High School Football Predictions

Every week, I pick high-school football games that are played in Patch coverage areas from Stone Mountain to Cumming.

Check out this week's predictions, then let us know how you think your team will fare in the comment box below ... if you dare.

Last week’s best pick: Tucker 60, Douglass 6 (actual score: Tucker 60, Douglass 8).

Last week's record: 20-4. Overall record: 97-24.

Are you ready for another round of picks?

at : The original “Battle of Snellville,” this year’s South-Brookwood game has the added importance of playoff positioning in Region 8-AAAAA. Brookwood (3-2, 2-1), the defending Class AAAAA champ, is in need of a victory to keep pace with league’s top teams. The Comets of South Gwinnett (1-4, 1-2) can’t afford another loss at this point. South has shown it can play with anybody, and Brookwood has shown it can be challenged (a tight 21-19 win over Archer two weeks ago was proof of that). If the Brookwood team that beat Central Gwinnett 56-14 last week is the one that shows up Friday, it should be a Broncos win. But don't be surprised by an upset. Brookwood 27, South Gwinnett 20.

Grayson at : Grayson is clearly the best team in Region 8-AAAAA, and maybe even the state. Shiloh will be hard-pressed to keep pace. Grayson 42, Shiloh 14.
