Georgia Notebook: Elbert and North Oconee battle for Region 8-2A South title

The game many have looked forward to for a year has arrived.

When North Oconee (8-0, 5-0 Region 8-AA) travels to The Granite Bowl this week to face No. 7 Elbert County (8-0, 5-0), the Region 8-AA South title is on the line, as well as a ticket to next week’s Region 8-AA championship.

The Titans and Blue Devils have mirrored each other all season.

They each have a smothering defense (each have four shutouts), and a star player in the offensive backfield. North Oconee, actually, has two in versatile Nick Colvin and speedy freshman Kawon Bryant. Elbert relies heavily on star Tyshon Dye.

North Oconee has averaged 45.6 points per game, while Elbert has put up 34.8. The Titans have yielded eight, compared with 7.4 for the Blue Devils.
