Scoring Points: GHSA Football Playoffs are here

The 2020 Georgia High School Association Playoffs are here!

That is a statement that I did not think that I would be able to say at the start of this season. We have seen games get cancelled, postponed, moved and rescheduled all year. But alas, we have made it!

Now is when the COVID concerns become really serious, as I will remind you that if a team is forced to miss a game in the playoffs due to COVID protocols, then they will be forced to forfeit and the other team will move on without having to play.

It is a terrible situation, but really the only thing that can be done. We cannot postpone the entire GHSA post season if one team is unable to play. We wish the best to all the teams that made it, and want to especially congratulate those in our coverage area on a great season!

The Fannin County Rebels won the Region 7AA championship and were able to host a home playoff game on Saturday.

The White County Warriors unfortunately fell to Rockmart in their first round playoff game on Friday night, 48-35.

The Union County Panthers traveled to Heard County on Saturday to play in their Region 7aa first round playoff game.

Dawson County was able to go on the road to Adairsville and beat the Tigers 45-31 and advance to the second round.

Number 1 seeded Cherokee Bluff was able to beat LaFayette and get their first ever playoff victory for their program.

#TeamFYNSports encourages everyone to show their support for their local student athletes and we hope you got out their this weekend and were cheering on your hometown team.

We also want to let you basketball fans know that we realize basketball season is right upon us and we will be switching our main coverage over to hoops after the football playoffs are over!
