One week of the 2023 high school football season in the books with several Northeast Georgia-area teams living up to their preseason billing, others showing they may be ready to make a move, with several still having some work to do.
Three area teams get under way on Thursday as the 2023 high school football season kicks off around the state and the area. Sixteen more games are scheduled for Friday involving Northeast Georgia teams.
The Falcons missed out on the playoffs in 2022 for the first time since 2016. A pair of close Region 8-5A losses and turnovers at key stages of games led them to their just their second losing season (3-7) since 2004.
