Short Take
We like for Cairo to bounce back and claim the region title this season in Region 1. However, we don’t believe it will be easy. Americus-Sumter should run neck and neck with the Syrupmakers all season.
Short Take
Mary Persons looks to be at the head of the class in Region 2. We anticipate that West Laurens and Spalding to battle it out again for second place this season.
Short Take
Burke County is our pick for region champion in Region 3. Thomson should be nipping at their heels also season long. We expect that Baldwin will have some say in this before the dust settles on November 2nd.
Short Take
Woodward Academy is our pick this season to top Region 4. Last season, Eastside gave them all they wanted. If Eastside is going to hoist the region title, they’ll have to find a way to get past Woodward in College Park on October 5th. Don’t count out Salem, either. We believe the Seminoles have enough talent to challenge both Eastside and Woodward.
Short Take
We are drinking the Troup County Kool-Aid this season. We go out on a limb and think Troup will be able wrestle away control of the region this season from Cartersville. We expect Cedartown and Sandy Creek to round out the top four.
Short Take
We like the Ridgeland Panthers to repeat as region 6 champions. They should face some stiff competition from Pickens and Southeast Whitfield. Can the Panthers new head coach pick up where Wesley Tankersley left off? (We think so.)
Short Take
As if this region wasn’t difficult enough, Flowery Branch was re-classified this year and now joins the fray. We expect the Blessed Trinity Titans to claim the region title this season. You can never count Marist out, either. Denmark, the newest Forsyth County school will also compete in region 7.
Short Take
St. Pius is our pick to once again hoist the region title at the end of the season. While it may not be a run away this season, the Golden Lions should have enough fire power to keep Madison, Oconee and Stephens County at bay. Stephens County is our dark horse.
