Interesting that you think Grady will not make the playoffs — that would be a surprise.

Parkview doesn’t have to lose twice for Grayson to finish first. Parkview and Brookwood have lost non-region games to other AAAAAA teams. That could hurt them in tiebreakers.

Despite the loss they experienced to Lovejoy on friday, Druid Hills is coming. They are playing about 8 freshmen on a regular basis. This game was a learning or teaching moment for them. They only lost 28-21 to Chamblee, I believe and are on the move up. They are the only school from Dekalb in the highest classification and it will serve them well in the future
