My take on the Trojans: Just like Cartersville they have everything going for them: a great coach, great tradition, and speed. But they did lose some confidence after losing to Cartersville. They still have a legitimate shot at winning the AAA title even though they didn't win the region. They certainly have history and tradition on their side.

Early, Early, Sunday before the game prediction: Gainesville 35, Carrollton 34
