CLASS AAAA STORYLINES
 

Beneath the surface of Week 4 storylines

The two most talked about games in Class AAAA this weekend will feature the classification's top ranked teams. No. 1 Cartersville hosts Westlake in arguably the top Week 4 game in the state, and No. 2 Thomson takes a trip to Class AAA No. 1 Pace Academy in another must-see matchup  PREVIEW HERE. Both match ups offer validity to their already impressive resumes. However, there are four other interesting storylines developing in Class AAAA this Friday that we should all keep an eye on.
Spalding vs. Lovejoy :  Spalding returns to Memorial Stadium for the first time since a dramatic turnaround produced a 10-2 season a year ago. From 2004-2014, the school had posted just one winning season. After a 53-50 loss to Griffin to start this season, Spalding pitched a 22-0 shutout at Jonesboro the following week. Now, head coach Nick Davis host Lovejoy in the two programs' first-ever meeting. Spalding will rely on senior running back Askia Moses, who opened the season with 166 rushing yards and three touchdowns against Griffin. Class AAAAAA Lovejoy is coming off a 24-21 loss to Stockbridge and is 1-2 on the season.
St. Pius at Marist:  Marist awaits long-time rival St. Pius in what will mark the school's 51st all-time meeting. Marist holds a 30-17-3 edge in the all-time series, but the War Eagles have lost four straight to St. Pius and will be looking to reverse the trend. St. Pius continues to search for positive momentum as its difficult schedule continues. The Golden Lions are 0-2 and fell flat in a 21-7 loss to Benedictine last week. St. Pius started 0-2 last year also, before using a 10-game winning streak to reach the quarterfinals where Bainbridge held on to an 18-17 victory.
Northwest Whitfield  vs. Model: Northwest Whitfield hosts a red-hot Model team out of Class AA in its final non-region game. After scoring 103 points in wins over Ringgold (49-24) and South Atlanta (54-7), Northwest Whitfield struggled offensively last Friday as Dalton held on to a 10-3 victory. The Bruins will look to regain that rhythm against Model, which opened the year with a 22-0 win at Sonoraville and dominated Adairsville 51-21 last Friday. Northwest Whitfield will have to slow down Model quarterback and middle linebacker Kyler Edlridge. The senior is averaging 122 yards per game through the air and has already rushed for six touchdowns. Defensively, he has a team-high eight solo tackles to go with his Blue Devil-high 3.5 tackles for a loss.
Oconee County  vs. Morgan County: Oconee County hosts Class AAA Morgan County with a chance to move to 3-0. Head coach Travis Noland has three more non-region games before his Warriors take on a talented Region 8 field that includes North Oconee, St. Pius, Madison County, Jefferson and Stephens County- where he coached for nine seasons (2005-2013). The Warriors are yet to be challenged with a 24-point win over Clarke Central and a 29-point win at Walnut Grove, but Morgan County is coming off a 23-13 win over North Oconee, which is Oconee County's first region opponent this season. While we all know common opponents offers no guaranteed formula to predict future outcomes, a solid win over Morgan County this Friday would add momentum as Oconee County gets set to not only battle playoff spot, but contend for the Region 8 title later this season.

COACH OF THE WEEK
 

Harrison's Dickmann named Falcons Coach of the Week

Presented by Ford, the Atlanta Falcons Coach of the Week program recognizes 12 high school football coaches across the state of Georgia for their hard work and dedication to making a difference in student-athletes lives on and off the field over the course of the GHSA season.
The second winner of the 2016 season is Matt Dickmann of Harrison High School. Known for building programs, the 52-year old is in his 30thyear coaching and fourth at Harrison. Dickmann joined the Hoyas in 2013 following an eight year run at Seminole Ridge, FL were he transformed an 0-9 team with no senior class into a perennial power, recording a 53-26 mark with five state playoff berths and three district championships in his final three seasons.
After three seasons of finishing 5-5, Dickmann and Harrison are off to their best start in eight years at 3-0, the Hoyas currently ranked No. 6 in Class AAAAAA.
Slow and Steady wins the Race
Rome wasn't built in a day. It has taken some time, but Dickmann has started to steer Harrison in the right direction.
"It was a lot tougher probably to come here and change a program than it was to start from scratch and build a program, but because of this community and administration and booster club, they really wanted to do everything they could to help get this program back on track," explained Dickmann.
Dickmann's leadership has been honored before, winning Coach of the Year from the Miami Dolphins, but the recognition from the Falcons is something he cherishes.
"It's always an honor to receive something like that from the community, he said. "The biggest thing with me though, is that's a reflection on what our staff has done. How our booster club has helped us, how the administration has helped us hire people that are great teachers, great coaches and great people. If you don't have all those people behind the scenes doing that, you really can't get awards like this."
Off the field, Dickmann and his coaching staff implements community services days.
"We've been very involved with our junior program, putting on clinics and camps. Just anything we can do to help in the community we are willing to do, because I believe you always have to pay it forward. It's you area here, your community, you give back as much as you can."
