Twiggs County wins GHSA reclass appeal

          The only Central Georgia team interesting in moving from one region to another in the GHSA’s latest reclassification was Twiggs County.

          And the Cobras got what they wanted.

          Twiggs County sought to move from Region 4-A to 5-A, and that was approved unanimously on Monday at the reclassification committee’s final appeals meeting, in which teams appealed to move to a different region.

          Initially, Twiggs County was placed with Dooly county, Hawkinsville, Telfair County, Turner County, Wheeler County, and Wilcox County.

The Cobras have spent the last two years with GMC Prep, Glascock County, Johnson County, Hancock Central, and Wilkinson County. The GHSA put Jenkins County in that region and Twiggs in 4-A.

Now, though, Twiggs County is back with familiar teams in that region, dropping 4-A to six teams and increasing 5-A to seven.

Region 7-A Public in 2021 – Twiggs County didn’t play any football in 2020 – had the same teams in the current region –minus Johnson County - as well as ACE Charter and Wilkinson County.

Another appeal affected a Central Georgia region. Swainsboro appealed to leave Region 3-AA, a Savannah-area gathering, for 2-AA with ACE, Bleckley County, Dodge County, Dublin, East Laurens, and Vidalia, and it was approved.
