Georgia high school football games rescheduled for Hurricane Helene
READER NOTE: This list is no longer being updated, to see the latest GHSA football games schedule, go to our lists of Friday night and Saturday games.
Parts of Georgia are likely to experience severe weather this week as Hurricane Helene strengthens and heads toward the Gulf Coast.
The storm system is predicted to make landfall as Category 3 storm along the Florida Big Bend region on Thursday evening, according to the National Weather Service. Much of southwest Georgia is under a hurricane warning and parts of the area, including Thomas and Colquitt counties, could see winds of more than 110 mph.
Gov. Brian Kemp declared a state of emergency Tuesday, calling up 500 national guard troops to prepare for and respond to the storm and the damage expected to impact the lower half of the state.
Dozens of high school football programs have opted to move their games to minimize impact from the storm.
The following list will be updated as we get more information on game changes. Check back regularly for the latest. Note that the list is in order of rescheduled date. Schools that have not yet selected a new date are listed at the end of the full list.
