Are you ready for another round of picks?

at Grayson: Talk of this game has included the feuding trash-talk videos — “” by Grayson students, and then a . That’s fun and all, but don't count on either team to get caught up in all of that. The outcome of this game may have an impact on the Region 8-AAAAA championship. Grayson (8-0, 6-0) will win it outright by beating the Broncos (6-2, 5-1). A Brookwood win would give the Broncos the head-to-head tiebreaker if they finish tied with the Rams. It’s hard to find a chink in Grayson’s armor. The Rams haven’t been challenged by any team in the region. Brookwood has won five in a row and can win this game if it stays engaged the whole way. Grayson has a way of capitalizing on an opponent's mistake, then rolling it into several more scores. I may be the only person outside of Snellville to say this, but why not?  Grayson, where you at? Brookwood 28, Grayson 27.

Central Gwinnett at : Remember earlier in the season when Central Gwinnett was 3-0 and scoring 50 points per game? Well, the Black Knights (3-5) haven’t won since. Shiloh (2-7) have shown some flashes that this isn’t the same old group of Generals. Points will roll up in this one. Shiloh 40, Central Gwinnett 38.

Note: is idle this week.
