PREDICT THE WINNER CONTEST

Trey Donaldson takes prize in Week 8

Trey Donaldson of Villa Rica won GHSF Daily’s Predict the Winner contest last week. Donaldson was among 10 to predict eight of 10 games correctly in the most upset-riddled week in contest history. Donaldson converted the tiebreaker, picking Prince Avenue Christian to have the widest margin of victory in its game against Athens Academy, to beat out Dwayne Alexander of Buford, Bill Beckham of Augusta, David Broomberg of Atlanta, Henry Collier of Rochelle, Cole Grantham of Marietta, Gary Mauldin of Ellijay, Ed Nelson of Statesboro, J. Tincher Watkins of Braselton and Robbie Youmans of Twin City. Donaldson survived his failure to pick Pebblebrook over East Coweta (chosen by 16.6%) and Haralson County over Callaway (18.1%) but put himself in position by siding with Crisp County over Peach County (20.7%), North Oconee over Flowery Branch (43.4%) and Ware County over Coffee (47.5%).

SAYE IT AIN'T SO

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

1. South Cobb 17, Kennesaw Mountain 15: South Cobb pulled off the biggest upset of the year, according to the computer Maxwell Ratings, when it knocked off Kennesaw Mountain, a 40-point favorite. Kennesaw Mountain was off to a school-best 6-0 start and ranked No. 4 in Class 6A. South Cobb (2-5) entered the game in last place in nine-team Region 6-6A.

2. Pebblebrook 38, East Coweta 21: Pebblebrook established itself as the region front-runner with a victory over 20-point favorite East Coweta in the teams’ Region 2-7A opener. The Falcons’ 6-0-1 start is their best since the 2000 team had a 10-0 regular season before a first-round playoff loss. Pebblebrook is seeking its first region title since 2006.

3. Miller Grove 34, Stephenson 27: Miller Grove (5-2) is within one victory of tying the school record for wins in a season after surprising 27-point favorite Stephenson, which was 5-0 and ranked No. 7 in Class 4A. Miller Grove had lost four straight in the series by a combined score of 124-21. The teams are tied for third place in 6-4A, with Miller Grove now holding the tiebreaker.

4. Haralson County 42, Callaway 14: Haralson County defeated seven-point favorite Callaway in the teams’ Region 5-2A opener. Haralson also won their 2020 meeting, but Callaway recovered to win its final seven games and claim the Class 2A championship, its first state title. Callaway has a two-game losing streak in one season for the first time since 2014.

5. Turner County 38, Clinch County 35: Turner County ended an eight-game losing streak against Clinch County, which was a seven-point favorite. Perhaps more significant is that the loss puts Clinch’s playoff streak in serious jeopardy. The Panthers have missed the state playoffs just once since 1996 and reached at least the semifinals the past six seasons.

Worth noting: Dublin, which has won three consecutive region titles but started 1-3 this year, is back in the title chase after a 49-0 victory over seven-point favorite Wilcox County. Dublin, Wilcox County, Montgomery County and Dooly County have one loss each in 4-A Public. … First Presbyterian defeated six-point favorite Tattnall Square 20-0, handing the then-No. 7 Trojans their first loss and knocking them out of the Class A Private top 10. Last year, First Presbyterian won its first region title since moving to the GHSA in 2010. … North Paulding, a 13-point underdog, ended a three-game losing streak against Marietta with a 45-42 win in the teams’ 3-7A opener. Marietta has lost two straight games after a 3-1 start that had put the Blue Devils at No. 7 in the 7A rankings. … Richmond Hill, which started 0-3 for the first time since 2005, is in the thick of the playoff race in Region 2-6A after knocking off 14-point favorite Effingham County 28-6.

FOUR QUESTIONS

Today’s interviewee is Pebblebrook coach Leroy Hood, whose team defeated defending Region 2-7A champion East Coweta 38-21 last week. It was Pebblebrook’s first victory over a ranked opponent since 2003. Pebblebrook (6-0-1) is now ranked for the first time since 2003. Hood, an Arkansas native, had been a Tift County assistant and Turner County’s head coach for two seasons before taking the Pebblebrook job in 2019.

Leroy Hood, Pebblebrook head coach

1. What did the victory mean to your team? “It was a program-changing win. Winning a game on the road in the fashion that we did in a hostile environment gives us something else to build on. It says a lot to the community as well as the state. This win is something we can build on throughout the program starting with our middle school and neighborhood feeder schools.”

2. What was the difference in the East Coweta game? Was it the running game? “As a offensive unit we wanted to be balanced and to be able to run the ball more effectively for several reasons. We had two guys go down, our No. 1 and our No. 2 running backs [injured and did not play], but we have a sophomore athlete Dwight Phillips Jr. that we move around. He’s a kick returner, a slot receiver, running back, and he even plays some safety. We knew he was explosive. He ran a 4.4 laser time in the 40 at a Troy camp this past summer. His dad was an Olympian [Dwight Phillips Sr. was the 2004 Olympic long jump champion], and his mother [Valerie Phillips] ran track in college. This was his first game at running back with the lights that bright. When he broke for those two long runs I said, ‘Wow, this kid can fly.’ That along with solid defense, explosive plays in the passing game and special teams also led to a victory.’’ [Phillips Jr. rushed for 239 yards on 13 carries.]

3. When did you feel like this team could be pretty good? “We felt like we had a really good team back in January. At the start of spring the attendance was up and numbers were consistent. The off-season was more intense. From day to day, week to week we got better. The players became more accountable. So it really started before the season.” Hood added about being ranked: “That’s a good thing and bad thing because I kind of enjoyed flying under the radar.”

4. What made you want to apply for the Pebblebrook job? “I felt like it was a diamond in the rough. The Cobb County school system is respected around the state. Pebblebrook was in a quality region but it was also in a region that we’d have a shot to compete for a region title at some point. The opportunity and challenge of doing something that hadn’t been done as a football program intrigued me. I knew there were talented kids at Pebblebrook and in Mableton. I watched HUDL film from the previous seasons, so it gave me an idea of the type players that were there. I also felt it was a school where the administration valued education but would give me and my coaching staff the time to build a football program while producing quality student-athletes.’’
