For sake of creativity and civics, Georgia High School Football Daily has placed the GHSA’s 413 football-playing schools into their U.S. congressional districts and ranked them using the computer Maxwell Ratings.
The idea is not that creative, actually. Georgia high school teams in various sports competed for district championships for decades and into the 1950s before the GHSA’s region format took hold.
And who wouldn’t want to be a district champion? Can’t Milton and Walton find time for each other in the 6th District? Shouldn’t Gainesville be calling for the winner of the Oct. 13 Buford-Mill Creek game for the 9th District title? Benedictine has beaten Ware County in Georgia’s 1st District, but what about Brunswick?
If nothing else, this exercise is a chance to learn your district’s fellow constituents and members of Congress.
Note that a team is placed into a district here based on school address and not necessarily where the majority of the school district lies.
