mill creek will score 30 or more on you guys. colquitt has not stop the run all year. and if mill creek can control clock and run then that is how you beat colquitt. i want colquitt to win and its a toss up but if you guys do then valdosta or grayson will be your last stand

williambrado – The preacher actually said “And may the loser have a safe trip on their LONG JOURNEY HOME! The game was over right then. Warner Robins never had a chance after that, and that was before the kickoff!

Fred, I too am VERY PROUD of your nephews. Please tell them how much we appreciate what they are doing and sacrificing for all of us! With Moody Air Force base located in Lowndes County, we are a patriotic citizenry. Everyone, all bloggers and football fans, please pray for these two young men and their safety. Thinking about them and others like them really makes me realize how small and unimportant football is when we think of all of military people in harms way. I am also proud of LaGrange’s SGT and Hinesville’s Sportsfan31313 for what they did for us in the past.

East is ready, I have spent time around these boys this week and I am telling you they are prepared. Metally they are focused, all business and know what needs to be done. They are physically prepared, great practices. Coaches will push them hard, they will push each other. They have the heart, they have the drive, they will not quit it’s not in them. These boys are special, they want this and they are gonna bring it all to Star’s Mill. Better eat your Wheaties tomorrow SM, strap that chinstrap tight and say your prayers. The Mighty Raiders blow into town tomorrow and it’s gonna be a battle!! I’ll see all my Raider people in the stands, LOUD AND PROUD!! GO EAST!!

to any teams who season ends fri night, you have nothing to hang your heads about. anyone playing tommorow night has made it further than camden, the defending champs !!! To be playing in the 3rd round means no matter what you have had a good year and are a good team.
The team i feel has the best chance of getting upset tomorrow is valdosta. Graysons defense is no joke and if they can keep it close then look out cats!!!

Under 45 degrees tomorrow at kickoff. By 9 pm the wind chill will be a 32 degrees. Wind around 12 mph or less. The worse conditions of the season. Who can play in bad weather here at Brookwood tomorrow? Who knows? We’ll find out. Cold ball, cold hands. No rain. Maybe rain south of here. Good luck to Hillgrove, but you know I’m rooting for Brookwood. And in a spirit of Thanksgiving, I will not look for other posters here until tomorrow, since I wish to remain in a spirit of the day.

Tucker runs the Wing T. Ware’s defense is very fast and physical. They can stop the Wing T. They held Lowndes to 3 points. They can beat Tucker. East Paulding and Kell may be the biggest and baddest AAAA dogs standing after tomorrow night.

@rancher, I guess you missed the earlier discussions. Due to the way the brackets are set up this year, it is mathematically impossible for Gwinnett to have more than 4 teams in the quarterfinals as we had to play each other in the round of 16. So looking at it from that perspective, Gwinnett is 100% at this point as opposed to 1-AAAAA which is 75%. But the truth is all of this is just numbers. At this stage, any team can go the distance. It all will depend on who shows up.

I find it interesting that so many people on all sides still reference the Grayson-Lowndes game from 2 years ago. Neither of those teams is represented this year as the juniors and seniors are gone. That leads to my next point. I appreciate that important games and winning seasons are a part of a body of work that represents how a team has done in the past. However, it is just that – the past. It can speak to strong overall program but the truth is we all are only as good as this year. At this point in the year, we are all only as good as our last game. Every team goes into Friday night 2-0 where it counts – the playoffs. This year when it counted, Camden unfortunately came up short as did NG and others. It happens. It doesn’t mean they are bad teams or even that they had a bad season just that they had a bad game.
I am fired up about tomorrow night and we coming in force and to win. It may not happen. It might happen. Either way, all the teams can hold their head high as to get to this point means they are a good team. I am hoping for some hard, clean football with no injuries. It is great to be able to enjoy something as passionately as we all do. Best of luck to all! (but not quite as much to the Wildcats
)

Lowndes put a quick #15 on the Pack in the first quarter. The first was after a good kick coverage and saftey. Lowndes got the ball again in good field position and Parker finished with an 8 yard run. Then Lowndes drove again and scored on a 1 yard run. Packers were “dazed” in the first quarter. Second quarter Lowndes put up one more score then the Packers got rolling and put up two quick scores to make it 23-13 at the half.
Second half Packers came out and scored to make it 23-20. Forth Quarter, Packers had been moving the ball and holding Lowndes when we started a drive around the twenty, we threw a pick-6 (by 6′5″ “bad” linebacker) and made it 30-20 (Propst admitted it was a bad call). All the wind came out of our sail. Lowndes scored again , 37-20. We scored with 39 seconds left , 37-27.
Without the “dazed” first quarter and interception by the best player in the State, it would have been a whole lot closer and ya’ll know it. Lowndes is better than the Packers but we would love to play you again.
To tell the truth Valdosta looked better than ya’ll and they only beat us by #7.
Hope Lowndes, Valdosta and Packers win so we might return to “Title-Town” and maybe tangile in the Dome.

It looks like Ware County fans are drinking the same koolaid as Hiram was last week before their beatdown. Defense will rule the night tomorrow just because of the cold and wet weather. Tucker runs the ball very well with two TBs and will wear down Ware Co (no pun intended). I believe it will be close in the first half with Tucker pulling away late 3rd and into the 4th quarter. I truly believe this is Tucker’s year with NSWR out. NSWR was the only team that really matched up well for Tucker with their speed. Well, good luck to both teams and Happy Thanksgiving.

How cruddy is it that Peach Co. had their football ticket pre-sale money stolen! I think all of us here would gladly assist with recovering if we could. When they catch who ever took it, the thief ought to have to get on the field with the football team. That would be interesting to watch!
PC, good luck recovering the money!

Thats the confusion, Tucker runs the wing-t “to perfection” like none other. Don’t forget our defense is good as well. If you have comcast, go check out a few of our games and the highlights of the Hiram game on on demand.

I’m having difficulty feeling sorry for the Peach Co. athletic office. That has to be the stupidest move of the year. Leaving $10,000 locked in an athletic office is worse than dumb. That is known to be a high crime area anyway. Not only hope they catch who did it(somebody had to know it was there) but also hope they hold those responsible for carelessness to blame also, and some action is taken against them.

sqirrell, looks can be decieving. we beat the cats 24-17 and if not for us fumbling at goaline and throwing a pick in the endzone it could have been 41-17. lowndes is better than most think. ive seen every game and it just depends on what lowndes team shows up

the lowndes can run and pass well and that is where we create problems for the cats if we meet again. we unlike them were able to run and pass in the first meeting. they were 1 demensional. no one has run on lowndes all year!! no one.

I look forward to tonights game with The Creek. I’m sure you guys are good and will give it your best shot, that’s the kind of football we like to watch. I hope The Pack responds, as we can, and hopefully the defense will react to the cause and put on their best show of the year.
But I must criticize one of you guys that made a statement many pages ago. Your “Creek”, although I have not had the pleasure of being an eye-witness to their ability, is no South Panola. That bunch, I have seen, and they were very impressive.
If you got it, show it to me, tonight.
South Panola has the best looking backfield I have seen since Avondale Estates put a whipping on us, on the coldest day of my life, many years ago. I have seen bunches of HS offense in my life, but those two stand out.

Fred, good post on the teams playing tonight, having nothing to do with the past. I also like your idea on the punishment for the person that stole the Peach Co ticket revenue. All the kids, coaches and teams playing tonight deserve our respect for making it this far. There are no teams left because of weak regions, bad calls, unlucky fumbles ect ect . All 40 teams playing tonight have earned the right to do so …. Good luck to everyone , especially THE LOWNDES VIKINGS.

Looking forward to tonight’s game in Moultrie, 5 hours until we hit the road. Looks like 2 high scoring offenses so it should be a great game to watch. Here’s to a great, injury free game. Since we’ve both made it this far I would say either team is capable of winning this one.
What’s the predicted weather around game time? Hopefully the rain will have passed by then but it’s hard to tell from the radar.
Good luck to both teams!
