Georgia high school football scrimmages begin Friday. Here’s the schedule.
The first high school football games of the season are Friday night, though they don’t count. They’re only scrimmages, but they are officiated, and scores are kept.
The GHSA allows teams to play one preseason scrimmage, or two for teams that elected not to have spring practice. The first official games are Aug. 13.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is the only source for statewide scrimmage games, as the GHSA does not compile a schedule for them.
This schedule will be updated, as dates and game details frequently change.
