Battle of Macon begins (football)

Welcome to the only Battle of Macon that we will ever see which involves all 12 high school football teams in the city. It would be great if this would ever really happen , but everyone knows it probably wont. So we have to settle for someone writing it like it really happened. Ha and that would be me.


I seeded all 12 teams. The first four teams get a bye in the first round, and I am sure someone will think that the four I picked probably don't deserve it or someone wont agree with the order of the four. I will say this to those people. I DONT CARE !! I did it from my view and my view only. However, with that being said, I think it is fairly accurate.
Top four seeds which get a first round bye.


1.Westside
2.Central
3.Stratford
4.Howard


Is anyone disagreeing yet ?
Good, I didn't think so,
So lets play the first round games. Remember, this is how it would play out in my brain. Feel free to comment.


#8 Covenant vs #9 Mount de Sales- Covenant as we all know, comes into this game undefeated and basically unchallenged for the entire year on their way to a GICAA State Championship. Mount de Sales improved this year, but could not quite get over the hump. I have not seen either team play, but I have heard plenty about both teams, and I know that Covenant would be bouncing off the walls to play this game. Meanwhile I am not sure how motivated the Cavs would be .Can they stop Khristian Tate and Simmons on the ground ? I really don't think they could. At least that is what I am told. For this reason, I am going to take the Rams in a close 31-27 game.


#7 Northeast vs #10 Tattnall _ Northeast is so so young this year and they got better every single game. Meanwhile Tattnall struggled and ended up having their worst year in forever. But they started to show signs late in the year of getting better, by changing the offense to a pass first option. I admit again that I have not seen either one of these teams play this year, but I am going to think that Tattnall edges Northeast 14-9.


#6 Southwest vs #11 Rutland - I think they played this year and I don't think it was fun for the Hurricanes. It wont be fun this time with Southwest going Slocum to Slocum all night long for a 38-14 win


#5 FPD vs #12 Windsor- I actually think Windsor could keep this game close for maybe a half, but FPD started to figure things out late in the year. FPD takes over in the second half to coast to a 41-20 win.


So our second round matchups
Westside vs Covenant
Central vs FPD
Stratford vs Southwest
Howard vs Tattnall
I wonder if it is a coincidence that Tattnall and Howard hook up in the second round. Barney Hester going against his old school. Did I plan that ?? HHaaaa maybe so. And Covenant gets Westside. The Rams want to play big boy football and I guess they got it. The oter two games are classic matchups that I would pay(ok maybe not) to see. Mark Farriba vs Joe Dupree ?? Woww
Lets play some make believe football
