Georgia High School Football Daily Spotlight: Northside-Warner Robins jumps in national rankings
Northside of Warner Robins has climbed 19 spots to No. 4 nationally in the RivalsHigh 100 rankings.
Northside is coming off a 29-24 victory over Newnan, the last of the unbeaten teams in Georgia’s Class AAAAA to fall. Northside will be playing in its fifth state final this decade on Saturday against Camden County, which is ranked No. 25 by RivalsHigh.
Northside apparently has no shot at a national title because No. 2 Don Bosco Prep of New Jersey has finished its season at 12-0.
Here’s a look at Georgia teams in the national rankings:

PROSKILLpat I feel everyone can cheer who want to without reaching to a new low for this blog by refering someone to the Taliban or Irans in their belief! A man or woman can have convictions without some low life as yourself putting them down! Camden is listed as the underdog by many sources and that is fine! An old saying! Actions speak louder than words! Go Cats Go!

Having seen both teams play, Camden will win this one, rankings or not. It will be painfully obvious that the Camden rushing attack will be most successful. The Camden defense will keep quarterback, Bart de Fluggel off the field. Yep, they are from our region but, not for long. Camden is the more complete team and, in a battle of great coaches, Herron will be the coach on top. Sorry Atlanta media, the best team is south of Cordele.

Packdaddy and GoPackGo……….Camden may have run over the Pack , but it won’t happen against the Eagles…… I think after last season Camden and Northside gained mutual respect for one another. Northside knows what’s coming saturday and Camden knows what to expect from the Eagles…these Rankings mean nothing . The only thing that matters is Saturday at the Dome 8 P.M…..Camden is a very good team and Nix will have the Eagles focus and ready…….I think the game will go much like last seasons second rounder ……a battle until the fourth quarter ,unfortunately the Eagle defense ran out of gas…….For Northside to win this year , the Eagles offense will have to move the chains on the ground and through the air…this will keep the Eagles defense fresh……For Camden to win , they’ll have to throw the ball…..The Eagles run defense has turned the corner finally…..Win or lose , I see another classic.

Seems region 1 AAAAA claims the southern most team as a “south Georgia” team. Wonder when Parkview and Brookwood played for the title a few years ago which one south Georgia folks claimed as theirs? For you south Georgia folks, the last time I looked at a map of Georgia Warner Robbins was in central Georgia, not south Georgia. Get a life and brush-up on your Georgia geography.

I agree with Reeze, the rankings mean nothing. I hope to see another close game. If any team in the state can beat Camden, Northside can. They must play a complete game for 48 minutes. I am proud of the game they played against Newnan. They need to be focused against Camden. Both teams have great defenses. The Eagles need to avoid the turnovers like they had against Newnan. It’s going to be a knock down fight to the end! Go Eagles! It’s great to be a Northside Eagle!!!!!!!

USA Today apparently has the janitor doing their HS poll during his breaks. They have Camden Co. at #12 and NS not even listed. Noticed also that there are no players from South GA listed in GHSF top 10 players still in playoffs, nor does Rivals100 have any listed even in the top 100 from S GA. Guess that could only mean you don’t have to have really great players to be playing for the title in AAAAA like NS and Camden County. Most of these polls and rankings just defy common logic.

To All Bloggers:
This is off the subject matter right now. I just communicated with AVikingFan via telephone. I was not aware of this, but he wishes me to share this with the bloggers, and he specifically mention Todd Holcomb.
Last Thursday, AVikingFan was rushed to the emergency room, and as a result, he had emergency open heart surgery. He stated that he almost came close to seeing his last football game last week. My prayers goes out to him along with his family for a speedy recovery.
Todd Holcomb, Micheal Carvel, AJC Sports, EagleNationsRising, Mistermak, SouthGaRules, Reeze, Yo, Slalom, Viking Dad, and those whom are regulars on this blog whom I have not mentioned, lets all send out a get well message to AVikingFan for Speedy Recovery.

To: Where Does It Stop, Anybody who knows anything about Georgia, and has lived there most of their life as I have, knows that from Macon north to the Tennessee border is considered North Ga. Warner Robins (just one B by the way, you should know that too, brush up on your spelling) is 15 miles below Macon and all the schools there are indeed in South Ga. Why else would they be playing in Region 1-AAAAA? Get your fact straight or be quiet !!

Actually, the area consisting of Macon, Warner Robins, and the surrounding area is known as “Middle Georgia” to the majority who live there. “Central Georgia” is acceptable, but not the norm. Macon, in no shape or form, is ever referred to as “North Georgia.” However, to many people in the Atlanta area (and unfortunately don’t know much about the state outside of the perimeter), anything south of I-285 is referred to as “South Georgia.” I hate this and always correct anyone who calls it that. Sad, but true.
I’m so proud of Northside making it into the championship game! I’ll be the first to say I had discounted this year for them before the season even began. Is anybody here going to the dome? I want to! I just have to talk the hubs into it. Can you believe that? I have to talk a man into going to a football game!

A very special thanks to all my blogging friends for their thoughts and prayers. I am getting stronger every day, and WILL get throught this thing. Two major arteries were stopped up and had to be by-passed, and either could have caused me to never watch another football game. I was really thgat close. But thanks to God, my wife, and my friends like you, I am getting stronger each day.
A special good luck to all the teams and therir fans treveling to and from the Georgia Dome this weekend. If any of you have any contact with players on your teams, tell them how proud you are of them.
I will be on the side and reading the blogs when I can. Thanks again and God Bless each of you.

As I have said in the past—Rankings do not mean anything. Northside has a GREAT GREAT football team. For those that think we will have to throw the football to win are wrong. WE DO NOT THROW THE BALL. We line up and play old fashioned smash mouth football. As far as Northside is concerned—Camden respects you. Northside has the total package and the Wildcats will have to play their best game to win. As far as the Packers are concerned—-They have a great team as well. The Packers are good enough to win a State Championship as well. As far as Camden is concerned—-We lost 15 starters from the State Championship team last season and we are playing for it again. That speaks volumes for the coaching staff and players. Camden will not be rattled at all Saturday Night. We will just strap it on and play like heck for 48 minutes. May the best team Win—GO WILDCATS

Seriously, what Coach Nix has done at Northside is simply amazing. I am pulling for Northside in the state title game against Camden.

Newnan Fans, I was in Newnan yesterday and was surprised to see so many signs still up saying “Go Cougars”! I really believed this was the year for the Cougars especially when it came down to the “Final 4″. However, the way I look at it, there is still lots to be proud of and even better things to come in the future. The entire community is obviously behind the Cougars. That is #1. Secondly, the Newnan coaching staff is energetic and hungry. They will be back AGAIN in 2010 at yet another run at being Georgia’s best. With everything going for the Cougars, at some point it will be their turn. God Bless the Newnan football players,parents, coaches and fans. 2009 was a great run.

You are so off-base when describing geographical areas of Georgia. Warner Robbbbins is in the middle of Georgia. So based on your logic, Warner Robbbbbbins is in south Georgia this year because they are in region 1 but next year they will be in middle Georgia because they were re-aligned. Thank goodness you don’t draw maps, teach geography or give people directions….then maybe you do teach – in south Georgia.

Never lived in Texas so I can’t “move back”. Just traveled there with my job and saw a lot of high school football in the north Dallas area. Georgia’s top team possibly can play with Texas’ top team but after that there’s no comparison. They don’t have one or two good teams like Georgia but dozens. By the way, based on the University of Texas roster most of their players are from Texas. Can’t say that for Alabama (from New Jersey??. Alabama is definitely the stronger team this year and will likely win the game. Colt McCoy should win the Heisman based on his college career; i.e. most wins ever by a college quarterback. Which by the way, the quarterback he passed played for UGA and now for the Detroit Lions- Matthew Stafford–which played high school football in TEXAS.

Guess this ol’ teacher is going to have to give those such as Lissa, slalom1, and especially TNGADAW(FG) who was rather rude, a lesson in geographical facts and folklore. I do realize these young whippersnappers these days do not get taught some historical facts that would probably be of benefit at some point in their lives. It cannot all be blamed on the teachers though, based on some of the comments here on this blog, some basic things such as spelling and grammar are going in one ear and out the other. Now to the subject at hand, and jefferson this should answer your question also. Most authoritative sources and references consider the “gnat line” and the “fall line” in Georgia as being basically in the same spot. The fall line runs from Columbus to Macon to Milledgeville and on to Augusta. This is about the point where you can find those aggravating black gnats on the south side of the line but not on the north side. The type of soil changes in this area from north to south and accounts for the type environment conducive to these little pests. For those of us who have lived in South Georgia for years and years, we have, over time, developed built-in gnat swatters, and have passed them on genetically to our kids. It is basically a quick shot of air blown out of the sides of the mouth in quick succession. It works especially well if your hands are occupied with a project and the pesky little “boogers” decide to attack your eyes or nose. Some babies, deep in South GA have been seen doing this “little trick” when only about 3 days old. Now, for geographical purposes, technically Macon/Warner Robins is in central or middle Ga. That is very obvious. For the purposes of dividing an elongated state, such as GA, for sports and other purposes, a line is used, just as is the “fall line” or “gnat line”, which is basically the same. Macon is such a large area that parts of it are probably in North GA and parts in South Ga, but there is no arguing period, that Warner Robins, which is 15 miles south of Macon is in South Ga. You were incorrect TNGADAWG(FG) when you stated that the Houston Co. schools(NS, WR, HOCO, and Veterans), since they would be realigned next year, would not be in a South GA region. The first 3, not sure about Veterans since it’s new, will be in 1-AAAA which is considered a South GA region. They will be aligned with and playing such schools as Bainbridge and Thomas Co. Central (almost to the FL line) and some of the Columbus schools. All these schools in this region are below the fall line which separates North and South Ga. There is indeed a line that separates North and South Georgia, just as there is a Mason-Dixon line (will save that for later) that divides the USA. I sincerely hope this has cleared it up for some of you, especially one of you, and that you will sleep well tonite and HAVE A VERY, VERY, MERRY XMAS–GO NS ! BEAT THOSE CALAMADIENS

I usually don’t read these blogs because you get the classic “I really don’t know anything about football so I’ll say something cute and try and FOOL people with my knowledge”

“The offense will have to move the chains on the ground and through the air” brillant observation.…

Camden will win due to its HUGE advantage of getting players from Browntown( pop 75..mostly my relatives) and Waverly ( population 300).
It is just so unfair that Camden can get players from those huge urban populations.That is per NHS and his wisdom.LOL
I think it will a close, tight game.Both teams can play defense. “He who hangs on to the rock will win.” No fancy football strategy there, I know what you mean. But games always come down to hanging on to the rock, tackling,no penalties, etc. It is the little things that kill a team. That is why Camden beats up the Savannah schools.And win games in the playoffs. Fundamentals. KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

I’m from Warner Robins, but I don’t claim south Georgia. Not that there’s anything wrong with it, but I’ve always claimed middle Georgia. Regardless of the region, Warner Robins is the The Best Place to Raise Kids in the state of Georgia (and I think the third best in the nation) as ranked by Business Week.

I thought that the Mason-Dixon line was here in Virginia not just south of Atlanta. As a casual observer it is extremely evident to me that almost every Georgia news agency reports how great all the previous top 10 ranked football teams in Georgia (AAAAA) are without giving Camden County much press other than listing their next victim. If the Wildcats down media precious Northside WR this weekend then all of Georgia can make excuses for their AAAAA teams and list why Camden County has an unfair advantage. They will have only beaten the #2, #3 and #6 teams in Ga top ten. Can anyone else say that? Too bad they have such a weak conference and still whoop up on the “Best” the state of Georgia has to offer. Can you say “BACK 2 BACK” State Championships?? Good Luck Wildcats!! Be sure to buy all of Georgia some cheese to go with that “whine”.

National polls are useless. State polls are useless. What matter is one thing in Warner Robins, GA. That is doing your best, playing together, and representing one of the greatest towns on earth!
The Eagle Nation is jacked. We could not have a finer opponent than the Wildcats of Camden County. I personally believe the two best programs, and this state has plenty of GREAT programs and many on the rise, in Georgia are facing off in the AAAAA State Championship.
It is nice that our Eagles are getting some love in the national poll. Northside has played 6 teams that were ranked in the Rivals.com national polls in the past 15 months. Northside is now in the State Championship game of a state loaded with national powers. It does surprise that our Eagles, with one loss, are ranked so highly. It does not surprise me that those who follow national football would not have some respect for Northside.
None of that matter. What matters is 4 quarters of football on Saturday in downtown Atlanta. No matter what happens, I am VERY proud of this group of Eagles who have achieved MUCH more than anyone (outside of Northside) expected of them. One might say the same about Camden County’s bunch.

in a discussion of best 5A program of the last 10 years parkview should get some notice. for the first half of the decade parkview was one of the most dominate programs in 5A, 3 consecutive 5A crowns, 6 consecutive 10+ seasons, but its their last 4 seasons which cause them to be left out of the serious discussion (at least buford and even charlton county are still dominating consistently)
as for the other 3 (lowndes, NHS & camden) since 2001 non playoff schedules disregarding regional opponents because each had to play the region they were dealt (advantage camden weak region ; }, advantage NHS 4 years in 4A with a 4A region schedule)
lowndes – out of state = none, playing up = NA, playing down = 16 (8x ware county, 1x thomas central county both 4A powers, 6x against 3A doormats)
NHS – out of state = one (Washington, Miami, FL), playing up = 4 (wr and houston 2x each), playing down = 10 (4A – 2x, 3A – 8x)
camden – out of state = six (Hoover AL – 2x, Aiken SC 2x, Columbia FL – 1x, First Coast FL – 1x), playing up = NA, playing down = 2 (charlton county 2x)
before anyone asks I did not include playoffs (real advantage none)
Lowndes regional champs – 6x/ 2nd – 2x/ missed playoffs – 1x,
NHS regional champs – 6x(2AAAAA – 2x, 1AAAAA – 1x, 4A – 3x )/ 2nd – 2x (1AAAAA 1x & 2AAAAA 1x), missed playoffs – 0x
camden regional champs – 9x (but remember weak region)/ missed playoffs – 0x,
just food for thought

Outside Observer: I am a little lost. I do not believe that Camden County has an unfair advantage. That sounds like chatter coming fro excuse makers. Look, Camden County loaded on a bus and traveled what 5 or 6 hours and violated North Gwinnett HS. I am totally lost on the advantage that Camden County has.
Camden County was the only Region Champion that was forced by the GHSA to play the same 2nd Round region opponent, the second place team from Region 1-AAAAA, a region called the best high school football region in America by the USAToday. I am a little lost about Camden County’s competitive advantage.
The Wildcats play in a region with numerous AAA sized schools which means Camden County is subjected to playing inferior competition all season. That would usually hurt a team. Nonetheless, Camden County continues to win and produce teams that have stellar play in the postseason. Where is the competitive advantage? Let’s say we are saying that Camden plays a cupcake region schedule, which they do and which they have no control over. Usually teams that play cupcake schedules, i.e. Hawaii, Bosie State, TCU, etc. do not compete well on the biggest stages. Camden not only competes, they win as much as any team in the state.
Camden has no competitive advantage except they are better than practically ever team and program they face. We fans from Northside hope that the Wildcats face just a little better than their equal on Saturday night. Outside Observer, I do not buy the talk about Camden County. The Wildcats are clearly one of Georgia’s best. They prove it annually.

As for the name “Northside High School”, how generic can this name be? Also, how many more “Northside High Schools” will show up in the future? In the Macon-Warner Robins area where we have Northside, Central, Westside, Southwest, etc, I ask the question, why not re-name the schools after someone from the area who brought fame and recognition to this wonderful, historic part of the great state of Georgia? A few ideas: Otis Redding High School, Duane Allman High School, James Brooks High School, Berry Oakley High School, Phil Walden High School. Too many to mention. Also, what was wrong with Willingham, Mark Smith and Sidney Lanier? How about Billy Henderson High School? So many icons from the area that I am befuddled by the reluctance of the 2 school boards not to re-name some of these legendary schools.

Sanity Rules, I hate it, but I did miss the game. I have had 2 family tragedys since Thanksgiving and just could not get away. I remain proud of what this 2009 Cougar team accomplished. Also believe there are even better things to come from Newnan in the near future. The program has all the components necessary for success: 1-Great community support. 2-Great coaching staff. 3- Great feeder programs. It took the Grangers 4 trips to the semi’s in the 1980’s before we FINALLY won the big one in 1991. Appreciate the kudos to LaGrange, but the Granger coaching staff has lots of work to do if they are going to catch up with some of the more hungry coaching staffs around the state like Newnan. Unfortunately, I believe the Granger coaching staff has let the players down for the past several years. They are simply getting outworked. Time for a “change in LaGrange”. Good luck and best wishes for the Newnan Cougars.

“Northside” is a great name, not generic at all. When someone says Northside, everyone knows who we are and where we are so you can forget the WR crap.

At the present there is only Northside-WR and Northside-Col. But there will be more “Northsides”. Trust me, I am a doctor. NOT REALLY. But, seriously why not re-name the school in honor of someone like Conrad Nix? Not now. Not while Coach Nix is still the head coach. Just so many great iconic persons from the area. Seems like a shame not to honor some of them in lieu of names like Northside, Southwest, Central, etc.

Northside started out as Northside 45 years ago so it would be hard for a name change. The Macon schools changed their names during desegragation and they lost their idenity and spirit for years. My guess is we will always be Northside. We just have to get that Columbus school to change their name to North Columbus High.

Camden is skipping the Corky Kell classic because the Metro Atlanta teams don’t want to play them. (weak region , right ?)
No metro Atlanta teams feel they should have to play Camden in a play off game because Camden is over rated,( weak region , right?)
Camden is playing for the state championship because they have won their playoff games. If my memory serves me correctly each opponent has referred to that game as the actual AAAAA Final. NSWR beat Newnan and moved about twenty-five spots nationally. Camden defeated an excellent Colquitt team and moved three.
The greatest enemy of excellence is mediocrity.

SportsFan31313: I honestly believe that if you had a one on one with Jeff Herron, Camden County’s head coach, he would confirm to you that Northside was the best team, “by far,” that the Wildcats faced last season. He has said it repeatedly throughout this season.
Yes, your statement is accurate that Northside has NEVER beaten Camden County as a AAAAA school. Camden County is 1-0 against Northside as a AAAAA school. Northside has played Camden County in the largest classification only 3 times. Northside is 2-1 against Camden County. I will add one more little piece of reality. Camden County has NEVER beaten Northside outside of Kingsland, GA. NEVER!
Our tradition is too deep for you to travel down this road. Unless your name is Warner Robins or Valdosta, Northside generally beats you more than you beat Northside. The truth of the matter is the schools have only faced one another 3 times. The series chatter is useless. This it eh first meeting between Northside and Camden County in the Georgia Dome. It will be fun!

Northside is 4-1 playing in the Georgia Dome in the playoffs. The Big Blue have won 4 straight trips in the Georgia Dome. In our only loss, we led Lowndes County by 3 touchdowns before falling short against the Vikings in 1999. Northside has won 80% of our games in the Georgia Dome. Our Eagles have beaten AAAAA opponents like Collins Hill and pulled victory from the jaws of defeat while trailing Tucker 28-3 at halftime to come back and win. The Dome is McConnell-Talbert North!
Ironically, Camden County only has a 2-3 playoff record while playing in the Georgia Dome. The Wildcats have NEVER beaten a program from South of the Gnat Line while playing in the Georgia Dome. NEVER! The Wildcats were even VIOLATED by Lowndes County 30-0 in 2004. Camden County has only beaten Newnan in the playoffs while playing in the Georgia Dome.

Greetings EagleNationRising,
Isn’t that’s what a Coach is suppose to say?
He (Coach Jeff Herron) is being cordial, polite, humble, and is paying homage to Coach Congrad Nix, and his Northside Warner Robins Eagles Football Team. With respect to Northside Warner Robins winning tradition, and boy do they have one. (Who dares to argue that point? Not me. I have seen these Northside Eagles beat down my Bradwell Institute Tigers back in the day in Class AAAA) However; it means absolutely “NOTHING” to todays Camden County in Class AAAAA.
This will be one of the best State Championship games in a long time. Everyone had better buckle up and hold on tight as this will be a true battle where the winner (
Camden County 
)LOL.. Will become the undisputed State Champions.
Oh Reeze,
I was not just a officer. I was a Commissioned Officer.

SportsFan: In other words, you are going to pass on addressing Camden County’s 2-3 playoff record in the Georgia Dome. You are going to pass on discussing the FACT that Camden County has only beaten Newnan High School in the Georgia Dome.
If I were you, I would pass on entering that discussion too.
Northside is 4-1 at McConnell-Talbert North, my friend. Our Eagles have won four straight games at McConnell-Talbert North. Oru Eagles have NEVER step foot in our great state’s capital city and been violated 30-0 as a certain team from Kingsland has.
Camden County is WINLESS against teams from South of the Gnat Line at the Georgia Dome. I attempted to present logical conversation to you when you were chiming about Lowndes County breaking their road losing streak. These are trends that you must follow with any program.
Northside has a trend of winning at the Georgia Dome. Camden County has a trend of losing unless they are playing the Newnan Cougars. What don’t you understand SportsFan. It is girls’ basketball season at Newnan. You are obviously a person who believes that status quo is going to be broken every time Northside plays.
We are the status quo!
The Georgia Dome is McConnell-Talbert North. Don’t you forget it, SportsFan!

REEZE, Very proud of what 2009 Northside has accomplished. I have a question for not only REEZE but for all Northside Fans, but first a statement. For the past 25 years or more I have seen teams rise and fall. They have a 5-10 year run with the same staff, then mediocrity sets in. Those of you who have followed GHS football for a number of years will know exactly some of those programs I am referring to. It seems to me that some of the more established coaching staffs who have multiple championships under their belts are being outworked by younger coaches who are hungry for success. Coach CONRAD NIX seems to be the exception. He and his staff just seem to get better each year, whether it is in AAAA or AAAAA. 2009 may be his best coaching job ever. QUESTION: What is it that separates Coach Nix from the status Quo? NORTHSIDE FANS, you are very fortunate to have a leader of his quality.

Camden did play Newnan one year (cant remember which one) in the dome for the semi’s. We were loosing at half time and looked like a different team after the talking too they received at half-time. If my memory serves me right, Newnan did not score in the 2nd half and we won the game. I believe it was 03! After that we went to Valdosta and won the title.

Greetings EagleNationRising,
Okay, I will speak on NCamden County vs Newnan. In 2003 Camden County beat Newnan at the Georgia Dome 20-10. In 2005 Camden County Hammered Newnan 50-0 and 2008 Camden County beat Newnan 27-7. Newnan has NEVER beaten Camden County as far as I can remember. How about that for talks.
:-)
And that is inaccurate info as well for you to say that Camden County has ONLY beaten Newnan in the Dome. They also beat Peachtree Ridge in the Dome for the State Title. And guess what? They will beat Northside Warner Robins in the Georgia Dome too.
Northside may have a trend (according to your report) in the Dome, but Northside Warner Robins haven’t played Camden County in the Georgia Dome. In addition, Northside Warner Robins have yet to beat Camden County this decade.
In conclusion, you are right. It is Girls basketball season at Newnan right now, and Bradwell Institute girls basketball team will beat them too.
Northside maybe the status quo (according to you) But Camden County holds the State Title.
How you like me now EaglenationsRising!

This is going to be a great game between the two best teams in our state regardless of classification(Buford fans!). It will be a close game, but I have a hunch that it will be decided before the the 4th qtr. One of these superpowers will get off to a good start with the help of a big play. A 10 or 14 pt. deficit in this game will prove to be too much for one of these teams. If Camden has success running the ball in the first half, Northside is doomed. Camden’s line gets better in second half…all but one are seniors. If Northside’s multiple offense has its way early, they can really put pressure on Camden and force them to do things that aren’t their strengths. Take away Ean Days, and Johnson will kill you. Stuff the middle and Days and Darius Sullivan will hit you for long runs. Camden and Northside both beat Lowndes and Colquitt this year. Possibly the third and fourth best teams in the state.Northside has characteristic of both Lowndes and Colquitt rolled into one. Camden will have their hands full Saturday night…….It’s funny, Northside has been ranked higher than Camden all year, played a tougher schedule, has a better record, and a much shorter ride to the dome this weekend….but the overall feeling(even from Eagle fans) is that of an underdog looking to complete a season of destiny! Camden fans, it looks like this entire blog is silently giving you that “RESPECT” that you have been screaming for the past 10 years! So relax all you Wildcat fans, Silent Respect is Respect none the less. Everyone enjoy a great weekend of Georgia football, and lets support our “children” in a classy way as they represent us on the field of battle.

To proskillpat,
I am a die hard Lowndes Viking. I am pulling for Camden County because they showed a lot of class when they beat us. You guys had several calls go your way because of home cooking. Camden has shown good sportsmanship everytime we have played. GO YOU BLUE WILDCATS OF CAMDEN COUNTY. NSWR was scared to stay in 1 AAAAA!

ENR, Northside has not beat Camden this decade, if my memory serves me right, Northside does not own a AAAAA state title. None of us know how either team will respond on saturday, other than how they have played thus far. Camden was not expected to be where they are now, according to all of the experts. Shows what experts know. Camden was a very talented team when they won the state title last year. They knew what they had coming into the year. That’s why the kids play the game. Northside was loaded last year with offensive and defensive talent, seems to me nothing has changed with both teams. Something has to give on saturday. This will be a hard fought game, I enjoy games when there are not a lot of big name players trying to pad their highlight films, takes a way from the game. Northside knows what Camden will be doing, running,running and running some more. Camden knows Northside can run and throw, play action and sprint draws. Defenses are fast and strong up front and in the middle. Special teams will play a role in this game, as well as field position. If Camden get’s that Wing T going it will be a long night for Northside. Those huge D lineman will be running all night(ala last year). Camden will force Northside to stop the run. If Northside can keep Camden under 6-7 yards a carry, they will control the game. The goal is not to try to stop #32, but to control the Wing T. If you stop #32, then #15, #2, and #5 will give you problems. All of Camden backs have different styles, Northside has to figure out which style is less poisionous. Northsides QB likes to slip off blocks,and Shaq is a dynamic runner, unlike Xavier Bacon, who would run through or around you, he will slip behind the O line. Throughout the playoffs, Camdens D line has been smaller than their opponents O line, but they are stronger and faster. Play sound technique, also they rotate numerous D lineman, which keeps them fresh the whole game. Camden also rotates their backers well. Look forward to a great game.
