Here’s a look at GHSA Region 7-AAA for the 2024 football season.

REGION 7-AAA OUTLOOK

Team to beat: Despite heavy losses to graduation, Calhoun is the consensus pick. The Yellow Jackets, dropping down from 5A, have the region’s most dangerous player in tight end Emaree Winston and a revamped defense that will hit.

Watch out for: Gilmer. The Bobcats have a great run game led by Wyatt Stokes, a solid coaching staff and offer up one of the toughest game-day atmospheres in the state.

Best game: Adairsville at Calhoun. The Sept. 27 game at The Reeve will be a wild one between the schools just 13 miles apart.
