Jae Lamar had about 250 all-purpose yards last week in a huge 38-35 win against rival Lowndes. He ran for 182 yards and also caught a short pass out to the flat where he spun out of a tackle, then showed elite acceleration out to the sideline where he flew by the pursuit for
Wherever Creekside needs Eric Paul Jr, he obliges with excellent high-IQ football play. The junior do-it-all athlete is highly skilled, moving between receiver and running back with electric plays or showing great defensive instincts at cornerback. A true highlight reel play occurred last week against Pace Academy where Paul took a handoff tackle, but was
Mary Persons junior Zay Sullivan is a blocking merchant who deals out crushing blows that leave defenders firmly on the ground. The offensive lineman was in his bag during Week 7 against Upson-Lee, dropping monumental blocks that earned him the nod to be on this week’s Bully Squad. On Wednesday night, Sullivan was voted the
One of the top plays from Week 6 had to be Kennesaw Mountain’s Dylan Green making a one-handed interception against Lithia Springs. The 6’3″ junior used every inch of his 6’3″ frame to stretch out and leap for the highlight reel pick, and just a few days later, he was named to the top plays
South Gwinnett junior QB Xavier ‘Deuce’ Butler has been impactful midway through the season. The Comets are 3-1 on the year and competed well against the top 10-ranked Valdosta Wildcats in Week 5 losing 27-14. In large part, South Gwinnett’s emergence this year rests on the shoulders of Butler, who has been dynamic during
For the second year in a row, Christon ‘Tuga’ Zanders wins the Lineman of the Week on the website. The Week 4 winner was dominant in their 12-7 win over Lanier County. In a game where each possession was significant, Telfair County needed to control the line of scrimmage. It was imperative, and luckily, they
Smith McGarvey is a junior taking over the QB reins at North Hall. Just last week, the 2026 passer made a spectacular play that earned him a spot in the top 10 plays in Georgia. Lining up in the red zone against Cherokee Bluff, McGarvey took off towards the right tackle where he bulldozed
Our Week 2 Player of the Week goes to Flowery Branch junior Griffin Harper. The impactful junior had 177 yards rushing plus a touchdown and on defense he accumulated 8 tackles, a sack, a fumble, and a forced fumble. His play was demonstrative, elevating Flowery Branch to a 23-13 win over Habersham Central, giving the
Luella’s JaVon Bowser rose to the occasion in last week’s upset win over Carver-Atlanta. With his team down late in the 4th quarter, Luella turned to their dynamic junior receiver to make a play, and he did not disappoint. The Lions were lined up at the 35-yard line; Bowser off to the right sideline in
Dutchtown’s Jamarion McKinney was named our Week 1 Player of the Week after his incredible 143-yard receiving game where he found the endzone 4 different times. The explosive 6′ 176 lbs. junior was a consistent weapon running excellent routes, and his 4 touchdowns assisted in the 47-28 win over Stockbridge, who was last year’s 4A
Blessed Trinity running back Ahmontae Pitts is coming off a sophomore season where he was named All-Region and showed flashes that should attract college programs nationwide. His athletic upside was showcased again last Friday in their 24-0 win against St. Pius on opening night. Pitts was named Offensive MVP for his performance, and had several
Prince Avenue started the season on a high note beating Class 6A’s West Forsyth 35-28 in the Corky Kell + Dave Hunter Classic. Although Prince Avenue is ranked #1 in our Private 3A-A rankings, it was a statement game beating an opponent in the highest classification, showing the Wolverines could stick with any school in
Monroe Area junior Jadyn ‘Jitt’ Carr had an opening week to remember. The running back was set loose against Loganville and totaled 324 yards and 3 touchdowns in their 49-20 blowout victory. The action started in the 3rd quarter when the score was 28-20 in favor of Monroe Area. They had the football on the
One of the surprises of Week 10, at least for us, was the realization of speedy Campbell sophomore Nicholas Buggs. The shifty receiver caught a relatively short pass on the left sideline against Pebblebrook, and promptly hit the gas exploding across the field. The pursuit was left dismayed as he raced down the right sideline
Telfair County’s Christon Zanders was named our top offensive lineman of Week 8. The powerful 6’2″ 285 lbs. two-way lineman for Telfair County has been a huge part of their undefeated season so far. Telfair County is playing some of its best football in years and the sophomore seems excited about how the season has
We don’t typically see a prospect make the top 10 plays twice in a season, let alone a sophomore, but Reed Ezell has done just that. The Cartersville defensive back once again made a highlight reel interception, but this time in the clutch. With his team up 21-14 in overtime against Cass, all they needed
Cartersville is a consensus top 5 team in 5A and it still seems like not enough talking heads are bringing up the Hurricanes. The program has consistently been one of the best in the state for a decade now, and there are always players emerging as each season progresses. Sophomore Reed Ezell looks like a
Bleckley County went toe-to-toe with Class A DII’s #1 ranked Schley County last week where they ultimately loss a tough one 48-42 in overtime. In that game, Joshua Stanley certainly made his impact. On one play, he took a handoff around midfield and then proceeded to make several defenders miss en route to a score.
