The regular season went out with a bang, some huge games and a couple of big upsets, so here’s my take on where the teams stand heading into the playoffs. We’ll be back at the end of the playoffs for a final power poll. 1. Calhoun (8-2, No. 3 last week) Big time win last Friday for...

The Cedartown Bulldogs lost to the No. 8 ranked Carrollton Trojans 21-7 last Friday night in the Region 6- AAA , sub-region ‘B’ championship game, but the Bulldogs have nothing to be ashamed of. Cedartown played as hard as they could for 48 minutes and up until the 7:47 mark of the fourth quar...

Before the season started several people – including myself – predicted the Cedartown Bulldogs to have a strong season. Things appeared to start off that way as they whacked Darlington in a scrimmage and downed Rockmart in their annual Polk County rivalry game. But then things went downhill fo...
