The Pickens O linemen should be ranked higher.
Jonah Gambill is spelled wrong on your list.
Apologies
Demeke Colbert Upson Lee
The QB from Perry High should be on here somewhere. Threw for 3000 yards as a SO.
Needs to cut down on turnovers… Noah Cook and Michael Wright were also snubbed
Nate Howard – Mary Persons. Tre Howard hasn’t played in 30 years lol.
Haha thanks… You and Victor Green coming out of retirement to make the preseason All-State team
Don’t sleep on flowery branch
How is Joshua Moore DB at Marist not at the least, honorable mention? Started as a sophomore and finsished the season with 8 ints. (3 in the playoffs). Marist loses in the state semis to Cartersville in a nail biter. And yes Joshua is an A student in the classroom.
Will have more on him this fall, expecting Joshua to have a bigger year on offense this fall
Yes – Go Marist War Eagles! Marist 2021 class is strong
Yes Marist War Eagles class of 2021 is strong
Keep an eye on the FloweryBranch Boys they should both have big years .
Looks like you are going on hype and not production on the field.
Going to have to disagree with that. There are plenty of players listed that have very little hype to them. If you are talking about a specific position, well, I think I would look at what last year’s starters did at said school, and then realized that about 7-8 more D1 caliber players have been added to the roster.
You have a few of of SCHS trailblazers but you are missing several. From the RB to DL. Hope you plan to really take note of the whole 2020 class this season. We are locked & loaded.
Bryson Irby RB Alexander High School
There’s a new kid in Cartersville. WR. Look out for him
Curious… how does the K and P get the ball??? Hint: it’s not the C or the DL/OL and it is a D1 scholarship position. How about a little love for the LS?!?!?
Watch #6 Lagrange DL this season a sleeper
Watch out for trey patterson of denmark he is a great and young developing linebacker.
