Fellowship’s Josh Milhollin has been playing excellent football his senior year with 18 catches, 393 all-purpose yards, and 4 touchdowns. The nice start to the season for the Army commit highlights an excellent career where Milhollin has been among the best playmakers in the lower classifications since his sophomore year. Last week against Rabun County,
Gainesville is at the top of 6A with a 6-0 start to the year. Part of their success has been their impressive line of scrimmage on both sides of the football, and junior center Wil Turner is among many who stand out. Turner is a bashing center who does a good job with his hand
Heritage senior Dion Dean had one of the most impressive games of the season last week against Loganville where he amounted to 350 all-purpose yards and 5 touchdowns. The wide receiver was unstoppable through the air totalling 250 yards on 13 catches and was named a standout on the website. Soon after Dean was voted
Last week, Zachary Manning out of Druid Hill had some last-minute heroics to get his team into overtime and eventually pull off a 21-20 win over SE Whitfield.

The 6’3″ 265 lbs. offensive lineman’s dominating play just recently earned him our Lineman of the Week. “My junior year has been full of great achievements on and off the field,” the junior said.

South Paulding was looking for some answers on offense headed into the 2023 season and senior CJ Carrington has jumped into the picture as an impact player. The 5’10” 190 lbs. athlete has been making impressive plays in space and that was never more true than last week’s top play. South Paulding was at midfield
North Forsyth might have themselves one of the best QB to WR connections in the state with juniors Elijah Seaney and Brady Holbrook.

Keundris Williams is a Harlem wide receiver who is having a statement season. His big-time playmaking knows no boundaries, and just last week in a big win against Aquinas, Williams made an important kick return to take back momentum. With the game about halfway through, Williams took a kickoff down the right sideline blowing
David Postell might not literally dunk on defenders as the ‘posterizing’ title might suggest, but I would argue that the senior did the football equivalent last week to his rival South Paulding. The East Paudling senior sent guys flying in their big win last week and was announced to our Bully Squad for Week 5.
Savannah Christian’s Kenry Wall is playing outstanding this year. The junior has 16 carries for 222 yards and 3 rushing touchdowns while also catching 210 yards on 10 receptions and an additional 3 more scores through the air.

A junior interior offensive lineman to know about in the class of ’25 is Ty Oglesby out of Jefferson. The tough 6’2″ 260 lbs. center is a relentless blocker with two years of experience now under his belt for the top-rated Jefferson team in 5A. Oglesby made our Week 4 Bully Squad and eventually was
Pierce County finds themselves ranked #5 in our 2A polls in the first third of the season. Senior outside linebacker Carson Sloan, a Preseason All-State pick by GHSF Daily, has been an important piece to this year’s undefeated start.

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.
Junior year is off to a great start for Westlake’s Travis Smith. The 6’4″ receiver has been instrumental in their 3-0 start to the year where he has made several highlight-reel caliber catches.

Therrell junior Ahmad Bridges has been a playmaker from the moment he stepped on campus. “I would describe my junior year so far as nothing less than amazing; we have a great group of guys this year,” Bridges said. Just last week, the ‘Boogey’ Bridges broke loose for a huge run that was originally a
Lothan McBride’s HS career is off to an exciting start. The 5’10” athlete from the Academy of Richmond County has been impressive and already making varsity defenders look silly in space. From watching his early film, what really stands out is the reactivity of McBride’s feet. He so smoothly weaves around the pursuit, stopping quickly
One of the big improvers in the class of ’24 has to be Clarke Central’s Garrett Hess. Over the last year, the big 6’6″ 300 lbs. offensive lineman has made a tremendous jump in his execution, fundamentals, and general power at the point of attack. The fruits of his labor is already being seen, and
