SAYE IT AIN'T SO

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

1. Lovejoy 19, North Gwinnett 7: Lovejoy was 3-0 but unranked and came into Friday’s game against then-No. 3 North Gwinnett of Class 7A projected as a 38-point underdog by the computer Maxwell Ratings. Lovejoy is now No. 5 in 6A after the stunning upset. The Wildcats became the first team from a lower classification to beat the Bulldogs since 1999.

2. Riverwood 29, Woodward Academy 26: Riverwood, a 16-point underdog, won its 18th consecutive regular-season game and beat then-No. 10 Woodward of 5A for the first time in nine all-time tries. It was the Raiders’ first victory against a top-10 team since 2001. Raiders coach Robert Edwards is 21-4 at a school that went 2-8 the year before his arrival.

3. Taylor County 33, Schley County 14: Schley County went from unranked to No. 4 in Class A Public after beating then-No. 2 Wilcox County 20-19 on Sept. 18, but the Wildcats dropped five spots in the latest poll after losing to Taylor County, a 12-point underdog. Taylor County, which lost to Schley 49-14 last season, is 2-0 for the first time since 2017.

4. Hughes 35, Mays 14: Hughes, which didn’t start the season until Sept. 18 because of Fulton County’s two-week delay, has already matched its 2019 win total after beating a favorite for the second consecutive week. Hughes was a 21-point underdog against 2019 6A champion Harrison but won 14-7 in its opener. Mays was favored by seven over the weekend.

5. Macon County 38, Marion County 0: Macon County beat nine-point favorite Marion in its Region 5-A Public opener to avenge a 37-20 loss to the Eagles in the Region 4-A championship game last season. Macon County is 2-0 for the first time since 2016. Marion was the Class A Public runner-up in 2019 but is off to a 1-2 start, also losing to Clinch County.

Worth noting: Franklin County beat six-point underdog Jackson County 14-13 to improve to 4-0 for the first time since 1983. The Lions, who already have doubled their win total from last year, have not won more than four games in a season since 2015. … Hawkinsville beat 21-point favorite Telfair County 25-22 to improve to 2-1, matching its victory total from last season. Hawkinsville is looking for its first winning season since its 2014 team finished 13-1 and won the Class A Public title. … Hillgrove’s Byron Slack picked up his first career win as a head coach when his Hawks beat 10-point favorite McEachern 38-29. Hillgrove has won three of the past four against its west Cobb County archrival and has a 6-5 lead in the series. … King’s Ridge Christian’s Terry Crowder got his first victory at his new school when the Tigers beat eight-point favorite Landmark Christian 26-13 in the season opener. Crowder previously coached at Chattahoochee, Creekview and Denmark. … Peachtree Ridge beat 14-point underdog Centennial 35-32 to reach 3-0 for the first time since 2013. The Lions, who went 3-7 last year and 6-24 over the past three seasons, haven’t finished with a winning record since going 8-4 in 2015.

FOUR QUESTIONS

Today’s interviewee is Lovejoy coach Edgar Carson, whose team defeated North Gwinnett 19-7 on Friday. It was Lovejoy’s first victory over a ranked opponent since 2012, when North Gwinnett also was the opponent in the Class 6A quarterfinals. Carson was an assistant on that state runner-up team and became Lovejoy’s head coach in 2014.

Edgar Carson, Lovejoy head coach

1. What was the significance of that victory for Lovejoy? “It was huge for our community. North Gwinnett is a 7A program. They’ve got a really good football team. They’re well-coached, and their kids play with discipline. Hopefully, this gets our community back excited about Lovejoy football. It was a big win for Clayton County and the Southside. We might not have all the facilities and amenities like up top, but there’s still some good football played in Clayton.”

2. What was the difference in the game? “I thought our kids did a great job of being disciplined, and I think they grew up. We’ve got a mixture of seniors and underclassmen, and they’ve bought into what we’re preaching. We’ve got a couple of seniors, Antonio Jones and Quentavius Scandrett, who play both sides of the ball [as wide receivers and defensive backs; Jones scored on a 40-yard reverse to give Lovejoy the lead for good in the fourth quarter]. Israel Nwokocha up front, he’s a handful. Him mixed with our freshman, No. 58, Michai Boireau, now that kid there, man, I see NFL written on him if he continues to work hard. He’s very coachable. I can’t say enough about our quarterback, Stephin Craig. He had a couple of bumbles, but he put together some passes. He’s a general. We preach that the most important play is the next play, and he gets that. I think our team just gelled together, and hopefully we can build off this win.”

3. How close is the program to being back to those back-to-back state runner-up teams of 2011 and 2012? “I got here in 2011, and we were loaded. The thing about those teams, we had a lot of depth at every position. Winning breeds competition, and winning breeds people wanting to come to your school. The key is keeping them in Clayton County. You don’t have to go anywhere else to be great. We’ve had a plethora of players here go on to play Division I to NAIA.”

4. Coming off this big win, how good do you feel your team can be this season? “Honestly, I don’t know. We haven’t played a region game yet. We didn’t have an offseason. We missed over 3,000 reps that we would’ve gotten from spring practice all the way through OTAs, contact camp and 7-on-7s. So we still don’t know how good we are. It will depend on how hard we work. Up to now, they’re doing everything we’re asking. The biggest thing for me now is to keep the foot on the gas with my players and coaching staff. We have to understand this game is over and we need get ourselves ready for our next opponent, and that’s Griffin. We’ll see where the chips fall week to week.”
