“They’re a really good football team. They’re a team that, honestly, is probably going to win our region if everything plays out the way it probably will. We’ve got to find a way over the next few weeks to play some better football so we can extend our season.” – Providence Christian head coach Jonathan Beverly said to the Gwinnett Daily Post about Private No. 8 Holy Innocents’ after the Bears rolled over the Storm 45-7.

“Mount Vernon is a good football team and they do a great job and they made plays and we didn’t. Winning teams block, tackle, take care of the football and don’t give up explosive plays and right now we’re struggling to do those things. We’ve got a young team and so we have to continue to grow and get better.” – Hebron Christian head coach Stan Luttrell told the Gwinnett Daily Post following his team’s 24-7 loss to the Mustangs.

“Our expectations are to win the region of course, and I don’t think we should lose another game on the schedule. I’m a little biased, but we should just go there and execute every week and we should be fine. I’m more worried about winning than how I do individually. Whatever I can do to help the team win is what I’m going to do.” – Darlington senior ATH Patrick Shelley said to the Rome Tribune. The 6-4, 180-pounder has led Private No. 9 Darlington to a record of 6-1 this season. He is also a standout combo guard for the Tigers on the basketball court.

“We thought our defense would come back strong, bringing back five starters from last year. But we don’t necessarily have superstars, we just have a good, stinking solid team.” – Private No. 3 Prince Avenue Christian (6-1) head coach Greg Vandagriff said to the Athens Banner Herald of his team, the reigning Private state champions. The Wolverines have outscored opponents by an average score of 44-11 this season.
