Bibb County School District lifted its delay on fall sports on Wednesday, Region 3-2A secretary Matt Godwin of Bleckley County told AJC.

That puts the football season back on track for GHSA members Central, Howard, Northeast, Rutland, Southwest and Westside. Those schools are slated to begin play on Sept. 11 except Southwest (Sept. 18), according to the master schedule found on GHSA.net.

Godwin said the return softball will be handled individually between the schools.

Earlier this month, Bibb Schools announced an indefinite postponement of all fall sports, but the football teams were allowed to continue practicing.

It’s unclear what developments led to the school district lifting the postponement, but the Bibb Athletics Twitter account posted a vague hype video announcing the return of its fall sports Wednesday morning.
