Football is in full force

Well after a long summer football season arrived and as expected the local teams are well the local teams. Once again, the top teams are the top teams and the bottom teams are the same. Grayson is really good this year. I just love Ean Pemberton. We have called him Pinball for years because he bounces off people like a pinball. The game this week with South Gwinnett should be really exciting. The Comets have a wide open style and have scored 147 in 3 games averaging 49 points per game. They scored 49 in all 3 games. But they haven't come across a defense like that of the Rams. When you got three guys like Shawn Green, Joseph Champaign and Terry Williams, this Rams team could post a lot of shutouts this year. They gave up 1o points to Camden County and zero to both Warner Robins and Dacula. The 10 to Camden were gift points. After a fumble at the 20-yard line Camden kicked a field goal and also earlier had blocked a punt for a touchdown. It would not surprise me if Grayson gave up maybe 20-30 points the entire season. That is if they get by the high octane of South.
Then you have North Gwinnett with there high powered offense led by junior quarterback C.J. Uzomah. What an athlete. My predictions are the Bulldogs and Rams are headed for a battle. However, there is an X factor. They are the Peachtree Ridge Lions. Although they got spanked by Lowndes County, don't count out the Lions. It should be fun down the stretch. Collins Hill, Parkview, Brookwood and even Norcross or Mill Creek could be a spoiler as the year moves on. I am looking forward to the rest of the season. Let me know what you guys think.
