YO I am parked next to I-75 in front of the gate opening to the Silver Viking Parking Lot. Hope to meet you and your son. Lowndes 96, glad your son is coming too. Both of my sons will be there tonight also. Rancher, hope to see you too. And Viking 68! Bring your megaphone! One graduated from Lowndes in 92 and one in 96. I played at the old Lowndes County High, which is now Lowndes Middle School. Yeah, admitting my age! But I have had the SAME season tickets at Lowndes for over 40 years. And am one of the ORIGINAL Silver Vikings.
CH folks, drive safely on the wet roads! Come early, the restaurants will be packed with shoppers. And Grayson folks will be coming too. Hope EVERYONE , including Lowndes & Dosta fans and all ya’ll traveling gets home safely.
FRED – Two years ago late in the Grayson game we turned to a sophmore defensive back to hopefully bring us back against Grayson. His name is Tyler Hunter. Number 15. Last week our starting QB, Cole Parker, was injured and could not play. At 4 pm on Friday, Coach told that same defensive back he had to start for us against Newnan. The rest is history. He was awesome. Ask the Newnan fans. As a senior, he has committed to FSU. He was injured late last year and missed the last regular season game and all of the playoffs. Initially diagnosed as never being able to play again. Later given the green light to play by top neurosurgens. His dad, Brice Hunter, starred at Valdosta High, UGA, and Tampa Bay. We have several others who also played against Grayson, and yes they remember that awful feeling and long ride home. They DO hope to see Grayson in the Dome this year. Most Lowndes fans, being loyal to our cross town neighbors are pulling for the Cats to win tonight. I just hope we get to play either!
See ya’ll this afternoon!

jefferson: That cold wind you are feeling is that “FITZGERALD PURPLE HURRICANE” gearing up….some say it sounds like a train,but it will be our RB’s surgically cutting through your D, OR – it also could be our QB throwing TD’s……………..****************ALERT*********************
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS ISSUED A HURRICANE ALERT HEADING UP I/75…the eye of the storm is predicted to land in calhoun …….it should be a real exciting game.

@rancher, yes, natural grass. And for reasons that escape me, our players were slipping some last Friday on a dry field. So I expect footing to be questionable tonight.

It’s no fluke there are 4 Gwinnett County Teams still in the 5A playoffs, and three of those teams had to beat other Gwinnett county teams last week to advance. Otherwise there would be seven Gwinnett County Teams in the playoffs. The math is simple. You have Gwinnett County football, and then the rest of the state!

I think what Coach Conn was referring to is that Gwinnett County Schools spend an entire season beating up on each other so by the time the playoffs arrive these teams are pretty beat up. It would be good to play some South Georgia teams early in the year while both teams are still healthy. Reference Grayson beating Camden County in the dome last year the first game of the season, yet Camden won the state.

Well haven’t got a dog left in this fight but did go up 92 a bit and grab a “bone” from the “yard” to chew on for tonight. East just to let you know the HIram family is behind you. Take it all the way. As for the poster about EP’s linebackers, they are not superstars, but they way better than average and will get the job done by hitting you hard and in the mouth all night. As for backs.. finish the run everytime. Don’t know anything about Starrs Mill but I do know East can get the job done. Well disciplined, well coached, and the 2nd best fans in PC. Couldn’t resist Cowbellman. I know you disagree. But I bet they might be a littel purple and gold mixed in with that black and silver tonight. Gonna be loud and rowdy with those two school’s fans together. KICK SOME A## RAIDERS.
Tucker over Ware by 7 .. Tucker is too fast and quick
East Paulding over Starr’s Mill by 3 .. Old fashion knock your teeth out game
Kell over Statesboro by 10 .. Kell is solid
Chattahoochee over Dutchtown by 17 .. Chatt can score some points

Agreed that Mickey Conn is a class act at Grayson – he’s been there since the school opened and has built a great program…..
Looking forward to seeing my Monroe Area Hurricanes tonight in the AAA quarters against Sandy Creek!! Lots of respect for but NO FEAR from the Creek!! We’ve come from 0-20 to 11-1 and not done yet!!! GO ‘CANES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grayson has the best defense in the state period,Collins Hill and Millcreek the best offense at this period of time.

cane fan, usally when the hurricane winds reach this far north all they are is hot air and a lot of noise. They may reek havoc way down south but by the time they get here they are all fizzed out. But we will welcome your guys and hopefully have a lot of fun and good sportsmanship, just don’t be intimidated by the 12th man.

What I said about Mickey Conn at Grayson goes double for Shannon Jarvis at Mill Creek – class act, suffered through several also-ran seasons and the Hawks have finally put it all together!! Best of luck tonight against Colquitt!!
But forget the big boys….the best game anywhere in the state tonight ought to be Wilcox County and Wesleyan. Irresistible force meets immovable object!! THAT should be a game for the books!
In AAAAA, look for Brookwood, Grayson, Lowndes and Colquitt to advance. After that, it’s anybody’s game…..
AAAA: Nobody can top Tucker Period. Tigers have been there, done that, got a closet full of the t-shirts. Nice seasons, everybody else, but get ready to take inventory.
AAA: Peach County.will repeat. I really, really am hoping for my Hurricanes to pull it out against Sandy Creek, but we’ve got a big row to hoe tonight…..
AA- Buford is itching for another shot at Carver-Columbus (damn, man, that just doesn’t sound right, Buford wanting payback against ANYBODY) – and the Wolves will get their chance. Carver proves the first time wasn’t a fluke, though, and in a couple of weeks takes the AA crown in a blowout.
A – If Wilcox gets past Wesleyan tonight, no one in Class A, Lincoln County included, will be able to come close. The winner of Wesleyan-Wilcox takes the Class A cheese. ELCA-Clinch ought to be another great war tonight, but the title will be Wilcox’s to lose.

Based on the game you played with them I think you meant to write
“No D “can’t” stop their running game!”
Because your No D pretty much proved that.

Having watched HS football for a long time, I can tell you that this Starr’s Mill team is really something special. Great senior leadership and great coaching is driving this classy program and this team has it all. Great running and passing game, a hard nosed defense and the best special teams in the state. Look for this team in the Dome!!

Tucker this Tucker that….I think they need to worry about tonight and Ware and a little less about how fast and quick and everything. Bloggers for Tucker sound like the NSWR bloggers a couple weeks back. Let’s just hand over the trophy now cause the other 7 have no chance. I suspect Tucker might get a rude awakening tonight and we can see how ‘fast’ their mouths are shut up on here.

It is a MIGHT that you all had 1 highlight in your great history thier? It is a fact that you have HAD 1. Is that the way that you think of truth? The truth is that you wil be scarred for life after 2nite. Hope you have a good day and a terrible night, beginning at 8:00pm WHEN AND I DON’t mean maybe “THE BATTLEAXES” come out……. Have great drive home and be safe.

I just read on another message board that Valdosta has some (key) playes injured It would be a shame if that was true. I hope for the Cats sake that it isn’t true no one can afford to have injured players at this stage in the playoffs. If it is true i hope you guys can find a way to win. Lets go region 1!!

@EnoughTuckerTrashTalk.
We sound nothing like NSWR posters. 1st, if you read the posters who are making most of the comments they aren’t even Tucker fans, just observers of the game. 2nd, we haven’t gave any stats about winning streaks or what was done in the past. We only talk about the current upcoming game. Check any of my post, from the last couple of weeks and not once have I guaranteed a victory. Now on tonight’s game I believe we are the better team, with better coaching. I only say that because I have watched film on Ware Co., not because win/lose record or any statistics they are so important so some people.

PackerAlumni66 hope she doesn’t give birth right when the Pack scores on the last play of the game to win it. It might be hard to explain to your wife which of the 2 you remember the best about 5 years from now.
On the other hand you could go wild right about that moment (Pack wins! Pack wins!)and they will all think man this dude is going to make a great father as excited about this baby.

@squirell…..I watched the Panola/Colquitt game online and I even posted that the team from MS look like a D2 team at the least….they are just one of those freak teams that come along, but no sense is wanting to match them with Titletown….as good as those victories are, they still have nothing to do with the “title” in “town”…..to do that you must win in your region and playoffs, so you guys take of Mill Creek and we will take care of Grayson and then we will see you next week in the “Valley of Death”.
And Lowndes will take care of Collins Hill on the path to the second edition of the Winnersville Classic…..under the big dome. My, this site is very quiet with the absence of the Northside WR and Camden hordes at bay. Gwinnett teams have a prime chance to add Region 15A to that list, time will tell.
