Most intriguing quarterfinal? Start with Wheeler vs. Norcross

Let’s update this blog for the quarterfinals. Miller Grove beat Sequoyah fairly easily Tuesday in our ”most intriguing” second-round game.

I’m sitting in Fort Valley waiting for Fayette County to tip it off against Lovejoy in one of the top QF games of the weekend. Eager to watch Adam Smith, one of the state’s premier scorers. This should be a good one.

On Saturday, the top game is Norcross vs. Wheeler at West Georgia. These are the only teams in AAAAA that can challenge Milton. There, I said it. Not sure I’m going out on a limb with that.

Speaking of good QF’s, I see that Kentavious Caldwell scored 40 in Greenville’s 2-point win over Wilcox County, the team I picked to win Class A. Nick Marshall had 16.

As far as girls go, I don’t think there’s a better team in Georgia than Fayette County. Just saw them hammer Warner Robins. hard to defend a 6-4 post w/ skill, plus a UConn signee. The sophomore PG is smooth. We need an all-clas tournament.

OK, got to go. Smith just hit a 3 at the first-quarter buzzer. Fayette leads 17-14.

How about 2 #1 seeds playing against each other in the second round of the Class ‘A’ tournament. Athens Christian VS Whitefiled Academy. What a brilliant job the GHSA did in setting this tournament up when you have 2 number ones playing in round 2

I agree totally with Bball72……..we’ve seen this plenty of times before from teams where a team happens to be far and away the best team in their region but haven’t played anybody worth anything during the season……then come into the play-off’s with a deceiving record and high ranking……just look at the competition Sequoyah has played!!!!!!!!!!! they have not seen anything like what they’ll see Wednesday

Is Sequoyah more talented than Miller Grove? No, but they will be better coached I’ll guarantee you that. Sequoyah plays their guts out all game, and that’s all you can ask. Just make sure Bishop Eddie Long doesn’t show up to hit on our young people in Cherokee County. He is after all the Miller Grove Sugar Daddy.

Where did Sequoyah say they played harder teams?? Our region was definately better than Region 5 because our region won 3 of the four on Saturday. Region 7 is not as weak as everyone thinks it is. I’ve never seen or heard anyone say Sequoyah played harder teams than Miller Grove. Miller Grove SHOULD win, but America SHOULD not be in debt either. The most talented team doesn’t always win.

Miller Grove will win by at least 20 points. Sequoyah has not seen a team that even remotely resembles Miller Grove. Miller Grove has played a much tougher schedule. Region 6AAAA alone has more tough teams than Sequoyah has played against on their whole schedule. Good luck Sequoyah. You’ll need it.

coming from BUD? Wow, you’ve picked a team with 6′7, 6′8, 6′9 to beat little ole Sequoyah. Thanks nostradamus. The way I see it Sequoyah has nothing to lose, but if Miller Grove loses what happens? I mean if mighty miller grove loses the sun will cease to rise, there will never be moon glow again at night. All the pressure is on the Grove. Get beat by little ole Sequoyah out there in the cow pasture, and Bishop Long might make you buy your own unis next year, and fund your own trips. It’s funny how everyone thinks they’re giving some insight by saying Sequoyah will lose by 20 plus. That’s what everyone is saying, it’s not like you’ve come up with some breaking news BUD.

Anyone with 6′7, 6′8, and 6′9 that holds the ball a whole quarter when he has more talent. Isn’t much of a coach, not to mention their 1st title he wasn’t the coach because he lost his certification.

Not to take anything from either team SWD and MG first meeting was double digit and because SWD had played the team before they got better and learned how to defeat.

The Chiefs have not played anyone of MG caliber.

In the AAAAA boys southern bracket, it will be interesting to see gets to the Final Four. Of course when they get there Milton is sure to win it all with the recruits. Anyway, of the normal teams who have done it by the book, there are several good matchups coming up. In the coaches poll, 8th ranked Jenkins, at 24-5 is playing at Newton ranked 4th at 25-4. This is a rematch of last year’s first round game at Newton, which Newton won on their way to the Final Four. Jenkins returns most of their team and is better than they were last year. Newton has had another great year, despite returning only 1 returning starter, Derrick Henry, the 2 time Region 2-AAAAA POY, who is slated to start for the south team of the GACA All-Star game on March 26th. Look for Jenkins to be great, as they did last year, and the game to come down to the wire. On the other side, Westlake and Tift Co face off, as Westlake tries to make another run to the Final Four. Upstart Langton Hughes looks for another upset vs. Valdosta, after being state ranked Harrison on the road. Should be a fun night on Wednesday.

Holding the ball a whole quarter is no indication of MG coaching but SWD because they allowed this, and If the refs are involved in Wednesday’s game who is to say the same will not happen? oh I forgot “Sequoyah has a better COACH” LOL

What I said is strictly my opinion. You might think MG has the better coach, and that’s fine. Held the ball a whole quarter which led to a close game, and thus gave SWD the confidence to beat MG in the region tourney. Just my opinion, you don’t have to like it.

Hats off to MG they look a lot like Goliath compaired to Sequoyah…I don’t know who will win, lets leave that to the players and coaches, but I will be there supporting the Sequoyaj Chiefs and watching for David to show up!

Let me weigh in on some of this.

Rankings are over rated and based on popularity, NOT PRODUCTION. I see the stats and inquired how the All-Star teams were picked to GACA. #24 SG Larry Thomas and #21 PF Earl Farnum of Langston Hughes both had better stats than several of the current All- Star picks, but they GACA rep couldn’t validate how the kids were picked. All I was told, the coaches decide. On to the next…..It goes the same way with state rankings, the coaches decide. Even when we beat teams twice during the year, those teams were ranked and LHHS was looked over……only because they are not popular in the publics eye OR some guy behind a desk that only looks at ESPNU decides based on someone elses predictions. All-Stars and ranking should be based on the level of production……PERIOD. Again, don’t sleep on LHHS.

I agree with Panther Paw……, but if you spank teams with GA & Nat’l rankings, where do you go from there? Venue does play a part, because if you are not noticed then they won’t know you. If the record is good, then talent must be SOMEWHERE on the roster. All this hype about Miller Grove, Milton, Norcross is hype that has runover from previous years success. Don’t sleep on a lot of these teams. When the “Powerhouses” lose then you all will be saying…every dog has their day, they had a bad game, they were missing a man in the rotation, shots wouldn’t fall, at least we got our scholarships..what do you have?, we were on the road in hostile territory, I can go on with the excuses.

Its obvious Miller Grove on paper is far superior to Sequoyah. They have size, we get that. They have played better competition…We get that… We are just saying we think we can hold our own against them.
Who knows what will happen on Wednesday (For a FACT, not an opinion)… No one on earth knows.
If its MG by 20 or 1, or Sequoyah by 20 or 1, nothing said on here will equate to what happens.

@ Just saying. Are you talking about a real game versus MG or summer/fall league. If you are talking about a summer or fall game then you have to be kidding me. There is no way that LHHS can even hold MG’s jock especially in that weak region that you play in. Who is notable in that region besides Westlake (who is down for the first time in a long time)??? MLK, Stephenson, Newton, etc. Please! You guys are doing well for a first year program, but slow your roll.

@ ChiefSupporter. Nice job of trying to make excuses prior to. I think MG or any other team would be satisfied with a 1-point win at this stage of the season. Sequoyah has had a great season and nothing should be taken away from that, but to go to the depths you’re going and for what reason, just shows that you have conceived losing the game already and you are ready to make excuses why MG should win and why Sequoyah should lose. This is a great match-up and should be treated as such. Can’t wait!

As you and i both know there is more to every story, not saying he is not guilty but who would lie to go to school at Carver? I commend Seqouyah on a great season, i don’t understand how everyone on here keeps saying they are David, or the under dog. Hell they are the number 1 team in the State, and MG lost to a team that is not even ranked SWD. Also i think the lil Gaurd from the chiefs is actually pretty dang good. He may be the key to victory. It will be a hostile crowd, on the road for MG against the number 1 team.

I will say this i thought the same thing, then i was told that was something started a few years ago when they had udofia at PG, they did it so not one player is recognized more than the others, a sign of unity and team. But it doesn’t matter the team and coaches will all be thugs on this blog by Thursday morning. I hear one of the kids has some IVY league offers at MG, doesn’t matter he is a thug.

I do THINK US CITY FOLKS get it we instill hard work in our children and it pays off I am sure MG, Milton, Wheeler and Norcross don’t call up the AJC and invite them to games for a cover story so that is somthing you would totally have to take up with the AJC.

BI needed a last-second shot to get past a 4 seed from a weak region at home. No film review? Did the BI coaches think they had the Lowndes game in the bag? I was expecting a 30 point beatdown out of the “undefeated #1 team” in AAAAA against an opponent like Lowndes.

Hope Bradwell coaches watched film for their next opponent- they have a load of talent, a load of height AND a load of speed”.

Metro ATL,

Well this is the Tournamanet,,,, The Fact that Bradwell did’nt win by 30 points is no accord. Remember Lowndes were top ranked at the beginning of the season. It was an exciting defensive game with people on their feet cheering for both teams. You are sadly misten if you really think that they should have lost by 30 points. I don’t believe no team at this point will blow anyone out by 20 or more points. If you think that, then you are sadly misten…..

They also beat Pope, who made the playoffs. So what’s this about not beating anybody? We have a 6′3″ kid who plays like 6′8″, and isn’t scared of nobody, and a 5′8″ point guard who can out ball handle most 6′+ guards in region AAAA. So Miller Grove, just bring it, your coming to our house, The WAR LODGE, and I expect it to be a great game, not a blowout. GO CHIEFS!!

Millier grove might be suprised, that little guard from sequoyah is no joke and may cause the big 3 from miller grove alot of bench time with foul trouble. Sequoyah had a good season and squeaked by with an undefeated season and this should be recognized. If they or any other cobb or cherokee county team recruited and brought in top notch players from around the state, then they also would have a big front court. Milton has already recruited 6 kids from other counties for next yrs team.

Why be so personal chiefsupporter? Basketball is game of matchup. The coach who can exploit the most weakness win. This will come down to a guard play vs the bigs. Mg experience will be determining factor also. Let us leave the personal character issue of out this game, because at the end of the day is only just a game. My perception of chief supporter is that any who broadcast another people flaws has very poor character also. The MG coach is certifield now that is what matter and is fine educator.

Going into the 2nd round, all 4 of 2 AAAAA teams are still here. I wish all of these teams luck to make it to the Elite 8. That would be like playing a second regional tournament. Langston Hughes, Newton, Stephenson, Westlake. Langston going to the Ship.

Just Sayin by no means am I a “band wagon” fan and I doubt very seriosly if I will become a LHHS fan….. I have supoorted MG program since the school opened I have watched these players grow and develope just like you are watching LHHS. Not to mention how proud I am that they have come this far as many years as they have.

I sure hope that LHHS can back your talk because you are talking cash $$$$ trash.

Good Luck in the 2nd Round.

Hey Just Sayin,

Langston is garbage, that team has no semblance of an offense whatsoever. If Harrison would have actually came out to play it wouldn’t have been close. Harrison was up by double digits and couldn’t shoot the freakin ball. Langston scored 3 points in the 1st quarter. Had like 17 at the half. LOL. Both teams looked awful and Langston surprisingly won even after looking worse, I’ve never seen a team with a bunch of kids who can’t handle the ball, it was like they were playing hot potato.

@zac classification is determined by school size, not by teams choice. A team can elect to play up, but every sport would have to move up, and i am sure MG baseball, football, or anyother sports doesnt wants to play AAAAA, sure basketball doesn’t either because of the tradition built around playing the tuckers,SWD ect.

All talk aside, what a great atmosphere it will be in Hickory Flat on Wednesday night, with a 7pm tip, I would there no later than 6:30. Miller Grove is a great team, no Sequoyah fan is taking that away from them. Were just asking you to give our kids a chance. They are just a bunch of good kids that play the game the right way, and have HUGE HEARTS and a WILL to WIN that cannot be measured. Quit hating on the kids for doing the right thing. The bottom line so far is that they have lined up 29 times, and won all 29 games. Miller Grove will get its greatest challenge yet, make no doubt about that. What a great build up, to what will be a great game, I can think of no place I would rather be.

I’ve been to a few of Sequoyah’s games. I’m not a fan and no family goes there. First of all, it’s an exciting crowd, they fill the gym up. The community is into it and it’s a big deal coming from almost 20 years of losing teams. They are not big as mentioned. Their guard Tate might be 5′7″. He is very quick and not afraid to go to the hole. He could get somebody in foul trouble. He’s aces from the stripe. He’s a lefty and I think this throws defenders off a bit. He has a nice J and can hit 3’s as long as you give him space. IMO, if you stop him, you are going to win. The other 4 are decent players and play well together. They are good on the boards for their size and they don’t make a lot of mistakes. In the games I watched, they were losing at various points in the game, so they know how to persevere and overcome. They won’t back down for sure, no matter who or how big the team is they play. It’s correct to say they don’t have depth as they sub maybe 1 guy in. MGHS obviously good as advertised…. don’t know anything about them other than what’s been mentioned. I think the key for both teams will be to stay out of foul trouble. It’ll be interesting to see how the refs call this one…… the 1 and 2 teams in the state, it should be a barn burner!

Any team can be beatne on any given day. People dont realize that. If MG loses everyone will have excuses. Just the team that wins wins. Give them credit. I understand all the MG so called fans. But the other team is problably the overall better team and not an AAU team. And I am not scared to say that to any other coach before the haters come out.

So I hear all these bad remarks about one coach being better than the other but I also know they’ve been watching us and not just 1 game.

But nonetheless my boys will be ready.

A LITTLE INFO…………..As to the statement that at this point, this is the playoffs and there should be no 20+ blowouts. FACT: Just on the boys side of the tournament in Rounf 1, there were at least 25 games that were won by more than 20 points. Of those 25, there were five 30+ blowouts, three 40+ blowouts and even one 53 point blowout. With the 2 biggest blowouts being Columbia by 53 and Miller Grove by 49. I guess that just shows that if you are good enough to make the show, it doesn’t mean that you are that great of a team. I still say strength of schedule against other ranked and national teams (win or lose) makes you more battle tested and ready for when it really counts, RIGHT NOW! And as the tourney progresses, alot of these pretenders will not be coming out of their hole to blog, and instead of having all this “tic” for “tac” maybe we will get back to talking some real High School basketball

At the end of the day, Miller Grove is one of the best teams in the country. Probably the best of not one of the 2 best teams in the state. They have a team full of Div 1 recruits and no one can dispute their talent. Should they win Wed at Sequoyah? Yes. Will they win? Maybe. A team that loses to Miller Grove, regardless of the margin doesn’t mean that team was a pretender. I believe Sequoyah is one of the 4 best “teams” in the state tournament. The others being SWD and Bainbridge. I agree that the state championship goes through Miller Grove. Not because of their record, because they are the defending champion and until they get beat, they are the champions.

Now, Sequoyah has played their schedule with perfection. There were some games that they should not have won, but found a way to get it done. It is hard to go 29-0 in anything. I don’t care what it is. Trash them all you want for the “weak” schedule. Your opinion of the teams they play really don’t matter. What does matter is that they played and won every single time they took the floor. They played a much bigger team from Tennessee at camp in Chattanooga this summer. The team was Tyner Academy and their All-American 7 footer was held to 4 points on 1 field goal with a final margin of victory of over 30 points. Sequoyah also beat a much larger Science Hill team by 12 and then played at Milton and won by 10. Those feats do not mean a thing right now and yes, I know it was during the summer when everyone says it doesn’t matter and no one cares about summer ball. But, it does tell me that the Chiefs take every opponent seriously and never take the floor without giving 100% and doing all they can to get better and win the game.

I expect the game tomorrow night to be very competitive and entertaining. Who will win won’t be known until 9pm. Regardless, the community will be proud of what these local youngsters have accomplished. They earned the right to be here, lust like all 32 teams that made the tournament. No one can take that or their record or their ranking from them. They earned it. Let’s just be fans of young athletes who put on one hell of a show. There is a lot of trash talk on here, but I assure you, there is also much respect for the Miller Grove program by Sequoyah fans who know high school basketball. They also know that the team from Sequoyah wanted a chance to be the best they could be and knew that if they got their wish, somewhere along the way they would get a shot at playing Miller Grove and see just how good they could be against the best team in 4A. While we would all like to see it in the championship game, we are equally as happy to see it happen in Hickory Flat in the second round. To the players, it is an opportunity to earn respect, defeat another opponent and move on to the third round of the playoffs. Their ultimate goal is to win a state championship by playing one game at a time.

Should they falter tomorrow night against Miller Grove, they will have completed the season with a 29-1 record, nothing short of remarkable for a program that is in only it’s second state tournament in school history. We are very proud of these boys and wish only the best for them as they try to do what most think is impossible.

As a parent of one of the players on this team, and having seen these kids play together since 5th grade, I could not be more proud of them, their character, their coaches, the heart and determination they play with and their will to win. If they defeat Miller Grove tomorrow, it will be the biggest win in the school’s history. Not because they beat Miller Grove, but because they have never won a second round game. Heck, they have never played a second round game. They are playing for the love of the game and their community and the opportunity they have earned, not been given is one they should be proud of.

Good luck to all the teams as they play their second round games tomorrow night. I hope that everyone enjoys themselves and gets to enjoy one of the greatest games on earth.

Let’s Go Chiefs!

WELL, WELL, WELL…………….There was a guarantee for the last 2 weeks how Bradwell Institute girls were going to run over everyone else in AAAAA. A guarantee that they were going to be at Gwinnett Arena as one of the final 4. Actually looking ahead pass McEachern, North Gwinnett, Campbell and even Norcross. The undefeated (and untested) Lady Tigers lost by 25 pts. in their home gym to McEachern 50-25. By the way region 3-AAAAA didn’t fair well as the #2 team Beach also lost by 27 pts to North Cobb 63-36, which means region 3-AAAAA (girls) is totally out of the tournament. Mind you someone screamed and took over the blogs guaranteeing that these girls will be at the Gwinnett Arena. As I mention before, you have to play and schedule some outside region games against teams you could possibly meet in the playoffs. Even if you lose you get battle tested. You can always go undefeated against sub par teams, but when the tourney starts most of the real tested teams step it up.

Lets hope that will to win makes this a competitive game…………good luck! The Bradwell Inst. fan flooded these pages and others with blogs and blogs of guarantee’s, no rhyme or reason so I stopped blogging until now.

There are too many people on here that have no clue. The playoff brackets have been set up since going to the top four teams in each region the same way. The four region teams and other regions play across the same two regions 1-4,2-3 seeded teams. They are seeded as results of how the region championship and the third place and fourth place teams end up on championship night. Sequoyah won the region MG got upset and was seeded no.2 in their region. It just happened that Region 7 No. 1 and Region 6 no. 2 would play in the next game if both won their first. So it happened. If MG had won their region Sequoyah and MG would not have played until the Championship game if both advanced that far. So it is not what the coaches or others place the teams in the brackets it is a well designed playoff that has been a mathematical setup for every Class and every region for any competition.. There is no guessing as to who is no. 1 or 16 as in ncaa invitations. Regions 1-4 play each other Region 5-8 play each other in every classification. As in the Region 5-8, some years region 7-6 play each other and 5-8 play. Other years region 5-6 and 7-8, and 7-5 and 6-8, It is changed on a rotating basis. In the end the 1-4 regions cross over and play the 5-8 winners for the final four. All playoffs are set up ahead of time. The teams just play to be placed in the playoffs as team 1-4 to play another regions 1-4 teams eventually ending in the championship game. Very simple and effective….

Logistically it is sometimes impossible for some teams to play up or play better teams to improve their ability. It is easy for a Miller Grove team to play a Gwinnett powerhouse team…Just a few miles. How far is it from Bradwell Institute to McEachern…. Will they be able to play home and home boy and girls games with each other to keep their schedule straight. Will the teams in the region 1-4s have opportunities to play teams other than their close immediate surrounding schools. Economically there is an unbalanced situation in scheduling where some teams can play their 14 region games and travel less than 20 miles to play three other teams for a home and home schedule to make up a 20 game regular season schedule. Travel between any region 1-4 has to be enormous compared to any travel between regions 5-8. Then there comes the AAU thing all year long in the tightly confined demography of metro atlanta schools where some teams play together during the summer and are recruited by the top (?) teams (?). Just a curiosity of how good would some of these coaches be if they had to coach a group of kids from a confined area and not recruit nor have them together for AAU teams in the summer. It does not seem to be a true equal chance to become a championship team when you factor such things into the equation. The rich keep getting richer??

March 1st, 2011

@Andre: in every sub-bracket, #1 plays #4 and #2 plays #3. So if #1 wins, they either have to play 2 or 3 in the second round. Now two #1’s can meet in the third round. There is no way around it, would you prefer all the #1’s play each other in round 1.

I understand what you mean about demographic, but south Georgia teams could easily cross over into Florida and schedule games as the coastal teams can easily schedule teams from South Carolina and Florida. As far as demographics, these metro teams have played in S. Carolina, Florida, Alabama and so forth. Which means they have traveled as far or even further for these games.

Joe the only schools up here in the METRO AREA actively recruiting players are Wheeler, Norcross, and the FORSYTH COUNTY(UNBELIEVABLE!!) neighboring school of Milton who would not be able to field a competitive team without recruiting young brothers from South Fulton, DeKalb, Clayton and the TALENT RICH CITY OF ATLANTA. Southeast Atlanta as well as Southwest is loaded with talent from Crawford Long to Price Middle School we just have to keep the TALENTSNATCHERS from the NORTHERN SUBURBS from stealing our players. If you ever visited the communities of Miller Grove, Columbia, Westlake, SWD, or THE MIGHTY SOUTH ATLANTA you would see neighborhoods loaded with BALLPLAYERS. Head north to Milton, EAST COBB(Wheeler), or Norcross and you would smell the STANK’ before you got out of your car! These programs are FILTHY and for some reason they get away with recuiting a whole team full of players. Coach White got in trouble at Carver for 1 player who had been at the school for 2 or 3 years but these 3 schools can openly recruit a starting 5….SOUTH ATLANTA HORNETS 2 TITLES 3Years!!!

@Zone3Cane – Those PARENTS move the kids into the schools that have the most VISIBILITY…no different than parents moving their kids to schools that have stronger academic backgrounds. As a parent, if I believe my child has the talent to play for a Wheeler, Milton, Norcross and can get the NATIONAL EXPOSURE to possibly get recruited by a major college for a scholorship, I’m jumping at the opportunity. Those schools play a national schedule all during the end of November and December and can easily be scouted by major D1 scouts.

@Ray. You know dang well that it wasn’t just all the seniors this year that beat Tyner and Science Hill. That was Deihl’s class doing a lot of the damage. And you know the kid from Tyner was not an All-American unless 3 star big guys are all-americans now?

And don’t go saying that the senior class this year lead SHS to their first state birth last year. Again im pretty sure Deihl was the ring leader that lead the team in scoring and another senior was the 2nd or 3rd leading scorer.

As for the game Wednesday, I think it will be difficult for Sequoyah to compete. They might hang around for a while, but playing 6 players is not gonna beat Miller Grove. And I dont know if Tate’s eurostep is going to work against 6′8 guys that block shots. They stand straight up with their arms up and they are blocking that shot nearly every time. And I’m pretty sure they have the athletes and speed to match up with Tate. Brooks is 6′7 and guarded Dai-Jon from Milton and held him to 7. I think he might be able to check Tate if thats what Sharman wants. If Tate doesn’t go off for a huge game, this one can get ugly quick. Sequoyah is only shooting 37% as a team this year and thats not playing against bigger and faster guys like MG has. The writing is on the wall for sure. But if Sequoyah some how finds a way to pull it out, than it’s hard to see anyone beating them for state.

Or if you move and never have to sit out a year. Just follow the rules and if you want to change school, I think u got to follow the rules and sit one year instead of playing. Now, I use to work in Dekalb and alot coaches will shall I say persuade a player to play with them. If not the coach, but someone connected. Players are being recruited in Dekalb too. Its SOME shady AAU coaches that are connected. U cant see the gold for the trash thats out in there in sports. So I think its ok to transfer, but not RECRUIT!!!

@coach1 Ok Coach if you know the rules then you know that if a player moves into a school zone, that is a (family unit move) then they do not have to site out a year. That would be like punishing the family for moving. Moving from Conyers to alpharetta is no different from moving from Texas to Atlanta in the eyes of the GHSA. As long as your family unit has moved. It is actually against the rules for a Coach to recruit, but what do you call recruiting. What would it be considered if a kid who lives in Rockdale county, feels that he is good enough to play in Alpharetta, and his family moves to that schools attendance zone. When he shows up to school or to try outs, is the coach suppose to say hey you can’t play here?

Also as far as the AAU, every GREAT player in GA, lets say top 100 in GA, plays for one of the power house AAU teams in Metro Atlanta, thats from Valdosta to Dalton. ALll (well 90%) the top 100 either played for the 1. Atlanta Celtics
2. GA stars
3. Southern Kings (by the way the kings Administrator/Coach Morris has destroyed)
4. World Wide
5. GA blazers
So the players/parents talk to each other alll summer and convience each other to come play together. So how do you suggest regulating kids moving from one school to another. Of the top schools in the Metro atlanta area there are very few kids on the rosters this year that were not there last year, only two boys i can think of would be one a Milton and one SWD. but these both were legitimate moves, oh and Columbia. You better believe that once you have a talented team and are ranked nationaly and/or Statewide, the GHSA is looking at transfers. The last thing they want is to be embarrassed on the National media.

I am not bitter or show hate. I just believe in being honest. If you are fortunate enough to get kids at your school the honest way, then so be it. But when I kids is recruited and I mean the AJC and other kids know there are so kids not actually moving, then I think its not fair. If you are good, they will find you. I mean do right and when STATE Tournament comes you wont have the lopsided victories or repeating championships. If you are a great coach then u dont have to recruit. if you are a great player, make your other teammates better. I love to see how these so called AAU players pan out in real life. Funny, how only a few are actually doing well in college. I mean their game is actually growing. So please read my blog and think before you call me out. Because I can actually go there with you.

I think all of us should support our teams but that doesn’t mean we have to make wild predictions like 31313 did.

Clearly these region 4 teams are on another level from their opposition from regions 3 and 1- all won by at least 25 and now they get to play the region 4 tournament all over again.

Play hard and play with pride. Never flinch. Never back down. Never show fear. Regardless of score play with pride and intensity. You guys have made the community and school proud. By the way, the kids can not pick who they played. They just beat everyone that showed up. By the way for history, when fans see the banner in the gym or discuss the perfect season, they will not remember who they played or they barely won this game or that game. Those type of things fade with time. They will remember the record and region title and state tourney run.

I said I worked in Dekalb for seven years and really know most of the coaches. So I knw first hand what I am talking about. I said my statement, so if you dont like it keep it moving. Honestly, i am not scared to say anything. I didnt name names I just said clean up this high school basketball. Ok BB fan, I guess you know. Who are you? I guess I will continue to look over you. So you dont think we have illegal transfers. I didnt ay at some schools. My God teach me the right way. I will reframe from calling you out. I guess because it says Coach 1 it means that I am a coach, so you are wrong. Nothing is 100%, my friend. I didnt think men use the term bitter, o my bad, father forgive me!!!!

@metro ATL: Probably wont hear from sporsfan31313 again til next year, when we go through the same thing all over again. Yes, it is good to back your team, but you have to be realistic. The team I root for won a big game in round one, and now face a tougher opponent, but I keep it real, it is going to be tough, real tough. If they win I’ll be ecstatic and continue to pull for them, but I’m not making bold predictions.

As far as all the recruiting blogs, which blows up during this time of year, lets give it a break. When I moved here from New York my criteria was a nice home, a good education for my son and daughter, and a school that could compete in several sports. That is exactly what I did and did my homework. I didn’t land where I am accidently. My son played a a very good school that competed all 4 years he was there and my daughter played softball and ran track with the best Georgia had to offer. As a parent, what is wrong with that. This is basically what most parents here are doing, if you are ready for a move, why not move somewhere nice, where your kid is going to get some exposure, it’s a no brainer.

Set the standard, they may not remember who they beat or by how much with the tyoe if season that the Cheifs have had but they will rememebr who beat them them, when, where and by how many. That for certain will always stick with them.

Thanks for the scripture I’m sure they will need it.

I am just as loyal to my boys as you are to your so please understand that this is not trash talking but confidence in a team that I have been behind since the first day this school opened.

First of all, if you are of faith, you always need scripture. Second, refering to fans. Most fans do not remember. Third, If I am going to get beat, I want to get beat by the best. Fourth, since I Quoted scripture, I will quote the nature boy, “If you want to be the man you gotta beat the man.” Chiefs have to beat the man. Bring it on.

WheelerFRAUD2, don’t hate because the truth hurts. Not my fault my school SOUTH ATLANTA wins state championship’s the RIGHT WAY and your school steals them by circling 285 for talent. Didn’t mean to hurt your feelings with the truth, but you live in EAST COBB you know it ain’t enough talent out there for Wheeler to be successful every year without RECRUITING. If Lipscum left your program would change overnite just like Dunwoody’s when Coah Bracco left and didn’t leave his RECRUITING COORDINATOR’S phone #. Kentavious Caldwell the #1 player in the state attends GREENVILLE,seriously GREENVILLE!! If you got talent in basketball you don’t have to SELLOUT and go to Wheeler, Milton or Norcross. If you have talent the scouts will find you, they don’t care who you play high school ball for. Get a grip WheelerFraud2 and be TRUE TO THE GAME. South Atlanta Hornets REAL TALENT, REAL TEAM just ask JJ Hickson.

Set the standard if the fans are really fans and are as proud of their “home grown” as they confess all remember their 1st and only lost of the best season they ever had, otherwise they are just “band wagon” ANYWAY You will be beat by the best no need to make that request.

By all means I am very faithful and by all means understand and respect the quotes scripture. Giving and allowing hope for the Chiefs I don’t have a problem with it being real with the boys is top priority. They are playing the man but by no means are they the man until they beat the man if that’s what you are implying. Man v/s Man tip off tonight @ 7PM I got my ticket got yours?

Sequoyah fan, all we can ask is that each team bring their best and Sequoyah have enough people on this blog talking smack for them no need for the players and coaches to get involved. Each side just focus on the game at hand.

See ya Haters tomorrow or maybe not you will be too busy making excuses, IF and that’s a BIG IF MG loses you guys will have all my CONGRADULATIONS!!

Miller Grove has a great team, players, athletes, fans, coaches. They are a great team. I Hate it, and I mean hate that SEQ. has to play them in the second round. But it is, what it is. To be honest, I don’t really care about Miller Grove, good or bad. I care about Seq. To me, it never matters who you play, you play with the same effort and intensity. Miller Grove IS the next step to reaching the final goal. Yes, huge step, but can be done. Will be no “haters” with me, regardless of what happens. I always respect the opponent whether big, small, bad, or good.

Coach 1, this response is not solely based on this particular blog. I am an educator as well and have been for the last 12 years but I refrain from exposing or making accusations that contained no solid evidence because in this game it’s all based on what you can prove. (black & white) You appear to know more than the average basketball fan including high school bball and AAU alike.

I am all for doing things the right way and understand completely that if moves are verifiable and done properly by all means allowing the opportunity to play.

What I don’t agree with are the false accusations of illegal recruiting and in every blog you make these allegations but never release names you wait for someone else to do that for you. High School Basketball must certainly be cleaned up not only by the school, parents, and coaches but also by GHSA so that all the false accusations can cease once and for all. I definitely know there are illegal transfer you would have to blind not to see that.

By no means can you call me out you make the same remark on every blog mainly for attention or are you questioning if anyone else realize this about the same team regardless of the reason you should get a life!!! Who am I?? you ask Yes, I am a woman but you made no implication of that because maybe you don’t think woman can talk basketball but when you have 6 boys and a husband sports pretty much becomes your life. I am also particularly close to a program that you have made negative remarks about on more than one occasion. This is no “hit dog will holla” this is mother protecting what she has also rightfully work hard to build.

It is pretty obvious that you are not a coach based on your bias remarks that’s why I suggest a bitter parent not making the implications everyone on these blogs are male and that is what your actions and words suggest.

All forgiven you know not what you speak about, no need to ignore me I will not be responding to your ignorance again.

Sorry, let me explain. That was Chris Carter. How could anyone support courruption. All I am saying again, I have NO PROBLEM WITH TRANSFERS AS LONG AS THE FOLLOW THE RULES BY GHSA!!!!

Rudbuck- Travel will always be an issue for Region 3AAAAA schools do to economics. Most schools want to play better competition in and out of state but just cant afford to. Take Bradwell for example. They are in very small Liberty County wich has two more highschools, Liberty High and GISA back to back to back class A boys champions First Presbyterian Christian Academy. Now you have this small area splitting the money and talent pool three ways. Camden County is a one highschool county who’s football program generates more revenue then each of these schools combined sports programs.

The Regions Savannah schools are even worse. The are AA and AAA schools posing as AAAAA schools cause its cheaper to travel cross town or 45min away to play. Those trips to Camden they have to make every year really hurt especially if its not on a friday. The students get hurt by having to miss class. Thats a long ride on a bus.

31313 did make a bold prediction, I even thought Bradwell would make it to the Final Four and then run out of gas but the tank emptied early. I can see where he thought they were do though. These girls are 80-8 over the past three years. 43-1 in their region over the same time period. They made the elite eight the last 2 years and the Final Four in 2004. Back in 1993 they went unbeaten until the final and Beach won it all in 2004. So it can get done out of Region 3, its just a little tougher to get there, especially come playoff time.

To all who dislike the accusations being made get over it until it stops it will always be a sour subject. Most of us know its not all schools but that are doing make it bad for all Metro Atlanta schools. The guilty by association theory I guess BB-Fan no reason to defend your school if there is no wrong. Coach 1 you seem to be so sure of recruiting scandal why post it on AJC so strongly so often? I made my comment about on another blog GHSA wont fix it because of the money thats brought in with turning their heads I know of 3 schools that are legit RCHS,MG, and SWD others may have kids from out of area but whos choice was it? did the parents want the change or where they recruited if there is no paper trail or video it never happened. So lets get back to talking HS Basketball and get away from the less known scandals. my final 4 will be Jonesboro vs MG and Fayette vc RCHS but anything can happen between tonight and Friday

JJ lived in East Lake apartments with his grandmother (his legal guardian as his mom died in middle school) for his two years at Wheeler. Ari and Rich lived in East Lake as well. Phil grew up in wheeler feeder programs, moved with his mom to nyc in 7th grade, then came back the year after and lived with his dad. Joey and Chuck are both from NYC originally. I know Joey lived in a neighborhood off Robinson road for the two years he went to Wheeler. Chuck has been in district his whole time at Wheeler. Jelan lived out of district, don’t know how he ended up at Wheeler but really couldn’t care as I (and many other Wheeler fans) wish he would have never come to Wheeler as he destroyed the team’s chemistry.

Don’t speak on what you don’t actually know Zone3scan.

Valdosta 60- Langston Hughes 32, I’m just saying, I think thats a 28 point loss, I’m just saying. I actually did fall asleep, I’m just saying. Hughes was suppose to make noise in the region and change things and lost 2 times and came out #4 in the region, I’m just saying. They were suppose to make all this noise in the tournament and lose in the 2nd round to Valdosta, who were suppose to be weaker, I’m just saying. So the bottom line they finish the post season 1-3, I’m just saying. On top of that the sister school, who was suppose to go down and sweep region 1 lost too. Oh and by the way lets make it a clean sweep, the whole region lost tonight. That’s right region 2 lost all 4 5-A games tonight, I’m just saying. So some one was correct in saying there is not much difference between the #1 and #4 team in the region, I’m just saying.

@AAAA-fan, If you even had an inkling of what’s going on in these blogs, you would no there was a blogger who’s name was “just saying” who kept insisting Hughes would make noise, and always quoted I’m just saying, which I do agree is annoying. So his team that he blooged so much and took all this space on here lost, and I’m just giving back a little bit, and glad I don’t have to endure his I’m just saying tactics. So read these blogs past and present, before an un-inform fool (you) speaks with no knowledge of what’s going on.

Kudos to a great Miller Grove team. I think we (Chiefs) lost to the eventual state champs (and not because they beat us). Giving up 4-6inches in the 3 big spots and at least that at the guard spot can only last so long. We proved we could stay with them with our first five, but MG has so much depth. Played with so much heart but also di MG. Hats off to them and impressed with their game!

Also take note that the talent in 4A have been playing together for years and in MG case for the last 2 Championships anyway.

I can’t help but think it would have been much worse in their house. We’re going to need taller players if we’re ever going to compete on that level. Still, I’m very proud of our guys for their fantastic 29-1 season, doing everything they possibly could with what they had. Congratulations to Miller Grove.

I went to the MG/Sequoyah game last night. Sequoyah gym was crazy something you see in movies I have been to many games all over the state and I have never seen the backing that I saw from Sequoyah fans. It looked like a Duke game at Cameron indoor stadium. The Chief’s student body was something epic.
@ Bleed Red the young men from MG have played with each other for three years and they are best friends and a close nit group of young men. Understand what you saw last night is one of the best teams in the state. Norcross, Milton, Wheeler, SWD, MG, Columbia, FC, South Atlanta have proving to be the cream of the crop in Basketball elite. Not to take away from any of these teams but how many have crossed played and how many have been invited to tournaments with the best in the nation. Because these teams are in different classifications you can never really say who is the best in the state but when you do met head to head for the day you can say you’re the best. MG played South Atlanta, Columbia, SWD, and Milton and their record is 6-1 who else can say that.
To all the young men left in the tournaments good look to them all. And to my DeKalb County School that have boys and girls still in the dance good luck.

The AAAA State Championship game was played last night at Sequoyah High School. Congratulations to Miller Grove on their Three-peat! Seriously, it is a shame that the playoffs are set up the way they are. If Miller Grove had won their region, then we could have seen the top two teams in the State play each other in the championship game. As it is, we had to settle for a second round match-up. Miller Grove will not see another defense the rest of the way to compare to Sequoyah, and they should have no trouble breezing to another title! The real test was last night and they managed to survive!

Just a question

Mudcat you are foolish if you believe that the otrher teams still playing dont have just as good if not better defense than Sequoyah. I am glad you guys made and played as hard as you did hopefully they can build on a great season.

The MG & Sequoyah was no act of survival and clearly it was not a test you could not have been at this game mudcat ……

There are four teams I have seen play this year that are still in the competition that have a better defense that Sequoyah and could get MG’s big 3 in serious foul trouble.

I don’t know what makes you think Rockdale will smash SWD….they have no one that can stop William Goodwin, Jordan Price or Kadarius Turner.

Mr.Coach

March 3rd, 2011
12:45 pm

Mudcat….you must no leave your area if you think Sequoyah can beat SWD or Rockdale, last nights game may have been your Championship game. SWD can beat any team in the state when they come to play, and I do mean any team.

AAAA-Fan

March 3rd, 2011
12:58 pm

Mr. Coach, u are outta yo mind if you think SWD is going to defeat us(Rockdale). Tomorrow SWD can hang those hoop shoes up because they will be sitting in the stands on the 9th.

They beat MG and you think they are unstoppable. Get out of here!!!

Rockdale beat Heritage by a large margin both times and SWD barely beat them so that LUCK is about to run out!!! The only reason luck lasted this long is because they were home now that they are on a neutral court IT’s OVER!!!

Mr.Coach

March 3rd, 2011
1:44 pm

AAAA Fan Just answer the question ……who is going to stop William Goodwin and Jordan Price. Yall can meet at Golden Corral in Conyers and try to figure that out after the game…but it will be to late then. Lol

BullDOG

March 3rd, 2011
2:00 pm

LOL. but really all jokes aside.

I got this one AAAA-Fan,
Box William out the prevent him from guarding the basket and getting so many put back rebounds and make price come inside that 3-pt line and since there was no mention of Turner in your second comment you must know he’s not a threat!!!

Problem solved on to the next one!! Your are probably thinking easier said than done but RC can do it watchout FC we are on our way !!

Mr.Coach

March 3rd, 2011
2:44 pm

I just tried to make it simple for you by leaving Turner out the second time he will get to the basket at will.. Price will be able to do whatever he wants to do….and Goodwin is one of their leading 3 point shooters. Rockdale better come to play thats for sure. Its going to be a good game, will you be there Bulldog?

Really

March 3rd, 2011
3:50 pm

no comments on MG, i think Rockdale and SWD will be a real good game. The key match up may be CJ vs. Turner, the PG’s. I take CJ in this one. Also not sure either team has been in big games before, but each ROckdale. K ware may have a big game, I see Mr. Price getting furstrated. Who ever wins may have there hands full with a well rested MG team in the finals. SWD might have done MG a favor by loosing…looks like Cedar SHoals, Sequoyah, Villa Rica, and ? on the way to the championship. They may only get tested once. Does anyone know how many teams in GA boys history that have 3peated as state champs/Hell i know its early but can MGHS 4peat? They seam to be the only other team in 4AAAA bringing back as much talent.

Just a question

March 3rd, 2011
8:22 pm

LOL J. Price will be on lock he is a good big gaurd but he faces 2 gaurds faster and just as tall. he will not be able to get the ball down to Shaq. Mr. Coach how do you only consider one side of the ball who will stop Ware, Thompson,Wilson or Clark. they will impose there will on SWD, they will shoot them out of a zone and run them out of man-man. no more options. Only the Refs can save them

Just a question

March 3rd, 2011
8:25 pm

@Really that is a very true statement what do you thin about Jonesboro they seem to have some size to compete against MG?

4Real

March 3rd, 2011
9:46 pm

What you should be asking is can MG compete with Villa Rica, everyone is already counting Villa Rica out and the first buzzer have not sounded.

Mudcat

March 3rd, 2011
10:44 pm

I was at the Sequoyah vs. Miller Grove game and I stand by my statement. That was for the championship. The winner will go on to the AAAA State Title. No defense in AAAA is quicker and more aggressive than Sequoyah. Miller Grove will have no trouble the rest of the way! Mr. Coach, I have seen S.W. Dekalb play and they would have no shot against Sequoyah. Rockdale either. We used to pound Rockdale when I was at Newton County!

just a question

March 3rd, 2011
11:15 pm

Use to past tense the best matchup for MG is the Rock no other team has the quickness length or depth to compete. MG did not get beat by SWD they lost knowing DC,SWD,FC would beat each other up. Smart move Mudcat please be quiet no more silly chatter from u ok . Time to go to sleep rocka-by

SWD Panther Paw, Metro ATL, and Rudbuck,

I have’nt disappeared a all. I was out of town on business and was unable to respond to you all comments. However; I will address them all now. But first let me first congratulate McEachern on their victory over Number 1 Region 3-AAAAA Bradwell Institute Lady Tigers. Clearly they were the better team that night.

SWD Panther Paw, and Metro ATL maybe you are right. maybe the schedule need to be strengthen to play stronger opponents. But I take absolutely nothing away from Bradwell Institute. They had a great season, and they played their hearts out. I belived that this years Lady Tigers would go all they way. They were not ranked No. 1 in the State Class AAAAA Polls for nothing. But you know, I was not the only one who thought that they would have went further in the Tournament. As I can rember, Rud Buck, you predicted them to make it to the Final Four. You even stated that they would get passed McEachern. You forgot to mention that in your comments.

I make no excuses for Bradwell Institute loss, and I can take the loss in stride just as well as I can take the numerous wins that they have achieved too. 80 wins and 8 losses over three years is very impressive in any Class. So I will tell you this: No one on this Blog can shut me up nor silence me. I will speak up, and for my Bradwell Institute Lady Tigers as long as Bradwell Institute still exist. I find it funny that you three, and myself were the “ONLY” one taking in stide the spirit of competitiveness for our favorite teams here in the blogs, Now all of a sudden the quiet ones whom I call the silent minority now begin to speak out and jump on the bad wagon to send wise cracks. It only shows the cowardbess in them. Had Bradwell Institute won, their mouths would have still been shut.

But again, I send out a Kudos to MCEachern on their victory over Bradwell Institute.

SWD Panther Paw

SportsFan31313 – It’s all good…..the only comment I have is that the polls should always be taken with a grain of salt. The polls don’t indicate anything other than someone’s opinion that may or may not have seen the teams they decide to place in the poll’s play. It’s all just based on a teams record and that point is proven during the play-off’s………..

RUDBUCK

March 4th, 2011
8:50 am

Yes i did sporstfan31313, but I must tell you to refer back to the statement, I mentioned that Bradwell Institute should be a final 4 team. I also went on to say, their toughest opponent was McEachern, and if they get pass them, it would be no problem to the final 4 as I believe they could beat any of the 2 other teams in the lower part of thei bracket.

I agree with the poll statement. Most of these in-state polls are based on what the record is. It seems like it doesn’t take strength of schedule into consideration. The proven teams go and play the good teams of other regions via tournaments and rivalry matchups. Others also go on to national tournaments and play top competition. But that percentage is small, but yet some of the schools that beat up on other local schools get the chance to be ranked, which of course get weeded out during the state tournament, and some of these ranked teams have been blowned out. So the polls aren’t truly representing.

Mr.Coach

March 4th, 2011
9:24 am

I am so tired of hearing about Sequoyah Mudcat…..you think they can beat SWD the team that beat Miller Grove once and almost beat them twice. You must be kidding me!!! Good luck tonight to all teams that are still in the tourney.

SWD Panther Paw

March 4th, 2011
9:26 am

MUDCAT —- what have you been drinking?????? Sequoyah would have a hard time beating Columbia and South Atlanta….they don’t play anyway near the tough competion as some of the top teams in 4-A. You guy’s got beat by 19 points at home!!!!!!!!!! they were a paper tiger…….and spare me the ‘we used too’ stuff. This is 2011….when has Newton County been a power in anything???????

ChiefSupporter

March 4th, 2011
11:32 am

Okay, is Sequoyah at least a Top 10 team in the eyes of people on here? I believe so. Remember folks, MG killed Rockdale even worse, beat Milton by 10. Although, I understand that doesn’t mean anything. I think Sequoyah should end up ranked 5-7 at the end. They’re obviously better that Cass and Hooch because they’re 4-0 against them. I think they are probably better than Villa Rica from what I hear from the Creekview Bunch. Say what you will 29-1 is an accomplishment. All you hatorade drinkers never stepped foot in a gym and saw that team play this year, because if you did you wouldn’t be hatin’.

SWD Panther Paw

March 4th, 2011
11:52 am

ChiefSupporter – the difference with the Sequoyah game is that it meant more than a regular season game. ‘It was the play-off’s!!!!!!!! and you guy’s were at home. No one is interested in a 29-1 team that when faced with the only true test on their schedule they failed miserably……. but in spite of that you want us to believe that somehow they are still the cream of the crop. So what are you basing your assumption on that you’re better than the 8 teams that are still in the 4-A play-off’s……….having not seen most of them play yourself???????? You Sequoyah people need to let it go ready.

ChiefSupporter

March 4th, 2011
12:25 pm

SWD Panther Paw- Have you seen Sequoyah play?? If so, and you don’t think they’re a TOP 10 team. Then you must be snorting blow with Quincey Carter.

ChiefSupporter

Or are you hatin’ because Sequoyah is mostly white SWD PANTHER PAW?

Mr.Coach

March 4th, 2011
12:48 pm

I got your back Panther Paw I don’t care if Sequoyah”s players are green……..they played in a cake ass region and you know it Chief Supporter. If they had played in the Region with SWD, Miller Grove, Tucker and Chamblee do you think they would have been 28-0? Of course you dont!!! And leave Quincy out of it.

Paul Mokeski

March 4th, 2011

I think that many of us would agree that Seq would not have made it out of Reg 6-AAAA. They would’ve finished behind Mays.

Of course, if you’re from the S.Canton area, you probably don’t agree.

Chief…………J. Adams is a very good coach. I know his family, and they are wonderful. However, 6-3 centers don’t hack it in the Big Boy Leagues

I think they could beat Tucker. I think they’d be the 3 seed in region 6. Honest to goodness. What the majority are saying in this blog is white folks can’t play basketball. Whether you like it or not, you know that’s why you’re hatin” My question is why not comment on how Chattahoochee, Cass, and Villa Rica played in a cake region as well? Why all the white boy hatin’? Whites were also included in Dr. King’s dream.

Wow!!!! ChiefSupporter ….playing the race card……… the color of your team has nothing to do with anything. What a ugly turn……I guess you had no more valid point’s to make…… I must have a struck a nerve……..No matter how bad you cry that still won’t make Sequoyah any better……your season is OVER!!!!!!! Quincy Carter????????? seriously. :>)

MG over Villa Alabama big

For those of you who really don’t believe white folks can play hoops, check out Duke – year after year. Check out the Boston Celtics teams of the 1980s. For those of you who think Sequoyah is not as good as SW DeKalb and other teams in Atlanta, that may be true. Nevertheless, Sequoyah was good. They won 12 games by 5 points or less, a big-time overachieving, high-spirited group that was finally brought down by a basketball-player mill. They knew how to finish a close game. Final record: 29-1. Not too shabby.

@ Joe: Thanks for the optimism. Sure hope you don’t live in Cherokee County. The Chiefs definitely don’t need “fans” like you.

SEQUOYAH HAVE NOT HAAD THIS MUCH PUBLICITY EVER SO AS LONG AS THIS BLOG IS HERE THEY WILL CONTINUE TO POST.

WE are on to the next 1 no time to discuss could’ve, would’ve,should’ve and maybe next year it’s over good run for your guys but move on and don’t take away from the Elite Eight.

Too bad for Sequoyah, MG lost to SWD in the Regional Tournament otherwise they would have been playing SWD in the 2nd rund and all these disputes could be put to rest. Futhermore no need to fret Sequoyah if SWD pulls off anymore wins through the finals we will be waiting for them at the finish line getting fitted for another ring.

Not saying that it is impossile to beat MG but we have been here too many times within the last few years and we know what it take to WIN and by no means would SWD come out with another victory!!!

Not at Gwinnett Arena that’s our HOUSE!!!!

Good Luck Tonight MG boys and girls, oh & you too SWD!

Rud Buck, SWD Panther Paw,

You two have made your point and have pointed out sand have made your case as far as trength of schedules, and Poll Rankings. I too agree wth Hollabackk as well. The Metro Atlanta are very strong due to the size of the school and the talent that exist. They have a larger pool of talent to pull from in contrast to the South Georgia Schools. Then you take into account of the economic status with some of the County therof as well. It will cost a lot of money to play Schools in North Georgia in the regular season. But man how I wish that it could happen. What could be done that I thought of is play the top ranked South Georgia Teams such as Statesboro, Warner Robins, etc. They maybe in a lower Classification but it could help boost their strenght. Nevetherss when it is all said and done, it will boil down to the financial backing to get to play stronger teams that is located in Noth Georgia.

Thank you two for your comments……… :-)

Good run for my SWD Panthers….we just ran out of gas in the second half and Rockdale lived at the free throw line. We will be back next year. Miller Grove will cruise to the championship now. SWD was the only team they feared.
