TFR Week-11 Cherokee County Football Preview

With only two weeks left in the regular season, there are still a lot of races to be determined. Can Creekview find its way back into the playoff picture? Where will Etowah and Lassiter end up in the standings? Can Sequoyah down Harrison and muddle things up in Region 6-6A. They will have a great chance as they face a Hoya squad without their star quarterback. The playoff picture will get a little clearer this weekend.

In any event, it should be great weather Friday night for high school football in Cherokee and Cobb County. Bundle up and get out and watch these young men compete as they round out the season!

TFR Week-10 High School Preview Bonus Game

Earlier in the pre-season. The Pickens Dragons said that TFR was sleeping on them. We at TFR “sleep” on no team. We have certain ideas of how a season or a game will play out but, the games must be played, meaning most teams will have a chance to earn wins week in and week out. The Pickens Dragons will travel to Rossville to take on the Ridgeland Panthers, a top-10 power. Pickens has an explosive offense that can score points in bunches. Ridgeland has a defense that has stymied opponents; relinquishing only 6 points per game. A Pickens win muddles up the playoff picture. A Ridgeland win would all but wrap up the region. Our preview is below.

Please feel free to comment and share. Best of luck to both teams competing tonight.

TFR Week-10 Cherokee County Football Preview

This week we preview five county teams that will take the field this Friday night. By our counts, there are 3 county teams that are vying for a post season playoff spot. They are 7-A Woodstock and Roswell, and 6-A Sequoyah. Getting victories over the next few weeks will certainly be paramount for these teams as they vie for a playoff spot, or to improve their current region positioning.

Even though Creekview, River Ridge and Cherokee are all but eliminated from post-season contention, they still are still intent on finishing the season on a high note. Make sure you get out and support all of our county teams as the we enter the home stretch of the regular season.

As always, please feel free to comment or let us know of any egregious errors. Thanks for reading!

Week 10 – Turd Furgeson Report Top-10

Last week provided us with some great match-ups and provided a little more clarity into the region races. It was a week with a few surprises involved. IN 7-A we saw Grayson go down to Archer in a defensive battle while Lowndes outlasted Tift County. In 6-A Lee County edged Northside, Warner Robins in overtime. While Langston Hughes upset Alexander in two-overtimes. Perhaps in the biggest upset of the weekend, Hiram beat Carrollton 41-14. Class 4-A Woodward Academy outlasted Eastisde, Covington 28-21, on what some would consider a questionable fumble call when Eastside was driving. In the only top 10 battle in 3-A, Morgan County beat Monroe Area by 1 to claim control in Region 8. Heard County beat Callaway in a back and forth battle in class 2-A. There were no surprises of note in Class-A

Only two new entrants into the poll this week, they are both in Class 6-A, Dalton and Richmond Hill both make their debut into the poll this week. Enjoy the poll and please feel free to comment and let us know of any corrections that might be necessary.

TFR High School Preview Bonus Games

There are two games that we thought were extremely intriguing that don’t involved ranked teams in the GWSA poll, they are both rivalry games and both involve teams at the top of their region. In Class 2-A Pepperell travels to Rockmart to take on the Yellow Jackets and in Class 6-A Brunswick and Glynn Academy battle for the “City Championship” down in Brunswick. There is great football across our great state regardless of classification. If you are in ear shot of either of these games, I strongly recommend that you check them out. They should be very competitive and entertaining. Best of luck to all teams competing this Friday!
