Nearly two dozen northeast Georgia area schools covered by AccessWDUN Sports will be in action on Tuesday, one of the busiest nights of the season so far, with all but two games involving key region matchups.

The first half of the 2023-24 season is over and most everyone is now fully invested in region play. With that, and the drive toward the playoffs under way, nearly a dozen northeast Georgia area girls teams come into Tuesday’s action ranked in the latest Sandy’s Spiel poll.

Blake Corum ran for 134 yards and two fourth-quarter touchdowns as Jim Harbaugh and No. 1 Michigan completed a three-year climb to a national championship by beating No. 2 Washington 34-13 Monday night in the College Football Playoff title game.

Desperately looking to avoid an 0-2 hole to start Region 8-6A play, Habersham Central turned to what it does best on Saturday.

Only three games on the schedule for Saturday involve region showdowns, but each could have implications down the road.

Union County stayed perfect in Region 8-2A with an 81-71 win over Athens Academy at home on Friday.

Cherokee Bluff and Chestatee took big wins in Region 8-4A while Buford rolled to a dominating win in Region 8-7A on Friday.

There’s no good time to be on a cold streak. But there are definitely certain times when teams want to be riding a hot streak.

All but one game on Friday's schedule involves region contests as virtually every region in northeast Georgia has some key matchups on tap.

Austin Crowley scored 25 points, Andre Curbelo recorded a triple-double and Southern Miss beat Georgia State 79-73 on Thursday night.
