And now, it’s for real…

Starting Thursday and running through early December (with the title games from downtown Atlanta on the Great GPB), games mean something when it comes to wins and losses, playoff runs, and making sure you get the most out of your season- regardless of where you are in the great state of Georgia…

From Ringgold to Kingsland and Savannah to LaGrange, it starts all over again for 405 schools chasing eight titles…

And optimism begins anew…

This year, GPB is going to be doing it a few different ways and we all want you along for the ride. Whether we’re talking web, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat (@GPBSports), and the GPB Sports app (Which, by the way, has an ANDROID VERSION NOW!!!), we all want to hear what you have to say this season going forward…

Who’s hot, who’s not, what stories are out there that we know (or even the ones we don’t), and who should get the spotlight… let us know what you’re thinking all season long…

So, as a bit of a primer, let’s check in with our partners around the state for some sneak previews of what’s going on in their necks of the woods…

First, Big Marvin and Company run through the last weekend of scrimmages in central Georgia… and one of the big stories early on will be Peach County and how they hit 2017…
