We are getting down to it with some teams already being done with football season and others heading into the playoffs. I am thinking it should be a pretty good weekend for local teams this week and then next week it get much tougher.
So my expertise brings me to a 66-13 record, which is fairly remarkable. I will hope to continue this brilliance for at least another week.
The worst thing about this week and basically the rest of the year is I have no place to work games. The GHSA in its own audacity, charges like 900 bucks to live stream a playoff football game so that knocks me out of doing anything. I guess it is still the one thing I miss about writing for the news paper.
Howard- Burke//// Burke County is a 7-3 football team and Baldwin County beat them up pretty good. Howard is a bit up and down and it really depends which team shows up. If it is the team that beat Westside and took Jones County to the wire I expect them to win. If its the team that lost to Jackson and Upson Lee it will not be a good night.
I am betting on Jeremiah Kelly to get the Huskies going and for DeAndre Shelton to lead them to their first playoff win ever.
Howard 27 Burke 20
Cook- Westside///// Westside takes care of a 3-7 team behind the best running back in the city, Tyshaun Freeman
Westside 30 Cook 14
Veterans- Stockbridge
Veterans has had a remarkable year but they are 2-2 over the last four games and were shutout by WRHS, which is worrisome considering the Demons aren't known for their defense. The Warhawks had a great year but it ends Friday night against a 9-1 Stockbridge team.
Stockbridge 27 Veterans 6
Northeast-Swainsboro///Swainsboro is on a 6 game winning streak and as much as I want Northeast to win this game I don't think they can. The Raiders battle but cant quite get it done
Swainsboro 33 Northeast 18
Northside-Tucker// Might be a difficult game and then again it might not. Tucker is 7-3 and Northside has under achieved at 5-5 . I think the Eagles are pretty much going to peak right now.
Northside 27 Tucker 22
Upson Lee- Thompson , easy queezy win for a very good football team
Upson Lee 34 Thompson 9
Stratford-Aquinas/// Stratford pulled the upset last week over Auinas and look what happens to them. The schedule comes out and the Eagles get Aquinas again. I am sure Aquinas has been studying all week on how to stop Christian Palmer, who absolutely torched them a week ago. On the other hand Mark Fariba knows that too so Stratford will try and figure out how to get Palmer loose. I love Palmer but I just cannot make myself pick the Eagles to win this game.
Aquinas 24 Stratford 20
Ringold- Peach////Blowout city for the Trojans
Peach 38 Ringold 14
Perry- Baldwin//// I love this game and I would love to see it. Baldwin is 5-5 with 5 straight wins after a brutal schedule basically made them be 0-5. They gave up 192 points in those 5 games. Since then they have given up 34 points in the last 5 games.
Perry makes the playoffs and they can be explosive. Both teams lost to Veterans in close games one by 7 and one by 8.
Lane Rucker and Davion Ross get it done in a great game.
Perry 24 Baldwin 23
Here are the rest of them
MDS 27 Holy Innocence 13
Wesleyan 34 Tattnall 14
WRHS 43 Locust Grove 17
Jones County 35 Bainbridge 17
