Ramey's back and I wouldn't want to face East Paulding

The weekend that was in high school football featured plenty of close games, close calls and overtime decisions. In the GPB webcast game Ringgold defeated rival Heritage 20-19 after the Generals failed to convert twice after touchdowns. In regulation with a 13-3 lead, the Generals decided to try and put two on the board with a swinging gate play that failed. This allowed Ringgold to tie the game late and win in overtime after Heritage bounced an extra point attempt off an upright. Curious decision to go for two with a ten-point lead. ...

Chattahoochee needed overtime but eventually came out on top against Johns Creek. The defending champs certainly miss last year’s seniors, but the Cougars are scraping and clawing and earning each victory. ...

Don’t look now but Brookwood may have figured out its problems from early on in the season. Two losses and another close call are distant memories now with two straight 50+ point showings. ...

It was nice to see Jordan Ramey back out there for South Gwinnett. The junior suffered a broken arm in a scrimmage and missed the first half of the Comets season. Mason Hart has done well enough that there may be something of a QB controversy for John Small. ...

ML King returned the favor against Valdosta over the weekend, going down to Winnersville and handing the Wildcats a loss, one year after Valdosta came to DeKelb County and beat the Lions. The combination of Jonquel Dawson and Blake Tibbs is a tough one to beat as the Wildcats found out. ...

Can anyone score against East Paulding, especially in The Boneyard? East Paulding pitched its third straight shutout and fourth of the year. I wouldn’t want to face that defense. Oh and the offense is pretty stout too. GPB will be there in a few weeks for the game against Pope.
