5:00 left in the half....all square at 0-0

52 for Carrollton is a badddddddddd man.

Stud...going to Georgia to play on the OL. Center.

There  are over 20 kids on the field between the two that have either already SIGNED P4/G5 letters of intent and/or juniors that have those offers.

Thing is? It's not just them. Last night for example? Benedictine?  Can go back and watch it, but:

- DE is the #1 Edge guy in the country & signed with Texas Tech

- QB signed with Tx Tech

- 5 hasn't signed yet, but likely going to Tx Tech

- 4 already signed with Notre Dame

- DL (55 I think) already signed with Clemson

- FS signed with App State

- Corner signed with BYU

....and THEY GOT BEAT.....Creekside had/has just as many.

Tomorrow night? Thomas County Central & Gainesville in the 5A Title? They'll be the same way.

....and, that's not counting the schools across all classes who didn't make it who will have anywhere from 1-4 P4 guys, and some with more. 

Buford is the one that opened up their new $62 Million stadium this fall.

 

Needless to say, Carrollton has things going on across the board themselves.

These indoor facilities, full length are becoming more rule than exception. Definitely not in the majority, but within 10 years they will be. Carrollton has one. Central Carroll (county school system) will open theirs up in a few months. 

Tomorrow night? Gainesville and Thomas County Central both have one (Thomas County Central's Athletic/Extracurricular complex was $42 Million).  Hall County? Where Gainesville (Independent) is? Go check out North Hall HS and their 'Brickyard' as they call it.    Thomasville (Thomas Co's Independent system, 2A, also has just opened their own indoor as well.

Colquitt County, Valdosta, Lowndes County, Camden County...all across South GA? All indoor as well. 

 

Wow, "they" review all scoring plays!

14-7 Buford.  Carrollton has turned it over four times.

Yes! Last night Benedictine scored with 1:00 left on the clock & reviewed back to back plays from the 1 yard line. 

Carollton's HC, Joey King,  was Trevor Lawrence (Clemson -> Jax) in high school at Cartersville. Won two state titles there, but hasn't won one yet at Carrollton.

See that catch from Carrollton's RB? That's who they need to get going. No shortage of 'game changers' out there, but he's THE ONE.   He just signed with Liberty....he's listed at 5'8" 185, but I've heard from those  who've coached against him that he might be that with heels on.  If he was 5'10, everybody in the country would want him.

I saw the catch and the short celebration.  And these two teams are loaded with talent everywhere. 

So much for the 0-0 for a half...

Carrollton just scoop and scored (your boy #52, @DearToday ) to tie things up 21 all with 7:00 left in the half!

?

As I told some last night when watching Benedictine/Creekside.....if those two had UGA's unis on & I'd been told it was "UGA's spring game between their redshirts"? I'd have believed them.

Then tonight...even moreso. 

Gainesville and Thomas County Central tomorrow night will be another freak show, too.

I wasn't too thrilled with the commentators so I have them muted but no to be specific.
