All the more reason for the Valdosta wildcats to knock off Camden in 2 weeks

Looking forward to that game. Taking vacation for the whole week just to prepare for it! Been a long time since region play meant something to me and the blue cats!

Cat Doc…as you come in on 84W, drive all the way into town until you get to Ashley St (right after passing Church’s chicken on right) and make a right, ride Ashley all the way down until you pass Gordon Street, about 1/2 mile you will see a KFC on your right, then you make a left on Force Street and you are about 2/3 blocks from stadium and should park wherever you see an available slot.
Also, if you GPS the address for Valdosta State University (1500 N. Patterson) it will take you to the stadium, it sits on the VSU campus actually…good luck and be safe coming to Titletown.

Northside of Warner Robins with all their wins in the past 15yrs gets no respect. We should have a State playoff between different classifications to see who is actually the best in the State..This is just my thought..

We are 2 and 2 against Candem County and missed playing Grayson because they lost before we got to them in the playoffs. The city of Warner Robins gets no respect.

Interesting….not a single mention of the Might Lowndes High Vikings! Since 1999 not a single team in the top class has more state titles! Talk about no respect. First team to make N. Warner Robins practice on monday when they first moved up to our class and got it handed to them. the State better be glad they put Camden and Lowndes in same region but now its double trouble to deal with.

@Blue Blood 83′
You have to play with the big boys to get that kind of recognition. Fair? Maybe not, but true. Georgia Southern is arguably the best I-AA football program over the past 20 years and I am sure their expectations are not to be ranked with Alabama, LSU, UGA, etc.

Blue Blood 83′…….When the pressure was on and the game really counted for all the marbles, which team shriveled under the limelight? Go Camden County Wildcats!

@jvillebil: Yes you are right, they won 3-0 then lost 20-0. But I guess beating the nations #1 (on some polls) counts for something. Either way go figure.
