DEL.ICIO.USSays here, Geaux Tigers
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
One has to wonder now that Fayette County has vanquished all comers in the regular season, how the Tigers will handle having no more payback due. I mean, they’ve never lost to their first-round playoff opponent, Baldwin, and the last time the two teams met was in 1977. Virtually every opponent Fayette has had this fall beat them in 2006, so the blood-boiling motivation of revenge was easy to tap into.
Says here they’d better find it. The No. 4-ranked Braves’ only loss was to Northside-Warner Robins, and they might be the most well-rounded team Fayette has faced. Nonetheless, Fayette has played too well this year to falter in the first round, although the brackets did them no favors with this draw. Geaux with that Tiger, but in a squeaker.
Lovejoy at Whitewater
This battle of Wildcats is a fire vs. ice kind of matchup. Lovejoy’s offensive firepower against Whitewater’s icy defense. Before it let up in the second half against Northgate last week, Whitewater had held eight straight opponents to 14 points or less. After traveling to Macon to take on Westside in a Region 4-AAAA playoff, Lovejoy isn’t apt to be scared by Whitewater. A low-scoring game might favor Whitewater, which had gotten 613 yards and 12 touchdowns from Jonathan Frierson. Lovejoy, on the other hand, has found another gear offensively after losing its first four games.
I’m picking Lovejoy, because the Clayton club has shredded five of its last six opponents. Says here, the Wildcats win.
Sandy Creek at Hart County
Sandy Creek was a hiccup away from finishing first in 6-AAA, which means they have to ride. And ride. And ride some more. And after they get there, says here that Rio Johnson and Braxton Lane will have a field day against the Bulldogs.
