Around/About Central Georgia

Washington County suddenly needed a game for Friday

It was more than hump day for Washington County on Wednesday.

The Golden Hawks found out that their season opener at Burke County was canceled because of COVID-19 issues with the Bears.

The team and some members of the staff are being quarantined for two weeks because of positive tests among some players. Next week’s game against North Oconee is also canceled.

In short order, though, head coach Joel Ingram was able to get a game, and get it at home. Washington County will now host Swainsboro Friday at 7:30 p.m.

Madison County canceled its game against Holy Innocents.
