Lowndes run for its fourth Georgia high school football championship in five years came to a screeching halt Friday night losing to unbeaten Grayson 17-7. Leading the way for the Rams was a tiny running back, who came-up big. 5-3, 135-pound Ean Pemberton rushed for 188-yards and both Grayson touchdowns to move the school into its first state semifinals next week. Lowndes came into the game ranked #4 by USA Today. Click here for game story.

#24 Northside vs. Camden County (11-0) Highlights Round 2 of Georgia Playoffs

By Jeff Fisher
The High School Football Huddle

No one said it would be easy for two-time Georgia AAAA champ Northside-Warner Robins (#24 USA Today Super 25) in 2008. The Eagles not only moved-up to the state's biggest classification after winning back-to-back AAAA titles, but the school also moved to the incredibly tough Region 1-AAAAA, which includes defending champ Lowndes.

Friday night Northside (11-1), which is ranked #5 in the state, squares-off with unbeaten Camden County (12-0), which is ranked #2 in the state, in the second round of the GHSA playoffs. It marks the first time that two top five teams have met in the second round since the state expanded the playoffs in 1990.

Georgia High School Football Playoff Pairings

By Jeff Fisher
The High School Football Huddle

After twelve tough weeks of regular season football, the first round pairings are set for the 2008 Georgia high school football playoffs. All of the #1's in each classification appear to be favorites to win state titles, but before filling out your brackets, you may want to take a look at a fact in the Atlanta Journal Constitution's fun fact that since 1988 only 40% of the #1 teams at the end of the regular season won state titles.

Former Hoover Head Coach Continues to Make Headlines

By Jeff Fisher
The High School Football Huddle

I'm not sure why, but the NY Times love affair with former Hoover, Alabama head football coach Rush Propst continues. Yes, the man that was run out of Alabama for many reasons...including grade-fixing and an extramarital affair has scored another feature in America's premiere newspaper. In Wednesday's NY Times sports section, Probst, the man behind MTV's Two-A-Days while at Hoover, is profiled as he tries to turn around the Colquitt County Packers in southwest Georgia. Click here to read the story.

On a personal note to the NY Times, it seems to me that there are plenty of really great high school football stories to tell that don't involve a self-absorbed, egomaniac!! I guess I'm just as guilty as the Times for pointing out the story, but I'm curious if others are as angry as I am about this guy being promoted over thousands of other feel good stories across America.

Please feel free to comment.
