With the 2023-24 basketball season barely two weeks old, another region, 7-3A, will get its region schedule under way while Region 8-4A will have several key matchups around the area on Tuesday.

The Region 8-A Division I All-Region team was released on Monday and the Commerce Tigers, the Region 8-A D1 champions, dominated the awards.

Buford's KJ Bolden was named the Region 8-7A Defensive Player of the Year as the Region 8-7A All-Region team was released on Monday.

The Flowery Branch girls and Jackson County boys took wins on Monday in Hoschton.

The Atlanta Falcons are back at .500 and have a bit of breathing room atop the NFC South. Their defense deserves all the credit.

The four-team version of the College Football Playoff is going out with drama and controversy.

The Johnson girls and East Hall boys both moved into the main bracket of the Lanierland tournament with wins on Saturday in the play-in games.

For the first 12 minutes and one play, Jefferson could do no wrong. For the rest of the 36 minutes, it seemed nothing went right for the Dragons in their Class 5A semifinal matchup with Creekside.

If you needed more evidence that the East Hall boys may be on track to resume their former winning ways, Thursday may have been the biggest clue yet.

Towns County built a big early lead and had to hold on down the stretch to Tallulah Falls, 47-44, on the road on Thursday.
