Games of the Week
Baldwin at Ware County
Burly showdown between ranked 5A and 4A teams. Can Baldwin handle this long a regular-season road trip and a highly-ranked higher-classification opponent? And a dandy QB?
TSR pick: Ware County by 11
Coffee at Houston County
A region-like game with 5Aās No. 3 coming to Freedom Field. The Bears rebounded nicely against Crisp County, and have some momentum.
TSR pick: Coffee by 3
Perry at Crisp County
The Panthers sure upgraded after a cancellation, getting a serious road test from a 3A contender. And the Cougars get a nice test of losing to Houston County, which has lost to Perry.
TSR pick: Perry by 11
Notables
Bleckley County at Toombs County
Can the Royals knock off another higher-classification team?
TSR pick: Bleckley County by 8
Dodge County at West Laurens
Little seems to have changed with the Indians other than the head coach. Players making plays.
TSR pick: Dodge County by 9
Washington County at Thomson
The phrase āon paperā means little in this series, with it 5-5 the last 10, but the timing favors the home team.
TSR pick: Thomson by 10
Westfield at Stratford
Too bad they couldnāt play last year, the old GISA buddies. Both are off nice opening wins, but Stratfordās looking mighty good after one.
TSR pick: Stratford by 20
