WEEK 3 TOP GAMES

By Seth Ellerbee

The Corky Kell Classic game between Class AAAAA No. 2 Buford (1-0) and Class AAAAAAA No. 10 Milton (1-0), which was postponed by severe weather on August 23 at Coolray Field, will take place at Milton at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The game will be broadcasted on PeachtreeTV.

This will be the first meeting between the programs since 1983 under head coaches Ed Cochran of Buford and Jim Burson of Milton. The Eagles have won each of the four games between two of the state’s most-storied programs.

Milton is coming off a 45-0 victory over Alpharetta in what became its season-opener after the postponement at the Corky Kell. Last week, Buford beat Jonesboro 41-0. So, the offenses are clearly working, as well as the defenses. Over the offseason, Milton spent time preparing for a slightly different style of play after its championship victory over Colquitt County in the AAAAAAA final last season.

“Right now, we are just focused on getting ready to start the season,” said Clack in a Corky Kell preview before the season began. “You’re still really focused on your conditioning and strengths as you’re cementing your foundation, if you will. We are just trying to get this team wrapped around embracing its own identity. Everyone’s going to want to talk about last year and what that team did, and we have players who are returning, but this is a brand-new team and they will succeed on their own laurels.

The fact that we were able to play in some big events last year will help this team going forward. Kind of been there before and we know what the big stage is like, but we have to make sure we take 2019 as 2019.”

Last week, Milton struggled through the air and was just 2-of-7 passing, but the run game was working. It rushed for 402 yards with a 201-yard performance from Ahmad Junearick. The Eagle’s offensive line is anchored by four-star 6-foot-5, 299-pound Clemson-commit Paul Tchio, an offensive guard.

“He wants to be there out front,” Clack said. “He leads by example. To say he has been an integral part of our team’s success would be an understatement.”

Buford’s Bryant Appling now has one victory as a head coach under his belt and, after being the defensive coordinator at Buford for years before he was promoted within the system, he’s prepared for Milton as best as possible, because he has been there before.

“It’s not really that much different,” Appling said. “I say that meaning that we’ve had huge games early in the season. But Milton is a monster to deal with. They’re very versatile and have good players. It is going to be a handful. But I always love to go up against the best early. Going up against a team like Milton, early, it will just benefit your team in the long run, win, lose or draw.”

Last week, Buford’s Jarvis Evans was 8-of-11 passing for 113 yards and three touchdowns. Gabe Ervin rushed for 102 yards.

Class AAA No. 2 Cedar Grove at Class AAAAAAA No. 1 Valor Christian, Colo.

It will be the first-ever meeting between the two defending state champions and second consecutive out-of-state opponent for Cedar Grove. Last year, Valor Christian went undefeated in Ed McCaffrey’s first season as the head coach. You may recognize McCaffrey from his time with the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos. He was a member of three victorious Super Bowl teams – 1994 with the 49ers and 1998-99 with the Broncos. The Eagles opened the season with a 56-6 victory against Charlotte Christian (N.C.) last week. Valor split quarterback duties between Cole Bott and Andrew Reichardt in the first game. Bott was 6-of-9 passing for 120 yards and three touchdowns. Reichardt was 2-of-4 for 27 yards. Sophomore Gavin Sawchuck has rushed for two touchdowns, but junior Andre Wright leads with 12 carries for 119 yards and a touchdown. Senior receiver Kaiden Keefe has two catches, both for touchdowns.

Cedar Grove is coming off a 24-20 loss to Central-Phenix (Ala.), the Class AAAAA defending champions. Central secured the victory on a 9-yard touchdown pass with 28 seconds left in the game. Cedar Grove linebacker Isaiah Ratcliff made 17 tackles with one for loss. Defensive lineman Alvin Williams made eight tackles, two for a loss and had one fumble recovery. Defensive back Antonio Taylor made 10 tackles with a fumble recovery. Running back Chavon Wright finished with 14 carries for 93 yards and a touchdown. Janiran Bonner had six catches for 73 yards and a touchdown. Austin Smith was 12-of-23 passing for 135 yards and a touchdown.

Class AAAA No. 7 Woodward at Class AAAA No. 1 Blessed Trinity

For the third time in the history these AAAA programs, coaches John Hunt of Woodward Academy and Tim McFarlin of Blessed Trinity will meet. This time, Woodward plays host. Blessed Trinity has been victorious in each of the three meetings including a 43-21 victory last season. The Titans won 21-14 in 2012 and 27-17 in 2013. Woodward Academy’s defense through the first two games has been a dramatic improvement from a year ago. The War Eagles have allowed just 3.5 ppg though their first two contests after giving up 27.9 ppg last year. As for Blessed Trinity, the two-time defending state champions carry a 23-game winning streak into the matchup. The Titans have opened the year with a 28-10 win over St. Pius and a 34-31 win over South Forsyth and will challenge the Woodward Academy defense with its dynamic rushing attack. Blessed Trinity is 3-0 in the all-time series with the War Eagles.

Class AAAAAA No. 6 Northside-Warner Robins (1-1) at Class AAAAA No. 6 Jones County (2-0)

Mid-state powers will clash in Jones County on Friday for the ninth meeting between the programs. The teams first met in 1963 where Northside won 12-6. Northside holds a 6-2 edge in the series. Quarterback Hunter Costlow leads Jones County and is 38-of-63 passing for 514 yards in victories over Howard 34-10 and Baldwin 27-0. Northside is coming off a 21-13 loss to Class AAA No. 1 Peach County after beating Centennial 46-13 in the opener. Mason Ford is 18-of-41 passing for 151 yards and leads rushers with 228 yards and a touchdown.

Class AAAAAAA No. 3 Parkview (1-0) at Class AAAAAAA No. 7 Lowndes (2-0)

Parkview won last year’s contest 39-27, its first-ever victory over the Vikings. The teams have met four times, beginning in 2004. Lowndes is coming off a 44-14 victory over Champagnat Catholic (FL) after beating Drew 69-6 in its opener. Parkview beat Mountain View on Aug. 23, 28-18. Lowndes quarterback Jacurri Brown is 8-of-11 passing for 118 yards with 239 rushing yards. Lowndes is led by running back Gary Osby, who also doubles as a linebacker. Osby, a 5-foot-11, 220-pounder, has offers from Army, Air Force and Colorado State to name a few.

THURSDAY NIGHT SCORES

The top-ranked AAAAAAA Walton Raiders defeated AAA No. 2 Pace Academy 3-0 on the road on Thursday to move to 9-3 on the season. Walton won with the first set 25-23, the second set 25-17 and the third set 25-19.

“We played as a complete team,” Walton coach Suzanne Fitzgerald said of the 3-0 victory against Pace. “I can say that our defense was incredible, and we served extremely well. Our freshman outside hitter, Mary Neal, and our senior outside hitter, Sydney Barrett, both stepped up at critical times as did our setter, Ashlyn Goolsby.”

The Raiders are home after competing at the Circus City Invitational in Sarasota, FL last weekend. In Florida, Walton defeated Out-of-Door Academy (FL) 2-0 with set victories of 25-15 and 25-20. Against Plant (FL) Walton suffered its first loss of the season 1-2 (21-25, 26-24, 10-15).

It rebounded with a victory over St. Thomas Aquinas 2-0 (25-19, 25-21). In the gold bracket against Cardinal Mooney (FL), Walton lost 0-2 (23-25, 18-25). In the 3rd/4th match, Walton fell 1-3 to Nation Ford (SC) (28-26, 22-25, 20-25, 20-25).
