The second-annual Georgia High School Football Media Day returns July 24-25 with two new locations and two full days of unprecedented access to the state’s top talent and programs. Kickoff to the 2024 season is right around the corner and after a successful inaugural event in 2023 that saw 85 teams participate, this year’s lineup includes a second day and flag football teams from across the state. Both days will run from 10 a.m. to 6:15 p.m. Wednesday, July 24 will take place in Atlanta at the Mechanical Trades Institute building, a state-of-the-art facility where players will be highlighted, promoted, and celebrated. In addition, there will be multiple trade unions in attendance with displays focused on welding, plumbing, and heating and air for players to learn through a hands-on experience about several career opportunities after they graduate high school.
On Thursday, Westside High School in Macon, Ga. will host the event and focus on prestigious programs in middle and south Georgia, and will include two state champions from 2023, Coffee and Pierce County. The proliferation of flag football in Georgia and nationwide presents a great opportunity for this year’s teams to be highlighted before their season kicks off and the sport’s rapid rise is set to reflect the increased spotlight the sport will have on it this season with events like the first-ever Corky Kell + Dave Hunter Flag Football Kickoff Classic in October.
Georgia High School Football Media Day will air exclusively on the Atlanta News First app and the National Federation High School Network. The live programming will feature On3′s Rusty Mansell, Drive for the GHSA State Title gameday host Kaylee Mansell, and Score Atlanta’s Craig Sager II and Najeh Wilkins.
The event will feature prominent outlets like 92.9 The Game, 247Sports, On3, and local media including newspapers and radio stations onsite interviewing players and coaches throughout the day. Additionally, Georgia High School Football Media Day is taking place during the GHSA’s acclimation week that limits teams to just two hours of practice per day. Georgia continues to be the hotbed for the top high school football in the country and this event provides another component that sets the state apart from the rest of the country. Nationally-ranked programs and state title contenders stack the lineup, including two-time defending state champion Prince Avenue Christian and Class 6A’s Douglas County, North Gwinnett, Norcross, Collins Hill, Walton and McEachern. This year’s lineup will also offer an opportunity to catch up with many of the new coaching hires in the state—including Cedar Grove’s Roderick Moore and Cambridge’s Tyler Jones.
