The final 2026 Georgia high school baseball rankings are here, and the state playoffs delivered everything from Etowah’s rise to No. 1 to Kell’s stunning championship run from unranked to top 10! See how each GHSA state finals matchup shaped the final top 25. Full article linked in comments. ⬇️

Wet conditions have led to improvement in drought conditions across north and central GA over the last week. While areas of D3-D4 drought continue to shrink across our area, below surface soils remain dry and rainfall totals through the last several months are below normal. #gawx
