high school football Macon rankings

Yes I have been rather lazy when it comes to getting a story up on here every week.
It's not that I don't want to
It's just nothing has really grabbed me yet
I have seen five high school football games so far this season and vey few things have made me want to write.
So what makes people read my blog ?
Well they want to hear about everything high school so today, I am giving them the very first Macon high school football rankings, and if I forgot a school please let me know.
12) Covenant- I have nothing against Covenant football and they are the smallest school on the list so its not uncommon that they would be picked last. The problem with a small school like Covenant is many of the better players go elsewhere, which is exactly what happened this year. They won a state title (albeit in the GICAA) and  their best player is at Georgetown, but they lost two or three other starters that they expected back this year to other schools in Macon. They have to depend on Leon Simmons for everything, but he has missed extended time with an ankle injury. When they get him back , expect the Rams to roll. Yes one player does make a difference.
11) Windsor - Windsor started off slow this year and got handled in the first game against a AAA team but has played well against schools in their league. I think Jimmy Watts will get this bunch into the playoffs for a least a second round game. He has one of the better skill players in Macon  with  Marquise Jackson and just has to continue to find ways to get him the football.
10)Northeast- I thought the Raiders would be better this year and I was very surprised that they lost to Rutland. I have not seen these guys play as of yet but it looks like the same old struggle for Bruce Mullen. The Raiders just cant get anything going earl yin the season.
9)Rutland-Mark Daniel knew coming in that things were not going to be easy and after Perry blew them out in the opener I was convinced that the Canes would go winless. But they beat Northeast and they are probably confident that they can take out Howard. If they do I will buy all readers a pizza. But congrats to Rutland and wingback Landon Miller, all 150 pounds of him, for finding a way to get a win.
8) Mount de Sales- I drank the Cavalier kool aid early and picked them to beat Central and Jesse Hicks let me know about it. It was not anything against Central I just thought Mount de Sales was way up this year. That remains to be seen. I must admit though I am worried about them after I saw Central just push them around the field.
MDS lost Adrian Hardwick, their best football player, early in the Central game, and right away it was obvious that without Hardwick in the game, they are once again only average. Hardwick is the speed guy on the football team and he is that important. I still believe De Sales is much improved and they will get back to winning this weekend.
7)Howard- The Huskies are struggling and they really don't have any answers right now. They had Central on the ropes but turned the ball over late and gave the game away. Avery Vining shows flashes of being a big play quarterback, but he may not have enough around him to make great things happen. They will however, get that first win of the season this weekend against Rutland.
6)Stratford- This is about the time I start making people mad. Why is Stratford ranked this low ?Well because it's early in the season and I just don't know much about them yet. I know they guys they lost and I see box scores and it looks like they are a very good defensive team but will have issues putting points on the board. Give Mark Farriba another three weeks and I am confident they will move up the list.
5) Central- Central is another team that lost the kitchen sink from graduation. Can Antonio Sander Jr. carry a football team for an entire year? That's a pretty tough thing to do, but that's what he has to do. I ranked three other public schools in Macon ahead of Central and I may be way off, but I think Southwest beats Central tonight. Still the Chargers will be in the mix when its time for the playoffs.
4)Westside- The Seminoles are having to work extra hard to get any offense going. The loss to Southwest was a huge eye opener and word is Westside is hurting at receiver after losing Dolphus and Mitchell from a year ago. Look for Savion Knowlton to start making plays and watch for Westside to find a way to score points.
3)Southwest- The Patriots got blown out a week after upsetting Westside but I feel like they lost to a pretty good football team. We really wont have any secrets after this weeks game against Central. This is a must win for them even though its the third game of the season. Its time for Jordan Slocum to start playing and put some point son the board, because if they score 20 a game, they will win most of the time.
2) Tattnall Square-ok ok maybe I am way off with Chance Jones being this good this early But I am simply crazy about this coaching staff and the experience they have with winning football games. I saw Tattnall play and they are explosive and that was without Miles Morris at quarterback. Ahmad Barron and Zion Blasingame are both explosive backs and they have a little sophomore who is just as good. (I will remember this name next time lol) But what makes Tattnall a threat is Jimmy Marshall a big tall speedy receiver who will give a lot of teams fits.
1)FPD- Let me explain how good FPD is this year. They are really really really good. They owned Howard in their opener and then they owned someone else a week ago and they will own Hawkinsville this week. Dalton Cox, a first year starter , is the best quarterback in Macon. Yes, I said it, he is BY FAR, the best quarterback in Macon. Bit he has explosive receivers that help and he als0 has running back that are good. Oh and did I mention that they have three linemen that weigh over 300 pounds. Greg Moore has been saying his prayers for a team like this and I think he is a top four team in class A
