Lee County at Colquitt County

When, where: 7:30 p.m. Friday, Tom White Field at Mack Tharpe Stadium, Moultrie

Records, rankings: Lee County is 3-0 and No. 3 in Class 5A; Colquitt County is 2-1 and No. 10 in 6A.

Last meeting: Colquitt County won 37-20 in 2023.

Things to know: Lee County is 0-12 all-time against Colquitt County, with most of those games played before Lee became a prominent force statewide. This is the teams’ fourth straight meeting when both are ranked. In the 2023 game, Lee County led 409-265 in total yards but lost three turnovers and had more than 100 penalty yards. Ousmane Kromah rushed for 179 yards. Kromah, an AJC Super 11 player, is back while most of Colquitt’s offensive weapons have graduated. Kromah has rushed for 377 yards, averaging 10.2 per carry. Weston Bryan, a three-year starter committed to Georgia Southern, has thrown for 509 yards. Lee County’s closest game has been a 45-28 victory over Warner Robins. Colquitt lost to fourth-ranked North Gwinnett 14-3 in its last outing. North Gwinnett then scored 37 in a victory against another top-10 team, Mill Creek, so Colquitt is up to speed defensively, but its offense is having the growing pains expected of a team that starts a freshman quarterback, Cohen Lawson, and that graduated two top-100 national players (WR Ny Carr, TE Landen Thomas) and a three-year starting QB (Neko Fann). The 2023 offensive juggernaut averaged 238 yards passing and 198 rushing per game. The current team averages 110 and 176, respectively.

North surprised me to this point. Not on my radar as far as what they have done early. It continues this week as I find Colquitt is down and will find it hard to recover.......period.

After the SFA and AHP beat downs, SoGa may never recover. 

I don’t think so. South Georgia beats their chest with false bravado, but then schedules the worst OOS teams they can find, or teams that aren’t horrible, but just had enough to not be able to lose to them. 
 

Those teams would never schedule a top national team again

And CQ scheduled DF on a down season.

They also play the smaller schools in the immediate area for non-region, which pads their record. That ensures their high rating.

In the 2023 game between these two, Thomas County Central’s Jaylen Johnson threw a 25-yard TD pass to Tre’von Pringle for a 31-24 lead with 6:03 left, and Lee County was tackled on the 3-yard line on the last competitive play. Ousmane Kromah rushed for 183 yards, had four receptions for 54 yards and scored two touchdowns. Thomas Central coach Justin Rogers has called Kromah the best player he has faced in his coaching career. Back for his senior season, Kromah has rushed for 605 yards and seven touchdowns.

Camden County at Valdosta

    
When, where: 8 p.m. Friday, Cleveland Field at Bazemore-Hyder Stadium, Valdosta

Records, rankings: Camden County is 5-0 overall, 0-0 in Region 1-6A and No. 4; Valdosta is 5-0, 0-0 and No. 9.

Last meeting: Valdosta won 24-21 in 2023.

Things to know: Camden County and Valdosta are the two top-10 teams in a region with four undefeated teams. This is their first meeting when both are ranked since 2014, when No. 5 Valdosta beat No. 2 Camden County 13-10. (Camden was 5-0 entering that game and finished 5-5, losing four games by six points or fewer.) In the 2023 game, Valdosta’s Tomas Lopez kicked a 23-yard field goal on the final play. Camden County had tied the score 21-21 with 90 seconds left on Parks Riendeau’s 12-yard TD pass to Elyiss Williams on fourth-and-8. The Camden pair returns. Riendeau has thrown for 1,030 yards and 13 touchdowns, six to Williams, a five-star tight end with 33 receptions for 457 yards. Under first-year coach Travis Roland, Camden is passing for 213.4 yards per game and rushing for 186.6. Valdosta’s offense is even more closely balanced (201.4 passing, 206.6 rushing). Todd Robinson has thrown for 950 yards and 11 touchdowns and rushed for 305 yards and six touchdowns. Robinson and Camden’s Williams are the game’s most highly recruited players. Both are committed to Georgia. This game’s winner might be the region front-runner. Valdosta most recently won a region title in 2016. Camden most recently won in 2013.
