Experienced Roswell No. 1 in AAAAA
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Peach County, Charlton County and Lincoln County successfully defended state titles last season, but I’m predicting the end of the line for all three. Too much talent graduated.
Who’ll stop the reign? My No. 1 teams in AAA, AA and A are Hart County, Buford and Wilcox County (read the complete story here).
I feel solid about Buford. There’s a half-dozen D-1 players and a history of state titles.
Hart and Wilcox have never won state, but both were excellent toward the end of last season and returned everybody they need to win it all.
In AAAAA, Roswell is almost everybody’s choice at No. 1. In AAAA, Northside is the real no-brainer, but there’s no fun in blogging high school football if Northside fans don’t have anything to argue about.
So how about this: Roswell, and not Northside, will have the state’s best team this year.
Here are some other talking points when I return to tonight at 7 for discussion:
*Peach, Charlton, Lincoln: End of the line.
*Buford: Easy No. 1.
*Class AAA and A: Time for first-time state champions.
*Northside: Georgia’s second-best team.
