Posted this in the comments board in the game preview article but I’m moving it over here just to stir the pot as the conversation continues…

Compared some of what I’ve seen from both teams, some stats which can be a little misleading (Tucker’s D, for instance during the regular season, gave up most of its points in the second half, long after the starters had taken off their pads; most of Northside’s offense came on ONE play). Biggest difference, as we have seen over the years consistently. Lovejoy has fine team; Tucker has a PROGRAM. On my radar screen, Tucker looks like a 24-0 or 24-7 winner. Special teams play and Tucker’s propensity for shooting themselves in the foot with stupid penalties (how many false starts against Northside? 7?) could make it closer. Lovejoy may stop one or two of Tucker’s backs… Northside shut down Minor and Rivers, Landry ate them up… but they’ll have their hands full chasing all four. Hard to see where Lovejoy’s offense will put points on the board.

So, there you go… Let the chest beating continue. Good luck to both teams; it’s an achievement to get to the Dome. Hoping for no injuries. We want to see both sides at their best.

@ eagle1 Did you even watch last week’s game? Or has your bias made you color blind to the point that you got the two teams mixed up. Both offenses had their problems at different times against superior defenses. I saw a game between two teams that were fairly evenly matched; yes, a bad break cost Northside the victory but that happens. Nothing I’ve seen convinces me that Lovejoy plays at the same level as either Northside or Tucker.

Well at least Grayson talking smack in a rap to Walton will not get students shot. If I were Grayson I would be careful which schools you DIS in your rap videos. They are funny and cute but I am sure there are some punks that will get very angry over your songs.

@rwdekalb I share your concerns. If Lovejoy’s D is as good as advertised and Tucker struggles for points, they cannot afford half a dozen false start penalties, fumbles or special teams screw-ups. When the playoff brackets were released, the one opponent I feared the most was Flowery Branch, because of Coker. If you look at the teams that have given Tucker the most trouble over the years, they were the ones with strong QB’s… Creekside with Berry, Ivory of Northside, the tall kid at Statesboro. Lovejoy does not have that; their defense will have to win it for them.

@A person SMART enough to know — They did not “DIS” Walton at all. Is was all about Grayson getting to the DOME and making it our year. There was not trashtalking or if you even think there was it was so mild. The Brookwood Where You At had more trashtalk but they are Grayson’s region rival. You need to compare the videos

Buford was down by 14 with 1 minute 20 seconds to play and they had the ball inside their 20 yard line. Calhoun went in to a prevent defense which prevents you from rushing the passer most of the time. With all day to throw Buford took the ball the length of the field to score. Calhoun got the ball back with a minute to play and couldn’t get a first down so with about 40 seconds left they kicked to Buford and there was a bad snap and the kicker tried to run with the ball and he fumbled to Buford with about 20 seconds left. Buford threw a pass and tied up the game. Calhoun ran the clock out and they went to over time.. Buford got the ball first and fumbled to Calhoun. Calhoun on their very first play kicked a field goal ending with a Calhoun win.

@ga gator, and Plowboy- Viking,

I am not an atheist, but it was good players and coaching that won the game for Calhoun, NOT Jesus, no matter what the coach said. Saying that Jesus won the game for you is saying that Jesus is aginst the other team, that is not the case. It was a good game and Calhoun won, Jesus or no Jesus. Great game. Congrats Calhoun!!!

AAAA will be won by a north Georgia team.
AAA will be won by either a east central or central Georgia team.
AA was won by a north Georgia team.
A is the only chance for south Georgia to win a championship and it depends on a Savannah school..wouldn’t touch those odds!! If Landmark Christian beats Savannah, then the north would be 4 – 0 in championship games with the other championship going to central Georgia. Appears again this year the Georgia high school football power stays NORTH. The “south may rise again” but not as far as south Georgia football goes. South Georgia football is dead….R.I.P.

Friday nights- It will never happen, but would lovvvvvvee to see any of the other class champs line up against either Buford or Calhoun. Higher the class does not necessarily mean better teams or talent. Its as meaningless an aurgument as the BCS, but it is fun to argue. Buford is as big or bigger than any other team, and Calhoun is as fast or faster. Tucker, Grayson, whoever….bring them on.

You people challenging Buford and others to come play with the “BIG BOYS” do realize that Buford would have double the number of students to chose from than they do now to qualify for the top classification unless you want a “gimme” against a smaller school.Get over it each class has its competetion and outstanding players-there are benefits to not having 600 students in your graduating class.And no I am not a Buford fan.

The Buford people always running their mouths about being the best no matter what classification. If they played in 4a or 5a they would play teams as good or better than Calhoun 7 or 8 times a year just in their region. I thought they had all of these great players, but hell, a ton of their players played both ways. Coach, you shouldn’t have kept giving the ball to #32 he was playing the whole game, he looked real tired in the 3rd quarter. It’s easy to coach when you play inferior teams evey week. What a joke.

a few thoughts on last nights games Calhoun almost gave it back found there composure and won it in OT great game…Tucker simply outmatched Lovejoy… but one thing I notied most of the Tucker starters were Seniors they have played on that stage and were prepared by a tremendous coach.. they will be losing a lot of players next year… repeat may not be as likely… Lovejoy seemed to have more underclassmen and a majority of their team was Juniors Lovejoy moves up to 6A they will be favored to play for their region championship…They were not ready for the big stage they should have opened up their offense in the first half… the Tucker team keyed on their #22 RB and took him away.. there strength was the short passes they will move up to the bigger stage next year we will see if they can make a run up there… looking forward to tonight… I would like to see Grayson get theirs…

Sounds like Obama and other politicians on here.

Just tell the truth. The A and AA private and city schools recruit like hell.

They have ruined what high school sports should be about. They don’t build their kids and programs up and teach work ethic. They take the college and pro way of going out and buying what they need.

Private and city schools are the big market Yankees and Angels while the public schools are the small market Marlins and Pirates.

This attitude is a cancer in our society. Whats worse is that now you have schools and people who used to never consider cheating that now are getting real close to crossing the line. Still doesn’t justify it though.

@the originalbluesbrothers,Your right the Refs blew about 6 Huge calls…Watch the first Buford touchdown,…see how #8(Kirby) was wiped out on a clip just as he was about to make the tackle on the RB??NO call…watch the blocked punt in the 4th when buford tied it,..See the punters head snap around being pulled by the Buford tackler?? NO call…..I could go on and on ,but in the end The BEST team did win finally.I am glad to see at least 2 Buford folk come on here and give Calhoun its due,even though the BAD CALL thing gets throwed in.Thank you…To the Calhoun Gordon Co.local..Your an Idiot,and I doubt a Calhoun or Gordon Co/local…Ive coached most of those kids on Calhouns team in little leauge baseball so whats your next lie peckerwood??

The GHSA has let this get out of hand and if they had the guts to even try to fix it now I’m not sure they could. In fact, I know the bunch that is there now couldn’t.

This is a A and AA problem for the most part right now b/c those are the easiest classifications that a few recruits can make “the” difference in winning games and championships.

It isn’t the right solution but part of me wishes they would just do away with any rule that limits mobility from school to school. Everyone on the same page and playing by the same rules. What an idea!

I know everybody wants to win every game, but. How can any Buford fan, coach or player act that classless because they didn’t win their fifth state championship. Players crying on the sidelines, towels coverig their face like they’re ashamed about losing. Give me a break. A BUNCH OF SPOILED BRATS! Don’t worry mommy and daddy will buy you trophy. And please, i don’t want to hear “They are only kids. leave em alone”. They”re 18 year old men. That’s the ones i’m talking about.

Observer, you are right on. My frustration is not aimed toward the private or city schools, their kids or their parents. It is directed toward the GHSA that allows it.

The best example I can think of is the former pro basketball players kids. A couple years back the daughter goes to Buford and the son goes to GAC. How is that right for the kids in say Charlton, Lincoln, or Union County with no “come from where ever you want to rule as long as you, or someone, can pay a fee, and be eligible? How is that right for those public school kids??

Smart enough to know, I wish every parent could send their kids to the school of their choice. It would then be a level playing field but now it is not. My argument makes me sound like a liberal but I’m very conservative and old-fashioned. I just don’t feel that other schools and kids should have to play against a different system.

High school years and athletic competition is important to a lot of people. It builds a life-time of memories. Poor kids have memories too! I just want the field to be level in that the rules are the same, NOT the talent or work ethic. Those attributes come from the inside of the communities , players and coaches. Then the best team that worked the hardest wins, not the ones that had the means you speak of.

Lastly, I’d feel the same if I lived near a private or public school and my child could attend one. I’m not saying I wouldn’t take advantage of the chance for my child, but I’d realize that I just happened to be on the side that gained from a flawed system.

@GT Vet: Yep, I can’t believe a squad of players can win a state championship and their best players are ranked “two stars” by Rivals. I guess that’s why a bunch of “two stars” came to the Georgia Dome on September 3rd and beat a bunch of “four and five stars”…….

Given the stage last night and all the talk about how ‘pumped up’ the community and school were for this game…..where were all these people???

Old School;I agree with most of your take on things.The bottom line is that there will never be equality on the playing field(or in the classroom for that matter).Counties that have 1 high school and no city school will always be at a disadvantage.As far as allowing attendance between the 2 I say that should be left up to the local school boards.We must also remember that these transfers arent made just for athletics.I know a career teacher at a county school who chose to send her son to the city school because of the greater facitities afforded him there.He played no sports and finished #2 in his graduating class-reminds us that some of the rules in place are for benfits other than extracirrular activities.

CONGRATS to the Tucker team, coaches, parents, boosters, teachers , bloggers, the whole nine yards. Very impressive head coach and very discipline kids. This school doesn’t get quite the hype as some of the other metro schools but two football championships and a basketball championship within the last five years, not bad. Y’all should be proud!!

@ GT VET:

The peeps who post on here are a VERY small sampling of the population. Most Buford fans – and our team – ALWAYS spoke highly of Calhoun. It is greatly unfortunate that you have such a jaded negative attitude towards our community and schools. Hopefully all the nice Calhoun folks I met last night are more representative of their hometown than some on this mb. They were very gracious in the victory.

Observer, I know facilities, academics, even coaches and teachers will never be equal. I’m not advocating equality or a type of parity. I just don’t think adults, or an organization run by adults such as the GHSA, should allow certain schools with different enrollment procedures the chance to compete against schools without those same procedures.

A kid that lives in Dawsonville, for example, could travel to Buford or Lovett and legally play. But a kid who lives anywhere else outside of Dawson County can’t travel into Dawsonville and play legally.

No way that is right. Its ruining kids opportunities to experience the playoffs in A and AA in every sport. Go to the GHSA site and click on past champions and look at the trend.

Yeah they win but if a coach can’t win at a private or city school, then thats a sorry coach or sorry recruiters. Either way they need to be replaced!

Lastly, and I’m not sure of the real whys to this statement but I kind of admire Marist. At least they always have played up.
