    Class 5A

    Creekside vs. Coffee

    When, where: 4 p.m. Wednesday, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta

    Records, rankings: Creekside is 13-1, the No. 1 seed from Region 5-5A and No. 2; Coffee is 14-0, the No. 1 seed from 1-5A and No. 1.

    Last meeting: Creekside won 28-18 in the first round of the 2021 Class 5A playoffs.

    Things to know: This is the only championship game this year between No. 1- and No. 2-ranked teams and the 29th since 1982, when the AJC rankings began (merging the Journal and Constitution polls). The No. 1 team is 16-11-1 in those games. Coffee, ranked No. 1 this season for the first time, can win its first state championship. The Trojans have reached the quarterfinals or better seven of the past eight seasons. The one failure came at the hands of Creekside in the 2021 first round in the final game under former coach Robby Pruitt. Mike Coe, who won five state titles in Florida, took over in 2022. Coffee hangs its hat on defense and ball control. No opponent has scored more than two touchdowns, and five have been shut out, two in the playoffs. Fred Brown is a 2,300-yard rusher who has topped 200 twice in the playoffs (vs. Jones County and Cartersville) and has not been held under 100 this season. Creekside won its lone championship in 2013 and has claimed five region titles since. Creekside suffered its only loss 62-0 against the consensus No. 1 team in the country, Mater Dei, on a California road trip. Creekside is the more balanced team offensively. Roderick McCrary, a two-way starter, has rushed for 1,959 yards. Vinson Berry has thrown for 2,412 yards. Creekside has more top prospects. They include OL Caleb Holmes (Pitt), DL Michai Boireau (Florida) and DB Kevon Gray (Virginia).

    Maxwell Ratings’ projected score: Coffee 24, Creekside 18

    62 - 0 😱  golly!

    Plus MD lost 28-0 to a team that lost to a public from Hawaii. 

    Related, no elite private program should ever have a schedule comprised of 100% public schools. 

    Real MNCs should be undefeated, and have significant wins over several OOS state champs. 

    To MD's defense,  they avenged their only loss in the regular season and they embarrassed that same Hawaiian public school.
