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
