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.
Only two regions involving northeast Georgia area teams have yet to crown champions. And a pair of area teams can win both with wins on the final week of the regular season.
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.
