The Georgia Senate Majority leader is hinting that the state legislature may seek ways to exercise some control over Georgia High School Association (GHSA).
This follows the group’s response to the recent on-field fight between Gainesville High and Brunswick High players during a football playoff game. EARLIER STORY. POSTED WEDNESDAY: GHSA appeals ruling in favor of GHS, Friday game postponed
“It’s pretty shameful on Thanksgiving eve that the Georgia High School Association would delay a Gainesville High School playoff game bc (because) the adults at GHSA don’t wanna do the right thing when a Superior Court judge decides the kids did nothing wrong,” Jason Anavitarte (R-Dallas) wrote in a Facebook and X posting. “Instead of doing the right thing they want to double down and hurt the kids and community. That’s poor sportsmanship that should not exist in our state.”
Anavitarte added “The Senate will be the voice of our students if the adults won’t walk away from a fight they should have never picked.”
So, just exactly what is the GHSA, what are its duties and how did it come to be? You can find out here:
