Brenton Cox, an Ohio State DE commit, now a five-star prospect in the 247Sports composite rankings

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State now has two five-star defensive line prospects committed in its 2018 recruiting class.

There isn’t a new commitment. Just a new rating.

Defensive end Brenton Cox of Stockbridge, Ga., who has been pledged to the Buckeyes since April 25, earned a fifth star in the 247Sports composite rankings on Tuesday.

Rated the No. 2 strongside defensive end in the 2017 class, Cox joins five-star defensive tackle and Ohio State commitment Taron Vincent of Bradenton (Fla.) IMG in the world of elite recruiting profile rankings.

Ohio State has 10 total verbal commitments in its 2018 class, three of which are now rated as five-star prospects. The third is quarterback Emory Jones of Franklin, Ga., who has been pledged since last July.

There are other fringe five-star prospects in the class, too, including four-star cornerback Jaiden Woodbey of Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco and four-star all-purpose back Jaelen Gill of Westerville (Ohio) South. Both of them have five-star ratings on other recruiting sites, which gives you an idea of just how deep Urban Meyer’s recruiting class is.

Ohio State is still after a handful of other five-star prospects it could ultimately sign, including defensive end Micah Parsons of Harrisburg, Pa., cornerback Patrick Surtain Jr. of Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas, running back Zamir White of Laurinburg (N.C.) Scotland County and cornerback Anthony Cook of Houston (Texas) Lamar. All of those targets are rated as top-10 players nationally.

The 247Sports composite rankings average the ratings from all major recruiting services, which is how Cox got his new five-star distinction.

Ohio State’s 2018 recruiting class currently ranks No. 3 overall in the country in the 247Sports composite team rankings.

Three-star defensive end Jayson Oweh included Ohio State in his top 10.

Eagle’s Landing cityhood advocates no show at forum, Stockbridge officials maintain opposition

STOCKBRIDGE — The Henry County NAACP hosted a forum Thursday to allow those for and against the creation of the city of Eagle’s Landing to explain their positions and answer audience questions.

However, with no one in support of the proposal in attendance, representatives for the city of Stockbridge and Ga. Sen. Emanuel Jones, D-Decatur, used the forum to their advantage, arguing that the cityhood proposal would be unprecedented and have devastating financial effects on the city of Stockbridge.

The Eagle’s Landing Educational Research Committee, the group proposing the new city, said during a pro-cityhood meeting Feb. 23 that there are several reasons for self-governance, including community identity, local control over land use and development and local accountability of elected officials.

Stockbridge officials are against the proposal, largely because the proposal would encompass half of the city of Stockbridge’s properties.

“The city of Stockbridge believes in any community having the right to self govern. We believe the citizens should have the right to have local control,” said Stockbridge Community Development Director Camilla Moore on Thursday. “What we don’t believe is that the law did not intend that any community can be created off the back of an existing city. That was not the design or intent of the law.”

The city of Stockbridge has no city property tax; however, city representatives argue that it is likely that the city of Eagle’s Landing residents will have a property tax, based on prior city incorporations. And because the proposed city of Eagle’s Landing map consists of about 50 percent of the Stockbridge properties, and would take away much of Stockbridge’s commercial and franchise fee revenues, it’s likely Stockbridge’s remaining residents would also be hit with a property tax to sustain the city.

The proposal has made its way to the Georgia General Assembly, though no action was taken during this year’s legislative session, which ended March 31. Sen. Rick Jeffares, R-McDonough, sponsored that bill, Senate Bill 263, as well as another intended to pave the way for the city’s charter. SB 262, if approved by majority of the General Assembly, would de-annex several properties from the city of Stockbridge.

Though Jones represents a majority of the properties in the cityhood proposal, he said he believes Jeffares filed the bills as a “general” bill as opposed to a “local” bill, so that the bill would have a higher likelihood of approval by a majority vote of all officials in the House and Senate. As a local bill, it would have required all local legislators representing the subject area to sign off on the bill, which Jones and Rep. Demetrius Douglas, D-Stockbridge, indicated they would not sign.

Jones encouraged the mayors of the each of the surrounding cities to approve a resolution to send to Henry County’s legislative delegation in opposition to the city formation, as such formation could set a precedent for other cities to be affected by future cities.

“We will host a series of public neighborhood meetings to discuss the viability of the proposed city as well as the impact to surrounding areas at a later date,” stated Consiglio. “At that time, we will consider invitations to make presentations to community groups. We thank the NAACP for their invitation and we will reach out to them at the appropriate time when we have more information from the feasibility study.”

When asked about the status of the feasibility study, Consiglio responded: “The mapping of the business tax was not by GIS census block area mapping, so it is taking a little longer to get that put together. We would rather them take their time than to rush it through. We are in no hurry because it is not needed until this fall by the Legislature anyway. It is nice to have it early, but we want it to be correct first and foremost.”

Michigan Football recruiting news and offer updates

Jim Harbaugh is pursuing recruits with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind

That is one of many factors that allows the Wolverines to continue to reel in top 10 recruiting classes year after year, with no signs of slowing down.

So far, Michigan has eight high school players committed to the 2018 class. The class is comprised of four-star quarterback Joe Milton, four-star cornerback Myles Sims, four-star linebacker/safety Otis Reese, four-star offensive lineman Emil Ekiyor, four-star defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, three-star running back Christian Turner and twin three-star cornerbacks Geman and Germon Green.

Even though they have a verbal commitment from Milton, the Wolverines are still pursing another option in 2018 at quarterback, three-star Chandler, Arizona native, Tyler Shough. He has already received more than 20 offers, and is rated the No. 20 ranked quarterback by 247 sports.

In addition to Shough, Michigan has just recently offered sophomore Harrison Bailey. You read that right. Not a sophomore in college, but in high school, with three full years left to go. Harrison has already racked up offers from Alabama, Florida State, Georgia, and others.

As a freshman, the 6-foot-4 215 pound young star threw for 2038 yards, 21 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions. He was 202-for-363 on passing downs and had two rushing touchdowns, according to MaxPreps.

But he isn’t the only one.

The Wolverines have also extended a scholarship offer to Hawaii native Sol-Jay Maiava, another sophomore quarterback in the class of 2020.

Even though Michigan has two stud quarterbacks next up in the line of succession with Brandon Peters (2016) and Dylan McCaffery (2017), the culture of relentless competition that Harbaugh has created must be fed fresh bodies for it to perpetuate. In the 2019 class, the Wolverines will most likely target five-star JT Daniels, from Santa Ana, CA.

In addition to all the quarterback action, Michigan has made the top four of James Ohnoba, a 2018 four-star offensive lineman from Stockbridge, Georgia. LSU, USC, and Alabama round out a stacked finalist list.

Via Twitter, Raleigh, N.C. native Alim McNeill announced his top-10 on Thursday. This group includes perennial powerhouse names such as Florida State, Clemson, and Michigan, among others. McNeill is the No. 19 defensive tackle and the 207th overall player in the 2018 class. Virginia Tech is currently the 247 sports crystal ball favorite 50 percent.

Closer to home, the Wolverines are in hot pursuit of Catholic Central offensive tackle, Jalen Mayfield. The No. 24 offensive tackle in the nation, Mayfield decommitted from the Minnesota Golden Gophers on March 24. There are 15 out of 15 crystal ball predictions in favor of Michigan on 247 sports, and he will announce his decision on Tuesday, May 23.

Among the recruiting success stories there are inevitable misses. Dallas Gant, 2018 four-star linebacker, and Owen Pappoe, 2019 five-star linebacker, will both be taking their talents elsewhere. Gant committed the Ohio State Buckeyes, while Owen Pappoe — who received his Michigan offer in eighth grade — announced a top ten which the Wolverines were left out of.

As Michigan continues to recruit hard and develop talent as good as anyone in the country, it will be exciting to see how far they can go. The era of Harbaugh will truly begin this year, as his first recruiting class will dominate the two-deep and have a chance to prove themselves this fall.

A Look Back At The Three Top Restaurants In Stockbridge GA

We have been in Stockbridge GA a few times in past articles looking at restaurants, and now is a good time to go back. These virtual visits are fun, aren’t they? I want to go back to the top three establishments in Stockbridge. Have they changed? Those rankings can change from time to time so you never know. Have you stayed in or passed through Stockbridge before? Perhaps you live there, in which case you will likely be familiar with these three top establishments in Stockbridge, Georgia.

The Italian restaurant Pasta Max is the number one establishment in the city. Have you had a hankering for some of the best Italian pastas in the area? Maybe you would like to try the stuffed eggplant. Aside from the food, customer reviews point to great wine and great service. I always say you can usually count on the ambiance of a good Italian restaurant, too.

The second ranked restaurant in Stockbridge is Papi’s Cuban & Caribbean Grill. If you hear that this place serves up empanada samplers, are you willing to try it out? The Cuban sandwiches must be authentic and delicious because one reviewer claims it was the best ever. To add to the empanada description, how about strawberry and cream cheese?

The third ranked restaurant in Stockbridge is Truett’s Grill. I remember reviewing this restaurant before. Now, one of its signature menu items I’m not such a fan of, but it sure looks like many people are. It is their sweet potato casserole. Its got a soul food menu though, which sounds quite tasty. I would have to go to the Cuban restaurant first because I would figure that they have the most unique menu. However, it would be hard not to order the Cuban sandwich the first time, don’t you agree?

Stockbridge mourns high school senior; person of interest sought

Stockbridge High School is mourning the loss of Jesse Thomas, senior and sports star.

Sgt. Danny Gibbs of the Henry County Police Department said officers responded to a “trouble unknown” call May 13 at about 1:40 a.m. in Genelle Court in unincorporated McDonough.

“Upon arrival, they found an empty house with blood around the front doorway and the driveway,” he said. “Officers were able to make entry through an unlocked rear door.”

They confirmed the house was empty and found more blood inside, Gibbs said.

“They later received a call that Jesse Thomas had suffered a gunshot wound and died at (Piedmont Henry Hospital),” he said.

There had been a house party at the residence, so investigators began to locate and interview witnesses, Gibbs said.

“This is still happening,” he said. “We have a person of interest that we are trying to locate and interview.”

Gibbs said Dexter Deshawn Covington, 19, is that person of interest.

He is 5-10 and 135 pounds.

Covington was last seen driving a black 2014 Chevrolet Camaro with Georgia tag RCA2611 in the McDonough area.

Anyone with information on Covington’s whereabouts is asked to contact Detective Steven Rotella at 770-288-8269 or srotella@co.henry.ga.us, and refer to case No. 17-008743.

Witnesses are asked to use caution if the individual is seen.

Henry County Schools spokesman J.D. Hardin issued this statement:

“Our condolences go out to this student’s family during this very difficult time,” he said. “It is our hope that law enforcement is able to quickly find those responsible for this tragedy.”

Hardin said extra counselors will be at school today to meet with students and staff members.

Thomas was the Henry Neighbor athlete of the week in the Jan. 12 edition.

Head basketball coach Rodney Latham said at the time Thomas was a “very energetic and diligent player, a team leader and one who would do anything asked of him on the court.”

Gibbs said as updates on the homicide investigation come in, he will send them out.

Neighbor News Editor Bill Baldowski contributed to this report.

Stockbridge adopts new state outdoor water waste regulations

STOCKBRIDGE — The city of Stockbridge now has an ordinance in place that prohibits wasting water, per Georgia Environmental Protection Division regulations adopted in 2010.

City Attorney Michael Williams presented the item to the Stockbridge City Council Monday before the council adopted the new regulations. The prohibitions now include:

• allowing water to escape from premises to any public right of way such as streets, sidewalks, pond or any other person’s property.

• operating an irrigation system or any other lawn or landscaping watering device during rain.

• operating an irrigation system or any other lawn or landscaping watering device that has any broken or missing sprinkler heads

• failing to repair a controllable leak including a broken sprinkler head, or leaky valve or outdoor faucet or a service leak on premises owned or leased by that person within 30 days.

• washing any vehicle with a hose and not having a water shut off nozzle or allowing the water to run continuously while washing any vehicle.

There are some exceptions, however, that include water applied to abate spills of flammable or otherwise hazardous materials, water used for power-washing hard surfaces to alleviate safety or sanitary hazards, and emptying of swimming pools for maintenance.

Mayor Pro Tem Anthony Ford inquired whether any fines would be associated with any violations and if the city’s code enforcement officer be responsible for enforcing the new ordinance.

Williams responded that violations could be enforced by code enforcement or police and suggested that the fine be the same as the general fine for code violations, up to $1,000, or as determined by the court. He added that the amount of the fine could be based on the number of violations and the extremity of the violation.

Councilman John Blount abstained from voting on the new ordinance after having expressed concern about homes that have angled driveways that would cause water to down-flow onto a street.

Cities and counties across Georgia are expected to adopt similar ordinances if they haven’t already.

Stockbridge’s Marquez Ezzard narrows list of schools to eight

Stockbridge High School junior Marquez Ezzard narrowed his list of colleges to eight over the weekend.

After teasing his list release on April 23, the 6-foot-1, 213 pound athlete from Stockbridge, Ga. posted a statement on Twitter on Friday along with his list.

Ezzard’s top eight schools are Southern California, Florida State, Ole Miss, Georgia, Auburn, Florida, Ohio State and South Carolina.

“While I am still open to other schools, my family and I have decided upon my Top 8 college choices which I have listed in no particular order,” Ezzard’s statement read in part.

The 4-star Ezzard is ranked No. 251 on 2018 ESPN 300 and No. 26 on 247 Sports’ list of top 2018 recruits in Georgia.
