my sweet 7 and what i think happens this week

I know that most of you are here to see who my top team in Macon is for this week but first I thought I would talk about the games of the week for this week. I went 9-1 overall last week and I am looking to add on to that good fortune.


HERE are the games to be picked for the Telegraph.
Macon County vs Northside- It really is kind of a neat game because Dexter Copeland played at Northside and is coming in with a high scoring Macon County team. However it is Northside that they are playing and it will be a rout.  Northside 55 Macon County 28


Spalding vs Mary Persons- All I need to know about Spalding is that they almost beat HOCO last week.  Spalding 26 Mary Persons 20


Pike County vs Central- Pike is 3-1 and will be the best team that Central has played so far. I have picked Central to lose three times this year and they are 5-0 so I have not quite figured them out yet. Jesse Hicks is getting these guys to fight every game, but I don't think it will be enough this week
Pike 23 Central 20


Taylor County-Crawford County- I would love to be at this game. Greg Street had his kids believing that they can play with anyone and although they are much improved, I don't even think a huge home crowd can win this one for him.
Taylor County 36 Crawford 20

FPD- Twiggs - I would also love to be at this game. Ashley Harden will have the advantage of being at home for Twiggs homecoming and he wants to make a statement against FPD. I mean the entire population will be at this game and I bet Greg Moore is a little bit nervous this week. But I cant go with the upset.
FPD 31 Twiggs 23


West Laurens- Howard- First one to 17 wins. WL 21 Howard 7
Northeast -Dodge- Bruce Mullen turning the Raiders around again. NE 23 Dodge 21
Mount de Sales- Stratford- MDS is one of the most disappointing teams I have seen so far this year. I thought they would turn things around but so far, they have not shown the ability to be physical . Tobe Umerah and the Stratford D dominate this game.
Stratford 30 MDS 14
Wilkinson Co- Tattnall Square- Barron, Mack, Davis, Marshall, Blasingame, Sanders- maybe my favorite team in Macon right now.
TSA 41 Wilkinson 6


Now for my top 7
7-Northeast- moves ahead of several schools with a win last week. I think they will make it two in a row this week
6-Southwest- broke a three game losing streak last week with a win and Jordan Slocum had a big game. Look for that to continue s the Patriots fight to get into the elusive playoffs
5-Westside- They are still fighting but have to score some points.
4-Tattnall- Ok Ok I just got through saying they were maybe my favorite team so far this year. But I took a long look at my big four and I found that Tattnall has beaten four teams with a combined record of 3-16. I know they can only play who is on the schedule, but 3-16 is pretty bad. Plus it looks like another cupcake this week with 0-4 Wilkinson County. So despite having all of those weapons and a defense that has only given up 6 points,  this is the best I can do for them. Keep winning boys
3-Central- I don't know how they are winning. I mean they have very good athletes, but this win streak is due to Jesse Hicks. Give the man a raise. The teams he has played only have a 6-17 overall record, and I think the winning will end this weekend. But I would not bet on it
2-Stratford- Overall record of opponents so far is 12-5-1, which earns them the number 2 ranking. I really do not know much about the Eagles, but I know they have Umerah, who is being recruited by everyone, and I know they have a great coaching staff. I also know MDS will not be a problem for them this week
1-FPD- Yes they hold on to number one because Dalton Cox is by far the best QB in Macon, and Titus Moore and Maurice Gordon give him two big play receivers. But I am not sold on them yet and not sure even how they will do against Twiggs. But for now, they hold on to number1
