Right before my time there, Hal Hambrick went to Aub. Right after me William Tang & Norman Cowins went to UGA. Recently Ricky Dobbs the very good Navy QB... All I know of from Douglas Co High who played FBS...

Ah, you were before me. I was there from 05-07. I do wonder if that county will ever be relevant in football. They still do the middle school programs and that sets them back.

I guess the Honey Hole dried up for them. They used to say you could walk the halls of DC and see as much DI talent as Valdosta or Northside but most of them are not eligible because they're 19 or 20.

my stepdad says the major problem w/ Douglas county football is that they have too many schools...

in south georgia, you have 1 or 2 schools per county...the talent pool is alot greater...DC and Lithia WERE better before they built Alexander and Chapel Hill...

before Lithia it was even better..see what I mean..spreading each school too thin makes them weak..

plus their rec program is a joke...something that is also better in South Georgia...

Played against Kosta Koufos (Ohio State and now Utah Jazz center) in basketball and Kendall Washington (3 star WR, went to WVU but nothing really came of it) in football. That's all I know of.

EDIT: Koufos is 7'1. Our tallest kid was 6'3. Not a nice matchup. Also, had we won our regional final game in my sophomore year of high school, we would have had to play North College Hill. They were the #1 ranked team in the nation and had OJ Mayo (USC, Grizzlies) and Bill Walker (Kansas State, Celtics)

ight well biggest names i played with C-Rob (UGA), T Bob Hebert (LSU), Lee Chapple (Ga Southern/UNA), Colton Chapple (Harvard's current starting QB), Caleb King (UGA, Vikings, prison), Julian Horton (Arkansas). also played a little with Brannan Southerland (UGA). we had a few more D 1 guys on my team who went to UNC, Vandy, and etc but aren't really well heard of dudes so those are the ones of note.

went up against Josh Nesbitt (GT), Dallas Lee/Kolton Houston (UGA), Omar Hunter (UF) and TJ Pridemore (GT) off the top of my head

ETA: and that abernathy dude for cincinatti, he played for westminster i think and he was hard as shite to tackle

I graduated in '75, the year before LSHS opened. We were on double sessions for the 3 years prior, 1st session was 7:00 til 12:00. 2nd session was 12:30 til 5:30...

We had over 4000 students & were the biggest school in the states for 3 years & only won 1 region Championship...

This is what I was referring to. Their middle schools only allow a certain amount of players out where as Cobb County recs will let anybody out. Plus the coaching at the rec in DC is hit or miss and it's usually a miss.

i think this is one thing Coach Herron has done well in Camden...he actually sponsors one HS/rec practice a year and does a REC night at one of the HS football games every year..he has been here since 2000 and is starting to see the fruits of assisting the REC and making it a culture down here...Camden will be producing good football players for years to come...

in addition, both of the HC at the two middle schools here are assistants on the HS team...both schools run a similar offense as the HS...they all go to Wing T camp every summer...by the time kids get to varsity, they have been in an offense for several seasons...

it is very impressive and super smart imo...
