SAYE IT AIN'T SO

GHSF Daily's Chip Saye ranks the most surprising and notable games of the weekend:

1. Paulding County 22, Douglas County 20: Paulding County (3-2, 1-1) pulled off the biggest upset of the week, according to the computer Maxwell Ratings, handing 28-point favorite Douglas County its first loss of the season and knocking the Tigers out of a tie for first place in Region 5-6A. Douglas County was 5-0 and ranked No. 9 in 6A last week.

2. Carver (Atlanta) 20, Westminster: For the second consecutive week, an Atlanta Public Schools team upset a north Atlanta private school. Last week, it was South Atlanta beating Pace Academy. This time, Carver improved to 1-4 by beating 11-point favorite Westminster. Carver lost the four previous meetings (all before 2000) by an average of 33 points.

3. Richmond Academy 42, Thomson 28: Richmond Academy, seeking its first region title since 1976, is alone in first place in 4-3A after upsetting 19-point favorite Thomson. It was the Musketeers’ second victory in the series in 25 tries. Richmond County was projected by Maxwell as the No. 4 playoff seed, while Thomson was the pick to win the region.

4. Kennesaw Mountain 35, Lassiter 7: Kennesaw Mountain, a one-point favorite, won handily and ended a 19-game losing streak that was the longest in school history. It was the Mustangs’ first victory in a region game (not counting a loss to Marietta in 2017 that was overturned by forfeit) since 2014, a stretch of 29 straight on-field region losses.

5. North Hall 34, White County 31: White County, which was 4-0 and ranked No. 7 in Class 3A two weeks ago, fell to 0-2 in region play after an overtime loss to 23-point underdog North Hall. White County was playing without star quarterback J. Ben Haynes. North Hall (3-3, 2-0) is tied with Cherokee Bluff for first place in 7-3A and seeking its first region title since 2012.

Worth noting: Chamblee, which was 7-52 the past six years after its last winning season in 2013, improved to 2-0 with a 21-10 win over 21-point favorite Dunwoody. Chamblee, playing a non-region schedule this season, lost to Dunwoody 37-0 last year. … Hancock Central is alone in first place in Region 7-A public after a 28-14 victory over Warren County, a quarterfinalist in 2019 that won last year’s meeting 50-8. Hancock, 3-0 for the first time since its inaugural 1960 season, has never won a region title. … Southeast Bulloch won its first region championship since 1994 by beating 12-point favorite Liberty County 21-7. These are the only two schools in seven-team 3-3A that did not opt out of playing a full region schedule because of COVID-19 concerns. … Walker ended an eight-game losing streak with a 42-15 win over 12-point favorite St. Francis, reversing a 45-27 loss last year. It was the first victory at the school for Michael Gunn, who last served as a head coach at Athens Academy in 2013. … Windsor Forest beat 21-point favorite Jenkins 14-6 to end a six-game losing streak in the series. Jenkins was 12-2 and a semifinalist in 2019 but is off to a 1-2 start this year against a Chatham County-only schedule.

FOUR QUESTIONS

Today’s interviewee is Appling County coach Rick Tomberlin, whose team defeated Benedictine 28-21 Friday and improved to 6-0 for the first time since 2011. His 266 victories rank 18th in GHSA history. He led Washington County to state titles in 1994, 1996 and 1997.

Rick Tomberlin,

Appling County head coach

1. What’s the significance of the victory over Benedictine for your team? “Benedictine might be the best team to ever come to Appling County High School and Jimmy Swain Stadium. BC is a great program with great tradition, coaching and resources. To be able to win against a team in a higher classification, with their talent and success, particularly the previous eight years or so, is a big step for our program. We think this elevates us to the point we think we can play and compete on the championship level.”

2. How did the game come down, and what did your team do well that allowed you to win? “It was a close, hard-fought game that literally came down to the last play, in which we intercepted a pass and time ran out. It was back and forth in terms of score and momentum. We talk about the champions in all sports and how the star closes the show. We always want to win and play great, giving a little extra in the fourth quarter. To make a correlation with boxing, Rocky Marciano, Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali usually won or dominated the championship rounds, the last two rounds of a fight. We want to dominate the play and intensity in the fourth quarter. We had to reach down and really suck it up this week. We prepare for this kind of intensity in practice, in the weight room and all summer long. We have tried to install the mindset of this cliché: We will fight ’em until hades freezes over. Then we will fight ’em on ice.”

3. What has been the most important thing that you and your staff have done since you became head coach in 2018 to get the program back to the point where you're contending for a region title and a chance to make a deep playoff run? “I have a great coaching staff. I hired extremely well. Our system gave me the ability to go get some great assistant coaches who are super knowledgeable and work exceptionally hard. My assistants do most of the work. They are loyal and super dedicated. Their expectation is play and prepare like a champion and we expect to play on the championship level. My outstanding assistant coaches deserve most of the credit. Also, our players trusted us. They have bought in to our vision of becoming a championship program. We are not there yet, but we are getting there.”

4. Your career as a head coach goes back to the 1980s, and you've had a wide range of coaching challenges and experiences. In what way have you changed the most as a head coach over the years, and what advice would you give a younger coach based on things that have changed your style and outlook over the years? “I read where Erk Russell said, ‘Trees that bend with the wind last a lot longer than those who are rigid and do not bend.’ I have had to bite my tongue and allow our players to be looser at pre-game meals, looser in the locker room prior to the games. In the old days I got angry if I saw players talking or joking around at school on game day. I would jump all over them if they talked too loud at pre-game meals. I have had to relax that a little. I allow music in the locker room prior to the game. The players like it. They know how I feel. They respect how I feel. If it helps them relax and play better, let's have the music. I still have my non-negotiables. My players know that when I talk, they listen. They don't talk or move around when I'm talking. They know this and respect this. We are going to train year around in the weight room and work every day to break personal records and get ‘certified bulletproof.’ Oher teams might and can have a smarter head coach, but nobody, nobody, will outwork us in the weight room. I still believe in being in great physical shape. If needed, we could play a doubleheader on Friday nights.

“My advice [for younger coaches] is to learn under some great head and assistant coaches. Listen more, talk less. Football can be like a smorgasbord buffet, there are a lot of ways to do things. Find your niche, work at it, learn it, know it, be passionate about it, believe in it and stay the course. Too many coaches jump around doing something different every year. My coaching icons, Tom Osborne, Bear Bryant, Bobby Bowden, Wright Bazemore, were innovative but consistent. Remember, pros draft their talent, and colleges recruit their talent, but high schools must develop our talent. Work to make them bigger, faster, stronger. Systems don't win, people do. Develop your players.”
