Swamp Boys - Rocking the Blues Fest in Barnesville, Georgia

Out of a field of 56 Pro division teams, Rub Bagby's Swamp Boys took the Grand at Barnesville, Georgia this weekend with an impressive 8 point lead over Jus Fer Fun Cooking Crew who took Reserve. Tack on a first in chicken, a third in pork, and a second in brisket for Rub, and it's no wonder! By all accounts this contest, the second jewel in the Georgia portion of the Triple Crown, was a spectacular event.

Jacks Old South - Tough to Beat at Home

Put Myron Mixon's Jacks Old South cook team on the field in the State of Georgia and you're going to have a hard time scoring points against him. The 1st Annual Smoke on the Water in Thomaston, GA was just such an event. Jacks Old South took home the Grand with a 10 point lead over HomeBBQ.com, who finished Reserve. Add a First Place in Chicken and in Pork to the Myron's winnings and you could say it was a good weekend for the Georgia-based team. A total of 45 cook teams filled the field for this first year event. Congratulations to Bobby Bickley, the organizer, for a great contest.

Swamp Boys - Almost A Clean Sweep!

Rob 'Rub' Bagby's Swamp Boys came within 9 points of a grand slam in Lake City this past weekend. First place in everything except Chicken, and a Grand Champion is about as good as it gets, though. Uncle Kenny's BBQ took Reserve and three second places. Looks like we're going to have a fight for Team of the Year right down to the wire.
