Milton forfeits three games

The Milton Eagles had to give three victories back after it was ruled that guard Charles Mann was not 100% eligible for competition. Milton’s record falls to 4-4 from 7-1, though the team is 3-0 in region play and Mann is now eligible to play for the Eagles moving forward. Milton is ranked the No. 1 team in boys Class AAAAA in the Score Atlanta poll. Buford meanwhile picked up a forfeited win from when Milton, with Mann, defeated the Wolves 71-55 at Buford back in November. ...

According to various media outlets nearly 100 people representing 33 schools met in Rochelle, GA, yesterday to discuss whether or not some of the public schools in the new Class A classification would withdraw from the GHSA and form a new independent organization. The collection of schools, which could climb as high as 45 schools according to one source, would join the Georgia Independent School Association and compete in public schools playoff system. Another option would be to form a third athletics association with the GISA serving in an advisory or managing role. GISA representatives were on hand at the meeting including executive director Jeff Jackson and assistant director Tommy Whittle. Wilcox County head coach Mark Ledford told Macon.com, “I think the turnout showed that it was more than just a few south Georgia schools upset about the classification issues.” The group is planning more meetings over the next few weeks. ...

Etowah is searching for a new head coach after Bill Stewart left the Cherokee County school for a head coaching position in Alabama. Stewart was 47-20 at Etowah over six seasons. Stewart will begin teaching at the new James Clemens High School in Madison, Alabama, on January 2.
