High School Football Camps Open in Georgia

Georgia High School Football Huddle

Having lived in Atlanta for two years, I know the passion for high school football runs long and it runs deep! I also know it's hot as...well you know...during two-a-days.

Saturday was the first day that teams could hit the practice fields, and in some parts of the state, the temps hit triple-digits. Plenty of newspapers are already in mid-season form as they get their readers ready for the 2009 season.

Below are links to several stories from around the state.

Lowndes run for its fourth Georgia high school football championship in five years came to a screeching halt Friday night losing to unbeaten Grayson 17-7.

The #1 team in AAAAA will be on the road Friday night to face #5 Grayson (12-0) because it lost a coin flip Saturday to determine the home team.

By Jeff Fisher
The High School Football Huddle

No one said it would be easy for two-time Georgia AAAA champ Northside-Warner Robins (#24 USA Today Super 25) in 2008. The Eagles not only moved-up to the state's biggest classification after winning back-to-back AAAA titles, but the school also moved to the incredibly tough Region 1-AAAAA, which includes defending champ Lowndes.

Friday night Northside (11-1), which is ranked #5 in the state, squares-off with unbeaten Camden County (12-0), which is ranked #2 in the state, in the second round of the GHSA playoffs. It marks the first time that two top five teams have met in the second round since the state expanded the playoffs in 1990.
