7-AAA Game Previews for Oct 13th.
1st-step Friday kicks off the subregion schedule and there should some exciting action all around NE Georgia. Here are the game previews.
Chestatee (3-2) at East Hall (2-3)
Series History: East Hall leads 2-0 (2002, 67-0; 2003, 13-9)
Chestaee - Coach Stan Lutrell (1st year - 3-2; Overall - 3rd year - 7-18)
Key Players: Lane Vasser, Ethan Souther, JoJo Sweet
Keys to a War Eagle Win: The War Eagles hit the road to try and get back on the win column against the Vikings. They haven't met since 2003 because of East Hall's switch to AA. This year, Chestatee will look to right the ship after back-to-back losses and get their star running back, Lane Vasser involved in the offensive game plan. The past several weeks, defenses have slowed this stud down and it's allowed for other players to step up and make plays. For Chestatee to win this game, Ethan Souther will have to make plays in the passing game to take the pressure off of Vasser.
East Hall - Coach Tim Marchman (4th year - 19-18; 25th year 135-120-3)
Key Players: Jonathan Osborne, Walter Hill, Korentheus Bailey
Keys to a Viking win: For East Hall, they have to continue to run the ball successfully with Jonathan Osborne in order to open up the passing game for Walter Hill and Quan Banks. Last week against West Hall, they were able to run the ball which brought the West hall LBs and DBs closer to the line of scrimmage and allowed for Hill, Banks, Footman, & Bailey to make some plays. Look for more of the same on Friday.
Look for our predictions on Thursday.
Gilmer (1-4) at Lumpkin (0-5)
Series History: Gilmer leads 22-5-3
Gilmer: Coach Rob Stowe (4th year - 6-29)
Key Players: Rod Newberry, Josh Snider, Ethan Watkins
Keys to a Bobcat win: These two teams have split their last four meetings and Coach Stowe will look to guide the Bobcats to their 2nd win of the season. Look for Gilmer to run the triple option to get their swift running backs to the edge and in the open field. Gilmer's defense has been pretty good at slowing teams down as they held Gainesville to 28, Pickens to 17, and Flowery Branch scoreless for 1 qtr.
Lumpkin Co - Coach Tommy Jones (1st year - 0-5)
Key Players: Ken Jackson, Lance Copeland, Cam Jackson
Keys to an Indian win: The Indians are still looking for their first win with a fairly young squad. They have improved each game but they will have play their best football to beat the Bobcats in Dahlonega. This might be Lumpkin's best shot a victory this year because the schedule doesn't get any easier. Look for our predictions on Thursday.
White Co (1-4) at North Hall (4-1)
Series History: White Co. leads (19-15)
White Co - Coach Gregg Seagraves (1st year - 1-4; 3rd year - 18-10)
Key Players:Tyler Norman, Jesse Brown, Quint Moss
Keys to a Warrior win: After White Co dominated this series in the 60's, 70's, & 80's, they haven't beaten North Hall since Sept. 11, 1987. North Hall has won 12 straight in the series with the closest game being 13-12 in 1995(a game in which I got my 1st start at linebacker) and the largest margin coming in 2004, 57-33. White Co. has had two weeks to prepare for a very, very good North Hall team and White Co. will need to play a perfect game in order to have a chance at victory. Tyler Norman will have to be sharp on offense and create some scoring opportunities with his arm and legs. The Offensive line will be a key here as they have to be able to give Norman some time to throw and Brown some running room. Quint Moss and the rest of the defense will need to slow down the ball-controlled NH running game in order to have a chance at victory. Look for the Warrior defense to crowd the line of scrimmage and force the Trojans to throw the ball.
North Hall - Coach Bob Christmas (6th year 40-20; Overall - 10th year - 52-49)
Key Players: Hunter Wolf, Fabian Jackson, Jackson Griffeth
Keys to a Trojan Win: North Hall will look to build off of the momentum gained in a big victory over Flowery Branch last week. Hunter Wolf did an excellent job finding some running room last week and the offensive line will look to open up some running room for Epps, Sosebee, Wolf, and Jackson. North Hall will stick to their game plan of controlling the clock with the run. On defense, look for the NH linebackers to be very active and wreck havoc in the WC backfield. It should be an electric atmosphere at the Brickyard between these two bitter rivals. Look for our prediction on this game on Thursday.
Pickens(5-1) at West Hall (1-5)
Series History: West Hall leads 4-2
Pickens - Coach Steve Sewell (12th year 61-56-3)
Key Players: Amario Jones, George Weaver, Kevin Kinsey
Keys to a Dragon win: West Hall won the 1st 4 games in this series (94, 95, 02,03) but Pickens has won the past two years. The Dragons come to Oakwood with a speedy offense and a very aggressive defense. In spite of being slowed down in Ellijay last week, the Dragons should be able to run at will against a very porous West Hall defense.
West Hall - Coach Dave Dirkson (1st year 1-5)
Key Players: Marquise Stephens, Clay Smith, Daniel Drummond
Keys to a Spartan win: West Hall will try to keep the ball on the ground to control the clock and try to create some turnovers on defense. They are looking to rebound after a close loss to Gilmer and a blowout loss against East Hall. Look for our predictions on Thursday.
Johnson is off this week before returning to action against West Hall on Oct 20th.
Kenny will be breaking down the Big Game of the Week between Gainesville and Flowery Branch by Wednesday. Look for all of our predictions on Thursday. Also, check back on Saturday as we post some of our photos from the big game and also give our commentary and recaps of all the games.

I think your stats for Coach Marchman are wrong. It looks like he only lost 2 games before coming to east hall? THat would make him like 116-2 lifetime before becoming a viking. That cant be right! Keep up the good work!
