Class AAAAA goes topsy turvy: It’s 2006 all over again

umm…Lowndes is still a premier program in 5A, nobody would be surprised if they win it all. It’s not like 5A is a total shocker.

well last week i predicted NG and Camden to win. boy was i wrong. but hey good game grayson. yall played to your potential and NG played absolutely awful the first half. At this point I have no clue who could win it all. I think the collins hill-Lowndes game could be the best game next week but hey what do i know. man was that a disappointing loss last night though. One good thing i can take away from it is that that Soph. DL for grayson has verbally committed to UGA, or so I hear. anyways I wish every team good luck the rest of the playoffs and for injury free football.

All I can say is WOW!!!!! Some Major upsets occurred last night. I was Hood Winked. I would have never believed that a Hillgrove would be a Camden County Nor did I believe that Grayson would beat a North Gwinette. Who will be the next Class AAAAA State Champions? Can Lowndes do it? Can Valdosta do it? Could Grayson sneak back in and do it? My prediction went haywire….

Why is there “never” anything said about Collins Hill High School? We have quietly continue to improve and compete and dominate our AAAAA competition. Still, there is “no” coverage of what is going on with our “outstanding” football team. The Gwinnett Daily Post continues to be the “lone” sourse of coverage of our school and it’s weekly progress.

topper I would say very good at Lowndes for sure. The Atlanta area schools usually leave us a lot of seats unsold. Then add to the fact that Valdosta is playing in town means their fans will be there instead of the ones who don’t travel coming over to Lowndes.

My gut feeling is at either location (since we are playing two Gwinnett schools) the chances are good. Especially at Lowndes where the visitors side is considerably bigger.

@ ghsfa daily, you must be from atlanta saing lowndes has had a cakewalk . go get on the idiot blog because that is where your bogus comments belong. sorry that south ga teams dominate year in and year out . lowndes is a great team and they will have thier work cut out for them if they win it all. newnan was hot wining 6 of 7 and whupping a south cob team that beat hillgrove to which beat and knocked out camden. read your post and think about how dumb you sound. lowndes beat mceachern. your pathetic atl refs and mceachern timekeeper screwd us out of the W. who cares, we beat valdosta and they went to mceachern and beat refs, indians, and another screwy clock. they at home we not. lowndes will have to earn a title and if they do it will just add to the souths dominace. i can assure you a n ga team will not win it all. i defend my vikings when people try to downgrade what they have done. they are just another great lowndes team

I saw Valdosta when they played MLK then I saw them yesterday. Man have they gotten even better. The South Georgia teams (Valdosta, Lowndes and Colquitt) can not take the Gwinnett County teams coming down there next Friday lightly because they are good. I live in the McEachern/Hillgrove area and I am pleased how a team (Hillgrove) that just entered Class 5A beat the number 1 team (Camden County). Many teams have played Camden and have been knocked out of the playoffs.

Hmmmm, with all that outstanding reporting you neglected to mention the team that is playing maybe the best football right now in AAAAA. Mill Creek just dismantled a team that played Lowdnes close to start the season that beat MLK the next week. South Gwinnett is a good football team and Mill Creek simply dominated them. And oh yes, that same South Gwinnett team beat Grayson a few weeks ago. As the poster Rufus said above, it would be a huge mistake to overlook Mill Creek right now. If you do, you do so at your own peril.

sickandtired the Lowndes and South Gwinnet game wasn’t that close.

Game was about 23-0 Lowndes until Lowndes went into a 6 minute sleep walking episode in the 3rd quarter. The reality is I feel South Gwinnett was about the 5th best team we played this year at best.

I never saw South Gwinnett as all that good of a football team.

Congrats to Lowndes we in Newnan will be cheering from you the rest of the way! Yall were the better team and went away with the win but I just wish the score wasnt so bad because it didn’t reflect how evenly matched the teams were. Until Lowndes forced us out of our comfort zone that game was deadlocked and so even then it was just a snowball effect and our qb lost control. Lowndes deserved to win and they are a great team but Newnan didnt show up the last 26 minutees of the game and thats a shame. Still proud to be a Cougar and will cheer for those south Georgia vikings the rest of the way!

newnancougar, nice post. game was close until late in 2nd qtr and then lowndes took over and dominated rest of game. your qb lost control bc he was playing against the est defemse he has seen all year. those picks (3) were a result of how good lowndes d was, not him losing control. Teams were not evenly matched. Newnan has a lot of talent yes and some big kids, but to get whupped 38-7 (varsity vs varsity in only 3 qtrs, bc jv played entire 4th) shows that teams were not evenly matched. This is my opinion. Not trtying to be rude but to ay teams were evenly matched just seems like you are trying to make urself feel better

@BKSMITH14. You mentioned something in one of your post about South Cobb beating Hillgrove. One thing you should know about that game is the fact that Hillgrove played that game without their starting QB or running back, both were out due to injuries. Even then they only lost the game by a single point. I’m just saying I wouldn’t under estimate Hillgrove.

Grayson fans … best to get off at I-75 Exit 18, left on St. Augustine (Hwy 133), left on Gornto Rd in front of Valdosta Mall, right on Baytree Rd, go two miles until it runs into Valdosta State University, then right on Oak St (VSU parking lot will be on your right after the turn), then left on Brookwood Dr, go to next traffic light which is Patterson St. Cleveland Field / Bazemore-Hyder Stadium is one more block on Brookwood on the right, and Drexel Park is on the left, north of the stadium. But you will have to park before you get to this point. So if you are there early enough, turn right on Patterson and then the parking lot is on your left in front of the VSU buildings (at SE corner Brookwood & Patterson). Or if you arrive after 7:00 best bet is to just park in the main VSU parking lot which again will be on your right after you turn onto Oak St from Baytree Rd. Then you will walk two blocks down Brookwood Dr, across Patterson St, go one more block, and the stadium is on your right. You’ll see the stadium lights from the VSU parking lot.

Early weather reports say good chance of rain Friday but too early to be sure yet.

Seating capacity for visitors side at Cleveland Field is no more than 4,000. Total capacity about 11,000.

For Collins Hill, Martin Stadium has about 5,000 seats on its visitors side, with about 12,000 total capacity. After you get off I-75 Exit 18, take left on St. Augustine (Hwy. 133) go 7/10 mile, take right on Norman Dr (@ Chick Fil-A), and the Lowndes High school and stadium entrance is just down on your right.

Traffic will be backed up tightly from I-75 Exit 18 down St. Augustine Rd and Norman Dr all the way into the school campus. Suggest you get there early.

In addition to the several hotels at Exit 18, there are also several at Exit 16, and a couple on Norman Dr south of Lowndes next to Wal-Mart.

Remember too that it’s the Friday after Thanksgiving, and although we are not Atlanta with its massive traffic problems, we have thousands of local and regional shoppers who will be in this area not attending the game. It will be a very busy place around Exit 18 and the Mall area this Friday afternoon and night for our area.

For all fans of these two games (Grayson-Valdosta and Lowndes-Collins Hill), believe it or not this is the first time ever that both Lowndes and Valdosta have hosted a quarterfinal playoff game on the same night in our little city (125,000 metro population). I hope somebody with more authority and clout than me is preparing a game plan to accomodate our visitors from Gwinnett County — like our city and county and VSU officials, governments, and law enforcement.

Again, welcome Grayson and Collins Hill to Valdosta-Lowndes County!

Fred: There will be no doubt come Friday. These games have everything. It is North vs South..Gwinnett vs Region 1..I mean it couldn’t have been written any better. This is very exciting and scary at the same time. Basically who ever wins these games will have region supremacy. So if you look at it like that the debate will soon be over. The fans will look ahead to the future maybe on both sides but there is little doubt that the coaches and kids are only focused on this week. There are no gimmies in the third round of the playoffs. It is put up or shut up time for Region 1 and Gwinnett. I for one cannot wait to see what will happens.

BKSMITH14 You shouldn’t compare scores from games to justify your predictions. Match ups are what determine the outcome of games. You have brought up the Hillgrove loss to S Cobb multiple times. That game was 2 months ago. If you know anything about football you know teams should get better as the year goes. Yeah, the injured players didn’t give up 20 points, but the 14 year old freshman QB isn’t your 18 year old senior QB. Lets see Lowndes or Valdosta or any team play with their 14 year old freshman QB and see what the outcome is.

maddball: Region 1-AA has 4 teams still in the title hunt. Cook, Fitzgerald, Thomasville & Brooks County.
The Lowndes-South Gwinnett game was not as close as the final score indicated.
1) South scored on the final play of the game to draw within 34-26.
2) South scored 2 TD’s off of special teams-fake punt for a TD & a blocked punt recovered @ Lowndes 5 yd line.
South’s weakness was & is their defense. Mill Creek’s defense is no great shakes either.

Hmmm = Black Friday, Raider Friday?
I guess all the CC posters are gone but I don’t think they had a bad night. I think they were out-coached and out-played just a little. As their posters claimed, they were faster than we were and they threw the ball better. We ran better, threw the ball well enough, and in the end our D stepped up and made two big plays, stopping their QB on 4th and a foot in the first half, and taking the ball from him in the 2nd half. Game could have gone either way, but if they were #2, what does that make the Raiders?
So now it’s on to Starr’s Mill and another high flying, undefeated team. I’m not looking ahead by any means. Starr’s Mill looks loaded on both sides of the ball and I’m sure the AJC will pick against us again and the computer will have us as 19 point underdogs this week. But if we persevere, what do we get? Anoher road trip to another high flying undefeated team? I think Tucker is the better team, but I’m pulling for our southern brethren in this one.
Go Ware County! Go Gators!!!

GHSFB Daily – I think you are dissing a good Newnan team by saying Lowndes has had a cake walk to the 1/4 finals. And dissing Lowndes too! Newnan beat MLK and lost to Stephenson 17-14 (or something like that). Newnan could have defeated a whole bunch of your favorite Gwinnett County Soccer Mom Silver Spoon football teams. Broaden your horizons. Listen to EagleNationRisings’ advice when he tells you over and over to stop drinking that North Gwinnett koolaid year after year. I have said on these blogs over and over, Gwinnett County in its history has only won 41/2 titles in the state’s largest school classification. In History. Take away one good Parkview class and Gwinnet’s record would be SHAMEFUL.

Rancher – Reference your question about dividing proceerds from teh playoff games. The GHSA gets a per cent off the top. I’m not sure of the amount, but will find out tomorrow if you want me to. Then, the visitors travel expenses are paid, so much per mile. After that, the proceeds are split 50/50, no matter how many tickets the visitors buy. The home team pays for stadium security, clean up after the game in the stadium and parking lot, the lights and phone lines to the press box, and the referees, all out of the home teams share of the proceeds.

Sportsfan31313 – Correcting one of your above posts. Lowndes does NOT play Valdosta this week. If we play them again it can only be for the title in the dome.

To all Collins Hills Fans. Lowndes posters have said for weeks how good we think your team is and especially your QB. We look forward to the challenge. After the game last Friday when we talked to your coach about this coming week and asked how many tickets he wanted us to send, he shocked a lot of us when he said “none” and that he didn’t have time to get involved with ticket sales. That came right after Newnan only requested 500 tickets, and returned over 300 to us on Friday. You can ask McEachern, Camden, and Northside, when Lowndes travels we will take upwards of 5000 fans most of the time. There were barely two adult fans per football player last Friday from Newnan, and certainly not one adult fan for each band member. Heck Groves from Savannah brought less than 20 adult fans the week before.

To all Newnan fans – you team look good and you should be really good next year. Your fans that came were quite noisy and loud. We loved some of their cheers! Good luck next year.

How many remember I said Valdosta would beat McEachern, Ware would beat White Water, and was about the only poster on these blogs who said Grayson would beat North Gwinnett. I did miss the Hillgrove defeat of Camden, and I apologize to a good Hillgrove team! To Camden, come over to Lowndes and jump aboard our bandwagon ther rest of the year. We need all the help we can get.

@ bigdog58…

I soooooo want to comment about your post about TUCKER being the BEST AAAA team but I will “HOLD MY THOUGHTS” and comments until AFTER friday night! Then we can AND WILL talk about Adams stadium, your metal detectors at the gate and several other things!!! I grew up over there and we played at the old Panthersville Stadium so I do know about the municipal stadium setup DeKalb has.

Of COURSE all the RAIDER faithful are pulling for a WARE CTY upset so we can HOST another playoff game!!!

BUT not to get ahead of myself…AGAIN…The RAIDER NATION is heading south to STARR’S MILL this friday and on paper STARR’S MILL seems LOADED…they scored 338 points during the regular season for an average of 33.8 points per game while giving up a VERY stingy 79 points only 7.9 pts per game…this seems impressive, then again, Hmmmmm!:

They are another undefeated team at 12 / 0…BUT they play in Region 3 AAAA a VERY weak region and of their 10 regular season wins 1 came against a 5/5 AA team, another 7 of the wins came against AAAA teams…one that went 1/9, two that went 2/8, three that went 3/7 and one that went 5/5 on the year! Of the 10 regular season wins STARR’S MILL only played 2 teams with winning records ALL YEAR…WHITEWATER who finished 9/3 (they BARELY beat 21/14) and GRIFFIN who finished 10/2!

Even in the playoff rounds they got HARDAWAY a 5/5 team in the 1st round and BRUNSWICK at 8/3 in the 2nd round…So a BIG question is HAVE THEY BEEN TESTED YET?????

EAST PAULDING PLAYS in REGION 5 AAAA arguably the toughest region in AAAA…with KELL, EAST, HIRAM & POPE stacked in 5N (we have to play the split region) and SOUTH PAULDING, VILLA RICA & DOUGLAS COUNTY at the top of the SOUTH side!

EAST PAULDING also scored an impressive 332 points during the regular season to average 33.2 points per game while only allowing 117 points or 11.7 per game! The difference is the teams they did this against!

Finally while STARR’S MILL played a 5/5 HARDAWAY & a 8/3 BRUNSWICK to advance to the 3rd round friday night…EAST PAULDING’S RAIDERS just beat the #2 TEAM in the STATE…CLARKE CENTRAL in ATHENS on the road!

Just a few FACTS for thought and discussion the rest of the week…

TICK…TICK…TICK…BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!

GO RAIDERS!!!!!…ON TO THE DOME!!!!!

@AVikingFan – I know you might not believe this, but we Atlantan’s/metro Atlantan’s don’t live in a fairly rural area like south GA. There are a million things going on in this area that occupy the time of many people besides high school football. While I do attend a game every Friday night, many families have kids that are going in many directions with other sports or just have other recreations. Just because everyone associated with a metro school doesn’t travel to distant locations for HS games, doesn’t mean that they are any less supportive of their team. They may just happen to have other things going on their lives. But we know ya’ll get excited about going to the big city. I have family that live all over different sections of south GA as well as north GA, there’s no comparison, when given the chance on a long weekend I’ll go north everytime.

North Gwinnett’s band was bad all night. They kept playing while the Rams were running a play which is apparently against the rules. Twice the ref stopped play and went back and said something to them.
But overall the people at North Gwinnett were great and the band kids were probably just a little carried away with the excitement of a big game.

JIMB i have a couple of questions. We know Mill Creek is good, heck you have to be to make it this far.#1 Who is this fullback we have been hearing about? #2Who and how many yards have your leading rusher,leading reciever and passer have? #3 Whats the avg weight of your OL and DL? We dont know much about them.

Hillgrove, great game plan. Lot’s of talent on your team. Remember thid may only be the beginning for your program. Good luck the rest of the way. #22 is the real deal. You left an impression on GA high school football. Most of all I don’t think Camden will forget you dancing on the paw at the 50. Something they will file away and the fans will talk about for a while.

goldenglove002: Grayson’s QB had a broken hand when the Rams played Kell in the dome. He only played a couple of snaps. Against North he was under center calling signals and the ref was well behind him when the ref blew the whistle and turned around to talk to the band. I guess its possible he said something to the ref before they huddled but if so hes was probably instructed to do it by a coach.

DIG and JIMB-I too choose to leave metro Atlanta to raise my children in S GA-while everyone knows ATL has shopping, plays, sports teams, concerts/events, etc. I also know the myriad of developments where most don’t know their neighbors, spend upwards to an hour or more to go 5-7 miles in traffic, etc. I don’t take offense or would never take a condescending tone towards anyone living in ATL-so I chose Friday night football, festivals, school functions, shopping,etc here in Valdosta. I also chose to travel 1-3.5 hours and can be in T’hassee, J-ville, Orlando, ATL, PC Beach, Tampa area, Savannah- not to make one loop around I-285 most afternoons-Been there and don’t choose that-

STARR’S MILL is on a GREAT run regardless of their opponents…UNDEFEATED is still UNDEFEATED and playing at home is going to give them added incintive. EAST travels well and plays good on the road, also on paper these teams “APPEAR” to match up well.

GOOD LUCK with your game also as I would LOVE to see an EAST PAULDING / TUCKER match-up, HOWEVER I will admit I would rather have WARE COUNTY win so we could have another home playoff game in “THE BONEYARD”!!!

I have always been associated with the larger classifications 4 and 5A schools but this year I have been following single A. They don’t get a lot of attention on these blogs. I have watched ELCA play and they are very good. There is do doubt in my mind that they could compete with many teams in higher classifications. They lost the coin toss and have to travel down to #1 Clinch; it should be a good one.

If hot air on this blog would win a championship, due to the efforts of a few folks here, Lowndes would win 1000 to minus 100, and that would be just after the first quarter.

I consider Hillgrove to be a favorite Friday, simply because I would have given Brookwood NO chance of beating Camden at Camden. Playing Camden at Camden was one heck of an accomplishment for Hillgrove, or for any other football program anywhere in any State. They have to be the real deal. A good team will be able to run on Brookwood, and pass defense has been questionable, at best, at times.

I live in Gwinnett and until little while ago, I couldn’t have named Mill Creek. I think I called it Millwood or something not all that long ago on this blog. Never been to the high school, and sitting here, I’m not sure where it is. However, they’ve put themselves on the map already, and it’s high time I find out where the school is located. Life can be so different here in Gwinnett, because regardless of football, hundreds of thousands of new people have moved here. Good luck to Mill Creek.

Grayson is well coached and can win anywhere against anybody. They beat Lowndes up here last year. But of course, that was last year, against another team. How anybody is supposed to “own” another team that doesn’t play more often than once in every 5 years, maybe? But, of course, there’s a big mouth here that claims that too.

Finally, there’s Collins Hill at Lowndes. Lowndes, of course, is the favorite, and stages as impressive of an opening as I’ve seen in high school football. Lowndes does have a great band. But the game is played on the field, and has nothing to do with the ego of silly bloggers that apparently need to act out here to prove they have a life. Good luck to Collins Hill. I wish them the best.

ELCA fan – Way too many are looking ahead for a potential championship matchup between Clinch Co. and Wilcox Co. in the dome. But, as they say, that’s why they play the game.

BKSMITH14 from another Lowndes fan……Ho Hum! It doesn’t matter if the refs were paid off (they weren’t) or if we had injured players (we did and probably so did Camden) or if we fumbled a punt (we did) or what ever other excuses or alibis you can come up with it will not change the facts. We should have won that game and we did not. So we lost. Period! That makes us the LOSERS and Camden the Winners! That makes us less than State Champs and Camden 2009 State Champs.

You could stand to learn a lot about life from yourself. Get over yourself and quit making excuses every time you come up short in something. Losers blame other people for their short comings and don’t accept responsibility for their own actions. Quit being a loser.
I know you say “I call it like I see it”. Well let me say you are coming across as seeing it through the eyes of a loser. May be time to look at “it” through the eyes of a winner for a change.

@goldenglove002, the issue with the North Gwinnett band was magnified by the stadium layout. The NG band sits/stands/plays from the end zone stands. These stands look to be about 20-30 feet max from the end of the end zone but I did not measure. At the time, Grayson was on about the 15-20 yard line on that end of the stadium. If you haven’t seen them, the NG band is very large and in fact it takes the entire end zone stand to hold them. They are big and they are loud! So basically you had a very large band about 30 yards away going for all they were worth on a high volume song as Grayson was attempting to run plays. It did not happen just once but kept happening all night. I know those of us in the stands had no clue what was going on until the ref went over to the band director. Youthful exuberance I’m sure but it was a little much.

Lowndes at home is very strong. I think Harrison snuck up on them in a season opener a few years ago but other than that their losses are mostly on the road. Collins Hill will go down by at least 2
TD’s, maybe 3 or 4!!!
Grayson, after a few early season bumps, seems to be peaking at the right time (just like some 5AAAA team I’m very fond of) so Valdasta – Grayson looks to be a much better/closer game.
Where is this computer that now has East favored on the road against undefeated Starr’s Mill?

Lowndes is notorious for being unable to stop the pass. Is that another fact?!?! Lowndes can’t win on the road when it really counts… Fact! Heinecke is the best QB in the state… Ok that’s my opinion but Lowndes will see it as a fact on Friday!!!

The computer predictions are meaningless. I think they were wrong in every game last week. So you better hope they picked against your team.

I have been to many games all over the state and will have to say the Concrete Palace is incredible. I don’t see how 17 or 18 year old kids make the long 4 hour plus ride from Atlanta, walk into that stadium where there is 12,000 strong, see all the state title banners, Titletown sign, and hear the crowd and not be intimidated. I was when I went and I am a grown man and wasn’t playing. Collins Hill can throw the ball and seem to be good but winning there will be tough. Lowndes has athletes, they always do, it will be a matter if they can handle the atmosphere. I saw a VERY good and national top ranked Peachtree Ridge team get completely demolished there year before last. That game was over before they could blink. Good luck to them. Valdosta can be the same way.

After HSFB wrote that our team just learned how to play with the big boys i looked back at my last four years supporting the Rams. It has been a pretty good ride.
Grayson has gone 44-8 and outscored their opponents 1427-504

Playoff losses to Camden by 15, Peachtree Ridge by 3 in double ot, Newnan by 2 on a blocked field goal on the last play of the game by Ogletree.
Some wins during that time have been over highly rated teams such as Norcross, Camden, Brookwood, Lowndes, PRidge, Warner Robins.

So know matter what happens in Lowndes county Friday night i think the Rams have done a great job of playing with the big boys.

Sometime rain helps the passing game more than the run. I’ve heard good coaches say a receiver knows where he’s going. He can plant his foot, fake one way and go the other way while the DB slips down. We beat a good Tifton team one year up in Tifton in a monsoon by passing it. We were backed up to our 10 yard line, trading short punts all night with a wet ball with Tifton and trying unsuccessfully to run the ball. Our QB faked a handoff to the fullback and raised up and hit CJ Lofton over the middle for a 90 yard catch and run, giving us the game. OMG that was pretty.

Passing in the rain requires good blocking though, and linemen can also slip down trying to block fast Defensive Lineman like we have. Like YO said, it might be hard for the Ketchup Man to throw a pass laying on his Heine (kee). I tend to agree with BKSmith14. Lowndes wins and lives to see another week.

The weather should be warm, even if it rains. And Martin Stadium drains rather well. It will be a good game either way. Rain or shine. I plan on setting up my tailgate tent Thursday afternoon. See ya’ll there Friday!

PackerAlumni66 – You’re just saying that because the Packers beat Valdosta 9 out of 10 years when Hyder was their coach. Yeah he was a good coach. But he was also a hypocrit. He once called time out with the Cat’s on the Viking 10 yard line, up 35 to 7, with less than a minute to play, to set up another score. His first string offense was of course still in the game. His team did score again. It happened on the west end of Cleveland Field. I was there.

If Brookwood gets by Hillgrove then Lowndes has to come to Brookwood If they get by Collins Hill.I don’t think Lowndes has ever played at Brookwood.It would be a throwdown!

Sideline Observer I think it’s the nostalgia (and maybe bragging rights) of playing Valdosta in a state championship that some how just feels right. A Valdosta/Lowndes matchup makes me wonder how many people in and out of this state might show up in little old Atlanta for that one.

Having said that I was thinking along the same lines as you how much it would be nice to settle the score from 2008 and put Grayson’s claim to fame to rest once and for all.

Like they say, “it don’t rain in the Dome”.

lowndes has to get by collins hill first. this team is no joke and qb is for real. i just got through watching 2 games on internet. if he has time to throw he has a strong and accurate arm. lowndes will have to score some tds bc as good as lowndes defense is this guy is still going to make some throws. i take lowndes but this is not newnan. we will have to play mistake free again .

Yo i have been telling everyone how much a state championship game in Valdosta with the Cats and Vikes would mean to this area! If by chance they meet in the Dome, do you think it would be as exciting, being in ATL. Just think of that week in Valdosta, Lowndes County that week; as the youngstas say” WOULD BE OFF THE CHAIN”!

Sure, Lowndes would like to have a rematch against Grayson but that’s small potatoes to folks in Val compared to a state championship between the Cats & Vikings. That’s a game people in Lowndes County have been waiting to see happen for 40 years. I think half the population of the county would be in the Dome just to be able to say they were there. But….. both teams still have some pretty stiff competition to get through to see that. I don’t even want to risk jinksing it by talking about it anymore. The trick this Friday will be how to have two games streaming and keep track with the blog on the other two in close to real-time.

Wing _T_Fan When Lowndes builds a second high school 7 or 8 years from now it will be a separate high school from Lowndes High, and students would not cross over to Lowndes to participate in Sports.

Some people are also kinda waiting the see whether or not the Lady Editor of the Valdosta Daily Times who is hell bent on consolidation gets her way. Valdosta, which was granted the right to operate public schools in the early 1900’s, would have to give up that right (charter) in order for the two systems to consolidate. Lowndes County Schools would then take over the Valdosta City Schools, and re-district. It would perhaps be a good time to consider a third high school, drawing from both of the current ones. It is very prudent for us to sit back and wait a few years to see if that will happen. We certainly don’t need 4 high schools. Five counting Valwood, which to you folks around the state, is a local private school.

This is their fifth year. First in 5A. Solid program that due to redistricting the attendence lines when the school was built now has players that would have gone to McEachern and Harrison. They should only have one loss this year (to McEachern) but lost to S-Cobb when three offensive starters didn’t play due to injury…Including QB Gage Henry (broken bones in face from PE class).

Hillgroves road to the Dome is the toughest of all the 5A teams…and…They are taking each game at a time, not like some of the “power house” teams that overlook Hillgrove and start making plans for their next opponent. Heck, Stephenson fans had made hotel reservations in Kingsland the week before playing us.

Valdosta Ga:
This South Georgia town that only a few days ago was populated by over 200,000 citizens is now a ghost town. A mass exodus took place on Saturday as over half the citizens packed up and left following Friday nights losses by Valdosta and Lowndes to teams from Gwinnett county.

How can you have another high school in the same county but play sports at only one? What does GHSA say about that set up. Seems against the rules of the High School Association.

Duluth as a Math & Science HS on its campus but its students are not allowed to play on the Duluth teams. Not sure if it is a commitment to academics by the school or a GHSA rule.

You know……that Gwinnett area that in reality is just North Atlanta.

JIMB When a team schedules an out of region game, they are looking to tune up for the season or find out something about their team. If a aaaaa school scheduled Buford, because they thought it would help them later on in the season I guarantee they wouldnt be worried about what happened in the game as far as win loss goes. I really dont see why a aaaaa school would shy away from Buford. The fact is what happens in a non region game doesnt matter in the playoffs, what matters is how good a team is playing in the playoffs. The opposing coach isnt going to care who they lost to the first or second game in the season , just how theyre playing now. Being undefeated isnt everything and it is not required to win a state championship.

Everyone knows the right bracket belongs to Buford. Cook will give them a game, but in the end Buford will be playing for #4. The left bracket, on the other hand, is up in the air. Thomasville will give Carver all they want and Calhoun and Fitz is a flip of a coin. I belive whoever wins the left side bracket will win state. Buford has lost early in the years past and peaked in November/ December. Carver beats Buford but struggles against R6 #3 GAC 21-7 with only two offensive td’s. I belive any other play off team plays GAC and they win by 3 or 4 scores. Carver better tighten up this week or they be buying a ticket to the dome. Fitzgerald/ Calhoun game will be a barn burner. Wing T- of Fitz will only work if they can throw the ball sucessfully, Calhouns D will stop any run. The biggest question is; Can Calhoun score on Fitz… Can’t wait until Friday.

As much as I hate to take sides on this blog, 1-AAAAA doesnt get as much respect as they deserve, They have good teams Lowndes, Valdosta, and Colquitt. Also Lowdnes and Valdosta have quite a few wins and State Rings and trophies that say that they are good, cut 1-AAAAA some slack, underestimated and misunderstood, Its funny how people get on here and brag that their team is the best. Yet most people’s teams have not done anything in the playoffs, past or present. 1-AAAAA deserves some respect and I believe everyone on here should show it to them

To all of Hillgrove Fans, Coaches and especially Players, Band nad Cheerleaders,
The game Friday was spectacular, your offense is top notch, they train and practice very well in Cobb Co. It was disappointing to watch Hawks swarm the paw and dance to “All The Way Turned Up” and “All I Do Is Win” but I can not blame you all. You defeated the #1 team and defending state champs. And your fans our very supportive, its good to see alot of fans on the other side. Your coaches are good too. They coached with emotion and passion, something Camden lacked all night. Even Herron recognized that from the kick off. Now I want all of Hillgrove to know, Camden will be expecting you all to get into the playoffs next year. It is kind of the starting of a mini rivalry.
Now any team that overlooks Hillgrove is a foolish team. After seeing them first hand, they are no joke and they deserve some respect. They are like Camden in 2009. After losing to Grayson in the Corky Kell Classic and Hoover at Chris Gilman, everyone doubted that they would even make it past the first round. But they just kept chugging knocking off N. Gwinnett, Lowdnes, Colquitt, and Northside, all of those games they were projected to lose. I will be the first to admit this and I love my Camden Wildcats, Camden got bested. Coach Herron said “Thats what happens when you play in a Region(3AAAAA) with little competition and win State back to back”(Tribune & Georgian Sports). Take this as a complement, Hillgrove you keep doing your thing against Brookwood, but I have to say if you all survive the Bronco Stampede at Brookwood, You all wont survive the Viking Onslaught at the Concrete Palace. You though it got loud in Thunder Alley? In the Palace it gets worse, with a 450+ band along with over 1,000 fans screaming, it is truly a taste of South Georgia football, but keep your focus and above all put God first on the field and you might make it to state.

Now to everyone else, can we please stop downgrading Lowdnes? You have to give them some kind of respect, They play with heart and emotion. Valdosta as well. And im not forgetting Colquitt either, It is a shame really, It is going to take a state championship to silence people,
@BulldawgBite
Camden would like to play N. Gwinnett during the regular season, but no offense Camden has its sights on a bigger prize, this year they came awfully close to possibly playing for a mythical National Championship (If we had beat STA and won State this year) I think NG is doing the right thing by scheduling teams outside the state, It gets old just playing the same people. I think NG would have fun playing teams like Don Bosco Prep, Trinity, St Thomas, Miami Central, South Panola, Hoover, Jenks, Servite, Crenshaw and teams of that caliber. Alot of out of state teams run offense that you see in the playoffs, For example, when Camden played St Thomas and Miami Central both teams ran a variation of the spread, the Camden saw that same spread last Friday night against Hillgrove. Playing out of state teams gets your name out there, even though NG is always ranked in MaxPreps and ESPNRise. But once again Camden would enjoy playing NG or any other in state team, but other teams and states are calling our name.

Friday’s Games will be good Collins Hill at Lowdnes, Grayson at Valdosta, Hillgrove at Brookwood and Mill Creek at Colquitt. Now everyone on here says Gwinnett county will beat all the South Georgia teams. I believe everyone that says that knows the real truth: South Georgia football has a winning tradition, and that tradition will continue this year. There is only one team that could have made a run to state from the southeast and that is Camden, like Northside and North Gwinnett they had a White Water Incident and overlooked those Hawks from little known Hillgrove High School. But like always none of us are playing its up to the boys in the pads to back up our words

Wildcat2 Now everyone on here says Gwinnett county will beat all the South Georgia teams.

@Wildcat2 -Why do you insist upon writing a lie? Something that simply isn’t true, and is stupid as well? Everyone on this blog says the Gwinnett teams will win? We’ve had “A Fan,” who was crowing about Collins Hill, but I’m guessing that’s actually a Lowndes fan trying to juice up this blog. Otherwise, name names, Wildcat2. Otherwise, shut up.

I consider the Gwinnett teams to mainly be underdogs, and have said so even about the one team that is playing at home, Brookwood. Since I’m part of “everyone,” and I’ve been here for weeks, this Wildcat2 is nothing but a WildGooseChaser that is simply making smoke where there’s no fire.

This is the second time that you have implied that a Lowndes fan was posting as a Gwinnett fan. While that is not impossible, it doesn’t make it true. Every blogger on here posts under the cloke of annonimity. You don’t ever know who you are talking to on here. Just because you believe something to be true doesn’t mean that it is. Therefore, you shouldn’t then post what you don’t know to be true. You just blasted a Camden fan for posting something you believe to be a lie. By continuing to post that this “a fan” is actually a Lowndes fan you are doing the same thing.

Brookwood 21 Hillgrove 28 (Surprise again)

Colquit 85 Mill Creek 84 (49-49 in regulation)
During 5th overtime Probst decides it is time to go for the win and goes for 2 and gets it.

Valdosta 24 Grayson 17 (More defense in this game than many are expecting)

Lowndes 45 Collins Hill 21 (In 4th quarter Lowndes substitutes and CH gets 3rd TD)

VALDOSTA WILDCATS AKA the Grandpa Energizer Bunnies. The gift the keeps on giving and giving and giving and giving and giving and giving and giving. Seven in a row and counting. Nobody in your proud history has beaten you seven times in a row except for the Lowndes High Vikings. And like I said, “and counting.”

Speaking of tomorrow night, I am pulling for Valdosta, and think they will win. Lowndes coach Randy McPherson said Valdosta’s front “seven” are the best he’s ever coached against. They match up really well against the Wing T. I doubt Grayson can throw it as well as Lowndes did against Valdosta, and that is what changed the game back in October. Grayson will not wear Valdosta down like they did North Gwinnett, and Valdosta will pull away in the 2nd half.

Hillgrove may very well upset Brookwood, the highest ranked team still in the playoffs in AAAAA. If a team can beat Camden at their place, they can certainly beat Brookwood after a one hour bus ride in traffic they are more than used to.

Colquitt has more speed than Mill Creek has ever seen in their worst nightmares. It won’t be close.

Lowndes will defeat the state’s best QB and a very good Collins Hill team, but it might be a dogfight and a nailbiter. If the Lowndes that played last week against a very good Newnan team shows up to play, they could very well Peachtree Ridge, errr, I almost said “Northside” Collins Hill! But that is reserved for when a totally unknown team upsets an unbeatable powerhouse. And Collins Hill is certainly NOT an unknown team. Everybody has heard about their passing game this year.
