I know ya' al are wondering because I haven't said anything about it for a week or so but the record right now stands at110-31 which is a less than stellar 78%, way short of my goal of 90%. Oh well I can say that I have been fairly consistent throughout the year and I have put my picks and my wining percentage out for everyone to see . Don't fault me for being average with my picks.
Here we go with week two of playoff football
Baldwin-Blessed Trinity
Jesse Hicks has done his usual great job with this football team and even though he is 5-6 this year he is back to the second round of the playoffs. But now he runs into a very very good Blessed Trinity football team, and they are a team that is getting healthy at the right time with a senior/ freshman combination in the backfield with over 2200 yards between them. I want to pick Baldwin but I just can't do it
Blessed Trinity 34 Baldwin 20
West Laurens- North Oconee
This is a dream season for West Laurens. They have a quarterback for over 2100 yards a receiver with 75 catches and a defense that does not give up a whole lot. North Oconee however has lost only once this year also and this should be a great football game.
I will pay the role of Homer this week
West Laurens 22 North Oconee 20
Perry- Oconee County
Oconee County is the team that beat North Oconee and they have only lost to Clarke Central so it will take a super human effort from Perry. The Panthers will give a super effort but they will not quite get it done this week
Oconee County 26 Perry 18
Hebron- Mount de Sales
For the first time this year Dexter Williams may not be the best quarterback on the field because Hebron has a kid that has 2000 yards passing this year and wide-outs who can go get it. The Cavaliers struggled at times stopping the pass game and I still worry about them in this game. Aquinas was a struggle, maybe a bit more of a struggle than many expected and Hebron is better than Aquinas in my opinion. I am hope Dexter and the gang can get a win but I haven't picked them lately so why start now.
Hebron 27 MDS 21
Bremen - Dublin
Dublin at home will get it going again. They are too good to slip up right now
Dublin 32 Bremen 13
Cedar Shoals- Jones County
It could be a very close game and then again maybe not. Cedar Shoals is going to try and slow the game down and that might work because they can run the football. I think Jones County gets it done at home for one more week
Jones County 27 Cedar Shoals 20
Veterans- Carrolton
A great run by Veterans ends right here against undefeated Carrolton
Carrolton 34 Veterans 13
HOCO- South Paulding
HOCO has a chance here they really do. Hell lets just pick the upset
HOCO 26 South Paulding 20
Madison County- Mary Persons
Madison County pulled the upset last week and Mary Persons had a semi-upset of their own with some heroics. The Dawgs get a unexpected home game and they will take advantage of it
Mary Persons 34 Madison County 24
Rome-WRHS
Rome has two running backs who have combined for 38 touchdowns. Hear me now, Warner Robins wont win this football game despite a great effort
Rome 34 WRHS 31
Calhoun- Peach County
Peach County cant win this football game or maybe they cant lose it. This is the one I wish I was seeing
Peach 20 Calhoun 17
Southland-John Milledge
I needed a win folks
JMA 43 Southland 7

nfl violence and yeah my picks
I am a simple man writing a simple blog talking about high school football and sometimes I find other things that I simply must put on paper.
I went to bed last night with a little over a minute left in the Steelers-Browns game because the score was 21-7 and I was not going to win any money in fan duel.
Little did I know I would wake up to chaos from that damn game last night.
I have seen the replay probably 10 times of Myles Garrett attacking Mason Rudolph with a helmet and it brings up a few questions to me.
First of all, Garrett should be and probably will be suspended for the rest of the year. You talk about a gutless move and this was it. You talk about a stupid move and that was it. You talk about a clear violent attempt to hurt another man and this was it.
Suspended for the rest of the year? How about suspended for two years with anger management counseling, drug testing, and community service of like a million hours.
Let me ask you. If I go into a bar and have a few drinks and I am watching a game with the other people at the bar and we get into an argument about the game and we start fighting what happens? Well chances are we would be escorted off the premises and that's about it. But what if I took my beer bottle and hit the other guy in the head with it?
I am fairly certain I am going to jail.
So why isn't Myles Garrett facing criminal charges.
A helmet weighs maybe ten pounds and they are made to stop concussions from happening and he hit another man in the head with it. I believe if it hit flush it could have killed Rudolph. I know they were in the middle of the game but a violent act is a violent act and I could care less if it was in the heat of the moment. There are a lot of men in jail for a heat of the moment crime.
So lock the man up. I could care less how much money he has. I could care less how talented he is. I could care less if he is a good guy off the field or not. He needs to be punished and punished in a way no player has ever been punished before. In my eyes it was basically a childish man acting childish and if I hit a man in the head I am going to jail. Send his butt to jail and make him learn a lesson.
Okay I am done with that rant now. We can talk about high school football and the playoffs. We will not talk about my overall record anymore because you can look it up if you want to . I was bad last week, really bad, but hey it's okay. The picks are made to get people talking and lord knows they do.
Let's talk about the games that could be close first.
WACO- Brooks County
What the hell WACO? You lose to Northeast to basically knock yourselves out of the playoffs but then you beat Dublin, who was undefeated to make the playoffs and break Northeast's hearts. Which team are you? Well it all counts now so I am thinking you are the good team.
WACO 24 Brooks County 21
Fitzgerald- Bleckley
What the hell Bleckley? You lose to Southwest in the last game of the season and because of that loss you have to open up with Fitzgerald ? I think I know which team shows up for them.
Fitzgerald 35 Bleckley 26
Westside- Appling
Westside has d1 kids all over the place but ended the regular season at 6-4. They won't live to see another day against Rick Tomberlin and Appling County.
Appling 27 Westside 20
Mary Persons- Eastside
MP squeezed into the playoffs and have a winnable game in the first round. I think they will keep it close but I don't think they will win.
Eastside 35 Mary Persons 28
Perry- Hampton
Perry has proven to me that they can get it done but Hampton is not a bad football team. I take the home team here in a game that could be really close
Perry 27 Hampton 17
Jones County- South Effingham
Jones County what the hell ? 44-14 last week ? Who are you ? South Effingham is a good football team with a win over West Laurens this year. Are you going to show up this week because I am sure the Stockbridge game has been watched . Are you a state title threat ? Nope, not any more
Jones County 34 South Effingham 27
Veterans- Riverdale
Veterans who the hell are you ? I thought you were ready to step into the limelight and play WRHS like you belonged. I guess we aren't quite ready for that.
Veterans 16 Riverdale 10
HOCO-Evans
HOCO is better than their record and Evans is not a great team . It could be the upset game but not quite.
Evans 24 HOCO 21
Blowouts
Wesleyan 42 FPD 14 - miracle win got FPD in but everyone knows miracles don't happen twice in a row.
Prince Avenue 31 Stratford 6- Nothing to be said. Stratford had a solid year with what they had
Dublin 99 Early County 0- Dublin will come in pissed and remain pissed.
Peach County 63 Brantley Co 0 - No need to say anything.
Pierce Co 37 Central 17- The Chargers had a great season and will be better next year. They aren't quite ready for this.
West Laurens 41 Luella 6
Never pick a team named Luella. West Laurens is going deep in the playoffs.
WRHS 49 Jonesboro 20
No questions here.

its getting interesting
MY RECORD SITS at 83-22 right now and I have had some pretty decent weeks lately.
My aim is to not lose another game this year.
I say that while rolling my eyes, knowing that it probably is not possible.
High school football is much harder than college football and I don't think I have any doubts about that .
I mean Northeast beating WACO would be like Georgia losing to South Carolina and we all know that does not happen too often,
It seems like I have many many games this week and I have not even counted them. Some have playoff implications, some have to win while others don't, and some are playing out the string.
I will try and list them by importance this week
HUGE GAME THAT has already been decided
WACO- Dublin
I saw WACO at the beginning of the season and they looked outstanding. But they have slipped coming down the stretch with a 6-3 record including a shocking loss to Northeast a week ago. If I am reading things correctly they are in a must win situation to make playoffs scenario. Even worse they play without a doubt the best team in the region this week. In my mind WACO has no chance to pull off the upset.
Dublin 36 WACO 16
HUGE GAME THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN DECIDED NUMBER 2
East Laurens- Northeast
Now Travion Solomon guaranteed me a win last Thursday but he didn't tell me that Deondre Duehart would run for 300 yards. My god what a performance in a must win situation. If I am looking at it right, the Raiders make the playoffs with a win over East Laurens, who have only won one game all season.
Welcome to the playoffs Raiders
Northeast 40 East Laurens 6
THE BEST GAMES OF THE WEEK
Aquinas - Mount de Sales
Aquinas is beat up right now or so I have heard and actually lost their last game to Warren County so I am really not sure what to think of that. Mount de Sales is a bit better than I thought however are they good enough to win a region title. I have questioned the overall toughness of this team for most of the year because lets face it, the schedule they play isn't going to knock anyone out. The teams they have played this year have a combined 21-60 record. Sure it is not their fault but they really havent faced a test all year. The only team they have played the entire year that has a winning record is 5-4 Tattnall Square. Aquinas meanwhile has played in a tougher region and the teams they have played have a 33-39 record. I did not count Hancock Central because they were forced to forfeit most of their games. Can De Sales beat a really good team and face the grind like Aquinas will give them ?
Dexter and Josiah wont be enough this week
Aquinas 23 MDS 20
WRHS- Veterans
I love both of these coaches and they are obviously winners and both could go deep in the playoffs. Veterans is a great defensive team who struggles to score at times. WRHSis a great offensive team . I just have a feeling this game means more to Veterans at this point in the season.
I may be crazy but
Veterans 20 WRHS 17
PERRY -WEST LAURENS
Yet another heavyweight battle, this one features West Laurens, winners of five straight games while losing only one game all season( and that loss was by one point) against Perry who started off 2-3 but have turned it around with four straight wins. I would venture to say that nobody had these two teams playing on the last week of the regular season with a region championship on the line. West Laurens has a quarterback in AJ Mathis that sits back in the pocket like Ken Stabler used to do and he picks people apart, with 1799 yards of passing and 18 touchdowns. They have a backfield of Christian Covin and Daniel Dorsey with over 1200 yards between them and a vastly improved defense. Perry however counters with Lane Rucker throwing the ball and Makeil Kendrick running the ball and a team that has just refused to quit this year. I am going to make it a home team advantage this time with West Laurens winning a region time for the first time in like, I don't know how long.
West Laurens 27 Perry 20
THE COULD BE THE BEST GAMES OF THE WEEK
FPD-WARREN COUNTY
FPD must win this game to have any chance to make the playoffs but lets remember that Warren County knocked off Aquinas a week ago. The Vikings will battle but they will fall just a bit short.
Warren County 31 FPD 20
Jones County- Stockbridge
I have picked the Hounds to lose once and that didn't work but I am not expecting Jones County to have an easy time with a very good Stockbridge team. However the Hounds will find a way on the road. They just have too much offense
Jones County 26 Stockbridge 18
Washington Wilkes- Stratford
I think Stratford has to find a way to win this game to make the playoffs and I just have no feel for this game. The Eagles have been very good some games and mediocre the others. I am thinking that they find a way to get a win here
Stratford 19 Washington Wilkes 16
Lincoln County -Tattnall Square
Another game where if a team loses the season is over and that team is Tattnall. The Trojans are in contention because they found a way to beat FPD a week ago and creeped into that number 24 spot in the power rankings. 24 teams make the playoffs so if they lose the season is over. These two teams played each other earlier in the year and Lincoln County manhandled Tattnall but head coach Chance Jones missed that game and I think that really affected the offense. Lincoln is huge and will do nothing but run the ball straight at Tattnall and make it look like a pee wee football game with the direct snap to the guy who is going to keep the football . Tattnall Square is highly motivated and the seniors turned it up two notches last week . Can they do it again ?
Not quite
Lincoln County 20 Tattnall 14
Mary Persons- Howard
These guys are playing for the third and fourth spots in the region and important state playoff pairings. I will never ever pick against Brian Nelson in a game like this
Mary Persons 30 Howard 24
HOCO- Northside
NO clue but I will stick to my plan that has seemed to work
HOCO 23 Northside 16
THE BLOWOUTS
Peach County- Westside
Should not be a blowout but I see a blowout. I think Peach is that good
Peach 36 Westside 14
Rutland -Jackson
Rutland is much improved but Jackson is hot and playoff bounds
Jackson 43 Rutland 6
Bleckley County- Southwest
I long to pick Joe Dupree to win this but not this year
Bleckley 37 Southwest 14
That's it for this week . Good luck to everyone
My aim is to not lose another game this year.
I say that while rolling my eyes, knowing that it probably is not possible.

That's it for this week . Good luck to everyone
Friday, November 1, 2019
another week of high school
Well
I may as well give up with the 90% mark for this year. It may be more like 76 or 77 which is a huge disappointment to me. We have too many unsteady football teams going on this year but hey , it is what it is. At least I am trying and will continue to try for the rest of the year.
One thing that I have found out is that teams making playoffs in this area are going to be few and far between. Teams that are going anywhere once they make the playoffs are even fewer and way way far away.
Jones County ? Maybe ?
Mount de Sales Maybe ?
West Laurens ? maybe
Warner Robins a step better than maybe ?
Peach County a step better than WRHS
anyone else is a long shot to make it past the first round .
Mary Persons vs Perry
Perry has come from nowhere to be in a tie for the lead in the region and a win over Mary Persons will put them in a position for playing West Laurens for a region championship. Coach Kevin Smith has done a marvelous job but across the field will be Brian Nelson , who has won a lot of games at Mary Persons and is coming over a terrible 52-7 loss to West Laurens. Don't even think that Mary Persons will not come out a play a great game because they are still making the playoffs. Mary Persons is not a dead fish team. I should make this an upset special of the week
SORRY CANT DO IT
Perry 34 Mary Persons 26
Ola vs Jones
Pretty much a region championship game, you know that first thing a program like Jones County plays for. While I believe most of the hype about them, I don't feel like they are a true powerhouse yet. With that being said they haven't lost yet and have four skill players that are putting up huge numbers and nobody else around here has that. Other teams may have two but Carner, Wooten, Robertson and Costlow cant be matched right now.
Jones County 34 Ola 27
Veterans vs Thomas County Central
wow what a good football game this should be. Veterans will have to go on the road and try and get a win against a very good , 6-2 football team. Milan Turner has his guys believing. A big road win for the Warhawks
Veterans 20 TCC 14
Jackson vs Peach
Jackson is 6-2 with some very good wins but none of them was against a team as good as Peach. Peach is one of a few locals that I feel can make a championship game and as much as I like what Jackson has done, they cant and wont win this one
Peach 35 Jackson 20
Southwest vs East Laurens
Joe Dupree and the gang get a much needed win
Southwest 36 East Laurens 14
Twiggs Co vs Stratford
Stratford ends the regular season with a win
Stratford 40 Twiggs 6
Spalding vs Howard
Howard has fell off the wagon and cant find a win lately but Spalding is 1-7
Howard 26 Spalding 6
Northeast vs WACO
Northeast has a very good young quarterback in Travion Solomon but I just don't think they will get it done on the road against WACO. They will keep it close though
WACO 30 Northeast 21
Lee County vs HOCO
I mean its Lee County who has been Lee County all year except when they met Peach County
Lee County 37 HOCO 16
FPD-Tattnall
Wow it is hard to believe that this football season is almost over and unless Tattnall pulls off a small miracle they are not going to make the playoffs. They absolutely must win two games that they would probably be not favored to win either one of them. FPD has turned the corner for the year and has a greater chance to make the playoffs and they can run and pass. Tattnall has struggled but at times they have played good football. They will HAVE to win the turnover battle in this one to win the game
FPD 28 Tattnall 24
Upson Lee vs West Laurens
I am really not sure that after years of never winning a big game, West Laurens has become the best team in their region. Upson Lee is fighting but wont have enough this week
West Laurens 41 Upson 17
Pike County vs Westside
The Seminoles always finish strong and they will make the playoffs yet again and get a much needed win this week
Westside 33 Pike 21
Valdosta vs Northside
This one hands the Eagles a sixth loss for the year. NO miracles coming from this side of town this year
Valdosta 36 Northside 13
Enjoy the football and enjoy the cold football climate and oh yeah
GO DAWGSSSS
I may as well give up with the 90% mark for this year. It may be more like 76 or 77 which is a huge disappointment to me. We have too many unsteady football teams going on this year but hey , it is what it is. At least I am trying and will continue to try for the rest of the year.

Pretty much a region championship game, you know that first thing a program like Jones County plays for. While I believe most of the hype about them, I don't feel like they are a true powerhouse yet. With that being said they haven't lost yet and have four skill players that are putting up huge numbers and nobody else around here has that. Other teams may have two but Carner, Wooten, Robertson and Costlow cant be matched right now.

Veterans vs Thomas County Central
wow what a good football game this should be. Veterans will have to go on the road and try and get a win against a very good , 6-2 football team. Milan Turner has his guys believing. A big road win for the Warhawks
Veterans 20 TCC 14
Jackson vs Peach
Jackson is 6-2 with some very good wins but none of them was against a team as good as Peach. Peach is one of a few locals that I feel can make a championship game and as much as I like what Jackson has done, they cant and wont win this one
Peach 35 Jackson 20
Southwest vs East Laurens
Joe Dupree and the gang get a much needed win
Southwest 36 East Laurens 14
Twiggs Co vs Stratford
Stratford ends the regular season with a win
Stratford 40 Twiggs 6
Spalding vs Howard
Howard has fell off the wagon and cant find a win lately but Spalding is 1-7
Howard 26 Spalding 6
Northeast vs WACO
Northeast has a very good young quarterback in Travion Solomon but I just don't think they will get it done on the road against WACO. They will keep it close though
WACO 30 Northeast 21
Lee County vs HOCO
I mean its Lee County who has been Lee County all year except when they met Peach County
Lee County 37 HOCO 16
FPD-Tattnall
Wow it is hard to believe that this football season is almost over and unless Tattnall pulls off a small miracle they are not going to make the playoffs. They absolutely must win two games that they would probably be not favored to win either one of them. FPD has turned the corner for the year and has a greater chance to make the playoffs and they can run and pass. Tattnall has struggled but at times they have played good football. They will HAVE to win the turnover battle in this one to win the game
FPD 28 Tattnall 24
Upson Lee vs West Laurens
I am really not sure that after years of never winning a big game, West Laurens has become the best team in their region. Upson Lee is fighting but wont have enough this week
West Laurens 41 Upson 17
Pike County vs Westside
The Seminoles always finish strong and they will make the playoffs yet again and get a much needed win this week
Westside 33 Pike 21
Valdosta vs Northside
This one hands the Eagles a sixth loss for the year. NO miracles coming from this side of town this year
Valdosta 36 Northside 13
Enjoy the football and enjoy the cold football climate and oh yeah
