Things we learned from Round One-metro style

The Lassiter Trojans may have stubbed their toes as the regular season wore on, but as long as Eddie Printz is upright back there, the Trojans have a shot. The quarterback has several nice receiving options and Niles Clark is not only a defensive back stud, he is a special teams beast. ...

Alpharetta is loaded with juniors, so despite the season ending with an overtime loss to Lassiter, expect coach Jason Dukes to have Alpharetta ready to build off of two straight trips to the postseason and this year’s region title. Joshua Dobbs, Carlos Burse, DeAndrew Wise and Khari Waithe-Alexander will have the Raiders once again in the postseason next year. ...

I need to apologize to Diandre Atwater for never really giving him his due. In the Corky Kell Classic he strapped Peachtree Ridge to his back and went score for score with Tyren Jones in a loss. Then he helped carry the Lions to the regular-season finale against North Gwinnett for a shot at the region title. Finally he scored three times and racked up 301 yards rushing in an overtime loss to Brookwood in the first round. The first and last games were the most impressive; too bad they came in losses. ...

Yusuf Minor has to be looked at by opposing coaches with wary eyes after scoring from 80 and 79 yards against Sprayberry. Tucker’s big-play offense was taken to a new level by Minor’s long runs. Juwaan Williams and Dallas Rivers also contributed long scoring runs in the 40-point victory. ...

ML King has Blake Tibbs and in the GPB.org game of the week, you saw Tibbs explode for a 96-yard kick return. Watch out for Josh Stanford though. Stanford has nice size and incredible hand, which he used both of to corral three touchdown receptions in the Lions 30-22 win over Coffee.
