"AS IF WE WERE GHOSTS", COMING TO GEORGIA PUBLIC BROADCASTING

Welcome to the Georgia High School Basketball Project!

This website is attempting to chronicle some historical aspects of the high school game in Georgia. The main focus is collecting scores and data about the various state tournaments held since 1922.

Also on this site's agenda are pages of school nicknames and dates each school has existed. With all the changes and shifts Georgia has gone through in the past 100 years, the big list on the GHSBP website is expected to grow considerably as new information is found.

There are also a few other interesting historical quirks and stories that are offered for readers to peruse. A detailed listing of the 1976-80 Lowndes Vikettes' winning streak is one of the highlights.

Being a proud graduate, a website about high school basketball in Berrien County is in the works as well. It will feature past scores, rosters, and other historical data.

recent updates
02/27/2012: Some state champions are being crowned a little early! Though actually, it's quite a bit late. Recent research has identified two missing GIA champs. So, though it's a few decades later, congratulations to the Cook County Training girls and Edison Negro boys on winning the 1956 Class B titles. Both squads defeated Blackshear's Lee Street in the finals. Edison Negro High's was a last gasp title, as they would close that year and with other Calhoun County segregated high schools, be consolidated into the new H.T. Singleton High, located in Morgan. Things have also been clarified and Peter G. Appling has been confirmed as 1963 girls' Class AA champion.
