Let's be real here. We all know that Buford will win class AA and ECI will win class A
But let's break it down....
AA
I think Jefferson or Lovett (Whomever wins the round two game between those two) comes out of that northwest bracket.
Buford will dominate the Northeast bracket, but the game with Rashard Smith and Dublin in the quarters will AT LEAST make Buford earn it. Smith might be the best singular talent in this classification (maybe Buford's Cody Getz) and he wins games by himself. this team will ONLY go as far as he can carry them. Which should be the quarters.
In the Southeast, I like Henry County and Drew Little and his talented receivers (both D-1 prospects.) But Henry county draws the Grayson path of Charlton Co (or Fitzgerald, but likely Charlton) in the second round with Pepperell waiting in the quarters. Oh, then you get Buford. Thanks. But I think if ANY team can beat Buford, it will be Henry Co in the F4, if they have enough juice left in the tank.
Over in the southwest bracket, no team really sticks out to me. Another weak bracket. Appling lost late, didn't it? Maybe Westminster? Nah, go with Appling.
Final four: Appling Co, Lovett, Buford, Henry Co
Champ; SHOCKER! Buford.
Class A-the running back class
Obviously I have ECI winning it all, but we will get to see a few RBs run for days in this playoff slate. Wesleyan's sophomore sensation Kyle Karempelis will lead his team to the Final four with no real competition coming from Warren, Bowdon or Savannah Christian.
In the Northeast, Bremen will need traction with wins over Landmark Christian and Athens Academy before facing ECI. (Athens Academy takes down Washington Wilkes with a power running game. they have it with...Calloway, I believe)
ECI meanwhile should only play Wayshaun Ealy in the first half SO HE CAN TAKE THE SECOND HALF TO STUDY AND GET ELIGIBLE FOR UGA NEXT SEASON! Clinch might offer SOME resistance in the second round. But not much.
In the southeast, you've got Brookstone as my favorite in that grouping. I looked up Brookstone for the Game o the week v Schley and they have it going on. The McClusky bros are unstoppable, at least on this level.
In the final bracket, Wilcox Co should make its way to the final four behind Antonio Marshall's big legs. He can put up similar numbers to Wayshaun Ealy, only it takes him all game to do what W.E. does in the first half. Regardless, he has numbers.
Final four: Wesleyan (this is why the school dropped to Class A, was for football!) Wilcox Co, ECI adn Brookstone
Champ: ECI. comeon.
Talk to you next week, and be sure to log on to gpb.org/football or scoreatl.com for more of THIS GUY this Friday! (Shameless self-promotion)
