Well, to interject here uninvited... Harrison stomped a mudhole in Dacula who obliterated the rest ... daisy chain that sumbitch over Valdosta who beat the Packers by one...

The 38-7 win over Dacula last week was really impressive. But they dont have enough wins over good teams to say whether it was a fluke or not. They are 14-0 so I dont think the win was a fluke, but idk about the ass beating they put on them..... Harrisons only other good win is against Allatoona 21-17, the team theyll play tomorrow for the 6A State Championship. I really dont know enough about Harrison to say... They came out of nowhere. They slaughtered decent teams in Houston, Dalton, & Brunswick... But Im not sure how to compare that to Eastside Catholic. Ill know better after I see them tomorrow. Really if theres going to be a postseason game I just want it to be the 7A team... Be it Marietta or Lowndes. Id feel more confident with Lowndes going.... I would want our 7A champ to play someone better than Eastside Catholic though. Lowndes would slaughter them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLien12x Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 Class AAAAAAA Marietta vs. Lowndes When, where: 8 p.m. Saturday, Georgia State Stadium, Atlanta Records, rankings: Marietta is 12-2, the No. 2 seed from Region 3-AAAAAAA and No. 6; Lowndes is 14-0, the No. 1 seed from 1- AAAAAAA and No. 1. Last meeting: Marietta won 30-27 in the first round of the 2012 Class AAAAAA playoffs. Things to know: Marietta was the preseason No. 1 team and made the top 10 of several national polls. Lowndes is the current No. 1 and now ranked high nationally, peaking at No. 3 by PrepNation. Marietta has six of Georgia's top 100 senior prospects but no state title appearances since its 1967 Class AAA championship. Lowndes has no top-100 players but five state titles since 1980, the most of any current Class AAAAAAA school. Add the north-south thing - Marietta is metro Atlanta's oldest football program, Lowndes the flag bearer for storied Region 1 - and this game is full of intrigue. Marietta has won seven straight games, four against top-10 teams, since losing to McEachern in October. Only one team this century, Peachtree Ridge in 2006, has won a state title in the highest class after losing a game that late. The Blue Devils' list of blue chips include QB Harrison Bailey (4,000 yards passing, committed to Tennessee), WR Arik Gilbert (1,614 yards receiving, LSU), WR Ricky White (1,246 receiving, Michigan State), RB Kimani Vidal (1,511 rushing, Troy), DE B.J. Ojulari (LSU) and DB Rashad Torrence (Florida). Lowndes' offense is built around sophomore QB Jacurri Brown, who has rushed for 1,508 yards and passed for 1,253 yards. Lowndes allowed more than 21 points for the first time last week in a 49-28 victory over North Gwinnett. Marietta has allowed 21 or more six times. Marietta and Lowndes have four common opponents. Lowndes beat Grayson 28-20 in the quarterfinals. Grayson beat Marietta 28-14 on Sept. 13. They're both 3-0 against the others.

ATLien12x Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 Class AAAAAA Allatoona vs. Harrison When, where: 8 p.m. Friday, Georgia State Stadium, Atlanta Records, rankings: Allatoona is 11-2-1, the No. 2 seed from Region 6-AAAAAA and No. 7; Harrison is 14-0, the No. 1 seed from 6-AAAAAA and No. 2. Last meeting: Harrison won 21-17 on Oct. 11. Things to know: The winner of this game between Region 6-AAAAAA rivals will become the fourth team from Cobb County to win a state title, joining 1967 Marietta, 2014 Mount Paran Christian and 2015 Allatoona. Harrison beat the Buccaneers in the regular season in a game that ultimately decided the region title. Marcus Bleazard scored the game-winning points in the fourth quarter on a 4-yard run after Allatoona lost a fumble deep in its territory. Bleazard is the leading tackler for a Harrison defense that allows just 10.71 points per game, second-best in Class AAAAAA. Both teams get about 60 percent of their offense from the running game. David Roberts has run for 1,524 yards and 19 touchdowns on 167 carries. Mason Babay has 608 yards rushing and 626 receiving, and Jay Ziglor has 673 yards rushing and 288 receiving. Alex Wilson gets the bulk of the work for Allatoona, rushing for 1,273 yards and eight touchdowns on 251 carries. The quarterbacks have similar numbers. Allatoona's Dante Marshall is 76-of-169 for 1,772 yards and 23 touchdowns, while Harrison's Gavin Hall is 95-of-165 for 1,857 yards and 20 TDs. And both teams have an explosive threat at receiver. Allatoona's Asante Das has 1,084 yards and 15 TDs on 36 catches (30.1 yards per reception), and Harrison's Marques Owens has 727 yards and nine TDs on 24 catches (30.3 yards per reception). Harrison will be moving up to the highest classification next year, into Region 3 along with Class AAAAAAA finalist Marietta.

ATLien12x Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 Class AAAAA Buford vs. Warner Robins When, where: 4:30 p.m. Friday, Georgia State Stadium, Atlanta Records, rankings: Buford is 13-1, the No. 2 seed from Region 8-AAAAA and No. 5; Warner Robins is 13-1, the No. 1 seed from 1-AAAAA and No. 2. Last meeting: This is the teams' first meeting. Things to know: Two first-time head coaches promoted from defensive coordinator are guiding these blue-blood programs. Bryant Appling, an assistant for 15 years on Buford's staff, has the Wolves in their 16th final this century. They've won 10 of them. Marquis Westbrook has been on Warner Robins' staff four seasons, and this is the Demons' third consecutive final. Warner Robins is seeking its first title 2004, fifth overall. The '04 Warner Robins team also had a first-time head coach, Bryan Way. Both teams like to control the ball with the run game. Warner Robins' Jahlen Rutherford (1,290 yards rushing) and James Smith (934) each have two 100-yard rushing games in the playoffs. Jalen Addie (2,297 yards passing, 571 rushing) is a dual-threat quarterback. Gabe Ervin (1,155) is Buford's leading rusher, though Victor Venn (709) has run for 255 and 107 yards the past two weeks. Jarvis Evans (73-for-122 passing for 1,376 yards) is accurate but stays in the pocket. Buford's only loss came against Clarke Central 31-28. It cost Buford the Region 8 title. Warner Robins beat Clarke 49-14 in the quarterfinals. Maxwell Ratings' projection: Buford by 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLien12x Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 Class AAAA Blessed Trinity vs. Oconee County When, where: 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Georgia State Stadium, Atlanta Records, rankings: Blessed Trinity is 13-1, the No. 1 seed from Region 7-AAAA and No. 3; Oconee County is 13-1, the No. 1 seed from 8-AAAA and No. 6. Last meeting: Blessed Trinity won 35-0 in the first round of the 2017 Class AAAA playoffs. Things to know: Blessed Trinity is seeking its third consecutive Class AAAA championship. The Titans' victory over Oconee County in the 2017 first round started their current 14-game winning streak in playoff games. Oconee County, seeking its first state championship since 1999, started the season unranked, lost to Clarke Central in its second game and didn't make its way into the top 10 until a 21-7 victory over St. Pius on Oct. 11. Blessed Trinity avenged its only loss (13-10 vs. Woodward Academy on Sept. 6) with a dominant 46-21 victory in the semifinals. The Titans lean heavily on a running game led by freshman Justice Haynes (187 carries, 1,703 yards, 18 touchdowns) and senior Elijah Green (178-1,442-19, committed to North Carolina), who missed four games early in the season with an injury. James Bryant scored a touchdown on offense (77-yard reception) and defense (12-yard interception return) last week. The Titans attempt about nine passes per game. Oconee County averages 165.1 yards rushing and 146.7 passing. QB Max Johnson (committed to LSU) has passed for 2,046 yards and 28 touchdowns. Jimmy Boswell has rushed for 1,162 yards and nine TDs. The teams have two common opponents this season - Marist lost to Blessed Trinity 33-30 and Oconee County 17-7; St. Pius lost to Blessed Trinity 28-10 and Oconee County 21-7.

ATLien12x Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 Class AAA Cedar Grove vs. Crisp County When, where: 1 p.m. Saturday, Georgia State Stadium, Atlanta Records, rankings: Cedar Grove is 12-2, the No. 1 seed from Region 5-AAA and No. 2; Crisp County is 11-3, the No. 1 seed from 1-AAA and No. 6. Last meeting: Cedar Grove won 55-0 in the 2016 Class AAA semifinals. Things to know: This is Crisp County's first state final, although predecessor school Cordele High won a Class C championship in 1951. Crisp's playoff run is not surprising, though, as the Cougars were a region champion with four home playoff games. Their losses this season have come to larger schools that have been in the top 10, with no losing margin greater than five points. Junior QB A.J. Lofton (861 yards passing, 1,043 rushing) and sophomore RB Marquise Palmer (1,512 rushing) account for most of the team's offense. Crisp hasn't allowed more than 21 points in a game. LB Chris Paul, a Power Five Conference recruit at linebacker, leads the team in solo tackles (63) and has 10 stops for losses. Cedar Grove is the defending champion and can win a third AAA title in four seasons under first-year coach Miguel Patrick. The Saints' losses have come to larger schools Central of Phenix City, Ala., and McEachern. Cedar Grove relies offensively on feature back Chavon Wright, who has 1,736 yards rushing, at least 120 in each of the past three games. Austin Smith has thrown for 1,321 yards. Cedar Grove is best known for its defense. DE Alvin Williams (Colorado), LB Isaiah Ratcliff (Power 5 recruit) and junior DL Demarius Jackson have 77 tackles for losses and 26.5 sacks among them.

ATLien12x Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 It literally rained up here ALL NIGHT. The weather is absolutely terrible today... first year moving the state championships outdoors at a neutral site and Mother Nature makes the GHSA pay with heavy rain. Least it’ll affect both teams but damn. Ugly, wet, and cold Good news is there will be no rain tomorrow. So the 4A and 7A championships are good to go.
