I won't give up my picks but, I'll say what I chose for my tie breakers if you want. I already made my picks too. Interesting strategy to hide them though. I chose Lowndes-Archer for the large margin of victory and Harrison-Allatoona for the small margin of victory. And yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgGoneIt Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 Others could use the picks to their advantage that may just be screenwatchers/readers... The idea is to win. I went with Northside Warner Robins vs Veterans for the closest game and Parkview vs. Mill Creek for the biggest margin game. Was just spitballing on those and a couple of picks as well. ELCA/Woodward was a tough decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the way Lowndes has destroyed teams last year, I thought it would surely be them. Then again, by our luck, it'll probably be North Oconee versus Oconee County or some random game.

I expect the poor mouthing leading up to the game and then a statement type score against the lower classification championship favorite. Showtime recording for a series too. Yeah This^ Valdosta should have the feel to a 7A power this year if things go according to plan for Rush with Sunshine at QB. Warner Robins is a well known program, 5A finalist of many years, but bottom line is I’ve seen them a lot over the past few years and they have not been a top five team in Georgia. I expect Valdosta CAN be on that level if the team rolls like I expect it to under Propst. I’m taking Valdosta over everyone in 6A, too, so it’s not a slight at Warner Robins. Tough opening week on the road for the Demons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngdawg Posted September 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 That makes it 2 weeks in a row with Georgia football on ESPN. On September 11th, they are broadcasting Prince Avenue Christian vs. Rabun County, mainly because of the quarterback battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawgGoneIt Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 It would have been a travesty to not cover the Valdosta/Warner Robins game with it being Rush's first game back coaching, the Showtime series filming and just the fact that it's the Cats. A travesty I say! I'm starting to buy back in on ESPN having at least a little sense again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLien12x Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 Warner Robins has a very good schedule 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballGuy Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 Just remembered how WR is really at an disadvantage by not having the right film to study. Valdosta better take advantage of that. However, if Valdosta plans on running more than throwing, then that's gonna play right into WR's strength (stopping the run). Teams had very little success running the ball on WR last season. Maybe, just maybe, Valdosta will win this game on talent alone since they're still learning Rush's system. Either way I expect a great game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WR had no issues with the game being moved to Valdosta either. I think most realistic wildcat fans are a little worried about this game because they know what WR brings to the table and what they're (valdosta) going through (quarterback situation/transitioning into new system). But like I said earlier, Valdosta could eek out a win on talent alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the "banging helmets inside the tunnel" might play an intimidation factor initially, so it'll be interesting to see how WR will deal with that. I'm just glad everyone will get to see this game on national tv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
