Grayson BB team has been on the up and up since 2013. Last year they lost in the elite 8. After beating a highly ranked wheeler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was there 1st time ever getting into the playoffs. I believe this was their 2nd trip to the playoffs. They played their first home playoff game, and notched their first playoff win however. This year was a success after narrowly losing in the 2nd round to Norcross after a hard fought contest. Norcross will be playing Tift County in the State Championship. Interesting tidbit, Norcross and Tift County accounted for 4 of Colquitt's 7 loses this year. Its safe to say that Colquitt is deserving of a Top 10 7A ranking. That has never been achieved before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMaximumHornetSting Posted March 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Hope next year Colquitt can get further. Winner of GA 7A and 5A will more than likely go to Dicks National tourney. 5A will probably be Buford. Who is 30-1 after last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
