Playoff drama
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Blogging about football in the Big G.
Central Gwinnett’s comeback win over Collins Hill undoubtedly was the most exciting playoff game involving Gwinnett teams.
With five second-round games on tap, I think Brookwood-Marietta has a chance to be the best. It pits the undefeated Broncos against the 10-1 Blue Devils. Brookwood is ranked No. 2, Marietta No. 9.
Which game do you think will be the most compelling?

Yes, I agree but do not forget about Northside WR vs. Thomas Co. Central and Camden vs. Valdosta.

I agree that this Marietta game should definitely be more of challenge than most of Brookwood’s games. Marietta is a very good team. My prediction: Brookwood wins 35-21. I wish Camden was playing Valdosta with Valdosta being 100% healthy, not saying Camden wouldn’t still win, but would be a closer game. There are other games that will be definitely be interesting: Northside WR-Thomas Co. Central (two historically solid teams; they aren’t in AAAAA, but everyone knows of these two powers) and also Parkview-Roswell (both are 9-2, but I have to go with our nemesis: Parkview).

Any match up other than Valdosta vs Camden. Camden will have their way. Then await the winner of the Dacula vs Kell. Another ATL area victim coming to the Den for what we have to offer, which is disappointment. Look forward to the Head in Hand Ride Home…Feel me..

Before I answer the question, let me first doff the cap to Region 8, who went 3-1, and Region 5, who emerged with a similar record after the first round. My theory on how Kell upended South Cobb is quite scientific and without fault - you mess with a Longhorn this time of year, you get the ‘Horns!!!
Brookwood and Dacula get stiffer challenges, but emerge easily enough. Thus the other two contests prove more compelling. Roswell is out to avenge last season’s 41-6 thrashing, and this year they face a weakened Parkview team. Having said that, can anyone say with a straight face they like a N. Fulton team over a still vibrant Panther squad (the only exception was an extremely talented ‘Hooch team that almost upended Parkview two years ago and by all rights easily could have won that game).
Central won its first playoff game in years, congrats to them. Walton lost way too much to look anything like last year’s semi-final team, except for their huge upset of region champ Harrison. Two good, but not great teams go head to head, and I like the Raiders in this one.

Parkviews biggest weakness is their QB. If they had Brookwoods QB, they would be undefeated without question. Parkview fans get used to it though. He’s only a junior, so you will have another year of slow and non-moblie QB. I do think they will make it until the Semi-Finals and meet Lowndes and then it’s over.

Sorry John, but I don’t see Parkview getting by Roswell. They too have a star studded running back in Randell Bell and his name will be ringing in the ears of Parkview’s defense for not being able to stop him. Roswell will be the sleeper team to advance into the playoff finals.
By John

I don’t think so KCB. Parkview and Brookwood without question probably have the best two running backs in the state. When Pakview played Brookwood, they didn’t shut Cameron down but they did a great job in containing him. If there is a major strentgh that Park does have, it’s their defense and the ability to shut down the run. I really would be surprised if Parkview doesn’t stop Randell Bell. Parkview has too much experience and discipline to be beaten by a sleeper. The only way Parkview will be beat is by the play of their QB Witt.

Hey Bronco Fan, Camden played Valdosta in August and Valdosta was 100% but the game wasn’t very competitive until Camden started playing JV players. The game didn’t count but we used it as a measuring stick for future competition. Don’t feel sorry for Valdosta, when they come to the Den we will give them the same treatment as everyone else. I bet you hope we lose so Brookwood won’t have to deal with us huh.

Parkview and Roswell game will be a nail-biter, both have terrific running backs and strong O lines. Parkview has the edge on defense and Parkview QB Witt is looking great with about 7 rushing TDs and about the same passing. I think Parkview should pass more to set up the run and vice-versa. I think Panther fans will love our new digs in Hornet Land.

I want Camden to win so they will meet Brookwood and there will be no excuses, as we’ve been hearing all year from other teams we’ve beat up on. I don’t like to comment on whom we are going to beat, but rather let the players and coaches handle it. But u Camden fans seem to be good sports, so it’s all good.

We have to work hard to get where we are and don’t rely on out of state transfers to pull us through. We will show you Atlanta metro fans how football is really played. Cameron Smith……Overrated.

I find it somewhat humerous that Tim is calling Brookwood “overrated”. Camden is a very good team, and they will be in the semis with Brookwood. Whoever wins that game has a very good chance of winning State, even against a very strong Lowndes team.
To call Brookwood overrated - especially coming from a Camden supporter - is a joke. Camden plays an easy schedule. Everyone knows that. That is not to say they are not a great team. And I’m quite sure that no one at Camden enjoys playing in a cupcake region. I’m not going to call Camden “overrated”, since they aren’t, and they are a good team. On the other hand, they have yet to prove themselves, so there is an argument to be made.
Brookwood has not just won against, but dominated 5 teams that have made it to the second round of the playoffs. That’s 5/16 teams, while totally dismanatling two other playoff teams. They are battle tested and proven. I don’t see how you can call them overrated when they have probably played the hardest schedule in the state and won with style.
Oh, and I wouldn’t make a fool of yourself calling Brookwood, and the metro atlanta schools in general, “yuppy rich boys.” At least they get higher than 967 average on the SAT (far below the Georgia average, which is the worst in the nation) and don’t have more than a quarter of their students fail the science portion of the GHSGT.

Look at the teams that Camden has played all year and especially the ones they have beat and are/were in the playoffs. Not a one of those teams had a winning record! Not one! When it comes time to play a Brookwood team that is as loaded as any I’ve ever seen, you will see the State Championship game played in the Dome this year and Brookwood will win by 15 points. Camden Co. quality of opponent (lack therof) will be their undoing this year.

I have seen both Brookwood and Camden Co. in football games this year. There is no doubt that neither team is overrated. Camden’s region is a soft one but they are still a very strong force to deal with. Brookwood has played more quality teams and have beaten them soundly. It appears that these teams will probably meet in the Ga. Dome this year. Based on what I have seen from both teams, Camden has more team speed overall and has huge line (surprise)to match up with Brookwood. I think the game will be close but Camden will prevail. As much as I like Brookwood, Camden is a slightly better team overall.

Ron c, are you kidding me??? Beat up on Parkview last year? The only reason Camden won that football game is because of a bad mistake made by the punter by not kicking the football out of the end zone rather than trying to recover it. Camden was getting beat and they shouldv’e been beat. Who ended up in the State Playoffs last year? Parkview was there. Was Camden? I don’t think so. The article Tim wrote about the “yuppy rich boys” is rediculous. I agree with Jay. Maybe the another reason the “Atlanta metro teams” are so good is not only because of talent but also because they are smart and make adjustments based on their problem solving skills. Us metro schools here up North do not contribute to the SAT results that Georgia has unfortunatley been associated with. Go Brookwood!

Every year people say that Camden County is over rated because of their schedule. Their schedule is fairly weak but in the playoffs we continue to dominate this so called tough competition from all over the state of Ga. We cant help who we play, we dont make the schedule. You can put us in any regoin in the state of Ga.and we would still win 9 to 10 games in the regular season.
I talked with several Newnan fans this past week at the playoff game between Camden and Newnan and most of them said DAM, they were speechless. This one guy said that he watches highschool football games all over the state of GA. and he has never seen so much speed on the defensive side of the ball. He said the only team that can beat Camden is Camden. If they don’t beat themselves they should win the state title. However, he did say Brookwood looks good and would be a challenge.

CHUCK,
I was at that Parkview- Camden game last year in the Dome. It was a tough game, but if your saying that Parkview played better, please. It was a defensive game and we just got a break with the fumble and took advantage of it. Our QB all but gift wrapped the game for you guys with his turnovers but you didnt take advantage of them. We moved the ball on Parkview all day but our turnovers kept you guys in the game, and your turnover lost it for you.

So your proud to finish in second place. No one will ever remember a team that finished in second or third place. Camden had a great season last year but we didnt finish the job, so the season was a lost cause as far as Camden fans are concerned. Lowndes played a great game, they beat us down , no excuses. NOW, ask and Lowndes and Valdosta who beat them down the year before that to win the state title. Survey says CAMDEN COUNTY. But lets not talk about the past , the time is now, see ya in the Dome.

John, “Parkview couldn’t stop Cameron Smith but did a great job of containing him…” Huh? Parkview didn’t do anything great against Brookwood. I don’t see a team that truely struggled against the Grayson Rams getting much farther than the Sweet 16. Parkview gets whooped by Roswell (@ Roswell) Brookwood, however, rolls past Marietta, and then on to State (another close one vs Camden in the Dome)

Hey Dark Horse…. If you think Roswell is going to beat Parkview, you are crazy. It’s obvious you are a Brookwood fan. Just because your hate for Parkview is personal, dosen’t mean that Roswell is better. You better check who’s beat Brookwood for the last 3 years bud. Parkview. I do agree that Parkview is not as dominate or as strong as they’ve been in the past however.

Camden has gotten better because of the influx of navy famlies comming into the area. To avoid this problem of who is the best, who plays the weakest schedule we should. 1. Whoever wins the state title will play all their games at their home the next year. 2. The other top ten teams at the end of the year will travel to the winners house. 3. This will ensure the champs are playing a tough schedule.

No one must realize how GOOD the Dacula Falcons are. These boys are on a mission to win state and I think they will. Their defense is the best in Gwinnett Co., possibly the state. You don’t get 5 shutouts with being pretty darn good on defense. Their offense is very explosive as well. With a solid running game in Cheek and Brodie and recievers that can catch anything that is thrown to them, and a quaterback that has great awareness, a heck of an arm, and a magician when he gets in the open field, everyone is gonna be quite suprised when they see Dacula in the State Championship. GO FALCONS!!!!!

The comment that the Camden program got better because of the navy’s influx is a bit misleading. Although the program got deeper and has more participation because of the Navy’s presence, we have not fielded many blue chip players from the navy base either Navy family or civilian. In fact I work at the base and only a handful of players are coming from the workforces families. The majority of talent still comes from the homegrown longtime Camden residents especially the northern part of Camden County. What about influx in the metro areas. Geeze I guess Atlanta has not grown lately.

I’m from the north end of the county Springbluff to be exact. Now for Howard, I guess some how you from the way Tim express himself about Camden, some how brings you to compare the two of us. You should know by now how we feel about our beloved Wildcats. I’m sure there are lots other Alumni, fans of other teams that feel as we do. I’m looking forward to the challange of any school from the ATL area, I just hope sometime the Brookwood’s and the Parkview’s would travel to Laurel Island Parkway Exit off 95 south. We are very proud and very supportive of the Camden Wildcats that all. A little trash talk is always fun, if it’s respectable. Go Camden, bring the championship to new title town down south.

Everyone has good points on here. I have seen both Brookwood and Camden play this year also. They are both good teams. Some one talked about strengh of schedule, Camden can’t help who they play. What do most good teams do to weak teams, destroy them. That’s exactly what Camden did. So that schedule crap does not hold up. There are good team in the AAAAA playoff, Ducula, Lowdnes, Marietta, Parkview,Stephenson, but if you check the stats Camden has 6 shut outs, and the best defense in the states if not one of the best, check the stats. And until someone beats them, the state polls say they are the best team in the state, ranked #1 in the stats. Last year Lowdnes had the best D in the state and won the championship, this year Camden has the best D. U do the math.

To the idiot Camden fan who called Brookwood and Cameron Smith “Overrated”: You worked hard to get where you are? Where are you? Oh wait, you’re #1 in a region that is a joke without breaking a sweat. That’s an accomplishment. Don’t be bitter the best running back in the state got smart and came to a team where he could run for 2,000 yds and have something to show for it. Calling an undefeated Region 8 team overrated is what is “SO ridiculous”. Maybe since our boys are “rich yuppies” we can give you a loan so you can buy a clue. See you in the Dome!

Yeah Camden can’t help who they play but you’re telling me if you have two teams of equal talent, one had an easy schedule and one had a tougher schedule the one with the easier schedule should be ranked higher?

Once again Camden can’t help who they play in the regular season. But when the playoffs start we take on all comers and do very well. Every year in the playoffs Camden beats good teams from all over the state of Ga but all everyone wants to say is that we dont play anyone. You don’t make it to the State Semi Finals and Finals 3 straight years without playing anyone, not many teams can say that. Also, much respect goes to Lowndes Co. they have a very good team and they are the defending state champs.
To sum it all up Jenn, Brookwood has a great team also but don’t sleep on our Wildcats, we are very much deserving of that #1 state ranking, we have earned it.

Everything seems to be shaping up, its going to be intersting. Brookwood Rules!!!! I’m a grad of Brookwood but I have to be honest because I’m a TRUE football fan. Every Friday night its seems like I’m in a different town watching all the great teams play like Lowndes, Parkview, Camden, Stephenson, Dacula, and of course Brookwood. I think Lowndes County is still the team to beat, they are great on both sides of the ball. Stephenson probably has the most talent, man are they fast. But Camden County scares me the most, people say they don’t play anyone and yes I was one of these people until I saw them play against Walton and Newnan. Camden is excellent, that Wing-T offense is something to see. It’s going to be fun in the Dome. GO BROOKWOOD!!!!!!!!!!

Yes Camden beat Lowndes 7-0 & 21-14 in ‘03. Two close calls. Lowndes 42-0 over Camden is not living in the past. That is the nightmare in Camden’s future should they make it to the finals. Camden wants Lowndes so bad for embarrassing them in front of the whole state last year. Camden never sees the final though. Brookwood will see to that, or maybe even Dacula.

Powbeech,
I like Lowndes, but saying that they will beat Camden again in a rout is crazy. The problem with Camden last year was that slowwwwwwww QB that they had. Watching him run that Wing-T offense was like watching grass grow and Lowndes took advantage of it like a good team should have. But this year they have a QB that is 100% better. It will be a good game should they play not a blow out. Whoever make the least amount of mistakes will win, two great teams.
You should not over look Stephenson and Parkview though, they may have something to say about Lowndes even making the finals. And Camden has to get by Dacula and Brookwood.

You must be a die hard Lowndes Vikings fan, which is fine because I love the Camden Wildcats to. But I think your a little to confident because Parkview and Stephenson have good teams and you might not even make it to the finals. Camden has a tough road to the finals also Dacula and Brookwood. I would never say that Camden is going to blow out any of the great teams left in the playoffs. Your confidence in Lowndes Co is going to be chalk board material for some team. Believing in your team is one thing but predicting in a stupid way is another. May the best teams win. Good luck to all and lets pray that all the kids finish the season without any injuries.

Brookwood Fan, Camden’s QB was good enough for their 1st 13 games last year. Lowndes made him and the whole team look slow. 2005 Camden football looks unfortunately all too similar to 2004.

We be comin,
Dacula, get ready for that long ride down south, then you have to deal with the Mighty Wildcats of Camden. Are you ready, already, don’t fret. I am looking forward to another ATL area school that will be taking the Head in Hand ride home. The miserable journey back north after a lost. That ride gets even longer after a defeat. I will be in the dome come Thanksgiving weekend. All on the chat line should come to the 50 and represent their schools. Then we will have faces to all these aerial sound bites. Powbeech, D-nice, Howard, Tipp Smooth, Brookwood Fan, and the others.

I love how the classy Blue Devils tried to take Cameron Smith out with seconds left in the game. What people fail to realize is Brookwood would be great even without him. We got our points by excellent special teams and the best defense in Gwinnett County. Who made up this bracket system? We are 12-0 and Starr’s Mill is 10-2 and we have to go there???

Hey you guys have forgot about the defending state champions. Lowndes defeated Camdon last by 30 points. If it is Brookwood in the championship game Lowndes will show up and play.

Just heard the game has been changed to Saturday, I wonder why. Is it because the 5 to 6
hour drive, and then having to deal with Camden is a bit much for any team. Camden succeeded
during their run at the championship in 2003. Another school from the ATL area catching a break
from the rigorous road trip during playoff time. If Dacula would have done what was necessary, they
wouldn’t have to travel. Same goes for the Brookwood’s and Parkview’s also. Lowndes and Camden
will ensure the title game will be played down in south GA. Why is it that the semi’s aren’t played
at a neutral site. The venure is good, but who benefits, teams traveling 20 to 30 minutes or
teams from down south that are undefeated traveling to the Dome. Things that make me say ummm. Camden over Dacula, next victim Brookwood.

I have to agree with Jenn on the bracket issue. Why with Brookwood ranked #2 in the state coming in to the playoffs, are they seeded below Starr’s Mill. In fact the same could be said for Lowndes having to play at Central, and Stephenson at Parkview. Also with Brookwood ranked #2 they should have been in the bracket oppostie Camdon Co. so they would meet in the state championship. With this screwed up bracket the real state championship will be in the finals. No one in their right mind can say that Camdon Co. or Lowndes do not have great football teams this year, but they have played week schedules. And even with the week schedule Ware Co. soundly beat Lowndes, and Camdon struggled a bit with Valdasta. Brookwood has been battle tested having already beaten four of the eight teams remaining in the playoffs, and at least doubling the score on all of them. As Jenn said the Brookwood team is not just Cameron Smith (although he certainly helps) they have a host of other big contributers in the backfield and a very balanced attack. Also, the defence and special team units are some of the best I’ve seen.

Brookwood and Camden fans are counting their eggs before they hatch. The schools that they are playing in the semifinals did not just skipp into the playoffs. They are hard working programs that have enough ability and heart to send you fans home in a daze. I smell an upset before the championship!
