Woodstock still the longshot - 333-1 to be exact
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
What are the chances that your team will win state? Got that for you right here.
I’m expecting heavy action on those 10-to-1 odds for Newnan. Here’s a deal for you: Grayson at 15-to-1! But don’t be a sucker.
These were calculated by my estimation of each team’s chances of advancing each round, then doing the math.
The longest odds belong to Woodstock at 333-to-1. But the good news is that Mike O’Brien is 3-to-1 to be named coach of the year in Class AAAAA.
While we’re at it, who are your choices for coach of the year in each class? If I were picking today, I’d go with …
AAAAA - Mike O’Brien (Woodstock)
AAAA - Robert Davis (Westside)
AAA - Rick Hurst (Eastside)
AA - Maurice Freeman (Brooks County)
A - Miller County (Frank Killingsworth)
But the coach who wins state, unless he comes from Lowndes, Buford or ECI, will be hard to ignore in three weeks.
Now to what you’ve been waiting for.
