Region 1-AAAAAA made history this season when its teams combined to go 29-0 in non-region play. However, this week is the opening of league play, when the six teams will begin to turn on each other. Which teams will be the first to fall? I suspect the losers this weekend will be Valdosta (against Camden County), Lowndes (against Colquitt County) and Lee County (vs. Tift County). Go with North Gwinnett to beat Norcross in 7-AAAAAA, and look for Creekside, Allatoona and Dalton to win big games in AAAAA.
