Oconee County HS among missing helmets at Georgia Dome - post season commences without Warriors

Although a dozen seasons have passed since the Oconee County Warriors undefeated State Championship football team, the Georgia Dome is seeking a helmet from all of the teams who have played in the artificial turf indoor stadium in Atlanta. Oconee County and Coach Mitch Davis were included on a list seeking a donation of a helmet for a display case inside of the facility that the Atlanta Falcons call home.

I would imagine there is a pretty good chance that the North Oconee Titans will be donating a helmet after this post-season. But remember the Titans will have a stern test with an Atlanta road trip to the real Westminster in  an opener for the once beaten Bogart area school still reeling from a tragic and fatal auto accident this past weekend.

Athens Academy is playing host to a playoff game this weekend against a 6-4 Mount Paran team in the narrow slice of Athens mailing address inside of Oconee County off of Hwy. 441 near the 10 Loop. Prince Avenue Christian School travels to the beautiful Northwest Georgia campus of Darlington near Rome for their first post-season football game ever.

Falcons still looking for helmets for Georgia Dome
The Georgia Dome and the Georgia World Congress Center Authority have created a permanent fixture showcasing football helmets from many of the state's high school programs. But some helmets are still missing. If you know your helmet is not currently a part of this display and would like for it to be, contact Kendyl Moss, director of community relations for the Atlanta Falcons, by calling 404-367-2064 or via e-mail at kmoss@falcons.nfl.com.

Jeff Dantzler's arrests may be the best thing that ever happened to him

THis has next to nothing to do with Oconee County with the possible exception of the location of his former office, but a former colleague of mine on the radio got popped today for four counts. Any one who has listened to 960 the Ref AM sports talk radio or heard the UGA Lady Dawgs or men's baseball team has surely heard the encyclopedic knowledge of one Jeff Dantzler. Jeff and I are pretty much diametrically opposed poltically, but today he was arrested on four counts including DUI. I hope he gets the help he needs following his incarceration. I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after
