The Tournament
Teams: 8
How determined:

Champion: Fort Valley
School Title: 3rd
Final Record:
Coach: Norman Faircloth
Notes:

Other Notes:

  • Had Telfair County made the remainder of their 17 free throws (they hit nine), they still would not have defeated Clinch County in the semifinals. But free throws did make the difference in the game. Telfair's foul happy squad sent Clinch to the line for 42 shots, with the Panthers connecting on 37.
