I believe the winner winner chicken dinner of the Coffee vs Tift is ging to be a force to be reckoned with.

I followed region 1AA for years and I believe region 1/’6A are similar ………..even the 4 team in the region will be stronger than most 1st place teams in other regions……so …..dont count out any region 1/6A team in the playoffs……..

@Golden Isles – I agree. Tonights Coffee/Tift winner may well be 3rd seed out of region 1 this year. It’s gonna be exciting watching the region play unfold.

Tift-Coffee is a key one to watch. Two new coaches in Reid and Pruitt that come w/ state championship pedigree. I think the C’s have it tonight in R1 – Camden, Colquitt, Coffee.

Looks like Lowndes McPherson is a hypocrite. He goes to the state complaining about our players, and ghsa says we haven’t come close to doing anything wrong. Funny thing is, both his QBs are from different schools, one from Valdosta and one from Ware. Can someone explain this?

Deshaun Watson just threw about a 35-yard TD pass to #13. Gainesville 7-0 pending the PAT. …
Heritage is 4-0, and hasn’t allowed a team to score more than 7 in a game this season. Both teams are ranked.

Speaking of Deshaun Watson of Gainesville, it’s fairly certain that he will graduate as Georgia’s all-time leading passer/career. He’s just a junior. The record is about 9,200. Watson entered this game w/ 6,494. He’s got 1.5 seasons to make it.

Upset alert — Westminster 10, Thomson 0. Thomson is #2 in Class AAA. Thomson trailed 21-0 last week and beat LaGrange 49-42. Also trailed Burke County 14-0 this year and won 21-14. Apparently the game doesn’t begin in Thomson until the second quarter.

You folks watching the Valdosta-Camden game, hope you’ll give us updates. Thanks!
These defenses in Valdosta look very fast.
