At halftime, it all looked rather bleak for Kennesaw Mountain. The Mustangs had fallen down 17-7 to Pope, and the offense was looking for a spark. Kennesaw Mountain and Pope both came into the matchup with just one loss in the column and were looking to edge ahead in the region standings. There was a
Hephzibah junior Eric Grant has jumped onto the scene this year making highlight-reel catches. Just last Friday, the 2023 recruit made one of the top high-pointed catches of the 2021 season. Hephzibah was in the redzone, so they decided to flank Grant off to the right to get favorable coverage. The ball was tossed into
Moussa Barry is a senior out of Dacula who has been making a big impact this fall for the Falcons. Last week, Barry ran a fly route down the left sideline with tight coverage over top. The 6’3″ Barry leaped up, acrobatically adjusted to the football mid-flight, and then high-pointed the ball with one hand.
Crisp County sophomore CJ Jones earned one of the top plays in the state last week. The talented junior came up big against Peach County creating two interceptions, one that he returned all the way back for a score, which helped Crisp County take down the (at the time) #4 team in our 3A rankings,
Jordan McKenzie’s highlights during his senior year have certainly caught our eye. One week he is making impressive high-pointed catches with the defender all over him, and the next week he is on defense delivering bigger hits than Kanye’s new album. It was last week’s game against Dublin where McKenzie was lined up on the
TJ Harvison is a junior out of Villa Rica that has really impressed over the last few years. The imposing 6’2″ athlete plays both running back and some linebacker for his team. He is always just a play away from making a momentum-swinging play, and just last week, he did exactly that. Catching a screen
The class of ’22 at Spalding is a good one, and running back Nazir Berry is a major part of their core. The senior back stands 5’10” and 190 lbs. and once he gets the ball into his hands anything can happen. That was the case last weekend where Berry took a carry from his
Darius Cannon returned a kick back for a touchdown during Week 1 of this season that made him look like he was shot out of a literal cannon. He earned a spot in our Weekly Top 10 plays of the week mainly due to the impressive speed on his return, but last week the junior
Jack Schondelmayer’s SR film Walter Blanchard’s JR film We wrote at the beginning of the season that Brookstone could prove to be the underdogs of Class A Private. Going into Week 7, they are 4-1 and currently ranked #9 in the classification. They have exceeded expectations, even our own, but that has been the theme
Naz Easter is a senior out of Troup County that is playing some terrific football this season. The 6’1″ 180 lbs. safety has made several explosive plays so far this season that almost made our top 10 plays of the week, and in Week 5 Easter made the list. The senior was playing a shallow
Brendan Jenkins out of Mill Creek is a promising class of ’23 receiver who has several breakout games against both West Forsyth and Norcross in the first half of the 2021 season. The 6’2″ receiver made his top play of the season so far against the former, and that earned him the #2 play of
Luke Brown out of North Hall made a kick to remember last week against Chestatee. With just a few seconds on the clock and North Hall down 21-20, the senior was put into the pressure cooker with the entire gaming hanging in the balance. A missed field goal and North Hall starts the
After a strong sophomore year, Discovery’s junior tailback Jacob Davis has burst onto the scenes this fall and is currently the #8 rusher in the state with 561 yards. Last week, he piled up 200 yards against Lakeside-DeKalb, but it was one specific play that caught our eye. Discovery was lined up at midfield
Keyjuan Brown out of South Atlanta is a dynamic junior with already 2353 career rushing yards and 28 total touchdowns. He already has totaled 340 yards this fall in just two games, giving him a 170-yard average plus 7 touchdowns. The preseason 2A All-State running back is averaging a whopping 12.6 yards per carry
Kennesaw Mountain’s Justin Ested has kicked off his senior year making a lot of noise on the field. What originally started as preseason All-State buzz back in August has now turned into an audible roar with the class of 2022 edge-rusher making his case as one of the top uncommitted seniors still available. Ested
Senquavious Alsobrooks is a tough class of 2022 athlete playing good football during the start of his senior year. For the last few years, Alsobrooks has found a way to make big impact plays in all three aspects of the game playing on offense, defense, and specials teams. During Week 3, Alsobrooks found himself making
Nick Richardson was not a player we had on our radar prior to the season, but it is apparent that the freshman out of Bremen is going to be a big part of their offense in 2021. Richardson stands 5’10” and looks to be at 140 lbs. soaking wet, but the freshman is a natural
Brooks Pangle (RG Profile) passing to Davin Driskell (RG Profile) the last two seasons has held defensive coordinators captive late at night finding ways to stop the dynamic class of 2022 combination. For Lakeside-Evans, their defensive coordinator will continue to have flashbacks to last week’s game-deciding touchdown. There was just 40 seconds left on the
ELCA’s RJ Johnson is a promising junior receiver who has made a splash this fall making highlight catches and playing tough defense. The 2023 athlete had a strong output his sophomore year, but it’s clear that Johnson has emerged as one of top targets now at ELCA for QB Charlie Gilliam. Going back to Week
Long County has already started off their 2021 season better than last fall with a strong win over Bacon County in Week 2 with a score of 44-29. A team that beat the ‘Men of Ludowici’ just the year prior 33-7, was taken down, and in large part, it was the exploits of senior Dwayne
Week 2 had some crazy plays, but I think the rightful winner of the #RGTop10 occurred with Fitzgerald’s trick play on a two-point conversion that tied the game late. Which eventually led to an 18-15 overtime win over the #1 team in Class A Public. You know you have hit it big time when GHSF
Photo credit: Zach Shugan/Herald In just the first two weeks of the season, Robbie Roper has gone from a relatively unknown commodity to one of the more talked about signal-callers in the state of Georgia. The surge in media hype is justified, and just two games into the season the 6’3″ 2022 quarterback has thrown
Stephenson Senior Rahim Diarrassouba has balled out in the early season making plays on all sides of the football. The 6′ athlete who was a standout on Stephenson’s State Champion Track & Field team has been gliding by defenses since his junior year, but the senior has a new vibe in fall 2021. “I think
Brandon Moss entered the 2021 season fresh off an All-Region year playing on the defensive side of the ball. The 6′ 190 lbs. Fayette Co. senior has upped his game this fall, and in Week 1 Moss made one of the top plays in the state of Georgia on the offensive side of the ball.
Earning the #1 spot in the top 10 plays for Week 1 was Milton’s Bryce Thornton. The speedy junior playmaker is not a new name for the RG Top 10, he made it last season on a 60-yard rush, but this is a first for him taking the #1 spot in Georgia. Going against Hapeville
