High 5 Sports recap – Week Five
ATLANTA - Award season may have come to an end, but it is fall and Georgia, so it is high school football season. It also is homecoming season.
While the best in TV have received their awards, high school across the state are battling to get their own.
Some of those awards come early in the form of the High 5 Sports Hand Trophy, but all have their eyes on state titles.
And this week is make or break as region play gets into full swing.
Here is a quick recap of all the action:
