top 15 (mainly offense ) players in Macon

I am alternating between high school sports in Macon and food blogging. I think it is a good combination don't you ?
Food blog will probably come out tomorrow.
First of all, I will  say a few things about a few subjects, because well, I can.
I want to congratulate the Mount de Sales Cavaliers on beating Tattnall Square for the first time in forever. They also beat FPD this year and I wonder if they have ever done that. If so it has been a long time, and Keith Hatcher has the guys playing hard.
I will also mention for a few my opinions on the debate going on about Mark Richt. I know some people are screaming for him to be fired. I can almost see justification for those people screaming for him to be fired. But really, why do people feel the need to attack a person in public forums? I will never understand that. If you want  him to be fired, ok talk at work about it and talk to friends about it, but why why why does it have to come off like it is an attack.
Personally, I like Richt and I think he has done a good job as head football coach. It is frustrating to watch what has happened this year. That's what happens when you don't have a quarterback. Brice Ramsey was brought in to sit and learn and be ready to play this year. When the coaches didn't feel he was ready, that caused a panic and that is what has led to this football team underachieving. Is it Richts fault ? Of course it is. But he takes his punishment like a man and I respect that. It is not my decision nor anyone elses except the UGA administration to decide to keep or to fire. So drop it . As for me, I will support the coach of my favorite team and not rip him in social media.


Ok now for the top 15 players in Macon. Everything is getting a little bit closer these days and I almost switched the number one guy
But,
I didn't
1- Derrick Evans- led his team to another win by throwing for 255 yards and a touchdown and he ran for another. Heres the deal with this kid. The Chargers have no running game since Antonio Sanders has been hampered by an injury. That pretty much means it's all on Derrick.And although Central will probably miss the playoffs, its surely not his fault. Dude can play at the high school level, and dude can most definitely play at the college level. Guess How many offers he has ? 10? 15? Derrick Evans has ZERO offers. He told me that Thursday. Here is hoping that things get better cause he is a  two  sport college athlete. NO doubts about it.


2.Couirvoisier King- The Howard quarterback has thrown for 1800 yard and 19 touchdowns, and ran for close to 500 yards and the Huskies are a step away from making the playoffs for the first time in school history. He has already led his team to its first winning season in school history. He threw for three touchdowns in a huge win over Veterans that kept his team in the playoff picture.
3- Alphonso Stephens- You may barely know who this guy is but he is simply the hottest receiver in the state, with 34 catches in the last three games including a 13-200-3td line in the last game. Oh yes in case you didn't know he plays for Howard. When is the last time a receiver from Macon had over 1000 yards receiving. I cant think of one. This guy is over 1000 already. He makes a big move to number three because he did it on the field and made me recognize him
4. Gerimie Mitchell- So the Seminoles QB is hurt so what happens. The 5'5 inch receiver moves to QB and throws for 233 yards, and almost leads his team to a win over Peach County. I will always have guys like this on my list, because its what you do for the team that is most important,
5- With that being said Steve Dolphus has to be next- He has 38 catches this year, which is a big number for a high school receiver and he has already signed with Georgia Tech. Who knows he might be the next Bay Bay
6- O'Showen Williams- He is averaging 11 yards a carry and has 962 yards but he is not the only weapon. If he was his numbers would be sky high. Watch out for him in the playoffs when they go to him a little bit more. I believe that O'Showen will choose basketball over football (just a hunch) but he could be an excellent college football player. We aren't talking SEC, but definitely next level.
7-Quintez Cephus- Wisonsin, Georgia Tech, and who knows who else is after this guy. If you had asked me last year if he even liked football I would have said no. He never was comfortable playing QB. But letting him use his athletic ability to go get the ball has seen him explode for 692 yards receiving with 12 touchdowns. Don't forget he is a dominating defensive player with 4 interceptions and 36 tackles. Yes I believe that this young man will choose football over basketball, but I dobnt believe he has seen the offer yet as to where he will go
8-Chandler King- Best defensive player in the city
9-Ivory Childers- Evans number one target who went 6-116 against Rutland. In my opinion three years of excellence at the high school level should get him noticed by colleges. Yes he's that good.
10- Savion Knowlton- Did not play in the Peach game but still has 16 touchdowns passing. Westside will need him if they are going to get out of the first round of the playoffs
11-Justin Slocum- The Southwest receiver is a college level talent, but I think he will end up playing basketball.
12-Khristian Tate- The man is putting up huge numbers but he is big and his opponents are not. I just cant rate him any higher than this. I haven't seen him play in person, but I have seen him on film. He is impressive and will probably get a chance to play college football. But I just do not know how he would be if he was at Westside or a bigger school.
13-Dontrez Johnson- Greg Moore , his coach, says he is just the beneficiary of a team turning the corner. Ha that's coach talk for sure. This guy has excited the Vikings football program that was dead in the water less than three weeks ago. Three straight 100 yards games and bunches of touchdowns get you noticed
14-Kareem Warren- dominating Westside lineman, whose numbers look great
15-Daniel Weaver- 6-152 in his last game makes me notice people, but I noticed him a long time ago.
16- Tres Hattaway- do all guy for MDS, 274 rushing, 399 receiving,  42 tackles, 2 INT, where would the Cavs be without this guy
17-Kasey Sanders-740 yards and 9 scores for Stratford and he is like the three or four threat
18- Will McCormick- FPD QB getting it done late in the year and I believe he is leading the Vikings into the playoffs
Honorable Mention
Sim Patrick
Aubrien Kemp
Jordan Slocum
Ahmad Barron
Josh Brooks
Tyler Jordan
Ladarian Womack
Now I am sure I am missing some quality defenders from Howard and other schools, and I am sorry I focus on offensive threats. Sorry lol
