Another Buford Title
August 27th, 2010
12:14 pm
I’m wrong and will admit it …… Schools can play up to a higher classification I believe, but it has to be in all sports, not just one so they would have to play up in all sports although enrollment would be less than half of traditional 5A schools …… My bad

To all my Lowndes friend, Wolverine Fan is right, ya’ll have absolutly nothing to worry about tonight other than your windows. Pebblebrook is worse than Grayson about being sore loosers. They threw a brick at the cheerleader’s bus when we started our season against them my sophomore year. I’m excited to walk down Williams and go see the Cats play tonight!

Just Me………actually it was two weeks ago and it was scrimmage between two evenly matched teams. Since Peachtree is a 5-A school I would say that speaks volumes about SWD. Oh! I wouldn’t get to excited about the MLK scrimmage. MLK isn’t the same team it’s been in past years because of graduation and a coaching change. Any way the real season start’s tonight……..SWD will beat Tucker. Tucker’s record against SWD the last 9 meeting’s is 5-3-1

Not much banter on the Etowah / Berkmar game… I guess a out-of-region game between a recent perennial playoff team and 0-10 team is not much to consider. Here’s hoping Etowah gets off ot a great start and tune-up before Kell comes to visit next week for another out-of-region game. Not looking ahead… just sayin’

North G is good but you give us too much credit for beating two teams in one day. It could happen though.
North G plays Bob Jones. Grayson plays Spain Park.

SWD Panther Paw,
What are you basing your prediction on? The fact that you went to or attend SWD? Why does playing a 5A school speak volumes when you guys play one and get beat but when Tucker beats one, we can’t read too much into it. Fact is, the past doesnt mean a thing. BUT i have a feeling you guys will cry “We lost a lot of seniors and we’re rebuilding” after the game. Coach Stephens will out coach Buck. One thing you can always say about SWD, they are always stacked with athletes but they can never overcome the coaching. Tucker is not stacked with Athletes but good solid players and great coaching. I’ll stay tuned tomorrow. may the best team win. Good luck to both schools.

Northside observer i indeed pick Newnan to beat NSWR last year and I was wrong we lost 29-24 i think that was the score but I also pick Camden and I was RIGHT and I dont remember the score I know I left at halftime. So I ended the season last year predicting right and will begin the season picking correct. Newnan will be very good this year as long as we stay healthy esp at QB. I expect a run in the playoffs again. Schedule is tough. Lagrange Woodstock PT Ridge the first 3 games and ending with Westlake MLK Stephenson and East Coweta. I think we play 8 playoffs teams from last year.

Just Me……. Where are you getting this from that PR beat SWD???????. That’s wrong. As for using excuses “We lost a lot of seniors and we’re rebuilding” that’s what you guy’s did last year after getting blanked . We aren’t rebuilding just reloading. Time will tell who the contenders and pretenders will be.

Wolverine2Blazer – You still working at 1st America on Northside. If so, your boss’s nephew married my neice. That makes us step-neighbor- in-laws or something like that. I offered you some tickets last week on one of the blogs but didn’t hear back from you. Looks like we may have some rain 2nite. I believe the Cats will pull away and beat Brooks comfortably. Hope Brooks makes it a game. Let me know if you want to go to a LHS game this year.

I think that newnan is a highly overrated team, I look for the grangers to win by 10 because I don’t think newnans defense will be as strong as it was last year. I believe the grangers will win the 4th quarter.
Ryan Gregoire (former Camden QB)
August 27th, 2010

My name is Ryan Gregoire, played qb in Camden last season… I know was a year ago, but just wanted to clear up why I left. I was disrepected, and being yelled at everyday for no reasons at all. All I did was go out there everyday and overcome all obstacles I faced being undersized in size, but oversized in heart. Sure I played for a National powerhouse, but I am/was still a teenage kid that played the game to have fun. I was diagnosed with chrones disease my junior seasos and went through a 6 hour surgery, was tested for cancer, and spent a full week in the hospital. A week later I was back out on the field continuing my backup roll as a Jr. to Christian Milstead. I was promised the position at a summer camp from the head coach directly man to man, telling me I had no worries at all. Well all I did was run that wing-t offense better than anyone, and make zero mistakes…. and he stabbed me in the back. Then I was lied to at the half of the Hoover game on national TV, being told I was going to get to throw the ball a bit in the second half to keep Hoover off balance (which made no sense seing how we were up 17 at the half, we just needed to continue what worked), well I spent the entire 2nd half on the bench, as the leader and QB of my team, and watched my boys lose a 17 point halftime lead on national TV. The coaches came at me saying I wasn’t working hard, and basically I couldn’t do anything right. The head coach never tried to help me out for the next level. Never once did I receive a college letter in my locker, or get introduced to any scouts at any collegiate level. And we were a national powerhouse, and I was his senior QB and leader. So my parents got tired of seeing me misurable, and spoke to the coach. The coach tried to turn things around on me. So that was when I decided that enough was enough. I was no longer having fun and enjoying myself. I’m a bright young man, I enjoyed the game, but didn’t need it. I could have gone off to play college ball up in the Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin ares to play QB or DB, but I love my family, and didn’t feel ready to go off that far. I am currently attending college, and plan to persue college football next season…… I just read what was said last season when I got done, and it kinda struck a nerve hearing things people were saying that didn’t know what was going on at all. I know it’s been a year, but I guess some people out there treat GA high school football like the NFL, so I just wanted to clear things up.

Dont be suprised if Union Grove upsets top ranked Northside tonight. In last year’s playoff game they lost 21-10 but they had to play sophmore running back TJ Moon at quarterback due to injuries. Ty Moore is a three year starter that has won at least 8 games every year he has been under center. He is 19-5 as a starter. Watchout for the upset. Go Wolverines!!!

Hey cane fan, if Fitzgerald is “headed north” as you said to play Worth Co. in Sylvester, be prepared for a long trip. You would have to go around the world to get there and start heading north once you get to the South Pole. Hint: if you are going take your compass with you, or your GPS and set it for Southwest. Some people are definitely directionally-challenged!

Sometimes in life we get unfortunate things thrown at us. What matters is how you handle it. You seemed to have been dealt a lemon. Make lemonade out of that lemon, and move on to better things. You want to play college football, well go get it. The world is yours. I wish you the very best. Better days for you are coming your way.

Ryan,,I mean this with no disrespect intended really. Im a former player also. I have been following Wildcat football before you were even in diapers. You might have been promised the starting job in the off season, but its your job to hold on to it. Ruiz was clearly the better Quarterback, it seemed to me when you was in the game, the defenses was just not threaten at all, When Ruiz was in, they were on their heels. You are probably a great young man, life hands us these things, just in life you can’t quit, you get back in and fight. Thats what I would have told my son, my son I would have not let quit. I was a pretty good DB in school, but I was not into fooling myself about college scouts, some of us just aren’t college football material. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t have good successful life. I and with a lot of other fans thought the Coach should have made the change long before he did. But he was trying to be politically correct(if thats a good way to say it), but he had to do whats better for the team, than what was better for Ryan. If your Dad is a honest man which Im sure he is, there is no way he couldn’t say the team wasn’t in better hands with Ruiz. Some times its the parents fault for telling these kids that they are better than they really are. My son will soon play for the Wildcats, if he’s been replaced by a better player, I will have no problem witht that. And thats something that I, will explain to him. Go work harder and earn your job back, You lost COOL points when you QUIT, you would have earned a lot more respect by working harder. This is what, our Country is built on, hard work,not QUITING!!!!!!!!!

TTTT: You got that right. I think canefan is right though. Fitz should beat down Worth tonight.
SportsFan31313: Very good advice. BTW, are you going to see the Bradwell game tonight?
Can we get past the results of the scrimmages/jamborees/whatevers. They matter about as much as preseason/exhibition games in the NFL.

UG-Wolverines upsets NSWR! Well, let me just say a lot of unpredictable things happen in the early season. Many favorites will lose in the next few weeks but as the season matures you will see the cream rise to the top. No doubt it will be a good game. We had to replaced our entire offensive line and all DB’s. I worry because your QB is super but Avery Walls Mr. DB/RB/QB transferrred a private school. Moon worries me—still I believe NSWR will win.

Tucker fan stop spreading the lies about u beating MLK . We didn’t play that game like a real football game . The Rams beat the Patriots last night in preseason. MLk was trying young players out at positions. The game only went two quarters before being stopped because of lightning. Tucker does not want any of the lions in a real game beleive me.

Haha!!!… Its all good my man!!!… Im sorry yall felt that way!!! like I said I finally can enjoy myself now that I’m done with that program!!!… I never wanted to play QB anyways, I’m a cornerback, but no one could run that offense, so they groomed and prepped me to run it ever sense I was in the 6th grade. Wouldn’t let me go play corner, where I would shut anyone down. But it is all good!!!…I just feel bad that your kid has to go play 4 years for that guy!!!

we are in for a war tonight pebblebrook is a team to be reckoned with. We hope to be able to stay on the same field as them. Hopefully we wont make any mistakes because if we do Pebblebrook could run up the score on us consequently have to use the running clock. Our hands are full. Hopefully Pebblebrook will go easy on us. I doubt it though. hopefully we will survive this one.

Don’t miss Creekside vs Morrow tonight to see Eric Berry’s younger twin brothers make their high school debut with the Creekside Seminoles. They had a great week last week versus Westlake and Creekside looks like they’re set to make a good run in Region 4 AAAA as they move down from AAAAA action this year.
