In any change to the landscape of athletic competition, there are winners and losers. That became evident during the highly publicized high school realignment by the Georgia High School Association, and perhaps no school felt the change more than Habersham Central. The Mount Airy school, previously a member of Region 8-AAAA along with Flowery Branch, was elevated two classifications to the new Class AAAAAA, the state’s largest, and placed in Region 7, alongside perennial athletic powers like Collins Hill, North Gwinnett and Norcross, to name a few.
