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

East Paulding takes advantage of South Cobb miscues

MABLETON -- East Paulding led 49-0 at halftime and cruised to a 56-0 Region 5AAAAAA victory over South Cobb at Clay Stadium on Friday in the regular season finale for both teams. East Paulding finished region play with an undefeated 7-0 record to capture the region championship and improved to 10-0 overall on the season, while South Cobb fell to 4-3 in league play and ended the year with a 6-4 mark. The Raiders secured a berth in the Class AAAAAA state playoffs by virtue of their region title and will await their seeding fate after the Georgia High School Association posts final positions from the postseason rankings criteria. The Eagles will miss the playoffs despite a fourth place finish in the region. Up until this year, that would have been good enough to earn a postseason bid. "Guys made a lot of improvement throughout the course of the season," South Cobb coach Marcus Washington, Sr. said. "We have the program going in the right direction, so I'm excited about that. Still, at the end of this ordeal you have to earn the right to play in November. Everybody doesn't get that right. We lost too many games and made

Through its Choose Cobb enrollment program, eligible students who don’t live in Cobb may now apply for available seats at 12 participating schools across the district, beginning in the Spring 2027 semester. The tuition-based program uses existing classroom capacity while generating additional revenue to support participating schools, according to district officials.

In total, four elementary, middle and high schools across Cobb Schools are participating in the program, including: ♦ Vaughan, Puckett’s Mill, Clarkdale and Kennesaw elementary schools; ♦ Lost Mountain, Durham, Cooper and Palmer middle schools; ♦ Harrison, Allatoona, South Cobb and Kell high schools.

Democrats take control of Cobb school board

The slim majority Republicans held on the Cobb County Board of Education was wiped out Tuesday when voters ousted a longtime GOP member. Why it matters: Michael Garza's victory gives Democrats a 4-3 majority and ends the GOP's last foothold in Cobb County. The latest: Garza, whose children attend Cobb County schools, defeated incumbent David Chastain with 55% of the vote. He told Axios he approached his campaign with the message that "this is bigger than just one race and bigger than just one person." He said people have long wanted change for various reasons, ranging from reports of students experiencing racism and antisemitism in the classroom to parents' frustration that their children with disabilities were not getting the services they needed. "To know that those people now see hope that we're going to address those issues and have those honest conversations about really what matters to their families and what matters in our classrooms just means everything to me," he said. What they're saying: Heather Tolley-Bauer is a co-founder of grassroots organization Watching the Funds – Cobb, which for the last five years has been documenting and criticizing spending choices approved by the board. Tolley-Bauer told Axios she hopes

KENNESAW — McEachern capped an undefeated region campaign Friday with a dominant 57-0 victory over Kennesaw Mountain, recording its first shutout of the season as the Indians prepared for the state playoffs. The Indians wasted little time taking control, scoring on its opening possession when quarterback Coby Pittman connected with Zyon Robinson on a 7-yard touchdown pass.

Jarvis Nance scored on a 4-yard run in the fourth quarter before backup quarterback Brentoni James threw a 56-yard touchdown pass to complete the scoring. While McEachern's offense found success throughout the night, its defense delivered an equally impressive performance, holding Kennesaw Mountain scoreless for all four quarters.

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.
