How Middle Ga.'s upcoming Audi plant in Peach County will impact Macon's economy
Macon-Bibb County invested $7 million to develop the Middle Georgia megasite where Audi AG plans to build a $4.2 billion plant that will employ 4,500 people. In return, the county is set to receive roughly $56 million in payments from the company, which are to begin in 2028 and span 20 years, according to the economic development agreement. The total economic footprint from the plant’s construction and operation could reach $49.3 billion by 2035, and annually the plant could generate $8.54 billion from production, according to a report from Middle Georgia State University’s Center for Economic Analysis. As is, the plant — which will be located on Peach County land that’s 25 miles from Macon — could become one of Middle Georgia’s biggest employers. A potential second phase of the project could bring in another 3,000 jobs and another $3 billion in investment, according to the agreement with Audi. The Middle Georgia State report also noted an additional 4,500 jobs could be generated on top of the initial 4,500 promised from the plant’s opening. Jobs in supply chain logistics, warehousing and transportation will crop up to ensure the production of Audi’s premium SUVs, said Greg George, director of MGA’s Center

Defense steps up for Kell in win over Houston County
MARIETTA -- Kell coach Bobby May said his team would have to win the turnover battle to prevail against Houston County, and the Longhorns prevailed on both counts. They forced four turnovers and made two critical defensive stops in a 37-17 win over the Bears at the Stockyard in a first-round Class AAAAAA state playoff game. “Our defense played a hell of a game,” May said. “Offensively, obviously, we gave up the ball too much, but, thankfully, our defense stepped up and not only forced turnovers, but we got a couple of fourth-down stops.” The 15th-seeded Longhorns (9-2) advanced to play second-seeded Lee County on the road next Friday. The Trojans routed Northside (Warner Robins) 55-0. Kell overcame a shaky start -- it fumbled on its first offensive play -- with a pair of critical defensive plays. They stopped 18th-seeded Houston County (5-6) on a fourth down to end their first offensive possession. When Houston County got the ball back, running back Austin Stinson caught a screen pass, spun out of a tackle near midfield and took the ball 69 yards to the 1-yard line. The Bears then fumbled the ball away and Kell returned it past midfield. A few

Northeast offense explodes for 49-28 playoff victory over Thomson
Star sophomore quarterback Jordan Wiggins, who is ranked as a 3-star prospect by 247sports, accounted for six touchdowns Friday night, leading Northeast to a 49-28 victory over Thomson in the first round of the GHSA Class AAA football playoffs. The No. 11-seeded Raiders improved to 9-2 and advanced to the second round behind four touchdown passes and two scoring runs from Wiggins, who repeatedly escaped pressure and punished the Bulldog secondary downfield with deep balls to his speedy receivers. No. 22 seed Thomson finished their season tonight 5-6. “He’s just continuing to grow,” Northeast coach Jeremy Wiggins said of his son. The game opened with both offenses struggling to sustain drives. Jordan Wiggins was intercepted in the first quarter as he tried to throw the ball out of bounds, but Thomson failed to take advantage, turning the ball over on downs. Northeast broke through early in the second quarter when Wiggins connected with Scottavian Thomas on a beautifully-placed moon ball that went for a 50-yard touchdown score. A missed extra point left the Raiders ahead 6-0. Thomson responded with a physical drive on the ground that was capped off with a direct snap to running back Zay Brinson, whose 1-yard
