7-AAA Game Previews Nov 10
Gilmer at East Hall
Series History: EH leads 13-2.
Looking Back: The only wins by Gilmer in this series were in 1971 and 1969 and since that time EH has won 11 in a row. This has been a one-sided affair in the favor of the Vikings. The last meeting was in 2003 in which EH won 32-14.
Why should I go? If you want 1 more chance to see Walter Hill play football before he takes the field next year in Athens then this will be a good game to go 2. Gilmer is a scrappy team and if EH doesn't show up to play then the EH fans will leave Senior Night sad. It should come down to who can run the ball and stop the run on defense.
West Hall at Flowery Branch
Series History: Series is tied at 2 games a piece
Looking Back: Flowery Branch won their 1st game in the school history by defeating WH 20-19 on 9-19-2003. This series has gone back and forth with one team winning in alternate years. Last year, FB won 28-0
Why should I go? This should be an ok game to attend as former FB coach, now defensive coordinator for WH, Mike Newton returns to the Branch to face a high-powered offense. Look for FB to run the ball against a very bad defense and if they need to, they might even pass. My guess is that Christian Earls will have a huge night as FB preps for the 1st round of the playoffs. WH will look to run the ball(as they always do) and try and play with that same fight and spirit that they did against Johnson. If they can create some turnovers on defense then they just might have a chance for a upset win.
Lumpkin at White Co
Series History: White Co. leads 27-10-1
Looking Back: White Co dominated this series for the longest time until the mid-90’s as Lumpkin has won 5 of the last 8 meetings. These teams last met in 2001 with Lumpkin winning 49-21 in Dahlonega.
Why should I go? WC will look to build some momentum for 2007 and LC will look to just get in the win column. On Senior night, it should be an ok match-up between 2 mediocre teams. WC should be able to put this one away early but ya’ never know.
Johnson at Pickens
Series History: Series is tied at 3-3
Looking Back: These 2 teams have met in each of the last 6 years and they’ve split the games, but Pickens has won the last 2 in this match-up by a score of 28-0 and 26-3.
Why should I go? This game will set-up who is going to the play-offs from Region 7-AAA. If Johnson wins, they are in the playoffs (with a little help). Lose and they will be sitting at home while Gainesville is in the playoffs. This game will also feature 2 great running attacks. Pickens has had a week off to heal up and rest up and they should come out on fire. Johnson had a tough game vs. FB and they will have to travel up to Jasper to take on a good Dragons team. Johnson will have to take care of the ball and not make silly mistakes that doomed them vs. FB. It should be worth the trip over the mountains if you get a chance to go.
Our game of the week this week is North Hall vs. Chestatee. Kenny should be breaking down that game here shortly. Look for our predictions sometime tomorrow...
