard to match. Any takers?

2 questions for everyone here.
Is there a limit on the number of players a team is allowed to have? I noticed that some of the lower classes a thru aaaa had more players than a lot of class aaaaa teams. Never really paid attention to it before untill this weekend at the dome.
Didnt I read that (the wing t is dead and the spread is the way) some where on here last month? Saw a lot of running this weekend.

ENR,
I believe that Sandy Creek had the largest attendance at the dome not Northside.
It would be interesting to see some official stats.

Thanks Sailor for opening the eyes to some of those non believers/followers of our Great Trojan Dynasty. Not only are those young men finely tuned athletic machines, they also excel in academics as well.

Just wanted to say thanks to AJC! Yes you kept us in the standing after we had lost two games. If I remember correctly you also chose both Greenville and Weslyan to put us out of the playoffs. I have said all season not to underestimate Wilcox. Our boys play with a lot of heart and commitment and that is what showed in the dome on Saturday. Nick Marshall is a SUPER athlete and a great team leader. He would appreciate all the calls for someone to offer him a Div 1 scholarship. Just do not be surprised if he refused. Nick is the high scorer for our basketball team that finished up in the final four last year and have every intention of bring another state championship home to Wilcox! Great Job Patriots!!!

EaglreNationRising – I raised two sons also and am proud that they both have graduated from college after playing football and baseball for Lowndes. I took them to Lowndes games from the day they were born. We NEVER left a game early, win or lose. If my team was on the field, my boys and I were in the stands along with my wife. You admitting leaving the Northside vs Warner Robins game early as you did the most recent game with Camden. I am in no way lecturing you, or talking down to you, but I am telling you when your players look up into the stands they DESERVE to see their fans still in their seats. Leaving early when losing is simply INEXCUSABLE. So don’t even go there and try to make a reason or excuse for it.
To Northside WR – ya’ll come back to region 1AAAAA when you think your team is ready to win with the big boys.(Just one last poking fun jab, ENR, take it easy on Jaybo next year.) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. To you too, Reese and Northside Observer!

Northside fans had no reason to leave that Dome early. I still can’t believe they did that to their football team. Reese, you may travel well, but your pretty poor sports. Winning ain’t evetything.

Many Northside fans left because they were embarrassed to watch that beating. They can dish it out, but they can’t take it. You can use the weather as an excuse if you want to, but everyone knows why you left early. That was a beat down!

Wouldnt the top 3 football programs of the decade have to be Camden County, Buford, and Lowndes, based the number of state titles they have won.

Thanks to all the people who believed in Buford. Lovett was a good team and losing to them made our team stronger and closet. Also to add it should have been Fitzgerald that we played in the dome, not Calhoun. It would have been a much more exciting game And they would have deserved it.
