another high school week

I am trying to get on a roll with picking high school games and I think I have somewhat of a feel for Macon teams but I am missing badly with the others. I need some good weeks and hopefully this will be the week.

HOCO- Coffee County
I picked Coffee County to win this game and I am hedging a bit right now but I will stick with my original pick, although it would not surprise me if  Jake Fromm finds a way to get a win. HOCO has not been able to run the ball and Lee County was all over him the entire game. I expect more of the same and I will  go with the home team
Coffee 36 HOCO 28

Northside vs Lee County
Talk about a huge game with two great teams. Northside is at home coming off a loss, and Lee County beat HOCO. Can Lee County beat the big two ? I think so
Lee County 23 Northside 20

Stratford vs FPD
Both teams could not handle Twiggs, and FPD struggled against winless Wilkinson before opening things up late. Stratford wants to run while FPD wants to throw. Its really a tossup of who can put points on the board and I think 20 wins it. Can FPD win without running the football ? I don't think so.
Stratford 21 FPD 20

Tattnall vs Twiggs
My goodness is does not get easier with this one. I have been on the Tattnall band wagon all year but Twiggs is a different beast. Twiggs is battle tested and Tattnall is not but I believe Tattnall is a little quicker than Stratford or FPD. Can the defense stop those Twiggs running backs ? Maybe not. But I believe that Tattnall has a little more balance than FPD or Stratford.
Tattnall 23 Twiggs  21

WACO vs Dodge County
I think this one might be a bit easier to pick. WACO has won four in a row and Dodge County shocked Dublin a week ago. I think WACO on the road is risky, however I will take
WACO 30 Dodge 22

Upson Lee vs Perry
I am so happy that Perry is finding some success in Carl Dixons second year, but Upson Lee is a pretty good football team
Upson 24 Perry 14

Jones County vs Union Grove
Maybe this will be a win for me. Hunnicutt is healthy and dealing and Union Grove has struggled.
Jones 37 Union Grove 14

Jackson vs Central
This is a game that Central needs badly but Jackson beat Westside a few weeks ago and that is a quality win. Central struggles again
Jackson 28 Central 16

Mount de Sales- Wilkinson
Wilkinson is winless but MDS is struggling. Wilkinson battled FPD a week ago while MDS struggled. Wilkinson finds a win
Wilkinson 24 MDS 20
Thomas County Central vs Veterans
I have not hit with Veterans all year and they got beat up a week ago.
TCC 27 Veterans 14

I just realized I could have a 2 win week if things dont go right,

for my rankings I decided to add Jones County, Crawford County and Mary Persons and Peach County. I still don't want to fool with the Houston County teams so lets see how it goes with a top ten but not Houston County teams
10}Crawford County
They are sitting at 3-2 and need a win badly against Dooly County this week. I had to make them a top 10 this week because of the respect I have for what Greg Street had done with this football team. They are only a few years form losing 40 straight games and the eagles have 3 wins this year. That in itself deserves a top 10 ranking.
9}Central
The Chargers have to find a way to stop the bleeding but has a record of 5-2. Jesse Hicks is working hard to get some wins and make it to state but someone else besides Antonio Sanders has to step up for the offense
8}Southwest
The Patriots are 3-3 and have two straight wins over decent football teams. They play Thursday against Dublin. If they win they are in the thick of the region race. If not they are fighting for a playoff berth. Jordan Slocum and Qua Solomon are coming on
7}FPD- I love Dalton Cox, who is putting up numbers. But they have to have success running the football to win big games. Obviously they would be higher, but I added some very good football teams to the poll.
6}Stratford
The Eagles need a big win on Friday. They are winning with defense, which is good but have to put points on the board if they are to make a playoff run
5}Twiggs
I have heard from many coaches that Twiggs and JaMon Height are the real deal and they proved they can throw the ball a little bit against Stratford. Ashley Harden might be the hottest coach in the area,
4}Tattnall Square
The Trojans finally get tested but watch out for a sophomore quarterback Miles Morris to handle it. Jimmy Marhsall might break out in the passing game and I just don't think Twiggs will shut down Barron, Davis, Sanders and Mack. Look for the defense to play big against Twiggs
3]Mary Persons
a 5-2 record against a very tough schedule and a Zack Harvey led offense makes the Bulldogs a dangerous team. Oh and lets not forget Malik Herring
2}Peach County
Chad Campbell wins, its just what he does. They are 5-1 so far and go ahead and make that 6-1 with a date with Rutland coming next
1} Jones County
Jutsin Rogers wins football games. Bradley Hunnicutt wins football games. Nick Singleton wins football games. They are a dangerous team right now

Player of the week
JaMon Height
Best running back in the area led his team to a huge win over Stratford
Coach of the week
Carl Dixon- The Perry head coach man handled Howard a week ago and he has the Panthers thinking playoffs. A win over Upson Lee puts them in a great position
