The Walton Raiders have a chance to make history as the first team from Cobb County to win a GHSA Class AAAAA title. No Cobb County school has won a crown since Marietta accomplished the feat in 1967 in AAA. Parker McLeod may have been in the shadow of Eddie Printz in terms of hype entering last Friday’s matchup, but the junior quarterback threw for a score and ran one in to help Walton win 30-24. He may be asked to do more as Grayson’s run defense is intense. ...
Robert Nkemdiche may only be a junior but this could be his best shot at a state title. Why? Nick Schuessler. The senior quarterback is often overlooked, but he is accurate and quite capable. He threw for a pair of scores against Colquitt County, including the game-winner with under one minute to play. Mickey Conn should feel confident with Schuessler pulling the trigger on the offense. ...
Tucker needed some magic to reach the finals, but expect the Tigers to offer Lovejoy its toughest challenge yet on offense. The Tigers can throw four backs out there, and Yusuf Minor is a star in the making. ...
I doubt Buford was looking ahead to the title game in its slow start on Friday night in Columbus. It was more likely a case of LSU/UGA: a team was highly motivated and threw a big first punch to stagger the better team. Just like the SEC champ, Buford gathered itself and seized control in the second half. Sam Clay is going to be a star for Georgia Tech on the baseball field, but he has turned into one heck of a high school quarterback. The shame of it is, we will never really know how good Clay was because Buford was rarely challenged.
