CLASS AAAAAA

No. 1 Camden County goes down: Camden had clinched a No. 1 seed in the state playoffs, but don’t think the Wildcats didn’t want to beat Colquitt County to run the table in their first season in a highly competitive Region 1. Instead, it was 10th-ranked Colquitt pulling the upset 13-12. Camden missed an extra point and later a two-point conversion and then failed on a desperation 55-yard fieldgoal attempt in the final seconds. Camden County was ranked in the top five of four national polls, with a high of No. 2 in the CNN/SI rankings. The seedings for the state playoffs in Region 1 remained the same. Camden is No. 1 and will play at home against Hillgrove, and Colquitt is No. 4 and will play on the road at McEachern.

South Gwinnett denies Parkview’s Region title: South Gwinnett upset No. 9 Parkview 16-14 on a field goal in the final seconds. Parkview (7-3) could’ve clinched its first region title since 2004. Parkview drove for the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter, but South Gwinnett had the final say and wound up with the No. 2 seed in Region 8 and a home playoff game this week. Parkview fell to No. 3 in the region standings and must travel in the first round.

Grayson wins Region 8 after all: Grayson, the 2011 champion of AAAAA and the preseason No. 1 in AAAAAA, fell out of the Top 10 briefly after a 22-7 loss to Parkview on Sept. 7. Since then, the Rams have taken it out on seven consecutive opponents, winning by average of 48-7. They gave Brookwood a taste of it 42-13. But Grayson still needed Parkview to lose twice to claim the region title. Parkview slipped to Central Gwinnett 30-27 on Oct. 26, then to South Gwinnett. Robert Nkemdiche rushed for 74 yards and had two sacks.

Playoff teams set: The four state-playoff teams from each region are set. Valdosta elimi- nated Coffee in Region 1 with an impressive 448 victory. ... Rockdale County took Region 2’s fourth playoff berth with an 18-14 victory over Druid Hills. ... Tri-Cities took the final playoff berth in Region 3 with a victory over Douglas County. ... South Cobb has a small chance of slipping in from Region 4, but Hill- grove got the fourth seed despite losing to region champ McEachern 33-30. Hillgrove will travel to angry Camden County in the first round. Make that doubly angry Camden. Hillgrove stunned No. 1ranked Camden in the second round in 2010.
