Ga no longer has 7A.
6A is now the highest.

Basketball makes sense. Give 3 full rides to prospects and let the other 2 guys be full tuition payers and you can win a lot.

Colquitt is gonna wreck shop again I think. Thomas County is currently on top of the game. Thomas recently took out Loundes County out of Valdosta.

The Packers compete in region 1 7A within Georgia's highest public school classification of 7A and are a GHSA member school.

6A private school would be a huge enrollment private school I would think? Unless they play up?


The privates have different rules since the GHSA views them as having an unfair advantage for recruiting. We were the size of a 2A school when I was in highschool but had to play up in 4A (out of 5 at the time) and still won about 90% of the time

You are right. What was the reasoning or do you know?

The GHSA reclassifies its member schools every two years. Here’s how the latest reclassification and football changes will reshape this season.

*Fewer classes: The GHSA has seven classifications this year instead of eight. Class 7A is gone, and Class 6A is the highest. After running with eight classes since the 2015 football season, the GHSA hopes contraction will make classes deeper and more competitive, give schools simpler scheduling and lighter travel and make all sports easier to manage.

Assessment: Fewer classes will make 6A, 5A, 4A and A Division II deeper and stronger. The other classes will be weaker without private schools in their playoffs. Seven classes and only 56 regions (instead of 64) are easier to manage. The new private playoff division and the ratings formula (explained below) will add more work. Fewer classifications will not reduce travel.

*Private playoffs: The 25 private schools playing region schedules in classes 3A to A will play among public schools in the regular season, then enter their own state playoff. So while it’s seven classes, it’s still eight championships. The 3A-A private division is the latest version of what produced private-only football champions from 2012 through 2021. After the GHSA abolished Class A Private following the 2021 season, small private schools dominated classes 3A through A in all sports, winning 75 state titles over two years, up from the 33 when they were most recently contained.

Is Walton still a good football program?

10-15 years ago they had some great players that went on to college football.
