The 2024 high school football season in Atlanta has kicked off with a bang, and the excitement is palpable. At the heart of this frenzy is the 33rd Corky Kell + Dave Hunter Classic, a four-day extravaganza that marked the beginning of the GHSA Football Season.
Held at the prestigious Mercedes-Benz Stadium from August 14 to 17, this year's Corky Kell Classic featured an impressive 11-game lineup, showcasing 22 teams, 11 of which made their first-ever appearances in the event. This diverse lineup highlighted the widest range of participants in the event's history.
The grand finale on Saturday, August 17, was particularly thrilling, with four high-stakes games that drew significant attention. The day began with Brookwood facing off against Walton at 10 a.m., followed by Alpharetta battling Houston County at 1 p.m. The afternoon saw a heated Cobb versus Gwinnett County clash between McEachern and North Gwinnett at 4 p.m., and the evening concluded with a historic first meeting between Cedar Grove and Douglas County at 7 p.m.
Each game was broadcast live on the Peachtree Sports Network and streamed digitally on the Atlanta News First app and the National Federation High School Network (NFHS). For those preferring traditional TV, the Saturday games were also aired on Peachtree TV, with live radio coverage provided by 92.9 The Game.
As the season progressed, several teams have made notable strides in the GHSA playoffs. Currently, 64 teams remain in contention for the state championships, which will be held at Mercedes-Benz Stadium from December 16 to 18. Teams like Sequoyah are making waves, having defeated No. 6 Gainesville in the Class 5A first round with a convincing 38-28 victory. Sequoyah's coach, James Teter, emphasized that this win was no surprise to his team, given their strong performance throughout the year in a tough region[3].
Other standout performances include Malachi Fannin-Render of LaGrange, who made a significant impact in his team's rematch against Sandy Creek, and Zylea Dinkins of Westside of Macon, who was named GHSF Daily’s Flag Football Player of the Week after an impressive showing that included three interceptions and two touchdowns[3].
High school football in Atlanta continues to captivate audiences with its thrilling matchups, standout plays, and promising storylines. With the quarterfinals approaching and the state championships on the horizon, the excitement is only building.
