Games of the Week

Baldwin at Ware County

Monday Afternoon QB: Loughdmouthings, ACE, Central Georgia rankings
This week’s Central Georgia schedule changes
This week’s Central Georgia high school football schedule
Last week’s roundup

          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 5A’s 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 “on paper” 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 couldn’t play last year, the old GISA buddies. Both are off nice opening wins, but Stratford’s looking mighty good after one.

TSR pick: Stratford by 20
