We saw two unbeatens fall on Friday, and we know at least one more local area unbeaten will have a mark in the loss column come next Saturday. Taking a quick look ahead at the Week 5 matchups we're shooting for Gridiron Central and why. Chattooga at Armuchee is our game of the week. Do you... | 4 |

Time sure does fly by. Since my last blog entry (which, unfortunately, was way to long ago). I got married and Gridiron Central picked up its first ever regional Emmy nomination. Its been a pretty exciting few months. Today is particularly exciting, as I will soon be hitting... | 9 |
History doesn't bode well for area basketball teams in state playoffs by npcomaster
Feb 27, 2009 | 0 | 11 |
If previous history is any indication, get ready for baseball season prep fans because local teams usually exit the state basketball playoffs early. Although we see several area teams ranked high in their classifications, rankings mean nothing once the games start. Why so negative? Simple. Of t... | 11 |

With the season now over, it's time to take a look at my final power poll and hand out a few post-season awards. These are my awards and have no hardware to go with them, but they're sure to spark a bit of debate. Without further ado, here is the final standings in my 2008 football power poll. ... | 14 |

After 12 weeks it's time to put the power poll to rest. I'll bring it back once our final team falls in the postseason or raises the title trophy in the Dome. Instead this week, I'll look at the four playoff games on tap this weekend and make a few predictions. Which game is a lock? I hate ... | 14 |

The regular season went out with a bang, some huge games and a couple of big upsets, so here's my take on where the teams stand heading into the playoffs. We'll be back at the end of the playoffs for a final power poll. 1. Calhoun (8-2, No. 3 last week) Big time win last Friday for the Jacket... | 17 |
Week 11 Power Poll by npcomaster

One week away from the final regular season poll. The poll will take a hiatus during the playoffs and then return with our final poll once the season ends for all times. 1. Pepperell (9-0, No. 1 last week) We've been waiting almost all year for Friday night's game against Calhoun, and I can't w... | 16 |

The Cedartown Bulldogs lost to the No. 8 ranked Carrollton Trojans 21-7 last Friday night in the Region 6-AAA, sub-region ‘B’ championship game, but the Bulldogs have nothing to be ashamed of. Cedartown played as hard as they could for 48 minutes and up until the 7:47 mark of the fourth quarte... | 14 |

Before the season started several people – including myself – predicted the Cedartown Bulldogs to have a strong season. Things appeared to start off that way as they whacked Darlington in a scrimmage and downed Rockmart in their annual Polk County rivalry game. But then things went downhill fo... | 11 |
