TOP GAMES: WEEK 11

Teams across the state are vying several things in the final weeks of the regular season. Some programs are looking to repeat as region champions whereas other teams are just hoping for a shot at a playoff berth. This week we take a glance at five games worth following.

Colquitt County at Tift County

The game, which will decide the region front-runner, pits the two remaining undefeated programs in the four-team region. Colquitt, the state runner-up, defeated Camden County 38-9 last week. Last week, Tift’s victory over Lowndes, fueled by three long touchdown passes from Patrick Felton to Tyler Ajiero, left it tied with Colquitt as the front-runners

in Region 1.

Colquitt, which features a balanced attack, averages 177 receiving yards to 194 passing yards per game. Jaycee Harden is 82-of-139 passing for 1,274 yards and 14 touchdowns. Daijun Edwards, who has rushed for 14 touchdowns, leads all rushers with 779 yards on 122 touches. Ty Leggett adds seven touchdowns and 507 yards on 72 carries.

Tift’s Ajiero has caught 30 passes for 600 yards and seven touchdowns this year. Mike Jones leads the Blue Devils in rushing with 862 yards on 158 carries and 10 touchdowns. Danny Hill and Felton each have rushed for four touchdowns.

Lanier at Dacula

To the victor, goes the region title. Lanier is led by Texas A&M commitment Zach Calzada, who has recovered from the injury suffered in the game against Central Gwinnett on Aug. 24. He has passed for 1,076 yards and 11 touchdowns on 70-of-126 passing. Dacula is led by Jarrett Jenkins who’s passed for 12 touchdowns and 1,270 yards on 95-of-147 passing.

Lanier’s two losses this year came to Central Gwinnett and Alpharetta in back-to-back weeks. Dacula also lost in the same back-to-back weeks to Mill Creek and Mountain View. Dacula is coming off a 49-7 victory over Habersham Central. Lanier is fresh off a 21-3 shutdown of Apalachee last week.

Marist at Blessed Trinity

This storied, yet new rivalry, will add another installment on Friday and, again, it will decide the region champion. Last year the game was a preview of the AAAA state title matchup. The teams split contests last year with Marist taking the regular-season victory 25-24. Blessed Trinity enacted revenge in the best of ways, however, with a 16-7 victory in the state championship game. It goes without saying that this game will feature playoff-caliber football.

In the series, Blessed Trinity has the edge (2-1) after taking a 28-26 victory in the inaugural meeting in 2016 before the two games last year. Marist’s one loss came at the hands of No. 4 St. Pius but since entering region play the War Eagles have been flawless.

Southwest-DeKalb vs. Arabia Mountain

The programs have met on four previous occasions since 2012 and Arabia Mountain holds the 3-1 margin in the series. This year’s game will decide the front-runner of Region 5 as both teams are 3-0 and the only undefeated teams left.

THURSDAY SCORES

On the football field, the Tucker Tigers soundly defeated Mt. Zion-Jonesboro 57-0 to picked up their sixth region win of the season. They remain undefeated in class AAAAAA region 4. The Newton Rams put up a 20-point first-half performance while shutting out Shiloh to create a comfortable lead. The Generals reached the end zone twice in the second half but were unable to collect enough points to overtake the lead. Clarke Central’s Isaac Ward started off the Gladiators game against Johnson-Gainesville with an unusual play, catching his own pass for a 63-yard score. Ward struck again in the second quarter with a 44-yard pass to Sophomore Jarius Mack before O’Brien Barnett punched one in from four yards out to continue the scoring spree. With one second left on the clock, Ward connected with Junior Jordan Hill on a 42-yard touchdown to take a commanding 27-0 lead at the half. The Gladiators continued to roll in the second half with two rushing touchdowns from Zyon Rushad and Tyrek Lumpkin, along with a defense score from Kevin Gresham and an end-of-game 48-yard score from Quay Teasley.

On the softball diamond, class AAAAAAA defending champs East Coweta narrowly defeated Grayson 2-1 to advance to the next round where they’ll face off tomorrow against Mill Creek. Class AAAAAA defending champs Allatoona soundly defeated Houston County 9-2 to advance to the second round. The two have gone head-to-head three times already this season, with Allatoona getting strong wins with scores of 14-1 and 6-2. Dalton claimed the last game though, holding the Buccaneers to just three runs while putting up six. After advancing all the way to last year’s class AAAA finals, Northside-Columbus was on the wrong end of a close 7-6 game against Heritage-Catoosa to send the Patriots to the loser’s bracket.
