4 questions, including who will win Grayson-Brookwood
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Who wins the Grayson-Brookwood game?
For the record, I have been on the Grayson bandwagon from the start of the season. I also have been one of Brookwood’s biggest doubters. I even picked the Broncos to win less than six games.
But unlike a stubborn coach who continues to run dive plays up the middle with no success, I’m not afraid to make an adjustment.
I’m taking the Broncos, but still believe they’re out in the second round of the playoffs.
Kenny Miles is on top of the MVP race, and coach Mark Crews is my Coach of the Year right now.
Should be a dandy.
What’s your biggest coaching pet peeve?
I do not understand how coaches choose not take a shot at the end zone on the last play before half, even if you’re ahead.
I’ve seen it several times in high school games this season, where coaches elect to allow the clock to run out rather than throw a Hail Mary. I realize high school quarterbacks might lack the arm strength to attempt a deep ball from anywhere beyond midfield. But doesn’t tossing one deep have more potential of getting lucky than kneeling down?
I don’t buy the fear of an interception being returned for a score, either. How many successful Hail Mary’s have you seen? Now, how many have you seen intercepted and returned for touchdowns?
Whose offense is worse: Georgia’s or Georgia Tech’s?
At first glance, I would have said the Yellow Jackets are much worse. But there’s really not much difference between the two.
Georgia is tied for 55th in the nation in total offense, averaging 28.14 points per game.
Georgia Tech is 57th, averaging 28.13 points.
Still, I’ll take Stafford over Bennett any day.
Am I the worst high school fantasy football player ever?
Yes.
Am I still giving it 110 percent? Absolutely.
Am I Meadowcreek? Only time will tell.

Want to prove yourself worthy of taking on staff writers David Purdum and Kurt Aschermann, as well as 680 The Fan’s Play-by-Play voice Karl Werl in a game of high school fantasy football?
Post your team —- 1 QB, 2 RBs, 2 WR, 1 defensive team —- on Purdum’s blog on ajc.com/sports/content/sports/highschool before 2 p.m. Thursday. (Look for the cool-looking bald guy on the left side of the page to find the blog.)
Feel free to e-mail your team to dpurdum@ajc.com or kaschermann@ajc.com as well.
You can use any combination of players from across the state, while Aschermann and Purdum will use only Gwinnett County players. Because, as everyone knows, Gwinnett plays the best brand of football.
One reader-submitted team will be selected each week based on the creativity of the team name. That selected team will be posted on Friday’s blog and in the Gwinnett News, along with Aschermann’s and Purdum’s teams.
If that reader’s team outscores both of the writers’ teams, they will receive a special prize from the wardrobe of Aschermann and Purdum.
