Season Going smoothly

Just as i thought the season has the teams that I thought woul make it, save one or two. Who would have thught that after 15 years The Parkviw Panthers would not make the playoffs. Cecil flowe has made the playoffs in every year he has coachsd. They had a few injuries this year causing the mighty Panthers not to go to the dance but with them out, let's another team in. This year it's the Dacula Falcons and South Gwinnett Comets. South went 4-6 last year and this year finished an astounding 9-1. They have some great athletes and with a great quarterback like Kent Rollins this team could go deep into the playoffs. Maloof's Falcons finished as the 3-seed and could be poised to make a run. Brookwood gets a rematch with McEachern and after the 32-32 drubbing in the Corky Kell, it wouldn't surprise me if the Bronco's win a game or two. Grayson, well nuff said. They are strong on defense and still have Ean "Pinball" Pemberton and of course two new faces in Jones and Frank Bebbs.
That brings me to region 7-AAAAA. The Norcross Blue Devils fell short with a loss earlier to North Forysth but the top 3 could all be around come final four time. In fact, if it plays out hte way I think it will it could be an all Gwinnett Final Four and Championship. North Gwinnett, Peachtree Ridge and Collins Hill have 4 losses all year in 30 games. Collins Hill went 8-2 and should have been 9-1. Even t 9-1 they would have finished as the number 3 seed in the region. Imagine one loss and finishing third. That tells you how strong this area is.
Then we go to AA and A with two teams with the same nickname. The Wolves of Wesleyan are on a 22-game win streak and Buford has won 39 out of 40. In fact the one loss earlier this year to Lovett, I think will make them stroner. They now know what it tastes like to have a loss and I don't think they liked it. I am predicting 3 state titles in football this year. Wesleyan should repeat as does Buford and then I feel it coul be either GRayson or North Gwinnett. South and Peachtree Ridge also cold make a deep run. But don't count out Collins Hill. And even though Brookwood went 5-5 this is a new season. don't count out experience. Coach Crews will have his team ready and with a back like Julian Suber this team could surprise you. At any rate, the season went smooth and look forward to round bacll. But let's hope the gridiron plays at least 5 more weeks.
