However, the biggest matchup on the girls has Class 3A No. 1-ranked Pickens (5-0, 1-0 Region 6-3A) heading to No. 11 Lumpkin County (4-2, 1-0 Region 6-3A).
On the boys side, the biggest matchup will have Class 5A No. 3 Habersham Central (6-1, 0-0 Region 8-5A) taking on No. 8 Winder-Barrow (8-1, 0-0 Region 8-5A) in both teams' Region 8-5A openers.
In Region 7-5A for the boys, No. 2-ranked Gainesville (4-3, 2-0 Region 7-5A) will play host to Roswell (4-4, 1-2 Region 7-5A). In between the girls and boys games. Gainesville will officially rename the gym "Davis-Hill Gym" after former coaches Jerry Davis and Manson Hill.

Hill led the Lady Red Elephants to state titles in 1994 and again in 2001, 2003, and 2004 in a second stint with the program.
