Way overrated

I live in Thomasville and was at the game. A few observations….

1. These North Ga mountain boys are slow and white….I mean ALL white. Looked like a large GISA school. After spending a good amount of time up in the North Ga hills, I know why White County was named White Co. Thomasville High is like 80%….uh….non-white. Compared to Thomasville’s speed, Rabun looked like they were running in sand.

2. Stockton tried to do too much by himself. He didn’t get any help, either. His line couldn’t block and his receivers were blanketed for the most part. When he tried to run, Thomasville wouldn’t allow it. He only broke one run all night, and it was for like 20 yards.

3. Eighteen penalties on Rabun. Mostly of the false start and holding variety. Thomasville does a pre-snap shift on defense like UGA does and Rabun bit on it and false started a lot.

4. Rabun couldn’t stop the inside zone run. They went with a 3 man front the whole game and never adjusted when it was evident that it wasn’t working. Thomasville, who usually throws a lot….their coach was Rush Propst’s OC at Colquitt Co. until 2016….didn’t have to do much but keep running the ball.
