Getting you Ready for the Corky Kell Classic

With the Corky Kell Classic set for this Saturday, one team will come into the contest nationally ranked and that team is the Grayson Rams. Led by quarterback Nick Schuessler and defensive monster Robert Nkemdiche, the Rams are ranked No. 42 in the Rivals High 100, No. 24 in PrepNation’s preseason poll and No. 25 in MaxPreps national poll. Grayson will be breaking in a new offensive coordinator in Tyler Aurandt after previous OC O.J. Soto took the head coaching position at Walnut Grove. The Rams will face Kell in the first game of the day.

The North Gwinnett Bulldogs will also take part in the Corky Kell but will do so with former QB/WR C.J. Uzomah, now at Auburn. Scotty Hosch takes over the signal-caller position full-time this year after impressing at the first ever AT&T Junior Bowl earlier this January. .. He may be throwing to a brand new face to both North Gwinnett and to football in WR Chris Bolden. The Georgia Tech hoops-bound shooting guard transferred to North Gwinnett after winning a state title at Norcross with the basketball team. He is also taking back up football after not playing for the last few seasons. The No. 8 Bulldogs will face No. 6 McEachern.

The Brookwood Broncos, ranked No. 1 in the AJC preseason poll, will open up the defense of its Class 5A state title on the same carpet where the team secured the state title last December in a match-up against the Lassiter Trojans. The Broncos are led by Score 44 member Nick Tompkins, who has committed to Michigan State. He will play both offense and defense this year for the Broncos. Zach Jackson will patrol the defensive secondary with Tompkins before heading to play for Ron Zook at Illinois next year.
