Thanks for the Printz stats Todd. Definitely think if they went after it for the first couple possessions in the 2nd half he would have been over 300 with another TD probably. HAd 2 INT, but 1 was on him and the other was just an unlucky deflection that went right to a Hillgrove players chest.
I think how the 2nd half went for Lassiter it will make them a better team. And I am not sure I want to be Sprayberry next week (though they have a nice D). If Lassiter gets out early again, I don’t think you will see any slowdown in them.

@Honcho:
S. Cobb won 29-22 according to the MDJ scoreboard (they do a very nice job with updates on games).

Mairetta over Pope 27-2
Harrison over Woodstock21-16
Kenn Mtn over Sprayberry 28-24
N. CObb over Starrs Mill 42-3

@Eaglenationrising – Why don’t you relax and let us enjoy football at Coffee. By the way. I just got back from the game and what a game it was. Thoroughly thrilling. Not some tired old 70-0 victory that you have to sit through each week. Yes it will take Pruitt and his staff a couple of years to have Coffee competetive. But it sure is fun to watch the work in progress. That’s reality.
GO TROJANS!!

YES they do. I said the same thing last week after the game at the Dome. He is an AMAZING talent, but no way he can do it by himself. He can’t get closet to 30 (or more) carries every game and survive the entire season in my opinion.
Watching the Lassiter game, a D like that (blowing up the line, constant pressure in the backfield, good coverage on WR most of night) is likely to give Walton a hard time. Much like Grayson last year, they got an early lead and then just blew up the backfield to disrupt the Walton bread and butter.

50-11 I’d say so….The last two td’s, you can blame that on 2nd team fumbles.

They did, but I thought it was a scrimmage. Might be wrong.

Well sand man is calling only a little more than 13 hours to kickoff.

The 1st couple of plays for Miami Central the Grayson D hit them almost as soon as they took the handoff. They seemed stunned and never got going. Grayson has some guys making plays for them that don’t get mentioned in all the D1 talk. The DB/kick returner #23 has played well in both games.
The reciever #9 made at least two good tackles on kick coverage.
Glad to see Camden whipped Fla as well. Now tomorrow North Gwinnett and Valdosta can whip south carolina

LOL at Lowndes’ announcer, Wes James. He’s worried about, in his words, ”the University of Moultrie and Camden State.” Yep, tough region.
