LIST

Wins vs. No. 1

Marist coach Alan Chadwick won his 400th game in style Friday, beating a No. 1-ranked team, Blessed Trinity. It was the fifth time that Chadwick has beaten a No. 1 team. It’s not easy to do. No. 1 teams historically win 86.4% of the time, according to research by GHSFHA’s Loren Maxwell, and opportunities to play No. 1 teams don’t come along every season. Chadwick’s teams are 5-8 vs. No. 1 teams. His biggest win over a No. 1 was a 30-8 victory over Worth County in the 1989 Class 3A championship game. Larry Campbell and Nick Hyder have the most victories over No. 1 teams, with nine each.

SAYE IT AIN'T SO

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

1. Three No. 1s fall, again: For the second consecutive week, three No. 1-ranked teams lost. This time it was Class 7A Milton (40-21 vs. North Cobb), 5A Blessed Trinity (28-13 vs. Marist) and A Public Irwin County (18-15 vs. Fitzgerald in overtime). All three of the No. 1s were favored by the computer Maxwell Ratings, but by three points or less. Only Irwin retained its No. 1 ranking this week.

2. Westlake 31, Colquitt County 24: Westlake ended Colquitt County’s 23-game home winning streak, recovering a fumble late in the game to preserve a victory over the Packers, who were 16-point favorites. Westlake had lost the three previous games in the series by double-digit margins. A win this week against Creekside would make Westlake 3-0 for the first time since 2007.

3. Osborne 12, Woodland (Cartersville) 0: Osborne pulled off the biggest upset of the week, defeating a Woodland team that was a 28-point favorite. The win came in the head-coaching debut of Osborne’s Luqman Salam, a longtime Hillgrove assistant. Salam became the first coach to win his debut with the Cardinals since Rodney Hackney in 2004.

4. Jones County 34, North Gwinnett 28: It has already been a crazy season for Class 5A Jones County. A week after losing 33-28 against a Class 2A Northeast team that was a 19-point underdog, the Greyhounds turn around and defeat a Class 7A team that was a 14-point favorite. For what it’s worth, Jones County will be a seven-point favorite this week against another 5A team, Veterans.

5. Terrell County 12, Marion County 0: Terrell County is 2-0 for the first time in more than 30 years after beating 14-point favorite Marion County. Officially, Terrell started 2-0 in 1990 because of a forfeit victory in its second game. The last time the Greenwave had such a good start on the field came in 1988, when it won its first three games in an 8-3 season.

Worth noting: Appling County was a one-point favorite over Clinch County but won handily 33-6. Clinch is 0-2 for the first time since 2009, when it opened the year with losses to Charlton County and Irwin County in what would be a 10-4 season. … Clarkston, which canceled its season in 2020, ended a 22-game losing streak with a 20-19 victory over 20-point favorite Berkmar in its season opener. It was the Angoras’ first victory since they defeated Cross Keys 66-0 on Sept. 13, 2017. … Decatur ended an 11-game losing streak against private schools with a 13-6 win over Wesleyan, an eight-point favorite. The Bulldogs last beat a private school on Oct. 11, 2013, a 31-28 double-overtime game against Blessed Trinity. … Putnam County, a 12-point underdog, is 18-31-1 all-time against Morgan County but has won two straight in the series after its 37-0 victory last week. It was the War Eagles’ largest margin of victory in the series since a 40-0 win in 1991. … Randolph-Clay defeated 12-point favorite Jordan 14-0 in the head-coaching debut of Scott Swantic. The victory was the first in a season opener since 2016 for the Red Devils, who had been 4-35 since reaching the playoffs that season.

FOUR QUESTIONS

Today’s interviewee is Westlake coach Bobby May, whose team defeated Colquitt County 31-24 last week in a game that ended Colquitt’s 23-game home winning streak and marked Westlake’s first victory in South Georgia since 2006.

Bobby May, Westlake head coach

1. Where was the game won Friday night? What was the different-maker? “I think the difference was our conditioning and our veteran leadership on the offensive line and quarterback. We made less mistakes than them at the end of the game.”

2. Aside from getting the victory, what did going to Colquitt and having success do for your team? “Hopefully, it shows our kids that we can win tough games on the road. We haven’t won many big games on the road in years past, certainly not in South Georgia.” [Westlake lost at another South Georgia school, Lee County, in the 2020 Class 6A semifinals.]

3. You made the semifinals last year, but you graduated quite a few major Division I players, especially at wide receiver and tight end. How has the 2021 team been able to pick up where you left off despite those losses? “We lost a lot of great players, but overall we were actually pretty young, especially at defensive back, offensive line, quarterback and running back. Having experience at those positions right now is making the difference. I think we cover well on defense and we can run the ball on offense, which opens up our passing game.”

4. One question mark this season might’ve been how your quarterback, Georgia Power 100 player R.J. Johnson, would respond now that he doesn't have so many great WR/TE targets. Is his start this year proof of how good he was all along, or has he taken a step forward in his skills? “That wasn’t a question mark for us. We’ve known R.J. has been special, and he’s only gotten better. We still have some very good receivers. They just aren’t as well known. R.J. is a better leader this season. Our wide receivers are smaller guys this year, and he still fits the ball in smaller catch windows. He’s also showing he’s a threat to run the ball, which makes our offense hard to stop when we are firing on all cylinders.”
