GHSA reclassification appeals could alter local region assignments

The Georgia High School Association’s Reclassification Committee convenes again Thursday to hear region assignment appeals in Thomaston.

The official agenda lists several appeals that could alter the original region (7-AAAAA) assigned for Cartersville, Cass, and Woodland.

There are also requests that could alter Region 6-AAA where Adairsville resides.

Villa Rica, assigned to Region 7-AAAAA for 2022, is asking to be moved out of the league and into Region 5-AAAAA. If successful, that would leave Region 7-AAAAA with six schools instead of the current seven school assignment.

In Class AAA, Gilmer and Pickens are requesting a lateral move into Region 6-AAA from Region 7-AAA.

Region 6-AAA and Region 7-AAA both have nine schools under the current assignments. If successful, the Gilmer and Pickens appeals would create an 11-team league and a full 10-game region schedule for football in 6-AAA.
