Games of the Week

Class 6A
Veterans (1-4/5A) at Houston County (3-3)
Can Houston County show some consistency and feel some momentum after a big win last week over No. 9/7A Newton? Can Veterans avoid the snake bites that have left marks in the two losses to West Laurens and Oconee County?
TSR pick: Houston County by 9 (upset watch)

Class 5A
Warner Robins (5-0) at Camden County (4-2/7A)
Well, here we go again, Warner Robins playing another bigger school with a winning record. Camden County is unranked, and the Demons have hammered bigger ranked teams. The Demons loooong ride is the best thing going for the Wildcats.
TSR pick: Warner Robins by 30

Class 4A
Spalding (4-1/1-0) at Perry (4-0/1-0)
This wasn’t supposed to be a battle of the top contenders at this point of the season, but here Spalding is, feeling good after controlling West Laurens. Alas, Jags, Perry isn’t West Laurens, and this is at The Pit.
TSR pick: Perry by 22

Class AA
Northeast (3-1) at Washington County (4-0/1-0)
The round-robin 3-AA championship tournament begins, and it’ll leave marks with teams of physicality and size. The Raiders were off last week, and the Golden Hawks have played three straight weeks and gotten better each week. A worth-the-drive game.
TSR pick: Washington County by 11

Notables
Class 4A
West Laurens (2-3/0-1) at Howard (2-2)
Both teams are hard to figure out, between breaks in action and losses. These are the two most in line for the fight for fourth, and to stay alive for a shot at third in Region 4. And neither has anything resembling momentum. So it should be a battle.
TSR pick: West Laurens by 5

Class AAA
Crisp County (2-3/1-1) at Mary Persons (3-2/1-1)
The Bulldogs should be 4-1, and the Peach County loss was more competitive than people think. And the gap is closer with Crisp County and Mary Persons than with Crisp County and Peach County.
TSR pick: Mary Persons by 3 (Upset special)

Class A Public
ACE (1-2/1-0) at Crawford County (0-4/0-1)
The Gryphons have momentum and confidence. Will they have overconfidence? Can the Eagles must up confidence against a team they lost to 30-13 last year?
TSR pick: ACE by 9

Class A Private
Stratford (4-0) at Calvary Day (6-0)
The Eagles don’t have the hype of Calvary Day, nor the ranking, nor the college prospects. The Cavs might overlook the Eagles a bit.
TSR pick: Stratford by 4 (Upset special)
