7-AAA Game Recaps

East Hall - 27, Lumpkin -14
What happened: The Vikings went back to the ground game as they churned out 216 yards. As we have been saying for the past few weeks, the Vikings have to run the ball to open up the passing attack. A very balanced effort by the Vikings offense and a great game plan by the coaching staff allowed East Hall to get back into the win column. Lumpkin fought hard but in the end, they just couldn't hold down East Hall.
Player of the Game: Jonathan Osbourne - 12 carries, 61 yds, 3 TDs
What lies ahead: East Hall will play at home against White County. Lumpkin Co. will play another home game against a very,very good North Hall team.

Chestatee - 34, White Co. - 7
What happened: Chestatee controlled the ball in running 62 total plays to WC's 38 total plays. The War Eagles rushed for 207 yds and had 100 yds passing. Jo Jo Sweet continued his good work with 72 yds rushing on 18 attempts. The defense also showed up and shut out the WC offense. The only score by WC was on defense as Brandon Vaught returned an INT for a 60 yd TD. The telling stat was that WC only had 112 total yds on offense and Chestatee forced 4 turnovers. Great work by the War Eagle defense as they seem to be on their way to the playoffs.
Player of the Game: The entire Chestatee defense
What lies ahead: A huge sub-region game for Chestatee as they play host to Gilmer. The winner has the inside edge on the 2nd spot on the 'A' side of the region. White Co. will try to get back on track on the road at East Hall.

North Hall - 35, Gilmer - 12
What happened: The Trojans traveled up to Ellijay and stuck to their game plan which is run the ball. They tallied 293 yds on the ground. Hunter Wolf, Fabian Jackson, & a host of RBs helped the Trojans move the ball methodically up and down the field against the Bobcats. Gilmer played tough but it wasn't enough against a very, very good North Hall team.
Player of the Game: NH offensive line (paved the way for 293 yds rushing)
What lies ahead: North Hall will play on the road again but a shorter trip lies ahead as they travel to Lumpkin Co. Gilmer will take the road as well and travel to Chestatee for a HUGE sub-region matchup.

Gainesville - 28, Pickens - 21
What happened: Two very good teams slugged it out in Jasper and Gainesville came away victorious with a 12 play 93 yard drive in the 4th qtr that could just very well be a season defining drive. Without it, Gainesville may have been sitting at home in a couple of weeks. With the win they keep their hopes alive of going to the playoffs once again. Pickens now has to rebound quickly as Flowery Branch comes to town in what will basically decide who is going to the playoffs from the 'B' region. This is not to slight Johnson and West Hall, but after watching both play last night, I don't believe either have enough to beat Gainesville or Flowery Branch.
Player of the Game: Kendrick Harris - 12 carries, 102 yds rushing, 3 TDs
What lies ahead: Gainesville will play at home at City Park vs Johnson. As mentioned above, Pickens will play at home as Flowery Branch comes to Jasper after an off week.

Stay tuned as Kenny will break down the "Battle of the Blue"
