GHSA reclassification for the upcoming 2022-24 cycle will affect every region that includes northwest Georgia schools, and the process has again drawn the ire of state politicians.

Six area wrestling teams earned berths Saturday for next weekend's GHSA state duals.

Citing family reasons, Bo Campbell resigned Wednesday after seven seasons as the head football coach at Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High School.

It's often the losses that show a basketball coach just what he or she has to work with and, usually, what the team has to work on moving forward.

For many prep basketball teams a third-place tournament finish after entering as the event's defending champions would seem like a letdown.

Tyner and McCallie will meet in the championship round of the Times Free Press Best of Preps basketball tournament Wednesday, though each took a distinctly different route to get there.

It may have ended as a record-setting performance, but it certainly didn't start that way for Cole McCormick.

Former Ridgeland High School football player and assistant coach Craig Pritchett was confirmed by the Walker County Board of Education as the school's next head football coach.

The stats say Warner Robins dominated Calhoun in Saturday's GHSA Class AAAAA football championship game.

If Calhoun High School is to win its fifth GHSA football state championship, the Yellow Jackets will likely have to defeat two formidable opponents in the Class AAAAA final Saturday at Center Parc Stadium in Atlanta.

Perhaps never has giving up a touchdown drive been more beneficial for a football team than it was for Calhoun during Friday night's win over Blessed Trinity in their GHSA Class AAAAA semifinal.

Right now in Calhoun, Georgia, there is a bit of an identity crisis that produces wry smiles on the football field and creates utter chaos for opponents.

There have been times this football season when the once-vaunted Calhoun High School defense has looked rather ordinary.

Like most twins, Christian and Christopher Lewis are alike in a lot of ways. It's the differences, though, that make the Calhoun High School football stars stand out.

Needing a defensive stop in a football game that had included very few of them, Calhoun got a memorable one to seal a dramatic postseason win Friday night.

Kaleb Park has one of the best views in the house when Rob Brown takes off on one of his patented long touchdown runs, so the Trion High School senior offensive lineman is the perfect person to describe his star teammate's playing style.

Standout senior Rob Brown and the Trion High School football team's running game continued to dominate Saturday night as the Bulldogs moved from the regular season to playoff mode without any trouble.

As it turns out, Ringgold High School football coach Robert Akins had no need to worry about his Tigers on Friday night.

The road to Atlanta and the GHSA football state championship games will no doubt be rocky for the 10 area teams that made the playoffs this year, though the recently completed regular season also had its share of potholes and detours for northwest Georgia programs.

In the end, Ringgold's defense won the battle but lost the war at Rockmart.
