From 2009-2013, Hall County high school basketball programs made five trips to the state semifinals. The Gainesville and North Hall boys twice reached the semis during that five-year span, while the Lady Trojans also went to the Final Four in 2012. And every season on both the boys’ and girls’ side, a number of programs in Hall County — one of the finest in the state for prep hoops — manage to make deep playoff runs across multiple classifications.
