GHSF Daily's 10 Best feature on Thursday reported that Valdosta leads the all-time series with Colquitt County 28-18, to which a reader noted that the Wildcats and Packers have played 103 times. And that's true if the Moultrie Packers count. And to many, they do. Colquitt County High officially opened in 1978 as the merger of Moultrie, Doerun and Norman Park high schools. Only Moultrie played football, and the Packers nickname was carried over, so it's a matter of opinion on how to handle those football histories. Here are Georgia high schools that won more than 200 games but exist no more, according to school definitions set by the Georgia High School Football Historians Association.
