Colquitt County at Grayson colquitt county grayson Opponent Score Opponent Score flurry of upsets in Class 5A has formed an unlikely semifinal matchup between a pair of Cook 9-15 (L) Kell 10-13 (L) ANo. 3 seeds in Colquitt County and Grayson. The two teams have combined to earn five of their six postseason victories on the road. Colquitt County toppled Jenkins 50-21, pulled out South Panola 35-65 (L) Spain Park 20-9 (W) a 48-47 thriller at M.L. King, then hosted Mill Creek last Friday and prevailed 27-14. Grayson, Thomas County Central 29-35 (L) Archer 55-0 (W) on the road for all three of its contests, opened with a 31-0 shutout of North Forsyth, edged North Gwinnett 23-19, and most recently blanked Valdosta 22-0. Westlake 43-27 (W) Berkmar 58-13 (W) For a while it looked like Colquitt County might not even qualify for the playoffs. The Warner Robins 35-14 (W) Shiloh 48-0 (W) Packers dropped their first three games of the season to Cook County, South Panola (MS), and Carver 34-31 (W) Dacula 16-10 (W) Thomas County Central. They went 2-2 in Region 1-AAAAA but tested Valdosta in a 36-29 loss to end the regular season. From there, Colquitt County has not looked back. The offense, Tift County 63-28 (W) Parkview 28-13 (W) led by quarterback Tyler Brown, running back Tevin King, and receiver Tommy Hudson, is as Lowndes 27-37 (L) South Gwinnett 22-24 (L) good as there is in Georgia. Coffee 38-27 (W) Brookwood 0-10 (L) Grayson lost its opener to Kell and suffered a pair of setbacks in October, but the Rams are peaking at the right time. Their two playoff shutouts give them four on the season and Valdosta 29-36 (L) Central Gwinnett 38-18 (W) they have allowed more than 20 points only once in 13 games. This semifinal will feature an Jenkins 50-21 (W) North Forsyth 31-0 (W) intriguing clash between Colquitt’s offense and Grayson’s defense. The Rams forced Valdosta King 48-47 (W) North Gwinnett 23-19 (W) into six turnovers and will look for more of the same against a Packers offense that gave it away five times against Mill Creek. Mill Creek 27-14 (W) Valdosta 22-0 (W)

Collins Hill at Brookwood Collins Hill Brookwood Opponent Score Opponent Score rookwood is the lone remaining No. 1 seed in Class 5A and the Broncos are set to host Roswell 13-9 (W) Walton 27-10 (W) BCollins Hill in an all-Gwinnett semifinal showdown. The game is a rematch of a regular- season clash on Sept. 3, which Brookwood won 45-38. While they boast a 12-1 record, the Brookwood 38-45 (L) Collins Hill 45-38 (W) Broncos have not taken an easy route to the last four victories. After beating Alpharetta 44-13 King 36-43 (L) Dacula 14-24 (L) in round one, Brookwood then got past Norcross 34-24 and won a back-and-forth shootout over North Gwinnett 20-33 (L) Archer 37-0 (W) Hillgrove 45-35. The team’s only loss of the season came at the hands of Region 8-AAAAA rival Dacula 24-14 way back on Sept. 10. Duluth 49-14 (W) Central Gwinnett 59-13 (W) Collins Hill, the No. 2 seed out of Region 7-AAAAA, is also in the midst of a huge Peachtree Ridge 14-10 (W) South Gwinnett 42-21 (W) winning streak. The Eagles found themselves at 1-3 after consecutive losses to Brookwood, M.L. King and North Gwinnett, but they have now won nine in a row. Collins Hill booked its Mill Creek 42-34 (W) Shiloh 44-0 (W) spot in the semifinals with close victories over Woodstock (7-3), Roswell (35-24) and Lowndes Mountain View 24-0 (W) Parkview 10-3 (W) (31-28 in overtime), the last two of which came on the road. Norcross 42-0 (W) Grayson 10-0 (W) If their previous meeting and recent playoff games are any indication, another offen- sive eruption could be in the cards. Brookwood’s high-powered attack is led by quarterback Ben Meadowcreek 36-0 (W) Berkmar 45-20 (W) McLane and running back Nick Tompkins, while kicker Erick Yang has been clutch in the post- Woodstock 7-3 (W) Alpharetta 44-13 (W) season. The Broncos, though, will have to take care of the football after committing seven turn- Roswell 35-24 (W) Norcross 34-24 (W) overs against Hillgrove. For Collins Hill, quarterback Taylor Heinicke is the all-time leading passer in Gwinnett County and he overwhelmed Lowndes with 395 yards and three touchdowns. Lowndes 31-28 (W) Hillgrove 45-35 (W)

Chattahoochee at Statesboro chattahoochee statesboro Opponent Score Opponent Score he undefeated Chattahoochee Cougars (13-0) head to Statesboro Friday night to play the Lambert 31-7 (W) Brunswick 21-12 (W) TBlue Devils (11-2) for a berth in the state championship game. The Cougars, coming off a 37-14 win over Dutchtown in the Class 4A quarterfinals, are looking for their first perfect Forsyth Central 35-14 (W) Washington County 19-14 (W) season in school history, as well as their first state title. Creekview 42-7 (W) Tattnall County 24-14 (W) Head coach Terry Crowder has posted just two winning seasons at Chattahoochee, and 2010 has been the Cougars’ best season under the seventh-year coach. Prior to this year the Northwest Whitfield 45-15 (W) Liberty County 0-29 (L) Cougars had not won more than eight games under Coach Crowder. Johns Creek 48-14 (W) Lakeside 26-24 (W) Five-time state champion Statesboro is looking for its first title since 2005, and its Woodland 52-14 (W) Effingham County 28-14 (W) second under current head coach Steve Pennington. The Blue Devils defeated Cobb County powerhouse Kell 17-7 in the quarterfinals, and have not lost since Week 7 when they lost to Sequoyah 45-7 (W) South Effingham 42-21 (W) Evans. Statesboro has been fairly balanced on both sides of the ball this year allowing 17 ppg Cass 49-14 (W) Evans 15-20 (L) while scoring 23 ppg. Chattahoochee has been more dominant throughout the season, forcing a South Forsyth 52-14 (W) Greenbrier 31-7 (W) region-leading 42 ppg while allowing only 13 ppg. Chattahoochee and Statesboro entered the playoffs as No. 1 seeds from Region Rome 44-7 (W) Brunswick 21-14 (W) 7-AAAA and Region 2-AAAA respectively. The winner of Friday’s game will play the winner Pope 42-14 (W) Tri-Cities 24-21 (W) of the Tucker/Starr’s Mill game. This will be the first ever meeting between the two schools. Marist 31-28 (W) Griffin 34-28 (W) Score 44 member Matt Kiefer, an offensive lineman, will be on the field for the Cougars. Kiefer has yet to commit to a school. Dutchtown 37-14 (W) Kell 17-7 (W)

The Tigers (13-0, 10-0) are coming off a dominating 42-3 win over Ware County, Woodland 21-7 (W) Marist 31-24 (W) and are looking for their second state title in three years. The Tigers are 49-5 in four years Alcovy 27-0 (W) Carver 27-13 (W) under head coach Franklin Stephens, and a win Friday would put them one win away from Upson-Lee 45-19 (W) Chamblee 68-0 (W) the first perfect season in school history. Whitewater 21-14 (W) Douglass 45-0 (W) Starr’s Mill (13-0, 6-0) is also looking for their first perfect season as well as their first state title. Playing for a new coach for the first time since the Panthers started playing football Fayette County 34-0 (W) Mays 32-10 (W) in 1998, a win Friday night would, at a minimum, secure the best single-season record in school McIntosh 48-0 (W) Miller Grove 42-7 (W) history. Head coach Chad Phillips’ boys defeated East Paulding 28-0 in the state quarterfinals. Northgate 35-24 (W) Redan 59-24 (W) Friday’s game will feature three Tigers who are Score 44 members, a list of the top 44 senior football players in the state. Linebackers James Vaughters and Justin Garrett have been Harris County 42-8 (W) Lithonia 58-6 (W) dominant on defense this year, and are a big reason Tucker’s defense ranks amongst the best in Griffin 24-7 (W) Lakeside 46-6 (W) the state holding opponents to 10 ppg.

Peach County at Sandy Creek peach county sandy creek Opponent Score Opponent Score he Peach County Trojans own the longest active winning streak in the state, with 28 con- Warner Robins 20-0 (W) Whitewater 20-14 (W) Tsecutive victories. After beating their opponents by a combined score of 82-0 in the first two rounds of the playoffs, it took 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to overcome a Rutland 35-0 (W) Eagle’s Landing 51-0 (W) huge deficit against Grady and keep the winning streak alive. With a 42-35 victory over the Veterans 62-7 (W) Drew 48-6 (W) Grey Knights, Peach County still has hopes to defend their Class 3A championship at the Central 55-6 (W) Henry County 41-21 (W) Georgia Dome. Two fourth-down conversions and huge plays on offense kept the game alive. Westside 42-7 (W) Eastside 30-10 (W) The defense shut down Grady’s Marcus Caffey while the Trojans’ Travis Richmond came alive to lead his team to victory with 118 yards rushing and two touchdowns. After a scary West Laurens 56-0 (W) Locust Grove 49-23 (W) victory at Grady Stadium, Peach County will now turn its attention to Sandy Creek, who has Mary Persons 41-20 (W) Jackson 35-7 (W) coasted through the playoffs. Perry 53-20 (W) Spalding 38-0 (W) The Patriots are a defending state champion as well. After moving down from Class 4A as the defending champion, Sandy Creek will now play the defending Class 3A champ. Howard 52-7 (W) Fayette County 10-0 (W) Chip Walker’s team has won 27 consecutive games and will look to make that theirs the longest Baldwin 35-15 (W) Stockbridge 38-26 (W) winning streak in the state with a win over Peach County. The Patriots have won all three play- Stockbridge 49-0 (W) Perry 44-3 (W) off games thus far by outscoring opponents 133-3, their most recent a 41-0 romp over Monroe Thomson 33-0 (W) Americus-Sumter 48-0 (W) Area. This game is almost guaranteed to be a shootout and should be full of intensity. Grady 42-35 (W) Monroe Area 41-0 (W)

Burke County at Carrollton Burke County carrollton Opponent Score Opponent Score or the first time since 1997, Burke County is back in the semifinals. But it hasn’t been easy Baldwin 8-14 (L) Oxford 43-21 (W) for the Bears. F Josey 57-12 (W) Westminster 35-7 (W) Burke County has squeezed by their first three playoff opponents in wins against Crisp (19-18) in the first round, Baldwin (21-20) in the second, and then a 45-20 victory over Lowndes 0-36 (L) Centennial 49-14 (W) Cedar Grove in the quarterfinals. Westside 72-0 (W) Woodland 49-6 (W) With the Cedar Grove game tied at halftime, the Bears needed their defense to step Glenn Hills 62-18 (W) Haralson County 46-0 (W) up and their running game to get going. Led by a huge rushing attack and a strong defensive effort, Burke County came out firing and scored 23 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to Hephzibah 49-13 (W) Troup County 48-7 (W) defeat Cedar Grove 45-20. The Saints’ inability to score on their first two red-zone possessions Cross Creek 62-6 (W) LaGrange 49-0 (W) to open the second half left the door open for Burke County to take control of the game, which Washington County 28-21 (W) Shaw 42-0 (W) they did. The Bears will hope for a similar effort against the Carrollton Trojans tonight. Butler 35-8 (W) Columbus 63-0 (W) Carrollton is making their first appearance in the semifinals since 1998. Trojans head coach Rayvan Teague is making his first appearance in the semifinals at the school. Carrollton has Thomson 27-9 (W) Central 61-0 (W) had both blowouts and close wins thus far in the playoffs. In the first round, the Trojans walked Crisp County 19-18 (W) Stephens County 63-20 (W) through Stephens County in a 63-20 rout. They then squeaked by St. Pius X 14-7 in the second Baldwin 21-20 (W) St. Pius X 14-7 (W) round, which was by far their closest game of the year to that point. Finally, Carrollton shut out previously unbeaten Cairo 17-0 in the quarterfinals. Cedar Grove 45-20 (W) Cairo 17-0 (W)

After all, Kthe favorites don’t know all too much about close games. They beat Buford 14-0 early in Spencer 63-0 (W) Dalton 27-14 (W) the season, and have been rolling ever since. In one of the most dominant seasons in any clas- Buford 14-0 (W) Armuchee 49-13 (W) sifications Dell McGee’s bunch is scoring an incredible 37 points per game and is giving up just Hardaway 44-0 (W) Pepperell 35-0 (W) four per game for their opponents. A big reason for their success is superstar running back Isaiah Crowell. The big-time recruit LaGrange 21-3 (W) Chattooga 40-0 (W) rushed for close to 2,000 yards in his junior season, and has been even better this time around. Just look Heard County 34-6 (W) Sonoraville 42-8 (W) at his performance against Thomasville last week, when he rushed for 314 yards and five touchdowns. Manchester 39-6 (W) North Murray 54-7 (W) The Tigers do it in the run game, but Kris Carson is also a reliable force under center. Then there’s that stout defense, which features a terrifying cornerback tandem in Deion Bonner Callaway 39-17 (W) Gordon Central 44-6 (W) and Riyadh Jones. Kendrick 47-0 (W) Dade County 43-8 (W) While their opponents excel on the ground, Calhoun can do big things in the air. Check out last week’s win over Fitzgerald, when J.T. Palmer caught two passes for touch- Jordan 43-0 (W) Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe 54-24 (W) downs. But they also have great balance offensively thanks to preseason all-state performer Temple 41-8 (W) Rockmart 35-8 (W) Dustin Christian, a talent with speed similar to Crowell’s. Pepperell 35-0 (W) Manchester 44-8 (W) You don’t get this far without a strong defense, and Calhoun is no exception, with junior tackling machine Alex Kirby leading a stout front seven at linebacker. Greater Atlanta Christian 21-7 (W) Westminster 36-19 (W) Don’t expect the Jackets to be intimidated by Crowell and company. They’ve been Thomasville 41-14 (W) Fitzgerald 31-13 (W) here before, as they were state runners-up in 2009. Lovett at Buford lovett buford Opponent Score Opponent Score

ess Simpson’s team has already been to this party. The Wolves have turned into a dynasty Thomasville 11-13 (L) Gainesville 40-19 (W) under the sixth-year head coach. Just check the history – three consecutive state titles and J Towers 44-7 (W) Carver 0-14 (L) just four losses in six seasons. Alex Ross is solid under center. But it’s been the running game that features the three- Callaway 41-21 (W) Westminster 32-10 (W) headed monster of do-it-all Dominique Swope, experienced and dangerous Seon Jones, and Buford 14-37 (L) Therrell 33-6 (W) uber-athletic Eric Barr out of the backfield.

But they’ve been a dominant team Therrell 51-14 (W) Decatur 42-7 (W) since that loss, winning all their games by 23 points or more before showing they can also win Blessed Trinity 38-17 (W) ugly in last week’s 21-14 victory over Cook. Clarkston 47-0 (W) The team which lost to them by those 23 points was region opponent Lovett. The upstart South Atlanta 41-7 (W) Avondale 48-2 (W) Lions lost 37-14 to Buford in week 4, and looked vulnerable after losing to arch-rival Westminster by Westminster 14-37 (L) the same score later in the season, and finished fourth in Region 6. But they responded from that loss Decatur 33-13 (W) Greater Atlanta Christian 38-7 (W) by rattling off four straight wins. Now they’re just one win away from playing in the Georgia Dome. Hart County 52-22 (W) The Lions will look to control the clock with their running game. Zach Boden rushed for 135 Elbert County 27-20 (W) yards in a first-round win, and then ran for an astounding 239 yards and three scores in a quarterfinal Dade County 42-6 (W) Callaway 52-14 (W) win against Brooks Co. He was a big reason for last week’s win, as starting quarterback Hunter Budd Brooks County 35-18 (W) Cook 21-14 (W) was not active. Jack Geraghty filled in admirably for Budd last week, rushing for four touchdowns.

Clinch County at Wilkinson County Clinch County Wilkinson County Opponent Score Opponent Score o say the sum is greater than the parts would not be insulting to the Clinch County Cougars Pierce County 41-28 (W) Johnson County 27-28 (L) Tbecause the sum adds up to the top-ranked squad in Class A. Clinch County improved to 13-0 and earned a spot in the semifinals with a 34-27 comeback win over ELCA last week Brantley County 48-27 (W) Southwest 14-7 (W) thanks to two fourth-quarter touchdowns from Anthony McNeil. Last season, McNeil was the Wilcox County 33-14 (W) Whitefield Academy 33-7 (W) Cougars’ leading rusher and he has teamed with Tray Dorsey to form a potent one-two punch Bacon County 51-7 (W) Dougherty 19-21 (L) out of the offensive backfield. The Cougar defense has shut down several potent offenses all Irwin County 47-0 (W) Aquinas 13-7 (W) season long and will look to do the same against Wilkinson County. Clinch County has some big wins on the year, having knocked off ranked opponents Wilcox County and Charlton Coun- Turner County 47-14 (W) Washington-Wilkes 28-7 (W) ty entering the playoffs. Lanier County 48-6 (W) Twiggs County 47-6 (W) Wilkinson County will need a standout performance from sophomore quarterback Telfair County 55-0 (W) Hancock Central 31-14 (W) David Whipple, who threw a 28-yard touchdown pass and ran for a go-ahead 40-yard scoring scamper in the Warriors’ 20-7 win over ECI. Before the season is over, Whipple likely will post Atkinson County 63-0 (W) Warren County 35-20 (W) 2,000 yards passing and 30 scores through the air. He’ll have the support of Tevin Underwood Charlton County 33-7 (W) Lincoln County 26-14 (W) at tailback, Alvin Dupree at tight end and Devontaye Drayton at wideout. Drayton has had Greenville 34-6 (W) Holy Innocents’ 34-30 (W) some problems with drops this year but he was solid in the quarterfinals against ECI, hauling in one score and securing a two-point conversion. The Warriors have now advanced to the semi- Miller County 35-14 (W) Bremen 26-15 (W) finals for the second time in three seasons. ELCA 34-27 (W) ECI 20-7 (W) Savannah Christian at Wesleyan savannah christian Wesleyan Opponent Score Opponent Score he Wesleyan Wolves won the Class A state title in 2008 and now sit on the verge of another McIntosh Co. Academy 27-6 (W) Seminole County 38-20 (W) championship game appearance. Several players have contributed to the team’s remark- T Wheeler County 14-7 (W) Elbert County 25-23 (W) able 2010 run but senior Kyle Karempelis has been churning up mileage like no other during the playoffs. Karempelis rushed for 298 yards in a quarterfinal win over Wilcox County and Jenkins County 35-7 (W) Twiggs County 33-0 (W) had three touchdowns to spark the victory. He has over 5,000 rushing yards in his career and 92 Effingham County 28-7 (W) Holy Innocents’ 24-10 (W) scores, which is more than Herschel Walker had. Andrew Frerking provides senior leadership Claxton 41-0 (W) Fellowship Christian 63-6 (W) from the quarterback position and UGA-bound offensive lineman David Andrews calls the shots in the trenches. Savannah Country Day 27-12 (W) Pace Academy 48-14 (W) Savannah Christian meanwhile is just one win away from returning to the Georgia Metter 35-7 (W) King’s Ridge Christian 49-6 (W) Dome one season after coming up a win short of the title. The Raiders surely remember the Calvary Day 0-6 (L) Pinecrest Academy 50-7 (W) 2009 final when they lost 30-21 to Wilcox County and will have that on their minds today. The Bryan County 35-7 (W) Mt. Pisgah Christian 41-0 (W) 2010 edition features a balanced offense led by quarterback Harrison Curry, who is capable of placing the ball anywhere on the field. The running game is strong as well with Will Austin Montgomery County 42-6 (W) ELCA 28-35 (L) grinding out rushing yards as well as receiving yards (he ran for a 44-yard score and hauled in a Mitchell County 17-7 (W) Warren County 48-13 (W) touchdown reception against Lincoln County in the quarterfinals) to complement Nardo Govan Charlton County 37-6 (W) Athens Academy 35-14 (W) and fullback Andrew Moore. The defense is also stout, allowing just one second-half first down while snagging two fourth-quarter interceptions to ice the quarterfinals victory. Lincoln County 17-14 (W) Wilcox County 45-28 (W)
