Region 6-6A is basically the old Region 6-7A, mostly an All-Forsyth County region, with Alpharetta, North Forsyth and North Atlanta, minus Milton, added in this reclass cycle.

Defending Class 7A champion Buford opened its 2024 season with a 9-2 win over River Ridge on Thursday on the road.

North Hall opened its season on Thursday with a sweep of Flowery Branch and Gilmer a tri-match at Flowery Branch.

Stephen Curry scored 36 points, including a go-ahead 3-pointer with 2:16 left, and the U.S. will play for gold in the Paris Olympics on Saturday night after beating Serbia 95-91.

This is one stacked region -- at least at the top. Milton is the defending Class 7A state champion. Gainesville played for the Class 6A title in 2022. Roswell has won 33 games since 2021.

The U.S. and Australia are set for the next chapter in their international women's basketball rivalry at the Olympics.

Region 8-5A should be wide-open as only Habersham Central and Loganville made the 2023 playoffs and the new seven team region as a whole was just 27-45 overall in 2023 and no team posted a winning record.

Blake Perkins was 3 for 5 with three RBIs and the Milwaukee Brewers had 16 hits in an 8-5 victory over the slumping Atlanta Braves on Wednesday night.

Emma Siver tripled in the game’s only run in the bottom of the seventh to give East Forsyth a thrilling 1-0 win over North Hall on Wednesday at home.

Most of the teams in the region will be in flux with roster turnover due to graduation. But three-time defending champ North Oconee always seem to reload and has a solid mix of upper and underclassmen on the roster.
