For the first time in recent memory, more than half a season has passed and four Hall County teams are still sitting atop their respective regions. Such a scenario wasn’t possible until GHSA realignment scattered the seven Hall-based public schools to three different regions — as recently as 2009 they all competed together. Now, spread across 8-AAAAA, 8-AAAA and 7-AAA, Hall County teams own at least a share of the top spot in each region, and two are tied with each other for first place.
