Main Story: Colquitt County heads to Camden County looking to bounce back from a 52-44 loss to Valdosta and protect its standing for a potential home playoff opener. The Packers’ offense showed its scoring potential in the comeback, but turnovers, sacks and a slow defensive start proved costly. Camden is also coming off a lopsided loss to Valdosta, and Colquitt hopes to exploit the Wildcats’ defensive struggles.

By the Numbers
  • Colquitt is 5-3; Camden is 5-4 and 0-3 in region play.
  • The Packers are ranked No. 10 in Georgia’s postseason rankings; the top 16 earn a first-round home game.
  • Colquitt totaled 516 yards against Valdosta, including 286 passing yards and 116 rushing yards from Khi Mitchell.
  • Colquitt has won 12 straight against Camden, including a 45-28 win last year.
Yes, But

Colquitt’s 44-point rally and 516 yards offer reason for confidence, but Mitchell’s two turnovers and four sacks underscored issues the Packers must address. Their defense also struggled to contain Valdosta’s fast-paced attack, though coach Sean Calhoun said the early breakdowns were not caused by a lack of effort or physicality.

State of Play
  • Friday’s game in Kingsland is Camden’s final regular-season matchup; Colquitt has two regular-season games left.
  • Camden relies on a run-first approach led by Malakhi Poole, while receiver Sean Green is its top passing target.
  • Colquitt’s three losses have come against teams with a combined 22-1 record.
What's Next

Colquitt needs a win Friday to strengthen its chance of staying in the top 16 before the regular season ends. Calhoun’s priority is getting Camden behind the chains and on the scoreboard early, while shoring up protection and defensive alignment.

Bottom Line

The Valdosta loss exposed real weaknesses, but Colquitt’s offensive production and favorable playoff position remain intact. A focused performance against Camden would turn that promise into momentum—and help preserve a home-field advantage in the playoffs.
