Colquitt County (Moultrie, Ga.) at Hoover (Ala.)
The Colquitt County defense was stellar last week against Grayson. Can the Packers get the same performance against a tough Hoover squad?

The site for this tape-delayed nationally televised matchup is Hoover's Metropolitan Stadium, a facility very familiar to Colquitt County's head coach. Rush Propst won 110 games and five state titles in nine years at Hoover. He also earned a little bit of infamy after his team was profiled by the weekly MTV docu-series "Two-A-Days" and a year later resigning from his position after allegations of misconduct were made public. Flash forward to today and Propst's Packers are off to a 1-0 start and are ranked No. 1 in Georgia Class AAAAAA following a 21-6 win over Grayson last weekend at the Georgia Dome. Colquitt County has six offensive and nine defensive starters back from a team that reached the state semifinals last year, including three-star defensive tackle
Jamiyus Pittman (a Mississippi commit).
See the MaxPreps Regional Computer Football RankingsHoover has played an out-of-state opponent early on in each of the previous four seasons and won all of those games. The last time the Bucs faced a team from Georgia was 2009, when they went on the road and beat Camden County (Kingsland). For 2013, Hoover has five starters back on both sides of the ball from the program's seventh Class 6A state championship team since 2000. The most prominent player on this year's roster is senior defensive back
Marlon Humphrey, who was selected as Alabama's winner in the
MaxPreps Preseason Mr. Football from each state story.
