Among the tackle leaders in the state of Georgia is Cooper Middleton. The explosive, high-motor defender out of Christian Heritage had 143 tackles on the year, which ranks him 5 in Georgia and 100 solo tackles, which is first. No matter what, Middleton is always after the football, and in Week 12, he once again
During Week 11, there were a lot of great plays across the state of Georgia, but among the best was Mays junior Gerald Hunter’s interception returned for a touchdown in a 59-40 win against Midtown. The explosive defensive back read the play perfectly, jumping the route and immediately turning himself into a returner. He
Mason Woods has been a difference-maker for #5 Lowndes this season. They are undefeated, playing incredible football, running the gauntlet through arguably the toughest football region in the country, and that all culminates towards tonight’s Winnersville Classic against Valdosta. The emerging junior back has produced at a high level with 1137 rushing yards and 14
Over the last year, Mt. Paran JR offensive lineman Carter Levstek has made some tremendous strides. The most obvious improvement? The heavy 6’5″ 300 lbs. blocker is more physical at the point attack, and that is creating impactful pancake blocks like in last week’s 31-0 win over BEST Academy. For his efforts, Levstek was
Troup County JR Jeremiah Culpepper has stepped into his junior year looking to make a difference. The 6’1″ athlete has around 50 tackles on the year, 11 tackles for a loss, and 8 sacks, along with a defensive touchdown. The ladder defensive score happened last week, where a poor snap sent the pigskin spurting backwards.
Domenic Parker has been a force for Marist this season. The 2027 offensive guard had 20 pancakes on the year, and several more impactful blocks that led to big plays. The offensive line unit has given up just two sacks on the year, and it’s the physicality at the point of attack that makes them
The top matchup for Week 9 in Class A DII was Clinch County vs Brooks County. The top-ranked programs first met in 1959, and starting in 2012, the rivalry game has been an annual matchup. Brooks County has won 9 of the last 12 games, but this season, the undefeated Clinch County had different plans.
Christian Heritage’s experienced JR John Stanley has looked impressive this season, impacting the game all over the field. The 6’3″, 240 lbs. athlete is a standout in the trenches where his versatility impacts both sides of the ball, but also at special teams as a long snapper. Last week against Gordon Central, he was voted
The 2025 season has been a breakout campaign for Screven County junior Drayden Roberts. The explosive playmaker is making an impact in all three phases of the game, helping his team to their best start in years, and playing his best football yet. “My JR has been going well so far, my team is 6-0
The last two seasons’ matchups between Central and Jonesboro have been some of Class 4A’s most competitive games. Both teams are loaded with D1 talent, All-State athletes, and execute at a high level, so it was no wonder that the score would come down to a play or two. That moment arrived with just 11
Northside-Warner Robins JR Aamaury Fountain’s recruitment is catching on fire. The long 6’2″ cornerback prospect is playing lights out football so far this season, and colleges have noticed. This week, the JR has received offers from Duke, Georgia Tech, Howard, FIU, Auburn, Tennessee, and Texas A&M. Fountain discussed the sudden interest, saying, “I feel as

So far this season, Dunwoody’s Chase Casey has impressed. The junior defensive back has 1 interception and 5 pass breakups on defense, while also creating a few explosive plays with the football in his hands, including a wild kickoff return last week against Lumpkin County. The ladder mentioned kick off return was truly remarkable, and
One of the top tacklers in the country right now is Christian Heritage’s Cooper Middleton. The savvy defender is currently 14th in the nation with 39 total tackles and has done more than just stuff the stat sheet, making big plays that make a difference. Just last week, Middleton blocked a punt that advanced about
Week 2’s Player of the Week goes to Newnan JR Brodie Campbell. After throwing for 518 yards and 4 touchdowns in a remarkable 60-56 win over rival East Coweta, the 2027 passer easily walked away with our weekly player of the week vote. Campbell confidently orchestrated a 24-point comeback and made the game-winning touchdown
Stephenson trounced Mays 24-0 to start the season, and junior running back Jayden Johnson had himself a game. The explosive 5’10” 190 lbs. back had 258 yards on just 20 carries and scored all three of his team’s touchdowns. Throughout the game, Johnson demonstrated his excellent power, balance, and top-end speed, breaking off big runs.
Tucker’s Jace German is having a great sophomore campaign helping his team to a 7-2 record with a shot of the region title this Friday against Marist. Of course, the promise to be region champs would for naught if it wasn’t for German’s last-second heroics on Friday against St. Pius. With the game on
In 2023, Jake Godfree was an impact player getting reps on the varsity as a freshman, but now this season, the sophomore is downright defensive dynamite. Godfree is a thumping hitter on the field, always getting a great beat on the play and tackling with thunderous results. The impact plays are consistent, and just
North Cobb is among the best teams in the state, and the emergence of electric skill players like Micah Billingsley provides a lot of optimism as we enter region play. The 5’11” 175 lbs. sophomore receiver is elusive, escaping out of tackles with elite balance, and has the acceleration to beat the pursuit down the
Brunswick sophomore Nigel Gardner has been an explosive element to their offensive attack in 2024. With the longest touchdown of Week 4, Gardner’s 10.77 100m time was tested by running almost the full length of the field in a 90-yard touchdown run. As a freshman, Gardner showcased a lot of potential as he slowly garnered
Sophomore playmaker AB Hilton has emerged this season as an impact player for Screven County. Screven County is 2-1 on the season, and the fleet-footed Hilton has 386 yards, and 4 touchdowns on 57 carries, giving him a 6.3 yards per carry. Hilton’s longest run of the year went for 63 yards, but the most
Walton’s sophomore sensation Alexander Ward is always on the move. Whether he is actively patrolling the defensive secondary, making highlight plays on special teams, or scoring touchdowns at receiver, the class of ’27 athlete is creating the action on the field. There was no better example than last Friday’s game against Lambert. The sophomore lined
George Lamons showed flashes of early excellence during the 2023 season at Brooks County. He was just a freshman, and just cutting his teeth at the varsity level, but showed the athletic upside and physical dominance that the top percentile of recruits display at a young age. To put it succinctly, Lamons is a budding
Jaden Wuerth had a historical freshman season where he led his team with 139 tackles, 36 tackles for a loss, and 14 sacks. Those jaw-dropping stats earned Wuerth All-State honors by the AJC and helped his team to a Region Championship in 2023. The year has turned over, the 2023 football season is in the
Many would consider last Friday’s game for Athens Academy against Providence Christian to be a statement game. Athens Academy thoroughly beat down their once-undefeated opponent by the tune of 51-19, and perhaps no play encapsulates the one-sided nature of the matchup than freshman Keyon Standifer’s kick return. The standout from the class of ’27 handled
