SAYE IT AIN'T SO

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

1. Woodward Academy 14, Marist 9: A week after Marist’s Alan Chadwick picked up his 400th career victory, Woodward’s John Hunt picked up his 100th in 11 seasons. Woodward was projected as a 19-point underdog by the computer Maxwell Ratings. The loss snapped Marist’s 14-game winning streak, which included the Class 4A championship in 2020.

2. New pecking order?: Defending 6-6A champion Allatoona and runner-up Kell gave up late touchdowns and lost to double-digit underdogs in the first game of region play. Allatoona lost 22-21 to 10-point underdog Kennesaw Mountain, which is 3-0 for the first time in school history. Kell, a 14-point favorite, lost 30-24 to Pope, a team it beat 47-13 last year.

3. Creekside 27, Westlake 20: Westlake was coming off an upset of perennial power and 16-point favorite Colquitt County but couldn’t keep up the momentum, losing to its south Fulton rival, which was a 14-point underdog. Creekside is 2-0 for the first time since 2016 but 24-12 since bottoming out at 0-10 in 2017. Westlake had won three straight in the series.

4. Put ’em in the playoffs: South Carolina team Beaufort has as good a case for making the GHSA playoffs as anybody.

The Eagles (3-0) defeated Benedictine 33-23 on Friday for their third consecutive victory against a Georgia team, two of which (Benedictine and Richmond Hill) were nine-game winners and playoff teams last year. Beaufort was 5-2 in 2020.

5. Union Grove 21, Starr’s Mill 14: Union Grove pulled off the upset of the week, according to Maxwell, with its victory over 24-point favorite Starr’s Mill in a Class 5A game. Starr’s Mill, ranked No. 7 last week, had won the previous three meetings in the series, including 19-14 last year. Union Grove went 6-5 last season and made the playoffs for the first time in eight years.

Worth noting: Chestatee ended an 11-game losing streak that was the third-longest in school history with a 41-28 victory over nine-point favorite Union County. It was the War Eagles’ first win since beating West Hall 70-14 in the 2019 season finale. … McIntosh is 2-1 after its a 34-28 victory over four-point favorite Fayette County, which won last year’s game 27-14. The Chiefs are off to their best start since winning their first five games in 2017, which was their most recent playoff season. … North Gwinnett (1-2) picked up its first victory of the season with a 34-27 win over Parkview, a 10-point favorite. Parkview’s 1-2 start is its worst since starting 0-5 in 2013, Cecil Flowe’s final season as the Panthers’ head coach. … Pebblebrook of Class 7A was an eight-point favorite over Hapeville Charter (4A) but won 40-20 to reach 3-0 for the first time since 2003. The Falcons have beaten Peachtree Ridge, South Cobb and Hapeville by a combined score of 133-29. … Spalding, a 1-9 team each of the past two seasons, is 2-1 after a 27-17 victory over Ola, which was an 11-point favorite. The wins over Union Grove (35-28) and Ola avenged losses in 2020 that came by a combined score of 90-17.

FOUR QUESTIONS

Today’s interviewee is Decatur coach William Felton, whose team defeated Greater Atlanta Christian, a seven-point favorite per the Maxwell Ratings, 48-14 last week. Decatur won a playoff game in 2020 for the first time since 2003. This week, Decatur (3-0) is ranked No. 10 in Class 5A, the Bulldogs’ first AJC ranking since 2004.

William Felton, Decatur head coach

1. Though GAC is 0-3, it’s still considered a good team. What allowed you to win comfortably? “It just came back to preparation. We were meticulous about the things that Greater Atlanta Christian does well and made sure we had a plan for those things. They do a good job of scheming and rolling out their quarterback. He’s a great athlete with a great arm. On defense, No. 72 [Addison Nicholls, committed to Tennessee] is a nightmare. He’s better than advertised.”

2. Is this year’s team better than last year’s, when you won a historic playoff game? “Of course. I attribute that to us having an offseason. We didn’t have one last season [because of COVID restrictions that were stricter in Decatur City Schools than most districts]. We didn’t have spring ball. We had limited contact in the summer. We were off one week, on one week, off one week, a lot of inconsistency. We’re well-prepared from a health standpoint, with kids being in shape, and with schemes and in tune with things we want to accomplish.”

3. What kind of team is Decatur? What would you see if you watched them on a Friday night? First off, what you’re going to see is a team that wins collectively, not just one person. We get plays from all the players on the field. Of course, we have some that are in the upper echelon of the group. Junior [RB/DE] Marquis Hood is a big prospect, and he and [LB/DE] Cam Wingo and [RB/OLB] Chapman Smith are three big bruisers, and [RB/ILB] Nahshon Smith is not only good in football but a two-time state qualifier in wrestling. Other game-changers are wide receivers Kenric Lanier, Curran Brant and Mekhi Lloyd and tight ends Kedric Lackey and Max Nunnally. It’s just athletic kids who’ve bought into what we’re doing, selfless guys with one goal, and that’s to win.”

4. What’s the main thing that you believe you and your staff have done in your two seasons at Decatur to help elevate the program to the next level? “It just comes down to our relationships with the kids. It’s bigger than football. Me and my coaches go above and beyond, whether it’s coming to school on Saturday to open the facility to work out or just as a place to fellowship and not be out in the streets, or going to buy cleats for kids or catering meals and sitting down and having family time with them. The coaches just relate to our guys. You’ve got to have the trust of your kids. We care more about them as a person than as an athlete. The kids thrive on that.”
