Celebrating Our National Signing Day Student Athletes!

Fifty-one of our student athletes signed commitment letters this week to compete at the college level!. The students were honored with National Signing Day ceremonies at their high schools to celebrate their signing of National Letters of Intent. This week is the earliest opportunity for high school seniors to sign a binding commitment to play competitive college sports other than football. More signing days will be held throughout the rest of the school year. We’re on a mission to be the highest-performing school district in Georgia where our students are learning more, growing more, and achieving more in our classrooms (and on our athletic teams) than they could anywhere else!

Creekview draws first-round matchup at Jackson County

Creekview will be making back-to-back state playoff appearances when it takes the field Friday night at Jackson County. Creekview (6-4) was the 30th-ranked team in the Georgia High School Association’s new postseason rankings, and facing No. 3 Jackson County (10-1), will look to win its first postseason game since 2018, when it reached the quarterfinals. “Our guys are excited for the opportunity,” coach Trevor Williams said. “Obviously, we have a big challenge ahead of us with a very good Jackson County team, but these seniors have been playing football together for a long time. The ability to go out there and put the pads on with a chance to earn seven more days together is something that not every team in state gets, and our guys are well aware of that.” Creekview and Region 8AAAAAA champion Jackson County have some similarities schematically, with both offenses often employing two-tight end sets and utilizing the power run game. The Grizzlies have their first 1,000-yard rusher since 2023 in running back Carson Lott, who heads into Friday’s game with 1,173 yards and 13 touchdowns. The Panthers have also been dangerous on the ground this year between running back Daylan Maxwell (1,476 yards, 20

How Georgia’s new high school football playoff system works, why it’s controversial

The Georgia high school football playoff schedule is set, and the state's new ranking system has already sparked plenty of discussion. Ahead of the 2026-27 school year, Georgia adopted a new playoff ranking system, the Post Season Rankings (PSR), for all of sports. The goal is to create a more fair postseason by ensuring the most deserving teams earn playoff spots, regardless of their region. On Saturday, Nov. 7, the Georgia High School Association released the playoff brackets for all eight classifications. Here is everything you need to know about how Georgia's new playoff system works: How does Georgia's playoff system work? Under the new format, the top 32 teams in each classification qualified for the playoffs, rather than automatically awarding postseason spots to the top four teams in each region. Region champions, however, received automatic playoff berths. The GHSA used the PSR formula, its computer-based ranking system, to determine the remaining qualifiers and playoff seeds. According to the GHSA, the PSR system rewards winning consistently, playing strong GHSA schedules, opponents who also win consistently and strong regional competition depth. The system has reduced emphasis on classification bonuses, margin of victory and subjective ranking systems. What is the PSR formula?

Red Devils fall to Lamar County, but live to fight again

BARNESVILLE — When the Red Devils limped out of here Friday night, it looked like they might be walking off a football field for good. Danarri Brown went from dependable to determined to dejected, having poured heart, soul and leg into trying to extend Jackson’s season into the Class AAA playoffs. The Red Devils hung with Lamar County for a scoreless first quarter, then watched two things — the Trojans pull away for a 32-7 victory and the Georgia High School Association playoff bracket online. Despite losing to Lamar County for the sixth consecutive meeting, Jackson (4-6 overall, 3-4 in Region 2-AAA) got the help it needed elsewhere across the state, with victories by Mary Persons, South Atlanta, and Lumpkin County, among others. The GHSA computer, thus armed with all the information it needed, on Saturday awarded the Red Devils Class AAA’s final playoff berth, opposite top-seeded Appling County (10-0). Coach Thomas Clark learned how the brackets fell in a Zoom call about 3:15 on Saturday afternoon. “It’s always good when you make the playoffs,” Clark said. “I knew that we were at the bottom.” The Red Devils were rewarded for playing a tough schedule, but like most teams still
