Camden County. Now a member of Region 1-AAAAAA, Camden County adds to what is arguably the top region in the state. Jeff Herron’s squad is extremely well-coached and this year it has the talent to go a long way in the playoffs.

Can the offensive line buy Segraves enough time? Sure, he’ll turn some broken plays into big gains, but the unit will need to be consistently good if Colquitt County is going to live up to expectations this fall.
Local outlook: Region 1-AAAAAA will be a gauntlet, and could very well end up producing the first state champion in the newly formed Class AAAAAA. Lowndes should be improved from the squad that Colquitt beat 34-7 last year, while Valdosta, which beat Colquitt last season, can never be taken lightly.
Overall outlook: The 2012 season has been much-anticipated for a while. This team returns key players all across the field and wields a bounty of talented newcomers. Although it enters the season ranked No. 2 in Georgia, it is unquestionably one of the top teams in the country.
Coach quote: “We feel really good about the upcoming season. In fact, it’s one of those situations where anything short of a state championship will probably be a disappointment. Since coach Propst has gotten here, expectations have gotten higher.”
- Chris Evans, assistant coach
