One week down and a lot of action has already taken shape.
If I told you that NINE ranked teams would be gone, what would you have told me…???

Yeah, exactly…
NINE ranked teams are gone and an entire region, Region 7-6A is off the board entirely- no North Gwinnett (who was upset by Central Gwinnett), no Mill Creek (who was beaten at home by Grayson on GPB), no Norcross (so, no defending champ), and no Peachtree Ridge (who was beaten by Dacula).
And that was only the first week…
Let’s see how we got there…
First, down south with Jake in “The Locker Room” where Valdosta is gone after Week One…

Then, one of the big teams in triple-a took it on the chin. Normally, Fort Valley is a tough place to play. But no one told Appling County when they travelled to Peach.
Ben and Frank are in jeans to talk about the Trojans…

Ware County was NOT one of the teams that lost in the first round. They had a home game at Veteran’s Memorial against Starr’s Mill. It was a bit of a slow start, but they got it together at the right time.

Washington County is on another roll… this past week, putting up a big number on Jackson-Atlanta. Kevin and Andrew have the highlights of that one, Westy and Laney, and Locust Grove with some Burke County.
