I actually feel pretty good about Camden’s win. Hillgrove was a pretty good team. They hung tough with McEachern

McEachern was my “Dark Horse” in the playoffs, now that their out and Lassiter, I need to figure out who’s the new Cinderella. Let’s see how far North Cobb can go, maybe even West Forsyth will make a run.
Camden offensive players didn’t get their heads into the game until midway through the 2nd quarter. I hope they don’t continue to put the defense in bad situations like that. A top team would have put up 14 points or more off of the miscues.

Trying to get an idea of some areas where NG can exploit Grayson, but I’m struggling to do so by watching the replay of their game with Wheeler (if you even want to call it a game lol). Wheeler was TERRIBLE! Grayson could have easily scored 70 if they left the starters in. Wheeler went missing when defending the run and the pass all night. The Rams are still the team to beat.

I believe if you have any type of running game, a team will be able to throw on Grayson. I also believe it’s a real possibility to get outside on them.

Everyones Nose Running better known as ENR please explain how a team can go 17-1 in 2 years against a region of only 8 teams (including Northside, Warner and Houston cty.) and lose 2 of those games.
I know beating Lowndes once seemed like about 5 wins to you but really. Did you graduate from Northside?
Be careful.
What ever your answer it will not reflect well on either you or Northside. Help me out with this one now. I know english must have been your better subject and when it comes to math the best you can do is spell the word. Just curious……how many letters do you see in the word math?
Let me help you. 1.m 2.a 3.t.. 4.h See 4 letters. Now that wasn’t that hard was it?
Now why don’t you see if you can accurately count past 4 and help me figure out the answer to the math question I posed above.
Remember 8 teams means you subtract yourself because you don’t usually play yourself leaving only 7 teams times 2 seasons of which 2 you lost.
Oh wait that’s it. Northside played scrimmage games against itself in practice and you are counting only those game you won. I understand now.
And of course you like to forget the pain of losing to Lowndes because well that reminds of you of your most painful defeat in the history of Northside annals.

@Carolina GHSF Fan – I was going to let it slid but I’m still on page 16 and you keep digging your hole deeper! First – 6A has NOT been dominated by ANYONE because this is the first year! 5A, the former top classification was split even between North and South GA – 6 and 6. To further break it down, R3 had 3, R1 had 3, R7 and R5 split one and R8 had 5. If you want to talk Region and not North and South, R8 was the dominate region during 5A’s time as the top. That takes you bake 12 years and anything past that is nice but bears NO relevance to today as most of the coaches have changed (not all) and all of the players have changed.
Additionally, there are 17 Gwinnet County School System high schools this year. During the past 12 years, there have been a half dozen or more high schools open in GCPS. I specify GCPS because we also have several private/city schools that don’t play in the highest classifications.
If you are going to try to trash us, having your facts right would really help your arguments. As it is, you come across as someone who may not be as accurate as they might believe themselves to be.

@TuckyDawg – I was going to go over with you those to absolutely correct PI calls from last year but if you haven’t gotten it by now, I doubt you will. Keep right on believing. Safe travels, if you go with the team. (by the way, Grayson is 7-2 vs South Georgia so it goes both ways).

@ Fred… Grayson and NG just so happen to collide on my birthday. An NG win would be the perfect present. I might make my way to the game.

Behind to the #1 team in the State until 8 seconds left in the 4th quarter, into OT, then intercept the opponent, and kick a FG immediately to win. As Coach Crews said, regardless of tomorrow, a moment those kids will remember all their lives. What a night of football!

Wow it’s a good thing that the game actually had to be played. Judging by the AJC North Cobb should have just forefeited the game. I guess you thought Buck Belue and Jay Rhome were still playing. Way to go TQ, Shade and the rest of Warrior Nation

Valdosta newspaper is reporting that Lowndes coach is petitioning to change the name of the team from Vikings to Oneanddones.

How can Bk and AVikingfan leave without saying goodbye to me ? Of all the people that deserve a notice, it’s me. All year, Sportsnut this, sportnut that. Lovejoy this, Lovejoy that. What did I say about playing passing teams for region 1. When it was needed, they did not have it. They also fell prey to it on defense. I said Marietta would put it up on Lowndes and they did. Same goes for North Cobb. No problem with Valdosta. I have one more thing to say, Hush.

@YO….Lowndes gets beat and you want to kick around old nemesis Northside , who just happens to be the winner of 6 out of 8 against the Yikes(Yikes ,first round lost at the Palace)…..Really this should be a wake up call for Lowndes ……Randy’s got to upgrade his tired predictable offense , teach his kids some cover skills,and teach them that there’s more to football than the Wing-T. If he can’t get his head out of the sand maybe it’s time for him to move on…….North Georgia owns the Yikes now , Grayson ,Collins Hill, Mceachern ,and now Marietta walks into the Palace , plays flag football and proceeds to the next round. …Embarrassing man

@No quit: I see what you mean, but you can’t blame them. Over the last few weeks all we have heard is about the mighty Region 1 and it’s 4 monsters. How all 4 are getting thru the first round, heck even on page one of this blog post about watch out for Valdosta and Lowndes, they will bring their A game. Always talking about the south teams get no respect and could beat all thos north teams with ease cause they play no one. Where some post talk about the history and tradition, and so on and so on. Well after all the bragging all year, they deserve to get blasted, I mean who cares about the past, great they have won all those titles, but the past is the past, lets keep it about today and today they showed tru colors. Well tey both lost to north teams from Cobb, who were according to some post from region 1 not even the best region and lost. Now not saying you were the one posting, but all those others deserve to get ragged.

@ Yo, What’s up ? How are things in Valdosta Today ? Want to talk about Lowndes or Valdosta today. Bk bid us farewell. Lowndes was undone by not having played against a strong passing team and not having one themselves. This, as you know, was my reasoning behind doubting them both. Their inability to throw was evident in the losing effort.

After having my hot cup of coffee and sifting thru all the chatter, there is only one conclusion to be had. My Camden County Wildcats and Grayson are headed for a collision of monumental proportions. Should have happened last year and the game everyone wanted to see. Camden, the football program that is the envy of the entire state. It’s all very elementary.
THE "CANNON RULES"!!

Well I was planning to get hoe from the game last night and post…
I got in,started several post and then stopped…needed some deep breaths…
FIRST and MOST IMPORTANT…
the score—> EAST PAULDING 31 / CLARKE CENTRAL 23!!
RAIDERS move on to ROUND 2!!
Now the VENT…EAST has had issues thru the year (like many teams) with an several refs usually from the ETOWAH VALLAY ASSOCIATION! I have decided this is just going to happen…some take the job too serious and call a game way too close and don’t let the kids play while others are just plain STUPID with their calls! The best we can hope for is that one of the bad call (use mistake, error, missed or whatever term you want here) doesn’t change the outcome of a game… ESPECIALLY A PLAYOFF GAME THIS TIME OF THE YEAR!
Last night unfortunately was one of those games and as they announced the refs and where they were from it appeared they were each from different associations..maybe the G.H.S.A. does this and mixes them up?…I don’t know…
This game should have easily been EAST 38+ / CLARKE CENTRAL 9 (maybe)…
On the last TD drive alone these REF’s called 3 different 15 yard penalties against EAST!!! Late in the game allowing CLARKE CENTRAL to pull within the 31 / 23 score…this left the game within a onside kick recovery and a TD with a 2 point conversion of being tied!!! UNREAL!!!!
During the game they called pass interference calls against EAST when BOTH players were looking back at the ball and going for it. NO HOLDING, NO HANDS wrapped around the receiver nothing but two players…one going for the catch the other for the interception! AND they made the calls late after the play as if he had to “THINK ABOUT IT”.
They called bad grounding calls against the EAST QB while allowing the QB to be sacked, hit and rolled on without calling roughing the passer! While allowing the CLARKE CENTRAL QB to avoid a sack by simply drop the ball as he got hit and calling it an incomplete pass!
OK…I feel better now…………..again the most important thing!!
the FINAL score—> EAST PAULDING 31 / CLARKE CENTRAL 23!!
RAIDERS move on to ROUND 2!!
CONGRATULATIONS also to ALLATOONA for their win over HERITAGE / CONYERS!
and a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to NORTH PAULDING for their FIRST PLAYOFF WIN…on the road! and against the # 1 team from REGION 8 FLOWERY BRANCH!!
So REGION 5 goes 3 / 1 last night! GOOD JOB GUYS! (Sorry ROME)
TICK…TICK…TICK…BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
GO RAIDERS!!!
2012 REGION 5 AAAAA CHAMPIONS!…ON TO ROUND 2 and then THE DOME!!!!

To the Indians, hold your heads high, it was a great season although a lot of doubters thought we could only win 3 games, you proved them wrong with 5 more times. To the class of 2014, 2015, and 2016; it’s up to you to carry on, move forward, and do great things. To Marietta and North Cobb way to represent Cobb last night. So very proud of our cross town rivals and I will definitely root for you to make it to the “ship”. To Colquitt County, y’all played a great game and the best team won last night, Good Luck with the rest of your season. To all the bloggers on AJC y’all have been fun and at times enlightening. Good luck to your teams and I wish you a great rest of 2012. See you at the Dome in 2013!

At Watson Elementary School == Grayson has not made it yet, neither has Camden. Did last night not teach you anything about claiming victory before it is earned ? Both teams have games left and who knows what may happen.

Elementary-no one is envious of Camden. Actually the exact opposite, we laugh at your misplaced arrogance and your outdated offensive schemes. Norcross will send you boys home muttering to yourselves.
Region 1 is a punch line today. You guys are funny and OVERRATED!!!
Norcross is the best team in the state of Georgia.

@Sportsnut – well, thanks. The poem was a momentary inspiration. Bk actually stuck around last night to his credit. In the end, he’s simply overly exuberant, maybe I should cut him some slack. If Marietta can upset Lowndes playing there, Lovejoy should have a good test next Friday. Good luck.

@ GwinnettDad == Thanks. Congrats on the night. What was it 7-1 ? Thats the way to show where football is played. I have no problem with Gwinnett football. Good ball played over there. I don’t have a favorite in Gwinnett but I do have a friend who’s son is the center for South. Have not seen them much but I guess because of that I will be pulling for them. I really think Norcross is the real deal. Maybe we will see them if we both make it that far. You know where that will be !

The blog will be missing some Lowndes and Valdosta supporters. TitleTown, Yo, Viking Dad,Bksmith14, Dosta Cat, and a few others. They made earlier statements that their team could not defend. The key thing for all is not to bring up how young their team was for 2012, the referees cheated, their best player(s) was hurt, etc. . I hear theses excuses every year from some teams.
Man-up, accept your loss and look forward to basketball season.
