Class AA - Region 2 Football Preview

2006 Football Preview

Class AA - Region 2

brought to you by:

The past two AA state champions have come from this region as Charlton County has become the measuring stick for other Class AA teams in the state. Despite finishing second in the region last year to Fitzgerald, the Indians fought through a brutal playoff schedule, knocking off Buford (26-21), Greene County (34-33) and
Calhoun (27-21) in the final three rounds. Quarterback Dwight Dasher and Georgia
Tech commitment D.J. Donley return to lead Charlton's speedy offense.

McIntosh County Academy makes the move up from Region 3-A this year, a region the Buccaneers won the past two seasons. McIntosh has enough Division I talent, led by linebacker Allen Bailey and defensive end B.J. Jenkins, to challenge Charlton
for the region title.

Appling County will have to stay injury-free as the Pirates have little depth
with just seven seniors and 12 juniors on their roster after a 4-6-1 season in
2005. Brantley County (6-4 in 2005) adds to the competitive nature of the region,
while Savannah Christian comes to the region after going 6-4 in Region 3-AA.

Long County also moves up to 2-AA in 2006 after going 2-8 in 3-A last year,
while Pierce County and Jeff Davis round out the region.
