Thanksgiving is a time to show appreciation for what you have, no matter how much, how little, or how it compares to others. A handful of local football programs have been blessed with the opportunity to not only win a state title this year, but to repeat as state champions. Although Gainesville, Buford and Jefferson may have the most to be thankful for as they prepare for their state quarterfinal matchups tomorrow night, each of the area’s teams can find something to be grateful for — even under the most difficult of circumstances.
