Chattahoochee used a stout defense and the Timmy Byerly-to-Kane Whitehurst connection that hadn’t failed them all year for a dominating 24-0 win in the Class AAAA state championship game.
Buford and Calhoun should plan for this every year. Just put the other team on the schedule for a meeting at the Georgia Dome during state finals weekend.
So when the regular season ended and the brackets came out, everyone, including myself penciled in how we thought the brackets would play out over the last few weeks.
Wesleyan could not capture the magic that made them state champions two seasons ago, as they fell 28-13 to Savannah Christian in the class A state semifinal.
Everyone across the state of Georgia was anticipating the matchup between the defense of Grayson and the offense of Colquitt County, but the Class AAAAA semifinal contest between the Rams and the Packers was decided by the other two units.
We are just one week away from the Finals at the Georgia Dome and it has most certainly been quite a ride. Tonight’s semi-finals matchup is Colquitt County High School vs. Grayson High School.
Upsets galore made the second week of the playoffs a memorable one and threw several classifications up for grabs. Then Saturday’s coin tosses shifted the dynamic of a few more of the brackets, so now the races are wide open across the state.
On an evening where Chattahoochee entered a home game 11-0 with perhaps another home game on the horizon next week, the Marist War Eagles came out the aggressor, contrary to the typical Alan Chadwick approach.
The GPB game of the week pits Marist against Chattahoochee in a rarely seen matchup between an intown Atlanta private school and a large suburban school from the northside of town.
As GPB’s Road to the Dome gets closer with every week, we are seeing some very familiar teams reappearing on Friday Night Football; one of those teams is Marist High School.
