Due to the new GHSA Region Realignments, the Brookwood Boys and Girls teams, as well as the Hebron Christian Boys and Girls teams, have had to drop out.
If you would like to fill one of the remaining 2 Boys spots or 2 Girls spots, please contact Coach Tony Cummings or Michele Singletary at the email addresses mentioned in the earlier posts.
Thanks.

We just got a call from the Statesboro Boys Varsity today asking to join the tournament. However, we need another Boys Varsity team to come along with them in order to maintain an even number of teams. Anyone interested in playing?
