The 20th Metro PCS Corky Kell Classic was held over the weekend and a lot was learned at the Georgia Dome. First off, Saturday was a HUGE day for Cobb County.
Kell was playing its first game without the Georgia 2010 Gatorade Player of the Year Brian Randolph, who now suits up for Derek Dooley at Tennessee. Despite the loss of Randolph, the Longhorns held nationally-ranked Grayson scoreless for the first three quarters, giving up just a Robert Nkemdiche touchdown after fumbling a punt inside its own ten yard line. Anyone counting Kell out this year should rethink that, especially as its young quarterback matures...
Nkemdiche is also a man amongst boys. Seriously, this 6’4, 265 defensive lineman/power runningback could suit up and play in the SEC this year. He’s a junior FYI. Jamie Newberg of ESPN said on the broadcast that Nkemdiche has a chance to be the best high school recruit he’s ever seen...
Everyone expected Lassiter junior quarterback Eddie Printz to play well this season, but it was the defense showing in the second half that the Trojans may be title contenders... Lassiter head coach Jep Irwin told GPB’s Gil Tyree that defensive back Niles Clark is the best cover corner in the state and Clark knocked a few passes away to live up to that hype. The Trojan defense repelled the Brookwood attack time and time again, leading Printz to praise the defense after the game...
McEachern has a roster loaded with BCS-level talent, period. The Indians face a difficult trip to Lowndes in September but if the magic shown against North Gwinnett continues, perhaps Cobb County’s title drought will end...McEachern QB Trent Thompson was the most impressive quarterback of the night according to GPB recruiting expert Scott Janovitz...
Biggest transfer of the year? Tyren Jones made his Walton debut Saturday, scoring twice, including one 80-yard jaunt as Walton defeated Peachtree Ridge... And despite the loss, the Lions look like they could sneak back into the playoffs on the legs of Diandre Atwater. He scored twice Saturday night.
