The first round of the high school football playoffs gets underway this week in the GHSA, GIAA, and GAPPS, with 15 northeast Georgia area teams ready to begin the quests for what they hope are state titles.
Not only is it the busiest week of the season in terms of number of games, but Week 11 may be the biggest week of the season with playoff fates hanging in the balance for a dozen teams in the northeast Georgia area.
Week 6 could be a pivotal week for several area teams already involved in region play. Meanwhile, three more regions 8-5A, 7-3A, and GAPPS 11-man all open their region schedules this week with some critical matchups.
