Dome Weekend

Shaw vs. Carver-Columbus (Friday 9 am)

Both programs hail from Region 2. Carver is a new to this. A program that has produced solid college prospects has never had a tremendous amount of success. Shaw has been here before and is one of the premier programs year in, year out in Southwest Georgia. The funny thing is the best team from their region has been sitting at home for 2 weeks. Both teams have athletes but I will pinpoint this game to experience. Shaw 16-14

Peach Co. vs. Washington Co. (Friday Noon)

Highlighted as one of the best games of the weekend, this should be a great matchup. Washington Co. has found no problem after losing its coach to Valdosta. They run the ball effectively and have dominated in the playoffs after playing a weak region schedule. Peach Co. has one of the better QB's in the state and have athletes everywhere. Washington Co. has quietly accumulated the 2nd most Dome appearances of any school. Peach Co. has recently made the dome a regularity. Peach might have won the state 2 weeks ago in LaGrange. Peach Co. 43-29

Dublin vs. Lovett (Friday 3 pm)

There have been many to argue that Dublin is the best team in the state. The offense put up the most points in Georgia State history in the regular season. They run and pass with great success. Lovett has taken a very easy path to the dome and hail from the same refion as GAC and Buford, who did not make it to the dome. Coach Muschamp, former SCDS coach, has done a great job with Lovett but theres not much he can do in this one. Dublin is good. Dublin 49-14

Northside WR vs. St. Pius X (Friday 6 pm)

St. Pius makes its first appearance in the dome. Paul Standard has done a great job competing with Marist and has translated into success on the state level. Northside is one of the best programs in the state and might have one of its best teams ever. BC has a tie through both of these teams with Standard turning the BC job down and Northside being a part of Benedictine lore. Just keep in mind when watching Standard getting interviewed, that he probaly doesn't regret staying at Pius but there isn't a Hillard's in Atlanta. They will keep it close early but Northside has more athletes. Northside 29-14

Marist vs. East Paulding (Friday 9pm)

East Paulding is one of the bigger surprises to make it to the dome. Not making any noise in recent years, they have crusied through the playoffs. Marist benefited from an injury to Eric Berry last week but absolutly dominated the game on offense. A swift combination of a big Lyons and a quick Lanier make the Marist running attach as potent as ever. The QB might be the best player on the team though. Both teams are sound in the kicking game and I think East Paulding will surprise some people with their performance. Turnovers will decide it. Marist 21-17 (OT)
