Best Brooks Co in a while? , Carrollton on a roll

Could this Brooks County team really win the state title? Some Trojans fans believe this team is the best edition since the 1994 title team and Maurice Freeman’s squad has rattled off six straight victories since falling to 5A power Valdosta in the season-opener. Brooks County is No. 7 in the latest Class AA poll. ... Would a victory on the road over Buford be enough to put Greater Atlanta Christian into the AA top spot? Calhoun may have a problem with that as the Yellow Jackets sit 7-0 while allowing more than one touchdown just twice this season with shutouts. ... Parkview will need to erase all memories of its 36-0 loss to Grayson quickly as the Panthers travel to face Brookwood in the Battle of Five Forks-Trickum. The Broncos have rounded into playoff-shape and sit tied with Parkview for second in Region 8-5A. Conversely the Broncos will need to focus on this game knowing that a road trip to Grayson awaits and the Rams may still be angry over last season’s Brookwood victory. ... Carrollton continues to roll after thumping Shaw 49-6. The Trojans have won seven straight, each by at least 32 points, save for a narrow win over Troup. Carrollton rattled off 14 in a row last year before losing the title game to Sandy Creek to finish 14-1. The Trojans would certainly take another 14-1 season this year. ... Brookwood and Walton fared well in the recent Coach Wood Invitation held in Gainesville over the weekend. The Brookwood boys won the male event, two spots ahead of Walton and three ahead of St. Pius X. The Walton girls finished runner-up to a Florida school, just ahead of Brookwood and Parkview.
