Heartbreak City aka Atlanta, GA, was the scene of an unbelievable football game between Clemson and Georgia Tech. The game was played at Bobby Dodd Stadium last night. The Clemson Tigers rallied from being down 24 to 0 to Georgia Tech with 27 unanswered points of their own to lead 27 to 24 in the 4th quarter. The Yellow Jackets then rallied themselves with a late field goal to break the hearts of the Tigers and their fans winning 30 to 27. The Yellow Jackets have won 5 of the last 6 games against the Tigers. This turned out to be a typical Clemson and Georgia Tech game as 11 of the last 14 games have been decided by 5 points or less.

HIGH SCHOOL GAME OF THE WEEK
Chesterfield @ Cheraw.....I had the opportunity to attend this match up last season and I was very impressed. The rivalry between the Chesterfield Rams and the Cheraw Braves is very much alive in Chesterfield County. THEY DO NOT LIKE EACH OTHER! Cheraw dominated this series for several years and enjoyed bragging rights. In 2005 Chesterfield hired former Gamecocks QB Steve Tanneyhill as Head Coach. Tannyhill has built the Rams into a state power in his 4 years at the school. The Rams have played for the 1A State Championship each of the past 3 years, winning the last 2. Chesterfield has also beaten Cheraw the last two years. Cheraw, a State 2A power, is fired up to regain their domination over the Rams and prove they are the best team in Chesterfield County. I see the Braves not having enough offensive fire power to stay with the high scoring Rams..... Chesterfield 33 Cheraw 16
OTHER HIGH SCHOOL GAMES
Union County @ Gaffney..... The momentum from last weeks come from behind victory by the Indians should carry over for a big win in home opener..... Gaffney 38 Union County 10
Abbeville @ Woodruff..... This should be a very good game between two outstanding teams. The Wolverines offense is clicking on all cylinders..... Woodruff 41 Abbeville 28
Boiling Springs @ York..... Boiling Springs got a big boost from Coach Clark being back on the side line last week. This week they won't need it..... Boiling Springs 31 York
Chesnee @ Blacksburg..... Blacksburg is improved from last year when Chesnee embarrassed them. Not improved enough..... Chesnee 27 Blacksburg 12
Dorman @ Greenwood..... After a bye week, Dorman is excited about being back on the field against a good opponent..... Dorman 24 Greenwood 14
Byrnes @ Greer..... The Rebels have dominated this series in recent years. Nuff said! ....Byrnes 56 Greer 20
COLLEGE GAME OF THE WEEK
South Carolina @ Georgia..... The Gamecocks didn't look to good last week in 7 to 3 win against NC State. The Gamecocks always play the Bulldogs tough. I expect Steven Garcia to play better and make better decisions than he did last week. I see the Carolina offense improving some this week but they are still a long way from where the Ole Ball Coach wants them to be. Georgia lost on the road to a very good Oklahoma State team and really missed Matthew Stafford. I look for the Bulldogs to be pumped playing between the hedges for the first time this year. I see another defensive battle Saturday night..... Georgia 16 South Carolina 13
OTHER COLLEGE GAMES
Notre Dame @ Michigan..... I call this the Hot Seat Bowl. Both coaches could be on the hot seat if teams don't produce wins. I see Charlie Weiss and Notre Dame winning a close one..... Notre Dame 24 Michigan 20
North Carolina @ Connecticut..... This match up between the ACC and Big East should be close for a while with the Tar Heels pulling away in the 2nd half..... North Carolina 27 Connecticut 14
Southern Cal. @ Ohio State..... The Trojans should win this game even with a freshman QB starting for the first time on the road..... Southern Cal. 34 Ohio State 20
Duke @ Army..... The Blue Devils layed an egg at home last week against FCS Champion Richmond. Duke should get a win for Coach David Cut cliff this week..... Duke 20 Army 17
NFL GAME OF THE WEEK
Philadelphia @ Carolina..... Which Jake Delhomme will we see in this game? Which Panthers defense will we see in this game? Will Jonathon Stewart play and if he does will he be effective after missing all of preseason?Which Eagles team will we see, the one that started last season or the one that put it together at the end to make a run to the NFC championship game? Both teams have a lot of questions but the Eagles seam to have more answers..... Philadelphia 27 Carolina 24
OTHER NFL GAMES
Dallas @ Tampa Bay..... The Cowboys look like a very good team on paper. The game is not played on paper but I see Dallas getting the win on the road..... Dallas 31 Tampa Bay 17
Minnesota @ Cleveland..... The Brett Favre era begins in Minnesota. Brett throws a couple of TD passes as the Vikings win..... Minnesota 27 Cleveland 14
Miami @ Atlanta..... This should be a good game between surprise playoff teams from a year ago..... Atlanta 26 Miami 21
Enjoy your Sports Weekend. Until Monday.
