Continue ReadingThe class that people seem to forget is Class 6A. You know the old saying, ” The field is wide open?” Literally, this field is wide open. 20 of the 32 teams in the field ,were ranked in the top 10 this season. 4 of the 8 region champs in 6A has 9 losses or more. Apalachee won Region 8 with a 11-16 record. One thing that is certain, Langston Hughes high is still the cream of the crop. Since GHSA went to 7 classes in 2017, Langston Hughes has won both of the 6A state titles. They don’t have the stars like last year’s team, but they still have enough to 3-peat. Throw in Tri-Cities,Alexander, Coffee,South Cobb, and Tucker, 6A is up for grabs. Let’s dig a little deeper in 6A.
