While Eddie Printz of Lassiter may be the higher profile quarterback in this week’s GPB.org webcast of the week, don’t overlook Trent Thompson of McEachern. The left-hander has pledged to Georgia State and thrived since getting the Indians full-time gig his senior season. Thompson can hit his weapons on the outside, but his senior leadership stands out more than anything else he brings to the table.

Tyren Jones has racked up nearly 1800 yards this year for Walton along with 27 rushing scores.

The Raiders are a threat this year and could pull off a repeat next year as both are juniors. ...
Despite a tremendous effort from Kevin Ellison, Habersham Central’s season came to an end against the Chattahoochee Cougars. Ellison rushed for four scores but the Raiders fell 65-48. Ellison willed his team to six wins this season and deserves some player of the year attention. ...
Frank Hepler’s West Forsyth team may be the quietest 10-1 team in all of Georgia high school football, and the Wolverines have a tough match-up with Hillgrove this Friday. Hepler’s lone loss this season came to Alpharetta. ...
Tim McFarlin didn’t waste much time once he arrived at Blessed Trinity. The Titans have already made some playoff-noise and have a chance to send some serious shockwaves through Class AA when they travel to Barnesville to face 11-0 Lamar County. Blessed Trinity dropped three of its first four games but rebounded to go 5-0 in its subregion. A second loss to Buford interrupted a five-game winning streak.
