DEL.ICIO.USGwinnett vs. the State Fantasy Results; Gwinnett Power Rankings
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Good opening week … I was surprised that Central was able to run all over Dacula, but not necessarily shocked about the Black Knights’ convincing victory.
Dacula-Mill Creek should be a lot more interesting than it was last season, when the Falcons pasted the Hawks 34-0.
Nice to see South Gwinnett beat South Forsyth. There’s a little more buzz around South Gwinnett this season and talk of some young talent getting ready to come through coach John Small’s program.
North Gwinnett bounced back, and Brookwood showed more promise than I expected. Even with Brookwood’s loss to No. 1 Roswell and North’s win over Walton, I moved the Broncos above the Bulldogs in this week’s power rankings. Brookwood is at North Gwinnett Friday.

Want to take on Kurt and DP? Post your team— 1 QB, 2 RBs, 2 WR, 1 Defense—on the blog before noon Friday.
You can use any combination of players from across the state, while Kurt and DP will use only Gwinnett County players.
One reader-submitted team will be selected each week based on the creativity of their username. That selected team will be posted on Friday’s blog, along with Kurt and DP’s.
If that reader’s team outscores both Kurt and DP, they will receive a special prize from the closet of Kurt or DP.

Where is Citi Slickers now? He was talking a lot before about Dekalb vs. Gwinnett, but I don’t hear him now.

DP—Congrats!!!! I bet citislickers does not show up and claim the whoopin.
Brookwood—-good coaching. They may just bounce into playoffs. I am still on the Grayson wagon with you, but I have concerns…you might want to check them out this Friday vs. Peachtree Ridge. I also Like Central….Drake the snake can run that rock!!! Good luck picking this week.

Parkview eeks out a win over a .500 ball club from Cobb Co and that impressed someone? Much ado about nothing…Grayson is…well Grayson..small potatoes

T.J. … What’s not to like about Grayson coming from behind against Collins Hill? That said, I’m taking the Ridge on Friday, but I’ll be at Buford.
Fantastic … Parkview stayed put in my rankings and I still believe the Panthers are a better team than last year.
CitiSlicker … They’re calling you out. Where are you?

D.P.-I will take Grayson over Peachtree Ridge by a field goal—-Grayson can kick this year…..hope defense gets better to stop Brandon Davis.
Parkview—will be great this year and next. They started Sophmores last year and it will pay dividends.
Not sure anyone else will compete with you on the Fantasy thing from the rest of the State—-SKURD!
