AUGUSTA

Commitment, work ethic and players with integrity are the key ingredients for the success of Richmond Academy High’s football program. The Musketeers haven’t had a winning season since 1998 but this year’s group has put together a 3 & 1 record, undefeated in region play.

SOCIAL CIRCLE

After making 101 tackles/63 solo with 13 sacks last season, Social Circle High senior Tytus Baynes/DL is getting a whole lot of respect by opposing teams in 2008 with most double and triple teaming him at the line of scrimmage. Interest in Baynes, who is on schedule to graduate, has been growing on a weekly basis. Tytus Baynes is this week’s “Cream of the Crop” feature recognizing one of Georgia’s senior football standouts.
