Key Players
#14 Senior QB Lyle Allen; passed for 1,469 yds, 18 TDs
Scouting Report: 6-4, 200; Baseball star has an excellent arm and tremendous leadship skills
#75 Senior OL Joseph Gilbert
Scouting Report: 6-5, 280; Georgia Tech commit, leads the big OL in a very balanced offense
#32 Sophomore RB Donavan Tate
Scouting Report: Son of UGA great Lars Tate, speedy, excellent burst, good receiver with 8 TDs
# 17 Sophomore RB Morgan Alexander
Scouting Report: Shredded Villa Rica for 245 yds, tough runner, hard to bring down
My take on the Hurricanes: They have everything going for them: a great coach, great tradition, speedy athletes, and confidence after beating former # 1 Carrollton. In that game, Allen led the offense on a 99 yard TD drive with 1:30 left in the game for a 41-37 win. They lost 24 seniors from last year's team but it appears that they have re-loaded and will be tough to beat especially at home. There appears to be no weakness for Cartersville and they are one of the few teams that has a legitimate shot at winning the AAA title.
Early, Early, Saturday before the game prediction: Cartersville 42, Chestatee 6
