Carver-Columbus sophomore Artimas Samuel is a WR prospect for the 2012 class. In his highlight tape, he shows that even though he is an underclassman, he can definitely make some plays. Make sure to stick around to at least around 25 seconds in to see Samuel showing off his blocking skills on a long touchdow]]> Thu, 26 Nov 2009 23:21:00 GMT 2011 OL prospect Alan Posey is big: 6-foot-6, 305 pounds to be exact. So surely he is ready for a day where he can sit back, relax, and eat as much Thanksgiving dinner as he possibly can. That is not the case, though. The junior player is extremely hungry, but it is another kind of hunger that is driving him on this Thanksgiving break. His Athens (Ga.) Clarke Central team will be hosting North Clayton in the quarterfinals this Friday. And you can count on Posey not eating too much on Turkey Day. He's hungry for a win]]> Thu, 26 Nov 2009 15:06:00 GMT Great pass protection has been one of several keys for North Gwinnett's winning ways this year. Quarterback C.J. Uzomah often has ample time to find a receiver and in the Bulldogs' offense, time in the pocket is essential. Nobody knows about that like Jawuan James (pictured), the 6-foot-6 OT in charge of taking care of Uzomah's blind side. And the Tennessee commit does his job wel]]> Thu, 26 Nov 2009 03:52:00 GMT 2011 Milton point guard Shannon Scott is a five-star prospect and one of the best players in Georgia.

King High School cornerback Cory Phillips was one of the most talented players on one of the most talented Georgia teams. And though his season ended a little earlier than he had hoped, he has some offers to soften the blo]]> Wed, 25 Nov 2009 19:19:00 GMT Across Georgia, high school football players and coaches are preparing for Friday's quarterfinal games, even if it means missing out on a lazy Turkey Day. While most people are at home enjoying their deep-fried turkey and mashed potatoes and gravy, these athletes are practicing all through the Thanksgiving holiday. So why should GAVarsity.com not extend the same courtesy? We are working right through the break to give you a dose of high school football on Thanksgiving. Or should we say, a big helping of mashed potatoes and GAV]]> Wed, 25 Nov 2009 18:32:00 GMT 2011 RB/DB prospect Brian Randolph has offers from UGA, Georgia Tech, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt.

Henry County wide receiver Shavarez Smith and his team lost in the first round of the playoffs. The 6-foot-1, 200 pound senior says he is disappointed his team ended the season with a loss, but he is expecting a couple offers that should help alleviate that disappointment. After that, he is hoping to get a couple mor]]> Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:16:00 GMT 1 in 199. That's about how many Georgia high school football players sign with Division 1 schools to play college ball. That is a ton of Georgia high schoolers, like Florida State's 2009 signee Greg Reid, heading onto the college ranks. But how does that compare with the other high school football heavyweights like California, Texas, Louisiana, and Ohio? Come inside to find ou]]> Mon, 23 Nov 2009 22:06:00 GMT There are only eight teams left in each of Georgia classification's state playoffs, but no class has the teams that 5A does. Not many classes in the country have the teams that Georgia 5A does. That was reflected in the new RivalsHigh 100, which has six of the eight remaining teams, like Austin Shepherd and North Gwinnett, ranked nationally. Lassiter enters the rankings for the first time this season]]> Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:04:00 GMT Lassiter quarterback Hutson Mason has been breaking Georgia state passing records all season long. Add one more to that list: the senior passed the 4,000 yard mark last Friday against South Gwinnett. But Mason is not stopping there. There is a good chance that he could hit 5,000 passing yards before it is all said and don]]> Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:39:00 GMT There is no secret as to what the Buford Wolves' goal is every game: punish the opponent with physical play and control the ball. They followed through with that game plan, but a talented Jefferson offense almost overcame that. If not for a turnover late in the game, the Wolves may have been looking at overtime rather than the 30-22 win they got in regulation]]> Sat, 21 Nov 2009 08:40:00 GMT It was a wild second round in the Georgia high school state playoffs. Top teams all over the state were pushed to the brink of defeat. Most of them were lucky enough to pull out a W, but 4A's top-ranked team was not nearly as lucky. Ken Malcome and Southwest DeKalb went down to Clarke Central in the last seconds of the game. Plus, two of these four teams lost: Lowndes, Stephenson, Grayson, Lassiter]]> Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:48:00 GMT The Georgia high school state playoffs have been wild so far.

The ranking only took the 2009 football season into account, so years of past glory did not affect things. The Peach State came in as the sixth best high school football state in the U.S. Come see which states edged them out]]> Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:29:00 GMT Two-way standout Shannon Brown is one of the most coveted juniors in the Peach State.

But the 5-foot-11 senior has offers from Kentucky and UAB. Besides his 4.4 second speed in the forty yard dash, he can really find a seam in the defense. Stay tuned for the cut he makes about thirty seconds i]]> Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:25:00 GMT
