Watson outstanding for Gainesville

Deshaun Watson’s coach may have won a coin toss, but Watson won the game against Sandy Creek, accounting for all five of Gainesville’s touchdowns in a 35-21 win. Watson passed for 220 yards and a pair of scores while running for 100 yards on 25 carries and a host of rushing scores. ...

One name that gets perhaps overlooked in AAAA is Miguel Williams of Northside. He racked up 179 yards of total offense to go with three scores in a 36-8 win over Tri-Cities. ...

Much has been made over the Tyren Jones transfer from Lassiter to Walton. Jones rushed for 140 yards and totaled two scores in a win over Dacula on GPB TV. However the back that took his spot in the Trojans offense Isiah Willis had nearly as big of a night, rushing for 138 yards on 23 carries. Willis has been a force all season, running when coach Jep Irwin calls his name and catching plenty of passes out of the backfield. Each back looks perfect for the system he currently plays in. ...

A matchup to keep your eye on this week is Niles Clark against Zack Blaylock. Clark recorded a pick-six against ML King one week after recording an interception against McEachern. Blaylock took a pass down the sidelines 95 yards for a score against Dacula, but earlier this year he was held to just 51 yards on three catches as Walton chewed up the clock and real estate on the ground with Jones. Blaylock’s score came on a pick-six. ...

Duluth’s Corey Jarvis was selected to be one of seven assistant coaches in the upcoming US Army All-American Bowl. Jarvis and Lowndes’ Randy McPherson will assist east head coach Robert Weiner (Plant High School, Tampa) in the high school all-star game.
