Douglas County

The Tigers feature a loaded offense full of talented skill players, but they will no longer have Sire Hardaway under center to get them the ball.

Set to fill his shoes is Alpharetta transfer DJ Bordeaux, a three-star dual-threat quarterback that threw for 2,466 yards and 26 touchdowns as a sophomore last season.

If Bordeaux finds his groove in this high-powered offense, the Tigers may be poised to make another deep run in the Class 6A playoffs this year

Cedar Grove

The Saints picked up their second state title in the past three seasons with a 49-28 victory over Savannah Christian in last year's Class 3A state finals.

Elliott Colson threw for 259 yards and four touchdowns to four different receivers in that game, and the UCF commit is back for his senior season to help Cedar Grove try to defend its title in 2024.
