Camden County Knocks Out Marietta

The Blue Devils' successful football season ends with a playoff loss to the nation's sixth-ranked team.

Marietta’s football revival came to an end for this season with a 48-7 loss to Camden County in the second round of the Georgia High School Association’s AAAAA playoffs. The host Wildcats (12-0) showed Marietta why they’re ranked sixth in the nation by USA Today. Camden County running back J.J. Green scored on a 63-yard run on the third play of the game, the Florida Times-Union reported, and the Wildcats quickly added a field goal and another touchdown after the defense forced a fumble and a Marietta punt. Marietta trailed 24-0 at halftime and 34-0 after three quarters. The Blue Devils avoided becoming the Wildcats’ fourth consecutive shutout victim, and sixth of the season, when senior quarterback Anthony Jennings hit Marcus Bennett with …

Thomas, you're absolutely right, I have it on my budget to do a follow up to note that LCA lost to CCA. With a total of 7 schools in this region, this first year it was impossible to cover all of them but I intend to see if I can find a way to improve on that next year. Do you have any suggestions on people from the ICSGA who could provide scores going forward? I would appreciate any help I can …   more ›

Marietta Heads into Playoffs with Win

The Blue Devils will host Centennial in the first round.

Marietta’s football team beat Cherokee, 27-6, Friday night to head into the state playoffs on a positive note and avoid a losing record for the regular season. After losing their showdown for the Region 5-AAAAA title last week against Walton, 42-14, the Blue Devils bounced back at home. They smothered the Warriors’ offense while being efficient on offense behind sophomore quarterback Jordan Mathis, filling in for injured starter Anthony Jennings, the Marietta Daily Journal reported. The game had no effect on Marietta’s seeding in the Georgia High School Association’s AAAAA playoffs but put the Blue Devils back on track after Walton ended their four-game winning streak. Marietta ended the season 5-5 overall and 5-1 in 5-AAAAA. As the No. 2 …
