Everything is gonna be alright..the playoffs are here!

Part three is RIGHT in my wheelhouse. Classification AAA. I have followed this Class for GPB all season, so I know a bit about these teams. Let's get RIGHT TO IT.
My initial thoughts say that Paul Mac's Baldwin Braves might have the best team entering the playoffs, sorry Cairo and Carver-Columbus (the defending champs that Baldwin already beat once this year). My darkhorse to win it all: Dunwoody. I've been on these guys all season and I just hope the injuries they suffered against St. PiusX don't come back to haunt them...........

Let's roll on to the brackets.
Northwest. Cairo is the #1 team from the preseason and they won all 9 of the games it played in. (one was hurricaned out.) Angelo Pease and Reggie Bryant and Ronnie Wooten can score against anyone, and Troup isn't an easy first round opponent. But Cairo didn't come this far to lose this early.
As far as Burke Co and Mary Persons, my sophomore roommate at UGA was from Mary Persons, but I can't go with the Fighting Adams just because of that. Burke is my pick here.
Eastside and Creekview shouldn't be entertaining as Eastside is a boring #1. It will win, but boring.
Carrollton and Washington might be fun, but Carrollton is too talented to lose this early.

The Northeast bracket finds Carver-Atlanta and its talented defense will go down to Ridgeland's offense. The #1 though will go down the following week as Flowery Branch is a #3 seed, despite being the second best team in Region7. The Reservation is normally a tough place in which to play, but not this year. Connor Shaw and the rest of the Falcons pull the upset in round one and "shock" Ridgeland in round 2. Shaw's boys are good up in Flowery Branch.
Too bad FloBranch is also in Baldwin's bracket. Yep. The BRaves will ROLL over Eagles' Landing before stomping Peach Co AGAIN. They already won once this year against Peach, and they will do so yet again. The scores may make you think it isn't a blowout, but just watch the games. They dominate. Corrico Hawkins leads the best defense in the Classification. As for Shaw and Peach Co, Shaw has lost 73 games this season and they will lose #74.

The Southeast bracket has Dunwoody, my darkhorse winning over Central Carroll then facing, likely North Hall. NHHS faces Hart Co and if I remember Hart Co correctly they have two junior twins as its star QB and WR. Give Hart Co ONE MORE YEAR to make noise. I'm tempted to pick the Hartwell warriors, but think that North Hall wins at home.
Jackson/Thomson could be a great game, but Jackson ends up winning a nailbiter. Everyone will have to wait until Saturday to see that LaGrange crushes Dougherty. Grangers probably takes the Jackson game too. Grangers were #2 up until two weeks ago in the GPB/Score Atl poll.

The final bracket is the southwest and defending champ Carver-Columbus is facing Crisp in round one with likely Waco in round two. Washington County has lost 2 of its last 3, but got a little MO with a win last week. I think Carver-Columbus (which lost big time to Baldwin and by 1 to NWR) is more than ready to advance to the quarters.
The lower side of the bracket has Gainesville as the "Grayson" of AAA. Blake Sims must first go through the strong armed Zach Mettenberger of Oconee Co. (hey, good QBs can sometimes carry teams. But Oconee County's supporting cast isn't very good. Can wait to see that arm with capable receivers though!) Then if the Red Elephants can get past the Warriors, it will face either Donovan Tate of Cartersville (could be the #1 overall MLB pick or could go to his pick of SEC schools for CFB. WOW, what an athlete) or Cole Moon and St. Pius X, who will be angry after losing to Dunwoody to end the season. Then if Gainesville survives that game, the defending champ in Carver-Columbus is sitting right there. Oh, then they'd face Cairo and Baldwin. If this IS truly Gainesville's year, they will certainly EARN it.

My final four picks: Cairo, Baldwin, Dunwoody, Carver-Columbus
Champ:Baldwin. (You are welcome Body!)
