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
