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
03-26-09: My aim is to a little more housekeeping, but it'll have to wait for a couple of weeks to really get going. For now, the nicknames section has been overhauled and updated. There is still more updating to do on the current GHSA schools as I have not gone through and gotten nicknames for all the current non-football playing schools. If you notice, all nickname sections include dates. That means that the little 'dates' link up top really serves no purpose. I'm going to do away with it when the housekeeping really begins.

12-27-08: In the "perhaps only locally interesting" file are updates to Berrien County's rural schools. Known historical scores have been added for Alapaha, Cottle, Enigma, Nashville, New Lois, New River, Poplar Springs, and Ray City.

12-15-08: New piece of writing - Unusual Gyms. Of bandboxes and green barns. Small tidbit added to the page on Fitzgerald girls' basketball (in the 'Misc.' section). A good bit of new Berrien stuff has been put together, but has not been added.

Berrien and retro photos. More of these have been scanned and added.
