AAAAA roundup
By Score Atlanta
Gainesville 64, Harris County 13: DeShaun Watson went wild yet again, throwing for five touchdowns and adding two more on the ground as Gainesville hammered host Harris County. Watson had 421 yards and six total touchdowns by halftime, at which point the Red Elephants led 43-7. Caleb Hayman hauled in three of Watson’s scoring strikes, while Tray Harrison and Michael Byrd caught the other two. Chris Byrd and Jay Gaudelock added touchdown runs in the fourth quarter for the exclamation points.
Northside-Warner Robins 23, Tucker 20: Northside-Warner Robins treated its home crowd to a dramatic, come-from-behind victory over Tucker. The Eagles trailed 13-3 going into the fourth quarter before Curtis Martin scored both of his rushing touchdowns, including one from 56 yards out. Martin finished with 149 yards on 13 carries. Tucker still led 20-16 thanks to Juwaan Williams’ third rushing score of the game, but Glenn Smith hit Keshun Hill from 10 yards out for the game-winning score with 24 seconds left.
Ware County 14, Stephenson 0: Ware County defeated visiting Stephenson in a defensive battle, holding the Jaguars to just 63 total yards. Ware County gained 198 total yards, 101 rushing and 97 passing, but a 25-yard touchdown run from quarterback Jamar Johnson in the first quarter and a 3-yard scoring run from Xavier Tobler in the third proved to be enough. Ware County’s Tremon Porter had two interceptions.
Whitewater 24, Allatoona 3: Whitewater held visiting Allatoona scoreless for over three quarters to get the win. Running back Kendall Conley punched in two touchdowns on short runs in the first and fourth quarter on the way to rushing for 70 total yards. Defensive end Matt Ogle intercepted an Allatoona pass in the second quarter to set up Whitewater’s other touchdown, a 20-yard run by quarterback Jay Ashley. Whitewater also scored on a 37-yard field goal by Sam Leathers.

We will travel down to the place they call the swamp to play Ware County cause we lost the coin toss so we got to go to there house and get this win in the tough swamp…. So Big Blue lets go down south and rep Eagle Nation and play a good team in Ware County we gotta play a good game on offense cause there defense just held Stephenson to 63 total yards thats crazy so lets put the pressure on them and take it to them…. Gonna be a good battle Down South Throw Down.

@Sir Nupe A Lot , manhandled, I dont think so, Toona made too many mistakes and turnovers. Coach did what he has all year in substituting tb’s which makes us vunerable. He tried it against MLK but their talent made him go back to what works “10″. So if you know football, we where moving the ball well before the mishaps. Whitewater has a well coached team. 7 is better than 25, 25 don’t like to get hit,always looking for the cutback. Unfortunately we have a kid that’s even worst and the staff fooled themselves on feeding him against lessor talented teams for big games and where wishing he would pop one(haven’t did that since the 345 yd game vs poor tackling team). Whitewater stuck with their guy as we did against MLK and that made the difference. Sounds like you’re that guy that said no one in 5A could beat MLK. changed your name so you can blog again. fess up Nupe

From my understanding the QB fr Stepehenson got hurt late in the second 2nd quarter and had a chance to score on a block punt on Wares 9 or 10 yard line. The backup came in and threw an interception which the halftime would have been 7-7 instead of 7-0. Defense was very strong all nite on both sides of the ball. I look for Stephenson to be back next year going a little further. Their team was made up of soph & jr’s. Anyway great season & look forward towards the est of the state playoffs.
Catch you later KOD is exiting stage right

To compare Stephenson and Northsides offense shows your lack of football IQ no comparison. Secondly totally different offense than in 2007. Northside has been running this offense 3 years and they dam near perfected it. Ware has a strong defense but not better than Tucker’s. I don’t predict wins or scores but I do like Northsides chances

Well said montano, when they last played ware county they had that same offense and barely beat the gators, I believe one touchdown, the gators defense don’t makes my mistake (miss tackle, they stay in their lanes. That is why the game is played on the field Not in the blogs . Lol go gators!

@Kmilton Northsides offense has new coordinator since 2007 and has changed up the offense. As good as Northsides offense is the defense is the real deal

Northside runs a completely different offense then they did in 2007. They run one of the best spread offenses in the state. Teams get pretty caught up thinking we will run every down. Then get burned by the pass. I think Northsides going to do alot of quick passes and slants and run it up the middle and have pretty consistent drives. Ware’s offense is a one man show and will be dominated by the best defensive line in the state of Georgia!

@kmilton i don’t predict victories I simply put facts together and base an opinion. My opinion of Ware is they have a big d line a so so offense. After watching six game films my opinion stays the same. Northside has many more weapons on offense and are defense is the best any class in the state. Can’t control turnovers and referees so anything can happen. See you at the swamp.

@TOONAVILLE Hold up on that one sir, Can u please stop making excuses and just admit that Allatoona lost fair and square to a better team! Yall had TO’s and those r parts of the game, but Whitewater was better than yall in all aspects of the game and they deserved the W! There is no need for me to go change my name at all because I swear that yalls region was one of the best in the state, but it seems like that was a lie since there is none of yall left in the playoffs…

I can tell you this you can put all the pressure you want on this kid from GAINESVILLE but he’s a athlete if don’t beat you with his arm he break of 50 yard run on you. He’s a big fast boy with cool head. Film can’t prepare you for what’s coming .

I have no dog in this fight but these Tucker fans always talk but when it comes time to put up they can’t do it. I remember that “Tucker would win 5A if they played in 5A” talk from years past..well I guess you really can’t win it huh? No Dekalb county teams in the final 4? Please step y’all game up.

@Nupe, no excuses, facts! As I stated Whitewater is a well coached team. Your suggestion of being man handled wasnt true. Toona’s coach made a decision and it didn’t work point blank. As anyone can see, they moved the ball fine with first backfield, he made the stupid change and it was 3 in out from there on.

This will be my second trip to the swamp. I remember as our busses creeped through the narrow congested streets you could almost touch people sitting on their porches. It was obvious the stadium was a former baseball one of long past. Eagles were flying all around with little baby gators in their mouths. After NSWR’s win———The Eagles brought some of the little gators back to WR. They have been genetically changed to produce blue gators and raised to attack anything green.lol We are bringing them back so you gators have better be careful of any blue gator.
