this weeks winners

I am in a battle with several others in the Telegraphs high school pick-ems and I have a chance to at least pick up a few games on the leader, Brad Harrison. However , I could also lose a few games to him, Here is hoping for the best and here is what I see this weekend.
Northside- HOCO
Brad and Ryan Jordan go with HOCO in this game and I will admit, that thought never ever entered my mind. Although I grew up hating everything Eagle ish (except for my wife) I never even thought about picking against them in this game. Northside is a complete team and I think they may go all the way , while HOCO is just good enough to miss the playoffs this year. They have not been able to stop anyone, but  Jake Fromm will find a way to keep this game close
Northside 35 HOCO 30


Jones County - Stockbridge
Stockbridge is undefeated, Jones County is good but not great. I mean someone explain to me how they lost to Woodland 38-9 and only beat Ola 24-21. Stockbridge by the way, beat Woodland 26-10 and Ola 37-0. Justin Rogers would have to pull a rabbit our of his hat to get a win here and he usually saves those for the playoffs.
Stockbridge  34  Jones County 20


Central - Westside
All the leaders picked Westside and that is the correct pick. I don't think the Chargers have a chance to win this game. I mean I would be shocked if it was not a two touchdown win for Westside. But I have been wrong before once or twice. Westside and Savion Knowlton get it done in a must win game.
Westside 26 Central 13


Tattnall - Stratford
I wrote a lot on this game, and I will say its a big game for me because most folks picked Tattnall. Even with Zion Blasingame set to play, I still think its a terrible matchup for Tattnall going against a powerful front of Stratford. I will stick to my pick
Stratford 22 Tattnall 20


West Laurens - Upson Lee
I always lose West Laurens when I pick West Laurens so I am not sure why I am picking them to win on the road. I have seen both teams this year and Upson was impressive over Perry, but it was Perry. I saw WL stink it up against Warner Robins, so every thing says go Upson.
I cant do it
West Laurens 13 Upson Lee 10


FPD- MDS
FPD showed signs of getting healthy last week and I think that continues this week. Run the foortball Greg Moore and good things will happen. Its funny how the run sets up the pass isn't it.
FPD 41 MDS 10


Twiggs- Wilkinson
Twiggs has some anger issues and I know they have taken some beatings at Wilkinson in the past. Twiggs is for real and will roll in this game.
Twiggs 36 Wilkinson 13


Bleckley Co-Dodge
One team playing good, one team playing bad, one team needing a win worse than the other
Dodge 31 Bleckley 14
Perry -Mary Persons
Perry is better but still not in the class of a Mary Persons
Gotta take the Dawgs here
Mary Persons 30 Perry 10


Peach County- Pike County
Chad Campbell does not lose these games and his team will not look ahead to Jackson next week
Peach 34 Pike 22


Coach of the week from last week
Spoon Risper- The Seminoles went on the road and beat a good Pike County team. Everyone game up on Westside but they have won two straight and played Jackson tough , so they are primed to get a 3 seed with a win over Central. Spoon has got the job down with an inexperienced team and they are peaking at the right time.


Player of the week
Ahmad Barron_ ok so it was not his best game. He mishandled a punt in the first quarter that gave FPD three points. He dropped a touchdown pass in the end zone. But when it was time to shine he did. He carried the ball almost every play in the fourth quarter and that is when he dominated. The guy is 5'7 and about 175 pounds but he is HANDS DOWN, the best back in Macon this year. If you have never seen him play, watch Darren Sproles play on Sunday and you have Ahmad Barron. The colleges are starting to notice him too. He will need a huge game Friday night against Stratford to get a win.
