"AS IF WE WERE GHOSTS", COMING TO GEORGIA PUBLIC BROADCASTING IN 2011

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
07/08/2010: Updated GIA section, Tracking the Tracts. In the five months since it's been updated, I've been to many more locations.

07/07/2010: 2010 brackets and teams updated. Nicknames updated to reflect known changes to GHSA membership for 2010 and 2011.

05/15/2010: GIA boys' basketball championship correction: Sylvania Central won the 1967 boys' title, not Eva Thomas. The original GIA books had this correct, but the GHSA had this recorded differently. I lazily did not double check. Thank you, Mr. Marvin Stevens, for pointing this out.

Berrien and retro photos, which are slowly being moved over to Flickr, where I have lots of GIA stuff and some actual photos.
