YES
That is it, I will just answer the questions that everyone wants to know the answers to about sports in this area.
I focus on high school but I can pretty much handle anything going on in the Middle Georgia area.
LETS START WITH AN EASY ONE
What Houston County teams will win this week.
Well that's easy for sure. Northside wins easily over Grovetown, but I am afraid that Warner Robins and Veterans both lose close games this week. But what do I know, I cant even win the pick-ems contest in the newspaper.
A report on Jones County: Ok my report says they have the coolest nickname in the area and maybe in the stats behind the Syrupmakers of Cairo. I would love to know where the Greyhounds nickname came from and I am sure its a great story. I worked in Jones County for 9 years and I don't recall seeing Greyhounds line the street running wildly through town. Then again I don't see Eagles flying through Warner Robins. Maybe some Demons, but no Eagles. Anyways, Justin Rogers is one of the better coaches in the area and he has a qb (Hunnicutt) and a wr(Singleton) that are not quite ready to play a last game. So I like the Hounds to catch the rabbit and easily beat Wayne County.
How will the Macon public schools do this week ?
We only have two left and I think both of them have a great chance to advance. It is my belief that Westside, despite being a three seed has a better chance of winning than Southwest. Westside takes on Pierce County, who plays no defense, while Southwest has a home game against Brooks County, who is in the playoffs every year. I picked both of them to win.
Private school projections?
Well FPD would be done if the GHSA didn't stretch the class A teams to 24 this years instead of 16. I mean why not just put everyone in the playoffs. So we have teams still playing that should be watching.
FPD was a serious bubble team and I think they ended at 17, but they are playing Aquinas, who is not very good. I saw Aquinas barely beat Mount de Sales early in the year and they were not impressive. So yeah FPD will win a playoff game and everyone will be excited about it, and then, instead of a first round loss, they get beat in the second round to Eagles Landing. Then again, Aquinas is at home and they are thinking they can win this week. Ok whoever wins this game gets thrashed the next weekend.
Stratford would have made the playoffs anyways and they get a cupcake first round against Holy Innocents, and I expect that by the third quarter the clock will not be stopping. I still think Stratford is a pretty good football team, and I cant wait to fill you up on the upcoming round two game that features Tattnall and Stratford next weekend. Guess who I will pick to win that one ??
Will UGA upset Auburn this weekend -NO next question
Congrats to my twitter poll winners last week
Ahmad Barrons gets 48% of the vote for the best high school football player in Macon, beating Tobe Umerah who got 38% of the vote. If this was a political race we would have had to have a runoff
The best quarterback in Macon went to Dalton Cox, who received 57% of the vote, followed by Jordan Slocum with 27% of the vote.
Barron easily won the best running back in Macon , taking 81% of the vote.
All of these twitter polls had right at 500 votes so that makes it somewhat legit right :)
Follow me at Stratford tomorrow night and everyone have a great week
