@ fred…i understand that bwood / grayson is a rivalry game…..but bwood is a mediocre team,,,,a team grayson should of won easily,,,,not in the closing seconds,,,,then it was off a bwood mistake….its some great teams in the playoffs this year ,,thats better than brookwood,,,,,so doesnt that make grayson a little vulnerable,,,,i wdnt go 2 the extreme & say yall are overrated likke ppl said colquitt was when we lost 2 wr,,,,,but now i guess everybody can see a different team since the wr loss…wr was our eyeopener,,,,,so my ???? is was bwood yall eyeopener,,,,bc that game could of went either way…so ppl are thinking that after grayson performance last night that yall arent the team 2 beat….. im not taking anything from grayson,,,great fb team,,,but last night wasnt the same grayson team we been seeing all year…… to all the # 1 & 2 seeds……….just bc you get a couple home games in round 1 & 2 dont think you cant get beat in your own house,,,,any team that is taking lightly will slip up on you …best of luck 2 all the taems in the playoffs,,,,,goooooo pack

@MADDBALL – not necessarily. Brookwood won the state last year putting 52 on Colquitt and 45 on Hillgrove. They won 10-0 against Grayson earlier in 2010, and one might have, and probably did, say the same thing afterwards that you’re asserting now. The Brookwood Grayson rivalry game looks about the same each year. Don’t know why. But again, Brookwood only had the ball 2 times in the 1st half, one for a 3 and out. Can’t run up the score when you don’t have the ball.

This coaching staff has let these kids down. Playing 20-25 players and expecting to win in the second half. We can hang for a while, then the brain freeze takes over for this group of so called coaches. Next year will be a total night mare for this program. I will miss this once proud team.

Blah Blah Blah. After following and watching the CC Packers this season, they are completing unfinished business from last year. Determination, intimidation, execution, and precision pretty much sum it up for the Packers. Looking forward to a beat down on Valdosta and you city boys from ATL coming in to Our House in a few weeks.. Overall, we have more variety on offense this year and a killer defense this year. With the exception of one, we have taken down the metro teams one by one, and after watching Brooky play last night, they will not be a factor. This year,those Packer Boys are extra HARD!

I feel like I can offer an opinion on 1-5A. And I’m talking about 1-5A. Not the rest of the state. Poor ‘ol Tift has had a down year and has ran into a buzz-saw during the region schedule. Coffee and Valdosta are about equal. Average in the region. Lowndes and Colquitt are the cream. Colquitt is by far superior to Lowndes.
Coffee traveled to Lowndes and, as usual, played intimidated from the first whistle. Colquitt traveled to Coffee, brought a much larger crowd than Valdosta brought and wore Coffee completely out. Coffee played really well against Colquitt, holding to a 3-3 stand-off after one period but were just outmatched across the board by Colquitt. By far Coffee played it’s best 48 minutes of the year last night. It was a real slobber-knocker with almost all of the slobber being knocked out of Coffee.
Colquitt is head and shoulders above Lowndes. They proved it on the field. Beating them just as bad as they beat Coffee. Lowndes can excuse all they want but they don’t want to face Colquitt again this year.
With that said, I think 1-5A as a whole is better than an average year. I look forward to the play-offs. If our 3rd and 4th seed make it by their first round opponents all four teams should go deep into their brackets. Good luck to all of us in the play-offs.
And Valdosta…… Wear an extra jock strap next week.

cchswildcat86 – They look good I really can’t wait to see them play someone. The biggest difference I see between last season and this one is that they really seem to have improved as the season went along, Plus for the first time we really have the added dimension that if they stack the box with 8 or 9 men Brice will burn you , the kid is for real!

If Camden plays as sloppy as they did tonight, it’ll be a short stint in the playoffs. Fumbles, dropped passes, blocked PAT….

@MADDBALL – Yes it was huge defensive battle. It normally is between the two of us. I was disappointed in how we got way too conservative in the second half. We have a QB that can pass and we need to let him. Air it out some, not the screen pass we all see coming. On the Brookwood score, I told the guy next to me to watch, they were going to throw to the right and lo and behold, BW threw to the right and scored. I know they were playing off a little bit to try to keep from having a receiver from getting behind them but in my opinion, at that part of the field we need to be playing a little tighter.

@blu eagle – What was bone headed was sending Robert into the middle. Let him go outside some and he has a better chance as I will put him up against any 1 or 2 tacklers in a short yardage situation.
I disagree about not doing well against an explosive offense. After we turned the ball over, the defense held and we got the ball back. I think we can shut down most explosive offenses enough to make it a close game. I’m not saying we shut them down totally, just enough.

@MADDBALL – It is easy to say Brookwood is a mediocre team if you haven’t played them in this strong a rivalry game. I can’t really give you a good example from region 1 unless you look at the strong cross town Cats/Viks rivalry. Yes, Brookwood got beat a couple of times this year that they shouldn’t have but then so has every team in R1 for example. The schools are so close and the kids all go to the same churches and play in many of the same rec leagues and such that they all know each other. It really makes a difference.
As I said earlier, I think in the second half we got away from the things that have worked so well for us this year and I don’t know why.

MONTRESE KITCHENS ,is the best overall player in ga., a BEAST at safety, a force at wideout , smart , 4.4 speed, a big time hitter, a BEAST at RB, but the most exciting player is GATOR GREEN , THOMSON BULLDOGS, HERE WE COME, oh and by the way, THOMSON has not been playing anybody, just as butler……….

@plowboy-viking – No man. You’ve got me all wrong. I totally respect the Vikings program. What you hear me fussing about repeatedly is the “Jinx-Intimidation” thing the Vikings have going over Coffee. As soon as Coffee walks on the field with Lowndes you see their heads down and shoulders slumped. The Coffee/Lowndes thing goes back years and years. Regardless of the personal and record the two teams have when they take the field, Lowndes seems to be spotted 20 points before the game begins.
I was just saying that Coffee played toe-to-toe last night with Colquitt and got whipped. We hung our heads and flinched the entire Lowndes and got beat. I think that says something. Sorry if you don’t understand that.

Looking at the bracket it looks like Hillgrove, Walton, and Mceachern have a very easy paths to the 3rd round and should easily be in the last 8 teams. Camden will likely be there and North Gwinnett shouldn’t have much trouble with Valdosta. Colquitt will make it. MLK/Step winner has to get by the winner of Bwood/Pridge. So the Mlk/Steph loser gets Lowndes and the winner of that vs Grayson.
Grayson. Of the region winners i think Grayson has the toughest route to the final 8.
Camden v North Gwinnett
Grayson v Hillgrove
Mceachern v MLK

Can we just give the state title to any team in south georgia? Every region in 5-A just don’t play anymore and just hand over the title. WOW! I have no problem with compassion for your team, but come on people. Other regions play good football to. I think their is no clear cut winner in 5-A. I like teams that are balanced.

Fred,
I watched the wholegame with Brookwood/Grayson. Good game by both schools. Defenses were strong on both sides of the ball. You stated that Brookwood could hardly move the ball, the same could be said for Grayson. Brookwood stood up in the end against #1. the Brookwood QB made a very critical mistake after such a good game. Both teams will have to find some offense as the playoffs move along. Scoring will be paramount and at a premium this year. Some very good defenses out there. Both teams will do well in the playoffs. This year may be great for Ga.

Had an opportunity to check out Camden last night and a few observations from my perspective.
1. #12 is the real deal at QB. I see why Ga and other schools are after him. He has a great leg also. All kickoffs went 10 yads into the end zone. Causes teams to go 80 yds. He is also fast.
2. #5 is as fine as they come. Plays the corner better than many I have seen this year. Hard hitter and very fast.
3. #16 very fast and quick at receiver, Hback or whatever position he plays.
4. #22 is a fast and strong fullback, reminds me of that #15, in 08 and 09, but with break away speed.
5. That defense is comparable to any in AAAAA that I have seen. Very stout in the middle and very fast to the ball.
I know, it was a Savannah school, but they do what they are supposed to do, similar to Hillgrove and other schools playing bad schools. I was one to question Camden, but they need to be watched. I was told a starting Dline and tight end were out. Just my observations.

I agree with Fred and was thinking the same thing last night. Region 8-5A is made up of nine schools all from the south half of Gwinnett County. We go to the same churches, shop at the same stores, eat at the same restaurants, go to the same parks, and many the opposing parents work with each other during the week. Our neighborhood is half Archer High School and half Grayson High School. You live, literally, next door or across the street from a rival. We all know each other very well and sometimes it gets personal. Every week is a rivalry game.

@Packerfan78 first off the words blow out were never mentioned. Comment was directed at MADDBALL. A win is a win after WR’s horrible season last year. Losing is not the norm at WR or Northside WR for period. For what it’s worth the only people rehashing is Colquitt fans. There is no doubt that Colquitt has a fine team, but good teams find ways to win even when they are not firing on all cylinders. Good luck to the sleeping giant!

CoffeeC100…you must not have watched the same game that we the fans did last night. Yes, Coffee played good the first 18 minutes and then…and then…and then …they shot themselves in the foot. The second half Coffee couldn’t do anything…the “D” could stop the Pack. The “O” couldn’t move the ball.. The stupid Coaches looked like they didn’t know how to get out of the rain…and he!! it wasn’t raining. Colquitt beat our a@@ and it wasn’t pretty. They played their 2nd and third team last 8 mins, when Coffee scored its only TD.
Coffee will never be a very good team with Coach Eldridge as Head coach.The kids deserved better. If Coffee had the Colquitt Coach they would have won, are Fitz. coach..Ware coach, etc get my drift..Coffee coaches suck.
The pack could have scored 3 or 4 more time but took pity…
