Trojan 94-thanks I just read in the Carrollton paper that a number of players had the flu .Two starters played having not recovered which just makes the team’s performance that much more impressive.Looks like the state title most likely will be settled this Friday at Tyrone.

That Dude Says… you need to shut up. You are a scumbag disgrace and as a Sandy Creek Alum we totally embarrassed by your idiotic post. Fans like you need to be put in their place. Shut up and get off these boards so REAL fans can keep their friendly banter going. Jerk. Dont like it? I live in Tyrone punk…meet me somewhere and I will show your racist_butt a thing or two about respect.

@Just A Fan — no, the state title will be settled in 3 weeks. While Burke v SC is a big game, the winner still must win 2 more. As Buford learned last year, you cannot win a title before winning all 5. Many good teams remain in 4A.

Attention Burke County Fans: There will be a large contingency of Griffin Bear fans there on your sideline pulling for you. We hate Sandy Creek with a passion like there has never been in high school football (well since the R. E. Lee days anyway). but at any rate, please bring some of those good BIRD DOGS with ya’ll so they can help POINT out a win for your Mighty Bears!! Man I can’t wait for this one. Gator Green and the “bruise-crew” headed toward central GA baby….WOOOOOO!!!!

This use to be a good blog where you can have a little fun cheering on your team and making comments. It only take a few to mess up a good thing. I hope we have great weather for Burke and Creek, looking forward to some good defense and hitting in this one. I hope this game will be close in the fourth quarter. Don’t know what kind of stamina Creek have but I do know Burke seem to bring it in the second half. This will be a fun game and I am looking forward to seeing a great game. I hope it turns out to be just what we all been waiting for. I said I wasn’t going to make a prediction in this one but I changed my mind, Burke county 28 Creek 24. After this game I will be cheering for the Dawgs to pull out a close one against Alabama. Depending on which Aaron Murray show up.

Sandy Creek is a complete team. Burke is one guy and a bunch of supporting members. I think this game will be close for a half, and then Creek will pull away. SC by 21.

@u_dont_have_a_clue: Bring it coward. Real cute how you disappear for days and then pop up once the dust has settled. Doesn’t matter. We will see what happens Friday. Matter of fact, I’ll be back in GA for the Christmas, so tell this “boy” where you would like to meet. Dig it coward, I have a couple of buddies at Augusta Boxing club so I’m sure getting a couple of rounds of ring time wouldn’t be an issue. Put up or shut up punk. You have been challenged. Trust, my feelings can’t be hurt by some toothless country bumpkin who the world knows absolutely nothing about. All you have is this simple blog and pipe dreams of your past… Meanwhile, I’m easily Googleable and live in the most competitive city in the world. Who’s #winning? Date and time partna, date and time. If you wanna get personal I’ll hurt you, not your feelings…. I think other bloggers will agree that I have been pretty fair and have even agreed with some about the apparent ignorance of part of our fan base. So, for you to call me out (attempt to) is completely asanine. Go Bears!! Go Dawgs!!

@therealcreek…
Since when did you speak for all the SCHS alumni? Last time I checked I was one and so are whole bunch of my friends and none of them got your memo that they should be embarrassed by my post. You said fans like me need to get off here so real fans like you can keep up the friendly banter. I think you need to mind your own damn business. Did therealcreekfan get her feelings hurt by something I said? boo hoo
You want me to meet to you in Tyrone so you can show my racist butt a thing or two about respect? Why did you call me a racist? I’ve never ONCE posted one single racist thing on here. I would love for you to go back and find one single racist thing I’ve posted. I haven’t you little doucher. Really what are you like 15 years old. You want me to meat you in Tyrone? HAAAHAAAAAAH OK tough guy. Seriously you need to grow up or get on some medication.

@That Dude Says… : Don’t sweat it bro. As you can see from my posts earlier this a.m. there are some ignorant folks on here. I didn’t see anything racist in your post… Neither my black or white half were ever offended :O) The cat that wants to try and battle me has no clue.. He called me out after I said that Tha Creek (not my Bears) had a great program… Go figure? Forget them.. Should be a great game Friday between two very good teams.

@NYCDAWGFAN…
You are right about ignorant folks on here and people not having a clue. I have a fellow Patriot getting mad at me and talking straight nonsense. Then you’re a Burke Co Bear and you have a Stockbridge fan getting mad at you for showing SC some respect. It’s just simply amazing. I’m definitely not sweating it my man. As far as Friday night goes with all the athletes that SC/BC have I’m expecting a classic showdown Friday night. To bad it’s only Monday.

War Eagle-I stand corrected-I should have validated my statement with “barring any big upsets”.It just appears that those two teams are playing above all the rest at this point of the season.I still pick SC to win but I think the gap is narrowing.

To Grady fans, what situationa are you talking about, there were not that many penalties in the game, it was, overall a well played game, I do remember seeing on a couple of holding calls, it was holding on your offensive lineman, mainly because it was very obvious and right in front of the refs, so you really don’t have anything to CRY about, just think what the score would have been if Monroe did not fumble the ball, possibly 28-0, or worse.
