Wheeler 17, Langston Hughes 12: Jacobi Green (42 yards) and Emanuel Beal (26 yards) caught touchdown passes from quarterback Elijah Staley in visiting Wheeler’s victory. J.D. Barron hit a 25-yard field goal for the Wildcats, who achieved their first 3-0 start since 1997.

It breaks my heart that Grayson lost… not…. by Parkview, and not did PV just win but I would call it a btowout……Meaning no disprespect, to any, just knew that grayson was NOT that dominate…. I know the feeling when the bulls eye is on you everone is gunning for you… and it was Graysons turn…. no it is not the end for grayson, i am sure they will crawl back in the hunt, but again NO repeat, and no hational champioship… They will have to do it the hard way, Can they win it all again, nope… IMO….

NG, was also overrated, as was many. Boy they are droppin like flies….and again still early… Walton way overrated… more than the latter… plenty more football to play.. all you teams above keep your heads up, nothing to get down about it is only one game……shake it off and there may be another chance arise……

It looks like my high school team Mceachern is going to have a down year. One thing for sure, their district is so small to pull players from, I don’t know how they can fill a team. If Hillgrove was not built right down the road, Mceachern would have those players AND THEY WOULD WIN EVERY GAME!!

Agreed on the weak coverage here. A review of the Lovejoy – Alpharetta game would be nice. Two good teams got hijacked by the worst officiating crew GHSA has ever allowed on the field. Tackling is not a penalty! What a joke! Even the Clayton County AD had to apologize. I think Lovejoy has a decent team, but we will never know after Larry, Moe and Curly from the GFOA laid over 200 yards of penalties on AHS and took away two turnovers after the play was over. Lovejoy gained 5 yards on their own on one 70 yard scoring drive. 11 vs 17 is not what football is all about.

Grayson is still a top team, i dont care what people say about parkview, they are a tremendous team that is just pissed off now. Im not taking credit from parkview for winning, we as(west forsyth) are always considered the under dog. Congraluations on the win, for coming out and proving that hard work beats talent any day. But after playing grayson last year i still believe that they are the number one team in Georgia.

@ Raiderfan == This game was not as poorly officiated as you lead people to believe. There were a couple calls that did not make sense but overall the officials did a good job. This was a good game and the players all played that way. I’m not saying the refs were perfect, none are but 200 yards in penalties means more than the refs need work. Personally, I did not see Alparetta get flaged any more than Lovejoy. Both teams made mistakes, mental mistakes and it cost them. Penalties did not play on those two goalline stands. Alpharetta had 1st and goal twice and turned it over on downs. One of those was after your fullback ran it to the 2 yard line. You must score inside the five yard line when you have eight(8) plays there. Good game overall. Good Luck next week.

That is funny, McEachern doesnt have enough players to fill out a squad, lol. McEachern has 2,000 plus kids. they lost all their kids to Hillgrove? Well, sorry McEachern has been broken off a couple of times before. But you live in Metro Atlanta. How many other schools can complain?

Lithonia sucks in football. But imagine how many kids they can have if MLK and Arabia Mtn werent built. Brookwood has lost a lot when Grayson was built. thats the nature of it. new schools are built and you just have to manage what you got. sorry they dont have 150 players to pick and choose from.

I have to tell you that the Lassiter Trojans offense is VERY explosive and teams will have a hard time defending all of their skilled positions. They have speed and talent and a great offensive line to boot. Our biggest problem is that they get up so big in the first half that they are letting up some in the second half. With the Walton and Grayson losses, it looks like the Lassiter could move up to #2 in the state.

The complaints about the AJC are legitimate. I can remember when I was a teenager in South GA(just a few years ago) when on Sunday mornings the first thing I would do was get an AJC paper, and it would have reports and pictures covering all the state’s Friday night games, EVEN SOUTH GA!. They always had a rep in the areas towns to send them in. Now with computers this could be done easily for Saturday’s edition. It’s pretty obvious in the minds of the AJC sports department, high schools barely exist outside the Atlanta area. The same with GPB. They should both change their names to the NGPB(North Ga Public Broadcasting) and NGJC(North Ga Journal-Constituion) respectively. I was also amazed someone “buried’ the Grayson score way down deep in the article, even though they were not just the #1 team in GA, BUT IN THE NATION! Somebody at the AJC trying to hide them?

The AJC might be an Atlanta based papaer, but they claim to cover all of GA. That is not evident here. If you notice on the friday night football blog, there are a lot of south georgia football fans on there talking about their teams and looking for scores. So, in my humble opinion, they are missing out on an entire market. As far as GPB goes, they will never get another dime from me because they do not cover teams south of warner robins. Now to football. Grayson showed us last night just what lack of discipline does for a team. Great win Parkview. September 28th, Valdosta Georgia, 8pm, we are coming, I hope you are ready. It’s our year.

@sportsnut, you are right about the goal line stand by LHS, but your recollection of the officiating is way off. 12-1 in penalties in the first half for AHS vs LHS. It is not possible to have kick catch interference if the receiver actually makes the catch. It is not spearing if you tackle the QB with a shoulder around the waist. It is not possible to have pass interference behind the line of scrimmage, etc. Those clowns from the GFOA were never going to allow that game to be competitive and should not be allowed back on the field by GHSA. It is a shame as LHS is obviously talented and shouldn’t need it, but no coach with any sense out of the region is going to agree to go to Lovejoy in the future if they are not allowed to compete in any reasonable fashion. That is why the AD was apologizing after the game. We will have to wait until next year to see how AHS and LHS match up in a game played according to the actual rules of football.

Many papers pick up stories from other papers or writers. Again this was picked up from “By Score Atlanta” same as if they were to pick up another “Associated Press” story. They post it because they believe it would interests the readers. I don’t understand why people keep blaming the AJC for something that clearly came from another source.

I agree with Raiderfan about the officiating. I would not be a high school referee for all the money in the world, but, these guys need to do a better job. Dutchtown played a great game at Luella and won big 35-10. There were some questionable calls. Our coaches kept trying to call time out and the side line ref finally told out head coach that he didn’t have a whistle and couldn’t call it. Really? I certainly hope our coach lets GHSA know how bad it was.

FNLF, the AJC is being blamed and ridiculed because they pretend to cover all the GHSA regions, but when it comes down to “crunch time”, they do a pitiful job of it! It’s not a state of GA newspaper but simply an Atlanta area newspaper. During the week the coverage and articles are pretty good and widespread but when Friday night and Saturday comes for scores and articles, etc., they disappear.

Lassiter just beat Kell which up until a few years ago, most of those kids were in the Lassiter district. Get over it McEachern. And speaking of McEachern, that long season they are about to have could be karma for the headhunting safety that got ejected during the Walton game. The punk was celebrating after he had been ejected and the fans were cheering him and no coaches bothered to rein him in and correct him. But when the talent is lacking they must feel the only way they can compete is to play dirty.

@ Raiderfan == Sometimes we see things we want to see. I am guilty of this myself, I would imagine. We played host to four playoff games last year and this is not an issue. Other than a couple bad apples from Kell, no one else complained. We are not responsible for the officials that call the games. We are not an independent school. All of that is handled by the Clayton County School System. They use several different organizations I’m sure. Besides, we will come to you to play if that is necessary. In the meantime, win and stay home for the playoffs or lose and go on the road.It is your choice.

Walton and McEachern played two weeks ago. The kid from McEachern is a not “punk” and I don’t recall seeing him celebrate. I guess it’s his fault that Walton lost. What does “karma” have to with a team full of juniors that lost to the #1 and #2 teams in the state? Karma is the poorly officiated MC/Walton game that came back to bite Walton in the #$-. Good job refs! See the video below on youtube. Before raider fans respond, look at the video and pause it from all angles. MC kid head is on the leftside of the body and shoulder across the chest. Jones lowered his head right before impact. For those that know the game, was it a fumble or incompleted pass? Walton got the ball where the hit took place.

GA Fan, the majority of Raider fans agree with you that the second hit wasn’t illegal at all. That Kell was doing his job. The refs were just probably trying to rein in the juices that were flowing after the first McEachern player got ejected for hitting #30 for Walton. I guess he was the same kid that was ejected in the McEachern scrimmage, according to Indian posters a few weeks back. I don’t remember his name but they stated he had anger issues. The hit on the tight end was illegal and vicious and it was when the McEachern team huddled and then broke into full out celebration, while he was still laying on the field, that upset the Raider fans. I think you would feel the same way. You are right about the hit on Jones but I think it was just the timing of it all and the refs made the call. I’m glad that you beat Pebblebrook. North Cobb was really good and fast and since Walton replaced 9 starters on defense, we had no answer for them. The opening 98 yard kick off return and interception for a touchdown hurt, too. Walton had 400 yards of offense and still got beat badly. We threw 32 times so the offense was more balanced this time. Good luck to the Indians the rest of the season.

You think AJC football coverage is bad? Wait till basketball season. Funny, college coaches are now calling Atlanta the basketball hotbed in the COUNTRY!! What a joke! The AJC doesn’t even start any coverage until late January, then it’s ONE game a Friday night with a paragraph or two on Saturday am paper. Tampa St. Pete Times is in a major league market just like AJC and they find a way to cover ALL sports all the time. I’ve forwarded their website to AJC many times for them to look at, and obviously they have no clue. Tampa depends on several writers and many contributors to get it done. AJC, PLEASE learn from your neighbors to the south how to cover HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS!
