Pics of the week

I know everyone has been waiting all week for me to finalize my picks for the week.
It has been a very good week numbers wise for a small town bloggers like me, with upwards of 600 hits this week, as I head towards the magic 20,000 number.
These picks this week were somewhat agonizing, because as I looked at them, I realized many great high school football players will play their last football game.


Northside however will not be one of them. I used the word cupcake at least once last week and I believe the Eagles get the cupcake award this weekend with an easy win over Langston Hughes.


Jones County however was not so lucky. They get Buford, who is always good and this year is no exception , as they are 10- on the year. The only loss was to Roswell who is undefeated. If any coach in this area can go on the road and get a win, it is Justin Rogers, but I don't think it will happen. Hunnicutt to Singleton happens for the last time Friday night. But what a run those seniors had, basically turning Jones County into a football power.


I fought myself over the Mary Persons -Heritage game also. Heritage has lost three games this year, but they put up tons of points. Brian Nelson wins football games every year, and has some great players on both sides of the football. But my gut says that the Bulldogs will give up too many points to a passing offense to win. I believe Zach Harvey and Malik Herring  have their season end Friday night as Heritage edges them in a close game.


None of that for Peach County however. I believe they get an impressive win


FPD has been under achieving all year and end up with the football team nobody wants to play in Eagles Landing. It wont be pretty as Eagles Landing knocks the Vikings out of post season play


I am also fairly confident with my picks of Jefferson beating West Laurens and Pepperell taking out Dodge County, while WACO wins a close game over Chatooga.


John Milledge and JT Wall win a close one over Gatewood for the GISA state championship.


I guess I have to make a pick on Tattnall and Stratford. I have leaned towards both teams over the last week, but I believe I knew on Monday who I would pick. I was working in a story and talking to a coach who had played both teams and I asked him who would win, and he did not think twice about it.He gave me reasons why they would win and I guess I bought in. I am sure I will be getting pictures of the scoreboard if I miss this pick , but after much consideration, I will go with a Sean Brown led defense and a Ahmad Barron, Jimmy Marshall led offense to win a very very close game over Stratford.
Lets go with Tattnall  20 Stratford 17
