The Georgia Athletic Coaches Association and Atlanta Journal Constitution Newspaper released its all-state teams back in March when the Coronavirus pandemic shut down the high school sports world. When you receive all state honors it is a special moment and honor. Some familiar faces from the Savannah area received that distinction on the GACA and AJC 2019-2020 All-State teams and deserve their recognition. Fourteen players made the GACA South All-State teams and two Coaches earned Region Coaches of the Year. On the AJC All-State team nine players received first, second, or honorable mention honors. Congratulations to all players and coaches.
