I can only sit here and wish that I could find more topics to garner as much interest as high school football gets in Macon. As of 11:25 tonight, my last blog had 225 reads which is what I am hoping for every time I write something. Thank you for the support.
I had a friend of mine who I think I will hire as my agent that helped me get the word out about my last blog, and she helped it grow from 135 at 2:00 pm to 225 tonight. She gave me some great advice and that was "John I can get them to read one blog, but you have to have interesting stuff for them to come back once or twice a week. A truer statement has never been uttered.
I am going to write a bit tonight about my pickems for the newspaper that will show up in Fridays paper. I am not leading, which is a disappointment, but it is still early and I still hope to win. But we have difficult games every week and this week is no different.
FPD-Stratford- The most difficult thing is picking a game in which you have seen neither team. I picked Stratford to beat Aquinas and they threatened but could not get the win at home. I was in Mark Farribas office on Tuesday and I made the statement that I had picked them for the upset against Aquinas, and he got this look on his face, then looked away and said something to the affect of I hate that people think that would have been an upset. That made my mind up who I was picking in this game.Farriba, I believe, thinks his team is pretty good. I think that the Eagles have too much fire power for FPD, but I also think it will be close. Cephus could have a big toll in this game and who does FPD have that can go up with him and make a play on the ball. McSwain can run with him for sure, but we are talking 5'10 against 6'2.FPD has shown that they are a pretty good defensive football team, but they have lacked firepower on offense. It's time that Greg Moore unleashes some weapons for a spark.
I will take Stratford by a score of 27-21
Peach Co- Central- What a game this could be. Its at home for Central , who is still looking for that signature win, and beating Peach would do the trick. After seeing Central last weekend, I don't think its going to happen. Evans and Childers shine but I had to take Peach County in this one
Peach 24 Central 20
Mount de Sales-Twiggs - I literally have no idea who will win this game. Both teams are 1-3 but Twiggs is coming off an impressive win against Hancock Central , who had defeated Tattnall a week earlier. I have no clue how good either team is, so I went with the home team
Twiggs 26 MDS 20
Tattnall-Wilkinson Co= I literally have no idea who will win this game. Tattnall was 3-0 and then got pounded and showed maybe they aren't the team to beat in its sub region. I know nothing about Wilkinson except Central beat them 31-0. Once again I will go with the home team
WILCO 31 Tattnall 24
Howard-Perry Perry will be ready to play this game but this is an absolute must win for barney Hesters team if they want to make the playoffs. Don't bet against Barney when he has to have one
Howard 30 Perry 14
That's it for now. Go watch a game and thank you for the support
