Lassiter putting final touch on best season since 2013
Lassiter can secure its best regular season in 13 years and a possible first-round state playoff home game when it goes on the road for its season finale against Rome in a battle of Region 6AAAAAA teams. With a win, Lassiter (7-2, 4-2) -- which is headed to the state playoffs for the first time since 2016 -- would achieve an eighth regular-season for the first time since 2012 and put itself in position to secure a home game for the first round. It would be the first postseason game at Frank Fillmann Stadium for the Trojans since 2013. “I think more than anything, we’re trying not to just sit here and focus on outcomes, but just trying to get better every single day,” Lassiter coach Sean Thom said. “I think our kids aren’t dumb – that’s the one thing about being at a place like Lassiter, they’re aware of kind of what they’ve accomplished. But I think it shows a growing trend of the hard work that they’ve put in. This senior class is going to be highly thanked, because they’ve really helped put this thing in place. When you combine their class with some of the talent in

Darlington's repeat road quite bumpy
The celebrations ended months ago. Now, what Darlington School boys basketball coach Nathan West put in front of his Tigers as defending GHSA Private boys state champions looks like a championship game each and every night. That would include a preseason scrimmage Darlington played on Halloween afternoon at Van Es Arena against a solid south Georgia name on the hardwood, Tift County High. The Tigers won 61-56 giving the home crowd an advanced look at what Darlington plans to show several others all the way to March. “That’s in the past. That’s history,” said West about Darlington’s first-ever state championship win in boys basketball — 53-50 over Holy Innocents’ at the Macon Coliseum — to end the Tigers’ season at 30-2. “It’s a new year. We have a new group. We have guys playing different roles. We have to put the history behind us and get focused on this year. I thought (the scrimmage) was a good start to that.” West only lost three senior starters, two of which signed to play college basketball: Christian Teasley and Cam Selig. The other was Brent Bell. There were seven Tigers dressed out for the scrimmage who played on the championship team plus

Undefeated Georgia high school football team faces GHSA investigation ahead of playoffs
Newton High School's (Covington, GA) undefeated football season could face scrutiny after the Georgia High School Association confirmed it's investigating a report alleging the program used an ineligible player. The GHSA received a report concerning Newton's roster, executive director Tim Scott told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Thursday, Nov. 5. However, the association will not complete its investigation or issue a ruling until after the state playoffs conclude, in accordance with GHSA bylaws. Newton enters the final week of the regular season with a 9-0 record, marking the best start in program history. The Rams are one of the top teams in Class 7A. The potential consequences could be significant if the allegations are substantiated. Under GHSA rules, teams found to have used an ineligible player must forfeit every game in which that player participated. That could include postseason contests, depending on the findings of the investigation. The GHSA has forced five football programs to forfeit at least six games over the past decade following eligibility violations. Several of those cases included playoff victories that were subsequently vacated. Scott cautioned against assuming Newton will face disciplinary action, noting that allegations submitted to the association frequently do not result in penalties. For

Brookwood chasing region title, win over Peachtree Ridge
With a little help in northern Gwinnett and a win Friday over Peachtree Ridge, Brookwood can win its first region football title since 2021. The Broncos have to avoid an upset by Peachtree Ridge first and foremost, then hope for North Gwinnett to topple Parkview in Suwanee. If Parkview beats North, Parkview would be the region champion. Both Peachtree Ridge (No. 15 in the Georgia High School Association’s PSR Power Rankings) and Brookwood (No. 5 in PSR) are firmly in the top 32 for state playoff berths, but Friday’s results will impact their seedings and first-round opponents. Brookwood returned from a rare two-week bye last Friday with a 53-0 win over Berkmar. Plenty of Broncos got game action and the regulars played sparingly, but both Brayden Tyson (five rushes, 102 yards, three touchdowns) and Michael Johnso (four rushes, 104 yards, TD) made the most their limited touches. Tyson went over 1,000 yards in the win (1,098) and is up to 15 TD runs on the season. It’s been a shaky three-game stretch for previously unbeaten Peachtree Ridge, which lost to Norcross and North Gwinnett before last week’s win over Duluth. The Lions jumped out to a 21-0 halftime lead on
