It's now official for 2019! The East St. Louis Flyers will travel to Moultrie, Ga.,for an August 31st matchup with a really pissed off Colquitt Co. Packer squad. A squad who has been ranked in the national top ten, for the better part of the decade! The Packers were a made 40 yd. FG by North Gwinnett in 2017, at the final horn, and a blocked thirty five yard FG by Milton last season, from winning four of the last five 7A state championships in Georgia!(our highest classification) THAT being said, the Packer program was dealt a horrendous loss last Thursday afternoon! When the best coach in America, was released from his contract, after eleven seasons with the program! Off field issues bit him in the butt once again! And we will forever miss his leadership on the gridiron! The program will attempt to pick up the pieces, and see what's left after the dust clears, with regards to our coaching staff! So stay tuned!
The game will be aired on the World Wide Web at NFHS.com! There will no doubt be a number of articles in the Moultrie Observer sports section, leading up to the game! And probably a segment on Valdosta's local FM sports talk radio, at 6:00 PM EST the preceding week!(The Chris Beckham Show) A podcast is set up to access about an hour after the show, for those who are unable to listen live! Welcome East St. Louis, to CULTURE SHOCK, SOUTH GEORGIA style, and Region 1AAAAAAA. Tab by SPORTS ILLUSTRATED a few years ago, as the lil Southeastern Conference!
