Brookwood is back in action this Friday after taking last week off to lick wounds from a loss in the Corky Kell Classic to Lassiter. It will be interesting to see if head coach Mark Crews sticks with junior Zach Moon under center or if he switches things up and goes with D.J. Brown, a wide receiver who played a few snaps in a “Bucking Bronco” wildcat-formation.
Moon helped Brookwood to an early lead, but Brown offered a different look from the shotgun formation while flanked by both Jamaal Cole and Nick Tompkins. Crews could throw out of the wishbone formation as well, and completely take teams by surprise as region play picks up this year. The Broncos face Collins Hill, a team it beat twice last year en route to a state title.
Collins Hill, meanwhile, went from a run-heavy system featuring Charles Perkins to a pass-happy scheme highlighting Taylor Heinicke last season. Through one game this season, it appears as though the 2011 Eagles will be a combination of the two philosophies. Bradley Johnson-to-Nick England will probably be seen a lot this year in the passing game, but don’t discount the legs of Jordan Parker. The senior running back toted the ball 24 times in the GPB Game of the Week last week for over 200 yards and a pair of scores. The three-pronged attack could earn Collins Hill a home playoff game or two.
Finally, Calvary Day lost two of three games in the Watermelon Classic over the weekend, but managed to take out Americus-Sumter 15-0 behind a no-hitter from Maggie Davis. She also contributed two hits in the win.
