The Tournament
Teams: 19
How determined: 12 district winners and runners-up

Champion: Tech
School Title: 1st
Final Record:
Coach: Claude "Gabe" Tolbert
Notes: Tech was also the GIAA runner-up.

Other Notes:

  • Twelve district winners and runners-up would seem to indicate that 24 total teams participated. Five teams opted out, either because of school work or not being members of the GHSA.
  • Until 1950, this was the only GHSA tournament to feature district/region runners-up.
