The Portal Lady Panthers flag football team made history Thursday night, defeating Dodge County 14-0 to capture the 2026 Division 1 Area 4 Championship, the first Area or Region Championship in program history.

Georgia officials tracking invasive tegus that can grow 4 feet long

A large invasive lizard native to South America has established a wild population in southeast Georgia , and state wildlife officials are asking residents to report sightings as they work to keep the reptiles from spreading. The Argentine black and white tegu can grow up to 4 feet long and weigh 10 pounds or more, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. DNR says Georgia's only known wild population is in Toombs and Tattnall counties. The agency has been investigating reports of the reptiles in the area since 2018. Although tegus are occasionally reported in other parts of Georgia, DNR says those sightings generally involve escaped or released pets rather than additional established wild populations. Where have invasive tegus been found in Georgia? The only known wild population of Argentine black and white tegus in Georgia is in Toombs and Tattnall counties, according to DNR. The agency began investigating reports in eastern Toombs County and western Tattnall County in 2018. DNR is working with the public and other partners to track sightings, trap the reptiles and assess the population. The University of Georgia's Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health maintains a map of reported Argentine black and white

Long Before You Were Born, These 7 Small-Town Georgia Taverns Were Already Pouring Beer And Flipping Burgers

Some of the best burgers in Georgia are not served in big cities, but in small towns where the local tavern is the place everyone ends up after a long week. These spots sit in old brick buildings, on riverbanks, and beside historic town squares, and many of them carry the kind of history and character a new chain restaurant can never copy.

Longhorns get big test with Houston County

Friday’s first-round Class AAAAAA playoff matchup will pit Kell’s depth against Houston County’s star quality. The Bears (5-5) feature Colorado State-committed running back Austin Stinson, who has rushed for 1,727 yards and 24 touchdowns, and highly recruited wide receiver Jeffery Thomas, who has 979 yards and 10 touchdowns on 72 receptions. “They have a really special running back and a big offensive line,” said Kell coach Bobby May. “For us, we need to stop their best players and take away what they do best. There are still some other players who can make plays, but we feel like if we can make them get to their third option, we’ll feel really confident.” The Longhorns (8-2) counter with Georgia Tech commit Moonie Gipson at running back, who is nearing 100% after rehabbing the ankle injury he suffered in last season's playoffs. Gipson has 612 yards and 11 touchdowns, but the Longhorns also have two other ballcarriers with more than 400 yards rushing this season. Senior wide receiver Brock Burrus has committed to West Virginia and has a 1,000-yard season, but junior quarterback Boston Pierce, Cobb County's leading passer, has completed passes to 10 different receivers. Burrus averages 27.5 yards a reception
