Several northeast Georgia area teams will be heading to tournaments over the weekend. But there are several interesting non-tournament, non-region battles set for Friday as well.
Jackson County, Jefferson, and North Forsyth all will head to weekend tournaments but more matchups between 2023 playoff teams is also on tap.
Cherokee Bluff, ranked second in Class 4A, will take on Class 7A eighth-ranked South Forsyth in Cumming. Flowery Branch and Lumpkin County, both playoff teams from last season, meet in Dahlonega.
