LaGrange takes another step on road back |
No football program dropped off more from one decade to the next than LaGrange recently did. The Grangers were 114-17 with three state titles from 2000 to 2009, then 34-71 with only two winning seasons from 2010 to 2019.
LaGrange might not be back to its glory days yet, but this season is a start under first-year coach Matt Napier. Pegged an 11-point underdog by the computer Maxwell Ratings last week, the Grangers beat New Hampstead 30-26 for their first playoff victory since 2012.
LaGrange’s 8-3 record represents the most wins for the program since 2009. A victory Friday against Perry would put the Grangers in the quarterfinals for the first time since 2008.
LaGrange is GHSF Daily’s state Team of the Week. The award, sponsored by Siemens and World Electric, will be presented to the team at the school Thursday.

Class 3A
*Upson-Lee (6-5) at Appling County (8-1): Upson-Lee won a playoff game for the first time since 2005 last week when the Knights defeated Region 3 champion Southeast Bulloch 31-13. Malique Smith rushed for 178 yards and two touchdowns. He’s at 1,006 yards rushing on the season in just six starts. The Knights have made only one quarterfinal, in 1993. Appling County, going for its first quarterfinal berth since 2011, beat Morgan County 42-13 in the first round. Sharode Roberts (188) and Keyshawn Walker (133) each rushed for more than 100 yards. Appling County completed only one pass, and it went for minus-8 yards.
*North Hall (7-4) at Greater Atlanta Christian (10-0): North Hall rarely passes, and Woody Hayes’ cliché about “two of them are bad” applies, but the run game is potent, averaging 6.4 yards per carry. Clark Howell has rushed for 1,716 yards at 7.7 per carry and scored 23 touchdowns. He went for 233 yards last week in a 36-28 victory over North Murray. The Trojans are aiming for their first quarterfinal since 2012. Greater Atlanta Christian, which beat Franklin County 37-7 last week, can make the quarters for the sixth time in seven seasons. The Spartans lean more on passing. Deymon Fleming Jr. has thrown for 1,584 yards and 19 touchdowns but also leads the team in rushing with 315 yards. Brooks Miller has 1,009 all-purpose yards. These teams were region rivals the past four seasons, with GAC beating North Hall each time they met.
*Dawson County (6-5) at Oconee County (9-0): Dawson County is in the second round for the fourth straight season, hoping to advance to the quarterfinals for the first time since 2015. Junior Zach Holtzclaw has thrown for 2,760 yards and 27 touchdowns, and three receivers (Dakohta Sonnichsen, Jaden Gibson, Tyler Lane) each have at least 650 yards receiving with seven touchdowns. Conley Dyer, playing for an injured leading rusher, ran for 152 yards last week in a 45-34 victory over Adairsville. Oconee County, the 4A runner-up last season, hasn’t allowed more than 16 points in a game this season. Jake Johnson, the consensus No. 1 tight-end recruit nationally, had four receptions for 74 yards and two touchdowns in a 21-7 victory over Westminster last week. Darius Johnson had three catches for 77 yards and a touchdown.
*Thomson (9-2) at Peach County (8-1): Peach County beat Johnson of Savannah 47-0 last week, but it was trickier than it sounds. With key players injured or quarantined, the Trojans ran out of the wildcat formation and rushed for a season-high 319 yards. Sophomore RB Chris McMillian rushed for 228 yards and four touchdowns on 25 carries and scored another time on a screen pass. Thomson beat Tattnall County 61-21. QB Tay Martin was 7-of-8 passing for 87 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 100 yards on just two carries. That was his fourth straight 100-yard rushing game and put him at 1,186 rushing yards on the season. Peach is seeking its fifth straight quarterfinal, which would be a first in program history. This is Thomson’s fifth straight second-round game. The Bulldogs have lost the last two.
*Carver-Atlanta (5-4) at Cherokee Bluff (10-1): Carver has played Class 3A’s toughest schedule, according to the Maxwell Ratings, so the record is deceiving. The Panthers beat Hart County 32-21 last week as Kiontae Strozier was 11-of-14 passing for 167 yards and three touchdowns and Jarveous Brown rushed for 163 yards and a touchdown. Carver played in 5A the previous five seasons and made the 2017 semifinals. Cherokee Bluff won a region this year in its third season, then won its first playoff game, a 35-7 victory over LaFayette, last week. Sebastian Irons was 8-of-16 passing for 183 yards and two touchdowns. Shad Dabney, who is committed to Kansas, had 135 all-purpose yards. RB Jayquan Smith is closing in on 1,000 yards rushing. He had a 316-yard rushing game this season against Dawson County.
*Central-Macon (6-3) at Pierce County (9-1): Central won its first state-playoff game last week since its 1975 team won a state title. Central held Liberty County to 162 total yards and eight first downs in the 14-6 victory. QB Jalik Thomas has topped 100 yards rushing four times and has produced more as a runner (899 yards) than passer (820 yards) this year. Maurice Elder had a 300-yard rushing game against Mary Persons in October. Pierce County is in the second round for the fifth straight season, third straight as region champion. Its best finish was a 2018 semifinal. Four-year starting QB Jermaine Brewton passed for 226 yards and rushed for 144 yards with three touchdowns in a 59-14 victory over Burke County last week. D.J. Bell rushed for 96 yards and three TDs and stands at 1,000 yards rushing on the season.
*Crisp County (9-1) at Richmond Academy (10-1): Crisp County’s four-year hold on region titles ended this season when edged out by Peach County, while Richmond Academy claimed its first region championship since 1976. That conspired to put Crisp, the 2019 state runner-up, on the road this week. Crisp, a 35-0 winner last week over Windsor Forest, hasn’t allowed more than 14 points in any game. Sirad Bryant, a safety committed to Georgia Tech, scored two offensive touchdowns and intercepted two passes against Windsor Forest. Richmond Academy plays good defense, too, allowing 11.7 points per game, seventh-best in 3A. Jontavis Curry, a top offensive weapon, was injured early in a 28-0 victory over Brantley County last week, but Rashad Williams filled in nicely, scoring three touchdowns.
*Cedar Grove (2-4) at Rockmart (9-1): Cedar Grove is the two-time defending champion. Its four losses were games won but overturned by forfeit for the inadvertent use of an ineligible player. The Saints beat Monroe Area 28-12 last week. LB Domonique Davis recovered three fumbles and returned one for a touchdown. Cedar Grove, per usual, has a number of major Division I prospects, but the Saints pass more than usual this season with Austin Smith, who has thrown for 1,067 yards and nine touchdowns in the six games. He’s committed to Eastern Michigan. Rockmart beat White County 48-35 last week. Javin Whatley rushed for 264 yards and three touchdowns, passed for 94 yards and two touchdowns and scored on an 80-yard kickoff return. Rockmart was a 2A finalist in 2018 but lost in the second round last year when Whatley was injured and did not play.

Class 2A
*Thomasville (7-4) at Dodge County (6-3): No. 3 Thomasville, a semifinalist last season, won in the first round for the fourth consecutive season when it beat Westside of Augusta 42-13 last week. Ricky Fulton ran for 95 yards and three touchdowns, and LB Ty Anderson had 12 solo tackles and three assists. QB Ronnie Baker has passed for 1,775 yards and run for 645 this season. Ninth-ranked Dodge County, the Region 3 champion, is in the second round for the sixth time in seven seasons after beating Swainsboro 35-0. Daylon Gordon ran for 216 yards and three touchdowns. He’s a 1,000-yard rusher who has run for 14 touchdowns in the past six games. Reco Caines had seven tackles, including two sacks, and returned a fumble 26 yards for a touchdown.
*Lovett (7-2) at Callaway (8-1): Lovett’s Region 6 had to adjust its standings formula because of COVID-related delays and cancellations, and the fourth-ranked Lions ended up as a No. 3 seed despite being tied for the best record against all region opponents and beating the top two seeds. QB Preston Lusink passed for three touchdowns and ran for another in a 38-17 victory against Pepperell last week. Michael Hollingsworth (438 yards rushing) and Collin Goldberg (416 receiving yards) are other offensive players to watch. No. 8 Callaway moved to the second round for the 12th time in 13 seasons when Banks County was forced to forfeit because of COVID-19 concerns. Charlie Dixon ran for 211 and 177 yards down the stretch against Temple and Heard County to help the Cavaliers clinch their eighth region title since 2008.
*Model (7-4) at Rabun County (10-1): Model beat Washington 28-14 last week to reach the second round for the first time since 2014. Quarterback Sam Silver had three touchdown runs, and Joseph Wallace ran for 192 yards and a touchdown on 31 carries. The game was tied at halftime, but Model outscored Washington 14-0 in the second half. No. 2 Rabun County is one win away from its sixth consecutive quarterfinal appearance after beating Haralson County 35-7 last week. Gunner Stockton, the nation’s consensus No. 1 dual-threat quarterback among juniors, passed for 256 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 113 yards and two scores. For the season, he has passed for 2,621 yards, rushed for 1,159 yards and accounted for 61 TDs. Lang Wiseman is the leading rusher with 1,174 yards, and Adriel Clark has 1,252 yards receiving with 24 touchdowns.
*Bleckley County (7-3) at Early County (7-2): Bleckley County is the only No. 4 seed remaining in 2A, and Early County is the only No. 3 seed in any classification that will host a second-round game. Bleckley County is in the second round for the first time since 2013 after a 56-15 victory over Vidalia, its second win this season against the Region 2 champion. Dominic Sasser threw three TD passes last week, and Jahvon Butler and Chuckie Stephens ran for two touchdowns each as the Royals put up 539 total yards (392 rushing). Sixth-ranked Early County beat Putnam County 48-7 last week for its first playoff victory since 2015. Ladarius Ceasar rushed for 205 yards on nine carries, giving him 1,175 yards for the season, and scored on runs of 67, 28, 13, 48 and 4 yards.
*Heard County (7-4) at Fannin County (9-0): Heard County slumped to 4-7 last year after winning a state title in 2018, but the Braves are back in the second round after beating Union County 31-28. Maurice Fench was 14-of-16 passing for 330 yards and two touchdowns, and Ashton Bonner had 200 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns as well as seven tackles and an interception. No. 7 Fannin County, a region champion for the first time in 13 years, beat Pace Academy 28-21 last week for its first win in the playoffs since 1995. Luke Holloway passed for 171 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 187 yards and two scores, including the game-winner on a 9-yard run in the fourth quarter. Holloway has 1,766 yards passing and a team-high 752 yards rushing for the season.
*Northeast (8-2) at Fitzgerald (10-0): Northeast won a playoff game for the first time since 2002 when it beat Toombs County 27-14 last week. Travion Solomon passed for 254 yards, rushed for 40 yards and accounted for two touchdowns. He has 2,051 yards passing, making him the first 2,000-yard passer in school history. The Raiders have never beaten a team ranked No. 1, which is where Fitzgerald currently sits. The Purple Hurricane blew past Oglethorpe County 58-12 last week to reach the second round for the 13th time in 14 seasons. That was Fitzgerald’s first game since beating Thomasville on Nov. 6 to clinch the Region 1 title. Mario Clark (761 rushing yards) and Chance Gamble (912 yards from scrimmage on 83 touches) are the main offensive weapons. Fitzgerald has beaten five teams this season that are currently ranked.
*Jeff Davis (9-1) at Jefferson County (8-2): Jeff Davis beat Washington County 28-25 in the first round for its first playoff victory since 1997. QB Cade Walters ran for a touchdown late in the third quarter for a 28-17 lead, and the Yellow Jackets held on. Aahiyus Allen and Austin Wood lead a running game that averages about 325 yards per game. No. 5 Jefferson County has won three consecutive Region 4 titles and is in the second round for the eighth straight year. Aquavious Hunter ran for a season-high 234 yards and three touchdowns in a 36-22 victory over Cook last week. He has scored 14 touchdowns in the past five games and has 793 rushing yard for the season. The Warriors average 237.3 yards per game on the ground and 76.7 passing.
*Bremen (7-4) at South Atlanta (7-3): Bremen, the only No. 3 seed remaining on its half of the bracket, reached the second round for the third consecutive season with a 28-21 victory over Elbert County. Dilon McCoy rushed for 179 yards and two touchdowns, and QB Tucker Hendrix ran for the game-winning TD with 11 seconds left. Bremen is seeking its first appearance in the quarterfinals since 2011. South Atlanta is a region champion for the first time, and its 26-14 victory over Chattooga last week was the first playoff victory in the school’s 27-year history. QB John Lawton rushed for two touchdowns in the second half for a 26-0 lead. Keyjuan Brown, a 1,000-yard rusher, had a 6-yard TD run, and Jalin Young recovered a blocked punt in the end zone. The Hornets have won five straight games since a 1-3 start.

Land, Anders, 3 others step down
Dalton and Tift County are looking for new football coaches after resignations this week. Jobs also came open at Morgan County and Villa Rica.
At Dalton, a northwest Georgia school that had only its second losing season since 1959, Matt Land stepped down. He will remain at the school as a teacher, the school district said.
Land became the head coach at his alma mater in 2010 and led the Catamounts to three region titles and a 2016 Class 6A semifinal appearance. His final team was 2-7, and his overall record was 80-43.
At Tift County, Ashley Anders has resigned, Tift County Schools announced Tuesday.
Tift County finished 2-7 after losing to No. 1-ranked Grayson 43-0 last week in the Class 7A playoffs. Tift County made the state quarterfinals in 2017 and 2018 but was 5-14 over the past two seasons.
Anders had been on Tift County’s staff since 2013 and became head coach in 2015, succeeding John Reid, who is now at Rome.
Anders is one of five South Georgia head coaches who were hospitalized and treated for COVID-19 during the season. All recovered and rejoined their teams.
Morgan County’s Bill Malone has stepped away after 14 seasons. His teams were 83-67 with two region titles. Morgan County finished 6-5 this season.
Villa Rica’s Christian Hunnicutt won’t return. Hunnicutt sat out this season with health issues, and the team was headed by David Norred in the interim. Villa Rica was 4-5.

Today’s interviewee is Mickey Thrasher, the play-by-play announcer for Upson-Lee on WTGA-Fun 101 in Thomaston. Thrasher is a former all-state tackle at R.E. Lee, a predecessor school to Upson-Lee, and played a season at Alabama under Bear Bryant. Thrasher started broadcasting games in 1980. He was inducted into the Thomaston-Upson Sports Hall of Fame in 2015.
Mickey Thrasher, Upson-Lee radio play-by-play announcer
1. Big win for Upson-Lee last week. What are your thoughts on that game and that accomplishment? “The win over Southeast Bulloch last week means this will be only the fourth time the Knights have made it into the Sweet Sixteen field of postseason. Upson-Lee was formed in 1992, consolidating R.E. Lee and Upson High. There have only been three coaches that have gotten into the second round of the playoffs: inaugural coach Tommy Perdue in 1993, Mike Majors in 2002 and 2005 and now Justin Elder. The win of 31-13 last week was mostly ground-oriented. Senior running back Milique Smith went for 178 yards and two touchdowns. He has 1,006 rushing on the season but has only been a starter at running back in six games. The most impressive part of last week? Scoreless in second quarter, and the Knights put together a 92-yard scoring drive. Also, Upson-Lee took the final 5:04 of the third quarter, consumed it and threw eight points up as the quarter ended, 53 yards on nine plays. When you consider that in week five this team sustained numerous injuries at the skill positions against Crisp County and still had to face Peach County, Mary Persons, Central Macon, I don't think anyone saw a week 11 on the horizon. Not only that, but it took a tiebreaker against Jackson in the final game of the regular season to get in. As for the community of Upson County, hopefully this team rekindles the glory days long missing and the tradition is reborn.”
2. Upson County has great football tradition going back to the days of R.E. Lee, where you played. But Upson-Lee has not had the football success that some predicted for it. What's the state of U-L football past and present, and where do you see it headed? “The state of high school football in Thomaston-Upson County has been in a struggling mode for a while. Before the consolidation in 1992, R. E. Lee football started its tradition under Jim Cavan in 1953. I was fortunate to have played for Coach and was part of the first undefeated regular season team of 1970. Tommy Perdue became head coach in 1976 and went 144-48, winning a state title in 1988 and playing for another. His retirement came after the 1994 season. He won the region championship in 1993. That's the only region title for Upson-Lee. As for where the program is headed, hopefully the success of this season starts it anew. Any coach will tell you it starts with the support of the administration.”
3. You’ve broadcast a number of games over the years. Who was the best team and/or player that you've seen play? “As for the best team in all these years, the 1988 state championship team of R.E. Lee, hands down. That AA bunch could have contended and won in any classification. I often said the homecoming game in ’88 could have been scheduled for week 15. I was that confident in that team, that year, coming off an ’87 year of 14-1. Players I've been fortunate to witness: Hines Ward of Forest Park, Richard LeCounte of Liberty County, Alvin Toles of Mary Persons, Jaquez Green of Peach County, Eric Berry of Creekside and Michael Hicks of R.E. Lee.”
4. High school football has been a big part of your life. Why is that? What keeps you excited about Friday night lights after all these years? “High school football was integrated into my fiber about the age of 8. I played youth football with Pete Cavan and spent a few Saturdays at his house, back when his brother, Mike, was the high school quarterback. [Mike became Georgia’s starting quarterback and longtime assistant coach, now the special assistant to the head coach.] I remember to this day how Coach Cavan would have his staff over and talked about the prior evening’s game. It stirred something inside me. That feeling is still there. Now that my son, Ben, has been in coaching [now on LaGrange’s staff], I can't wait for football Friday night to come around. The only drawback is that some nights I'm calling one while he's coaching one.”
Playoff broadcast partners GPB TV, Peachtree TV and NFHS Network feature top games live each week throughout the playoffs. This week: Peachtree TV airs West Forsyth vs. North Gwinnett; GPB TV presents Lowndes vs. North Cobb; and NFHS Network streams multiple contests to any device. Much appreciation to the broadcast crew that make these events happen. Don’t miss a moment. Watch, enjoy and stay safe!
