Thomson at Carver-Columbus
Thomson faces a rare opening round road game as they cross the state to visit Carver-Columbus. Each team boasts a 9-1 record with a loss to perennial state powers Washington County and LaGrange, with the Bulldogs coming off of their first losing effort of the season. This is a tough pick, as the Tigers have a somewhat more impressive resume, but you can’t discount Thomson’s experience in the postseason. Carver’s a little new to this whole playoff thing, so I expect the Bulldogs to overcome the long trip and come away with the victory.
Thomson - 16, Carver - 13
Starr’s Mill at Ware County
After springing the big upset to secure the region’s number one seed, Ware County has to turn right back around and play host to a first round state playoff game. The Gators have been on a roll since losing to Effingham, but it may be a little misleading since they haven’t really played anybody (aside from Statesboro, of course). Starr’s Mill is a decent team, but they do seem to be a pretty secure four seed, seeing how they lost to all three teams seeded ahead of them. That also leads me to believe they’ll be taking their big flag and going home for the year on Friday night.
Ware County - 20, Starr’s Mill - 13
Union Grove at Windsor Forest
The Knights are actually hosting a first round game at Memorial Stadium this year, which is absolutely mind blowing in and of itself. But what really gets me is the fact that they got about the best draw they could ask for in doing so. At 6-4, Union Grove is hardly a great team, and by the looks of things, they don’t seem to have much of an offense, either. And Windsor has been pretty solid on defense as well, which means the Knights should be able to hang around for most of the evening. But in the end, they probably won’t be able to put enough drives together to advance against a team that has faced better competition this year.
Union Grove - 17, Windsor Forest - 7
