AAAAAA blog: Overrated, or just laid an egg? Lassiter, Lowndes, Valdosta left to pick up the pieces
How do you explain it?
The easy choice is to say that Lassiter, Lowndes, Valdosta, Region 1 and Region 5 were overrated and exposed Friday night.
But if that’s true, then why did Region 1’s No. 4 seed (Colquitt County) beat Region 1’s champion (McEachern)? It doesn’t make sense.
Remember that Lowndes and Valdosta dominated their regular-season games with Colquitt County, although Colquitt made those games close in the end.
Meanwhile, McEachern routed North Cobb. And North Cobb lost to South Cobb. Marietta lost to North Cobb and Newnan.
In other news, Region 8 (Grayson, South Gwinnett, Parkview, Brookwood) swept Region 5 (Lassiter, Walton, Milton, Wheeler).
The only shocker was No. 1-ranked Lassiter (10-0 entering) falling to No. 4 seed Brookwood (6-4). Parkview beat Walton in double-overtime. Both players were missing their best running backs. Milton played South Gwinnett close.
But what happened to Lassiter?
Were these teams overrated, or did they just lay an egg?
Here are more things to think about as we enter the second round:
- Lassiter became only the second No. 1-ranked team in the highest classification to lose in the first round since the GHSA expanded the playoffs to 16 teams in 1990 (and then 32 in 1996). The other was North Cobb in 2007. Those are the only Cobb teams to enter the playoffs ranked No. 1 since 2000.
- Hughes, North Cobb, Brookwood or Mill Creek will make the semifinals from what might be called Cinderella’s quarter of the draw. Hughes won its first playoff game in history Friday against Rockdale County, 37-3. North Cobb won its first playoff game since 1979 against Valdosta, 42-14. Mill Creek won its third playoff game in history against Alpharetta, 41-39. Brookwood won its 43rd playoff game, but is a No. 4 seed. Only 12 No. 4 seeds have made the semifinals since 1996. The last to do it in the highest classification was Peachtree Ridge, which won the title in 2006.
- Crosstown rivals Valdosta and Lowndes were simultaneously beaten in the first round for the first time in history. It’s only the third time that both failed to make the second week of post-season since 1978, when Nick Hyder won his first state title at Valdosta. Those seasons were 1993 and 2006, when both failed to make the playoffs.
- Gwinnett County teams went 7-1 in the first round. It took three upsets – Mill Creek over Alpharetta, Parkview over Walton and Brookwood over Lassiter. There has not been a season since 1996 that schools currently in Region 1 or Gwinnett County did not win a state championship in the highest classification. The nine remaining teams that meet that criteria are Brookwood, Camden County, Colquitt County, Grayson, Mill Creek, Norcross, North Gwinnett, Parkview and South Gwinnett.
- Parkview won its first playoff game since 2005, which was the unofficial end of the Parkview dynasty that netted four state titles from 1995 through 2005. Parkview was 136-19. Parkview is 41-34 since.
- Colquitt County is 9-2 since 2009 in road playoff games under Rush Propst. No team or coach has ever had such consistent success on the road in the playoffs.

I can’t stand Colquitt, not the team its the coach. I have said it a 100 times, the man has no morals, he didn’t leave Al. on his own. Good games last nite it’s tough to win in the playoffs an off nite and your done. Congats to all the kids that moved to the next round. Play ball. Someone knock Propst out of this thing.

Title town…why bring up the stupid race card in this post. How about saying: North Georgia football has adopted the South Georgia football atmosphere over the past decade that was started by Valdosta many years ago. Which means, stronger booster clubs, great youth programs that run the High School systems, bigger stadiums behind the schools that bring out more community involvement, etc. There are your reasons that North Georgia programs have caught up to South Georgia. This is not saying we are better or pounding our chests, but the days of South Georgia dominance are over. Sure there may be a great program like Parkview or Camden that can run the table for a few years, but let’s all be mature and understand what’s happening today and the future and not 20 years ago.

One other point. Why do we argue about the best regions and the North against the South? I believe there is not a lot of difference in North and South Georgia football anymore. Maybe back in the 80’s when I was playing, but not anymore. I think last night really proved that.

Titletown your are the biggest moron I have heard on this blog-the great teams in Gwinnett and other metro Atlanta teams have great white players and black players-look at Grayson for instance-they will probably when the state title this year and have a nice mix of white and black players.Geez did you quit school in the 6th grade.

Simple. North Georgia fans don’t respect south Georgia’s history. South Georgia fans don’t respect North Georgia’s current uprising because they feel it’s nothing to brag about.
North Georgia argument: What you did in the past no longer matters. Those championships happened a long time ago. It’s all about the now.
South Georgia argument: So, you’ve won a few championships recently. You still haven’t done as much as we have.
No matter what side you are on haters are going to hate.

Cat doc, there’s another one. Cry cry cry. We love it.
And I could care less about the signs thing. We’re still playing and they’re not. But you don’t think they can’t relay a throw or run signal from the box to the coaches through headsets. They have 15-20 seconds to do it. Plenty of time. Like I said, I don’t really care, but it’s amazing what grown men will do to try and beat Propst. 3 out of our last 5 losses has involved buzz, a whiny grown man who’s mad bc he got fired

@Colquitt Supporter – I appreciate your comment at 5:36pm. It annoys me no end when so-called fans diss or trash the teams and coaches they supposedly support when they lose or otherwise have a bad game. These 15-18 year-olds have worked too hard in Spring practices, Summer camp, and tough practices throughput the season ( to say nothing of the time spent in the weight rooms off-season) to be treated as though they are deliberately laying down. They deserve our encouragement and support and if a “fan” can’t give it without reservation, go sit on the other side of the field.
Another thing that annoys me is for the North Georgia bloggers to paint all us South Georgia bloggers with the same brush that they use to paint certain Camden/Lowndes/Colquitt posters who have the Muhammed Ali attitude that we’re the greatest. Most of us are no different than @Fred or @GwinettDad. We really like our teams and hope the best for them. But above all, we really like high school football.
Okay, I’m off my soapbox. Thanks for listening.

I grew up in Gwinnett and have lived between Cobb/Fulton/Cherokee for the last 10 years. There are alot of good kids and coaches over here and they play pretty good football. The big difference is lack of commitment to the weight room. There are structural class scheduling issues that got taken care of when I was a kid to get you in weight room every semester, all four years. I don’t see the same willingness by administrators over here to get that done. Right or wrong, that is the way it is. Also, many programs over here lift as little as 3 days a week in the summer. This whole “have to let em recover” philosophy has taken over in lifting. Back in the day, they said, “your 16, no recovery necessary”. I’m no sports physiologist, but having 30 or more kids per team that could clean 200 was common. You may say back then some schools were on the juice, but most did it the right way. I don’t see that over here. Coach Conn was a savage workout warrior. His kids play like he puts him through the same routine. I think some kids on this side of town would be shocked to see what goes on in summer/winter in some Gwinnett programs. Its not true across the board. Kell plays extremely physical football. They would hold their own in Region 8 just fine. Sequoyah used to play very physical. You just don’t see as many as Gwinnett.
To the person who wrote that the only reason metro Atlanta got good at football was the influx of African American players to the country, that overlooks what teams like Southwest Dekalb did back in the day, Tucker at any point in the history of the school, or all the state championships Gwinnett won in the 90’s when they were white as a sheet. Either you are suggesting black coaches or white athletes never got it done. You are wrong on both points.
To all the South Georgia fans, be happy you are still the only show in town. I feel sorry for these kids and coaches today in the metro area that play to half full stadiums. Its like putting on dinner and half the guests have better things to do.

This is what I LOVE about High School Football!!!!!!!!
Although it is the kids who make the plays, it is all about coaching.
I attended the Lassiter – Brookwood game and my kids will go to lassiter.
But, Coach Crews was my High School Football coach in the late 80’s, so I wanted to see a good game.
That is what we got and I what made the difference – COACHING – Brookwood out coached Lassiter and it is why they won – Plain and Simple.
BTW – I do not think Printz is a Div 1 QB and will not make at Missouri – he is very talented, but there is just too much work required for him to make it at the next level – I hope I am wrong, but he is not one of those “rare air” players.

Some of the shots that I make at Region 1 are at the select few that come in here and talk about what should have happend, bad refs, the population in Atlanta, 30 years ago, on and on. I personally have come into this blog and have complimented the Camden fans and program. Maybe the Camden people have more class than the majority of the fans from Region 1 and give their North Georgia teams more respect.

To all my Southern Georgia and region 1 football fans, Don’t let these North Georgia fans get under your skin. Don’t even entertain them with feedback by responding to some of their horrible posts. If we had 8 to 12 teams in the playoffs I’m pretty sure a lot of our teams would still be playing also. We are still well represented, Camden and Colquit will serve us well. They act as though a decade has passed since a championship was last won in South Georgia,lol. Hint/Hint Camden just went back to back a few years ago so how can they all of a sudden claim to be dominate? Hell, Camden still has players on this years team that played in the championship game a few years back,is that recent enough for all you haters!!!! Good Luck Wild Cats and Packers.

Congrats to Valdosta and Lowndes for another good season. I know it didn’t end the way u guys wanted it to but hey go back and count how many aaaaaa teams there are in GA and just know u were one of the 32 that mad it to the playoffs. Their r a lot of seniors who didn’t even make the playoffs so they had no chance of even playing for a state title.Teams like Coffee and South Cobb didn’t make the playoffs but had a good team and could have done damage had they made the playoffs. Even Archer who lost 2 critical games by a few points to Brookwood and Parkview could have made some noise had they made the playoffs.So at least u guys made the playoffs and had a chance to chase the title.Good luck to all your seniors and hope that they have thier heads on right and get ready for the world cause when u get grown and out of school they know have to play a new game called the game of life and it is a playoff atmostphere everyday and everyone is hungry for the title!!! Once again congrats on another good season

Ok let me sum the play-offs up. I am a Camden fan and I can assure you that any team can loose on any given night (No Matter how good you are or how high you may be ranked). Our Wildcats did not play very well against Hillgrove. I give Hillgrove a lot of credit. They played hard all night long and they had a lot to do with our inability to score early. If you make mistakes in the playoffs you will loose the game. The teams that make the least amount of mistakes have the upper hand regardless of how good their opponent is. Our Wildcats will remain very humble, work hard and prepare each week for a dog fight. Showing class before during and after the game will never have anything to do with the final score. Remember we all want to win; however winning or loosing with class will always manifest a positive impression on a football program. Good luck to East Coweta. Have a safe trip to Kingsland and be prepared to be treated with respect and dignity. GO WILDCATS

If one were to access blogs from any recent years regarding High School football in Georgia, the semi-Civil war of words of North GA football vs. South GA football would be about identical to the words above ad nauseum.
Nothing more than the perceptions of some folks that apparently don’t have anything better to do.
Good luck to the 16 teams remaining. My condolences to the teams that lost in the first round. I’m convinced that the players and coaches don’t pay any attention to this blog for good reasons.
Talk strategy. Talk the Wing-T or Good D, or 3-3-5.
But this north vs. south is petty garbage promoted by little minds.

North Gwinnett is far from under the radar screen. These guys are loaded with speed, size and talent. Most importantly – they are very well coached. They will compete hard against Grayson next weekend. I am predicting Bulldogs whip the Rams. Friday’s game will likely decide who will represent this side of the 6A brackets in the finals.

BTW…Lassiter was over rated as was their QB. QB simply can’t lead a team through a championship grind. Started in the 8th grade when he and Tyren Jones couldn’t win the NGFL junior high championships at Wheeler with a 23-0 streak on the line. Great arm…not enough fire in the belly.

Just to interject a little sanity here…I am a Camden fan and I hope that they win it all. In fact they have a good chance. But, so do the remaining teams. If Camden doesn’t play more consistent on offense (turnovers and penalties), they are going to find themselves in trouble sooner or later. As far as North vs South, being a relative newcomer (20 years) to Georgia, I believe the South has the recent history on it’s side. That said, there are some up and comers coming out of Gwinnett and others. How about we just PLAY THE GAME!!!

@ TitleTown USA == I stated it as I saw it. There will be no changing in my thought process. The truth is what it is. Region 1 was and is not what all thought. Valdosta never had a chance since they were not that good to begin with and Lowndes played a softer schedule than many thought. They were not battle tested, as they or all region 1 posters thought. I give Colquit credit because they were picked as a favorite early on and lost a couple but are still here. They deserve to be here. The other two don’t.
@ Observer == No one can be what region 1 posters are. I only give it to those that deserve it, good or bad. The posters you mentioned were the most guilty of all and they should be able to handle it if they can dish it. If you are not in that group, all the talk was not intended for you. I am sorry if I hurt your feelings. Region 1 just was not what you all thought. Lovejoy is in it to win it. I will support them until the end. You are wrong about me whinning. What have I said ? Get back to me and show me this puffed-up stuff you are refering to.

These R1 towns live for high school football. It is the only game in town for most of these communities. Stadiums are filled for most games and there is a buzz around town on Friday game days. Kids go to these games and grow up dreaming of playing for their hometown school. Fans become emotionally attached to their teams. With all this going on, you get some “crazed” R1 bloggers.
The truth is there is good HS football being played all over the state. The best teams usually have the best coaching, and best tradition of winning.

What happened to Lowndes? Hell, ANTHONY JENNINGS happened tp Lowndes! What does it take for the AJC to give the kid his due? Every week you have to read the Marietta Daily to get an accurate report on JENNINGS. Newnan’s head coach was quoted as saying: “IF THERE’S A BETTER QUARTERBACK IN THE STATE, WE DON”T WANT TO FACE HIM.” This from the Marietta paper. Another quote. This one from Lowndes’s Head Coach, McPherson: “HE WAS THE DIFFERENCE. HE’S A DIFFERENCE MAKER. HE’S EVERYTHING AND MORE THEY SAY HE IS.” This from the Valdosta Daily Times, where they also described JENNING’S game clinching 88 yard touchdown run in the 4th quarter. “JENNINGS RAN THROUGH THE ENTIRE LOWNDES DEFENSIVE LINE, MAINTAINED HIS BALANCE, AND OUTRAN THE VIKINGS SECONDARY ON HIS WAY TO AN 88 YARD TOUCHDOWN RUN.” How can the AJC continue to ignore the best dual threat Quarterback in AMERICA!?

I enjoy traveling to the Valdosta area and I believe there is plenty of places to have fun outside of going to a high school football game. I also believe that The strong programs in North and South Georgia bring out the fans because it’s the place to be and there is no other place that kids, parents, players, etc. would want to be. Every community has other distractions, but we choose to go to the games to socialize with our friends and support our school and players.

FalconGuy45 – In the past three years I have travelled to VHS games at McEachern, North Gwinnett, and North Cobb. Each trip was very enjoyable, made more so by the hospitality and good naturedness of the local fans? All of us real fans of high school football enter another world during football season and go into withdrawal when our team’s season ends. I really hate that I will have to wait nine months before I can attend our Monday night TD club meetings again to see the game film and talk with the coach, and then cook sausage dogs for the team after practice on Tuesdays.
I really envy the teams that have successfully entered round two of the playoffs and will avidly follow them. It is really going to be interesting to see how Grayson, Camden, Colquitt and, yes, even Lovejoy do.
Meanwhile, I don’t want folks worrying that Cat fans here have nothing to do. We’ve got such cultural events as the Flatlanders Frolic in Lakeland, the Honey Bee Festival in Hahira, the Alapahoochee Antique Tractor Show near Lake Park, and the Peach Festival in Morven. And as Shankit said, the VSU Blazers are still in the chase for another Div II national championship.
But still, there’s that big empty hole ……

Nchs character and leadership skills comes from the formation of the unity council this summer. The team is changed . They have unity . It’s not perfect but much better than the last 2 years . The unity council came from Tom Osborne , head coach of Nebraska . Our team attitude has changed and so has our record . Don’t fool yourself Valdosta has character unlike some other schools we played this year . Teams that play with character and great team leadership win more often . That is my opinion only and bore fruit with Tom Osborne as the coach of Nebraska . The young men take ownership for small attitude problems before they get bigger and report back to the coach . The issue gets solved . Some kids will not approach the coach but will talk openly with a voted in player of the unity council to discuss with the head coach . His worst record at nebraska was 9 wins and 2 losses . It’s not perfect but beats losses . The team is must happier .

Until we redraw district lines in Lowndes County, Valdosta will continue to suffer. Ask anyone in the know, until decent lawabiding tax paying parents send their kids back to the city school instead of Valwood, (a recent private school powerhouse btw), Valdosta will not win bigtime and should drop down two classifications where they belong.

Mighty Mighty Wildcat…. I have heard that during my travels and it’s a shame that the County doesn’t recognize that. Unfortunately in this new 6A classification, a lot has changed and you must have the student body population to build a competitive program each year. Many of the old power houses: Lagrange, Griffin, Clarke Central were hit with this issue and had to move down a classification. We are also hit with constant redistricting up North due to new schools opening up. I know Gwinnett county is extremely strict on an athlete choosing schools. Permissive transfers are even hard to get for teachers kids. My point is, everything has changed.

You know Northside was in your region for a couple years and mutual respectwe had for each other , epic games were played….It’s really time for Lowndes to get with the program ……Region 1 hasn’t gotten any worse ,The North GA schools have stepped up their game the last 5 years..Grayson is the flag bearwe now , but you’ve got the likes of Mill Creek and others that will be a force soon…Look at Northside’s offense from 2005-2007, We went 44-1 in those years with the shuttle pass and misdirection plays ..The Camden and Whitewater debacles were a clear indication that change was needed , Take a look at the Northside offense now ,multple formations, I can’t even call a play now and ive been watching the Eagles for years……Lowndes running the same offense for years and everyones seen it and has caught up to it.
