Athens is about one hour from Atlanta, but Atlanta is ringed with football factories in the bedroom communities of Gwinnett even closer to Athens. In fact, if you drive down Hwy 316, Athens and the Atlanta suburbs are almost connected the way it’s growing. I swear football in those places from Rome, Cartersville, Roswell, Alpharetta, all the way to Buford is like what Soccer is to Brazil. I know South Ga doesn’t want to hear it, because Colquitt County is #1 in 8A, but N Ga is just stacked. North Ga is like the SEC of high school football and if Georgia Tech gets another coach I’m sure they will be back getting four star players from these parts. They got Calvin Johnson when Chan Gaily was there. Our problem now is getting Clemson out of our footprint.
