Coming off a tough loss to open region play, Elijah Staley an Wheeler (2-2, 0-1) travel to Milton High (4-0, 1-0) in Roswell, GA for their second region match up. Unfortunately for Elijah, things don't get any easier. Milton is rolling so far this season. In 4 games, their D is allowing just 12.5 points per game. Of the 50 points they have allowed, half came in the opening game against Alpharetta. The Offense has been explosive, averaging 43 points a contest.

Wheeler's big challenge will be stopping Treyvon Paulk, a 3* commit to Tennessee. Listed at 5'9", 191 and a 4.37 - he had 468 yards and 8 TD's in the first 3 games.

Nick Fitzgerald and the Richmond Hill Wildcats travel 50 miles down the coast to open Region 3-AAAAA play at Glynn Academy. The Red Terrors are normally one of the top 2-3 teams in the region, but this year may be different. Sitting at 1-2, GA has looked down right awful in their two losses. This was a tight game last year - with Nick catching the game winning TD in the final seconds, but GA lost 22 seniors from that team and has looked young starting the season.

Glynn has pieced together similar numbers to Richmond Hill, rushing for 525 in its three games and throwing for 277 for an 802 total. Junior quarterback Zach Lamper has led the aerial assault with 258 yards passing on 22 completions with two touchdowns, and senior Kenneth Cross has 173 yards rushing on 30 carries to lead the GA ground attack. Two-way standout Emmett Thomas has contributed 126 yards on the ground on just six carries, and he and Cross have scored all four of GA's rushing TDs.

The Red Terror D has been solid, but has worn down from too much time on the field as the offense suffers from 3 and outs. The GA offense has been prone to turnovers and mistakes that quickly stall the offense. A good preview from the Savannah paper http://savannahnow.com/bryan-county-...y#.UkSInNKkobg

From what I have seen in Glynn's 2 losses, if Richmond Hill gets them down by 10, Glynn will quit. That viewpoint is putting some local heat on the head coach. If Richmond Hill pounds them with an attacking running game, and stuffs the run on D, they will demolish Glynn Academy.

I'll be in my seats on the home-side 45, and will attempt to keep stats and update on any big plays from Nick. I'll try to get a couple of pics or video and post after the game.

Hail State!
