quarterbacks...WATCH OUT!

Quarterbacks across the state of Georgia are taking quite a beating lately as several high-profile signal-callers are feared lost for the season with a full weekend of games having not even taken place. South Gwinnett needed to replace two-sport star Kent Rollins and thought they had the next big thing at quarterback in 6’4 junior Jordan Ramey. Comets head coach John Small told various media outlets that he thought Ramey could be a big-time recruit in the 2013 class, but Ramey was potentially lost for the season after breaking an arm in a scrimmage against Mill Creek. Small went with 5’10 junior Mason Hart, a projected safety, under center against Lowndes in a 45-13 loss. He completed 17 of 25 passes for 108 yards, one score and two interceptions…

Will Gardner, who has pledged to the Louisville Cardinals was perhaps lost for the season as well in Coffee’s win over Brunswick. Gardner left near halftime with a ruptured ACL and could be at the end of his high school career. Santory Long filled in, passing for a score and running for another in the victory…

The Fitzgerald/Tift County football game featured a moment of silence and a prayer to honor the memory of Fitzgerald player DJ Searcy, who recently passed away at a football camp. Tift County came away with the 29-22 win, but the Blue Devils needed a strong effort from back-up quarterback Kris Miller after Tadric Jackson left with a minor ankle injury, according to the Valdosta Daily Times…

Lastly, Kayla Floor is at it again for Collins Hill. Monday, Floor struck out five batters and gave up just one unearned run in the Lady Eagles 9-1 softball win over Peachtree Ridge. Floor is 4-1 on the year after winning twenty games one year ago and being named Class 5A pitcher of the year.
