Classification realignment has come, meaning regions across the GHSA will look very different in most sections of the state. Maybe the biggest change is the reintegration of private schools with public schools, something I have plenty of thoughts about but would be better served expressing my opinions through a different medium such as the Spielin’ & Dealin’ Podcast. With that being said, the shuffling around of classifications has enhanced some state title hopes while all but extinguishing others.  Continue reading 2022-23 Preseason GHSA Girls State Rankings

As the new saying goes, state titles are won and lost in the offseason. Who knew the housing market was so good this summer? Continue reading 2021-22 Preseason GHSA Boys State Rankings

What an offseason it was – or wasn’t depending on who you are. We are fortunate to be playing basketball in this current whacky climate.
