@Carolina – a 1996 Brookwood championship is worth as much as a 1998 Lowndes. The 7 1/2 figure is true, as is the 8 for South GA. If that’s dominance to you, if it floats your boat, fine. That doesn’t make it so.

As usual You got it wrong. Again.
Two years ago every R1 team was eliminated by Gwinnett.
Lowndes by Collins hill
Valdosta by Grayson
Colquitt by Brookwood
Last year Colquitt and Lowndes were were eliminated by grayson
Valdosta by newnan
This year Valdosta by north Cobb
Lowndes by Marietta
So where is Camden been eliminating all the superior r1 teams so us less fortunate metro teams could have a chance?

Gwinnett did have 8 play tonight, and 7 won. No congratulations, though, from South GA. Nope. None. And who is supposed to have the class around here? I’ve already congratulated Colquitt, for example.

GHSF..If you go back 16 years you can add 2 more championship to region 1 and 2 more for region 8. Still not dominating.

Norcross improves to 11-0. We are looking forward to playing a tough South Gwinnett team next week. Alvin Kamara nehind that great O-line looked fantastic tonight, as did our QB Joseph Wilber. Our defense pitched a shutout with Chattahoochees only score a fumble recovery in the end zone.
GREAT JOB NORCROSS. Focus on next week and next week only.

I feel the venom. As I have said and will continue to say, 6A is wide open. Region 1 posters are trying to make nice now. they have claimed all year that they had the best four teams in the state in 6A. “Sweep” they say ! Barely won two. One assured and one by a thread. Yes Lovejoy did lose to Colquit, your # 4 seed but your number 4 turns out to be your # 2. That makes your 2 and 3 over-rated, which makes your region not that strong. It is what it is. Notice, I have not and will not address any blogger that has lost by handle. You will be addressed in generic form.

I am not going to say that, “I told you that there is no such thing as Region 1 – Southwest Georgia mystique,” but those who are regulars on this board know what I have said for years. You just can not be that good if a little Middle Georgia program rolls into your neighborhood and takes all of the cookies. North Cobb? Seriously?

@justafan… Cry baby, cry. Actually, I haven’t seen you on here the past few blogs.. Go back and read chump. If you scroll up on this page you will see your own fanbase turning against you. Even more, after Thompson beat us game 1 this year I came back on LIKE A MAN and gave respect. I know about the Purple Hurricanes pimp, though I wasn’t alive yet… But my family was there.. Hell, my granfather’s name is on every public school in BC (former board member).. So watch your mouth. The Real Bears are moving on to play next week. That’s all that matters.. and you are right genius. I won’t be there to see BC play any games because I LIVE IN NEW YORK AND HAVE A JOB!! Please believe that, if we are blessed enough to make it that far I will be streaming it live. For now, I can rest easy knowing there will be another game in the Bear Den next week. .. FYI, The “Real Bears” statement was made by a Griffin poster just a few days ago. Go wash the salt off your face.

Northside-Warner Robins rans through that region like a hot knife running through butter. Can one person from Titletown admit that the historic programs of Region 1 (Valdosta, Lowndes, Tift County, Colquitt County, Coffee, Bainbridge, Thomas County Central and Thomasville) have been completely EXPOSED over the past 5-6 years. It started by the region going 1-17 against Northside-WR. Domination, like that, by a program with “only” two state championship is simply a sign of mediocrity. People get upset when I call a spade, a spade. The level of football, coaching and most of the fanbases down there are slightly above average. That is it! End of story.

I want to congratulate all Gwinnett teams on a terrific night. A special Congrats to Brookwood for their come from behind win and knocking off the number 1 ranked team in the State. It stinks that we have to knock each other off next week, but it is truly the only way that GHSA can nuetralize the Gwinnett dominance.
Gwinnett will bring home the hardware for the third year in a row!!!!!!

@ JUSTAFAN No need to be salty. Both were trash talking to each other. Even f Burke does lose to Sandy Creek they don’t have very many seniors. 3 on defense and 2 on offense. They are a junior and sophomore laden team, so the team should get better next year. That’s a scary thought for other schools in AAAA. I was looking forward to the Battle of the Bears.

Brookwood made 2 adjustments that made a big difference.
1) On defense. I could not believe at first how small the Brookwood defense was that opened the game. Lassiter did not need to throw as the first few drives they could hand off and get 7 or more yards every time. This looked like a blow out in the making. Then all the sudden in 2nd qtr Brookwood has a much larger defensive line. Looks like they had a couple offensive linemen play both ways and they neutralized the run game.
2) On offense. Brookwood began spreading the field in the second half. The first half they were trying to run with tight sets and Lassiter defense was having none of it. Late in 3rd qtr Brookwood began running a more spread offense often with playmakers 11 & 32 on same side. It exposed the one weakness Lassiter has on defense – they are not really a fast defense. The corners can run and never let 11 get deep. But in the middle of the field there is not blazing speed. Brookwood got everything all spread out and 32 suddenly was finding room to run in the 4th quarter and short passes over the middle had some success.
Despite all that this was still Lassiters game to lose. A huge play came when 22 (Wilson) for Lassiter got hurt in 3rd qtr and did not return. Wilson is a do everything player. Catches passes in the slot to move chains, runs the ball out of the backfield, emergency backup QB, and HOLDS ON PATS & FGS. Lassiter missed a 4th quarter FG that would have put the game out of reach with Printz holding. He got the ball down but other than a few times in practice, I would bet it is the first time he has done it in a game.
Lassiter defense needed to make just 1 more play. A sack or pass break up would have done it but they could not come up with one and Brookwood got tying TD with 8 seconds left. Printz tried to force a pass that got picked off in end zone in OT and Brookwood kicks game winner on next play. It was spinning funny as it went through like maybe someone got a hand on it but got through none the less.
Getting a big lead early and then letting teams back in has been a pattern Lassiter has dealt with in many games in regular season. This time a quality team made them pay the price. So congrats to Brookwood and best wishes against Mill Creek.

Grayram……You still got it wrong! That wasn’t the post you commented on initially. Think about the times Camden was eliminated by R1. Which saved you guys from Camden. Anywho, I was specifically talking about 2009. Since NSWR doesn’t consider themselves South Georgia, I won’t call it an all South Georgia Final, even though they played in R1.

@Columbia Blue – thanks. It was good night for Gwinnett. I said it here before that after that HUGE upset of Camden to Hillgrove in 2010, Hillgrove played at Brookwood the next round rather than Brookwood traveling to Camden. And who would be in the stands sitting in front of me in Snellville? Camden fans. You folks do love football, period.

@GwinnettDad – needed some help from Jack Daniels to get it out but it feels better now.
I will not question the #1 ranking no matter how short it was. The fact that a Cobb County team could achieve it heading into the playoffs and even have a couple Cobb teams advance over the more traditional powerhouses after putting 2 teams in the final 4 last year shows how far Cobb County HS football has come. It is great to be part of the conversation as it relates to the best programs in Georgia and the trend line is heading up.
Good night.

I think you may have been having a few liquids while you watched the games.
You say Gwinnett posters are unbelievable because south ga has 4 teams and
lump Gwinnett with everyone in having 28 teams. Then say I got it wrong.
Then you say Camden eliminates the reg1 teams and when that is false you say i’m wrong again.
Its a little late but if you want i can go copy and paste for you

Last post for the night. I went 13-3 in picks tonight, losing Lowndes, Valdosta, and Lassiter. Two of three were in the lower left bracket. I know NOTHING about 10-1 Hughes other than to say they lost to 6-5 Wheeler that got thumped tonight against Grayson. North Cobb has to be heavily favored on strength of schedule. Then there’s a 4 seed (Brookwood) and a 3 seed (Mill Creek). Doesn’t that look like North Cobb to make the semis?
Last, the AJC ran an article, I believe, earlier in the season. It was something about how winning high school teams were changing from being run oriented to pass oriented. Really! The two QBs they featured, however, will be sitting from now on since they both lost in the first round.

I dont know what the reocrd is for Colquitt county against teams in and around Atlanta is but I think we are ahead in total wins v losses. Most of those wins have come on the road and without much help. i.e. 2 non exsistent PI penalties v Grayson last year.

@Heisenberg: Good summary of Lassier game. We ahd talked a bout it a little throughout the season how they never tried to put teams away, just were content with the lead. Was bound to bite tham sooner or later and did.
WR didn’t help Printz much when he was having to scramble and buy time. He would wait and wait ut no one would come abck to ball until late. Wilson would have been huge there.
Hopeefully Lassiter uses this as a learning experience for everyone and it helps them build an even stronger foundation. They are getting there, and I thought this could be the year to get to the finals, but the JV and below all look strong so just need to keep building and it will all fall into palce soon enough.

That number 1 for Hillgrove is a pretty good player until things don’t go hs way then he has to play dirty. Should’ve been thrown out of the game with Camden. Had to love the QB run from Camden. Well Camden go back to practice and keep that swagger you guys had in the three quarters of this game.
Wouldn't be surprised

Hey Camden1902 you cant fault the secondary on those two plays. That DB was inches away from interceptions and the last one didn’t matter anyway. Besides on that last TD the rec should’ve been thrown out the play before.
