WEEK 6 TOP GAMES

Top-tier matchups in higher classes often overshadow games with historic meanings in lower classifications. This week, with titans like Colquitt County and Grayson clashing in front of Georgia Public Broadcasting’s cameras, the fact that a coastal rivalry that’s over 100-years old is taking place in Savannah might be lost in the shadows.

The outcome of the game might not be a close one. In fact, it is liable to be a blowout in favor of Class AAA No. 7 Benedictine. But the history of the matchup is intriguing. Benedictine (2-1, 1-0) holds the slim margin with 47 victories. Savannah (0-3, 0-1) has 45 victories. The teams have tied six times.

Savannah won the inaugural game on Nov. 13, 1908 with an 11-0 victory according to the Georgia High School Football Historians Association. The Titanic would not be ordered until four months later. Benedictine’s first victory in the series came on Nov. 10, 1910 under coach John Scott. Joe Taylor was at the helm of the Savannah team at the time.

The longest winning-streak in the series is seven games, for either side.

Savannah put together the first streak under head coaches John “Vic” Mell (1964-68), Michael Coburn (1969) and Jim Walsh, Sr. (1970). Walsh’s first year was the last victory in the Savannah winning-streak and in his second season, he won the first of what would become Benedictine’s first seven-game winning-streak. Walsh was the first sole Benedictine coach to win seven-straight against Savannah. Cadet coach Tom Bracket (1996-2002) matched Walsh’s streak before Savannah won in 2003 (15-7). Benedictine, which moved up to AAA this season, opened with a 23-22 victory against Burke County before losing to Class AAAA Blessed Trinity 38-7. Benedictine has won the past four meetings since Savannah’s 15-7 victory in 2003.

Class AAAAAAA – No. 7 Milton (3-1) at No. 4 Parkview (3-0) –

Parkview might be the higher-ranked team, but the Panthers know the threat posed by Milton quarterback Jordan Yates. The dual-threat Georgia Tech commit has led Milton past Archer (21-19), Alpharetta (37-27), Cardinal Gibbons (FL)(42-17) before losing to Roswell (22-20) last week. Yates has 768 yards of offense and seven combined touchdowns. Yates’ strength is avoiding trouble to extend plays and throwing on the move. Jordan Davis and Joshua Edwards also pose threats on the ground and have combined for 512 yards and seven touchdowns. Receivers Jordan Cox (12-for-297, three touchdowns) and Holden Shaw (14-for-113, two touchdowns) are Yates’ main targets. Parkview, however, features offensive threats like junior quarterback Jordan Williams (40-for-56 for 584 yards, five touchdowns) and three-star commit Malik Washington (548 yards offense, six touchdowns). The Panthers have victories over Mountain View (42-6), Lowndes (39-27) and Tift County (31-28) this season.

Class AAAAAAA – No. 1 Colquitt County (5-0) at No. 3 Grayson (3-1)

It has been since the 2016 AAAAAAA quarterfinals since the two programs have met. Grayson walked away with the victory (49-21) and now Colquitt feels it is time to repay the favor under the lights of GPB’s cameras. The programs have split the four games played since 2010. The Colquitt offense is balanced and is averaging 202 yards rushing and 170 yards passing. Grayson’s J’Kori Jones has passed for 688 yards with 101 rushing yards. On defense, linebacker Owen Pappoe, an Auburn commit, leads his team with 26 solos and five tackles for loss.

This will be Christian Hunnicutt’s first-ever look at Colquitt County. Rush Propst has been at the helm each time the Packers have faced Grayson. Mickey Conn coached Grayson to its only victory over Colquitt (2011, 35-31).

Class AAAAA No. 6 Warner Robins (3-1) at Class AAAAAA No. 7 Northside-Warner Robins (3-2)

The programs have met 60 times with Warner Robins holding the 35-25 margin in the series that dates to 1964. For those unfamiliar, these two programs share a stadium in Warner Robins, but the rivalry is anything but friendly. It could be argues that this is one of the biggest rivalries in the state. Warner Robins got its first victory since 2013 when it beat Northside 28-17 last season. Northside, however, has won 15 of the last 20 matchups. Warner Robins is led by quarterback Dylan Fromm, Jake’s younger brother. He is 79-of-136 passing for 1,233 yards and 10 touchdowns. Fromm going against Northside safety Kentrez Anthony (three interceptions in the past two games) could be interesting to watch. Northside also features a quality quarterback in senior Jadin Daniels. Daniels has seven passing and six rushing touchdowns.

Class AAAA – Chapel Hill (4-0, 0-0) at No. 4 Troup (4-0, 0-0)

In the Class AAAA Region 5 opener, two undefeated programs will test their mettle as Chapel Hill looks for its first-ever victory over Troup on the road. The two teams have met just twice, in the past two seasons, with Troup taking both victories – 42-21 in 2016 and 48-12 last year. Chapel Hill’s defense has been solid this year allowing just 33 points through four games, including a 28-0 shutout of Ola. Troup’s offense, led by Auburn commitment Kobe Hudson, could be Chapel Hill’s toughest test yet. The Tigers have scored at least 30 points in each of their four victories including a 32-0 shutout of Ridgeland in their opener. Hudson, a four-star recruit, is a 6-foot-1, 186-pound playmaker who rose to stardom as a receiver. This year, he’s showing off his skills as a quarterback also, following Montez Crowe’s graduation.
