It was a memorable high school football season in the Greater Savannah area as four teams advanced to the GHSA state semifinals with Savannah Christian, Calvary Day, Benedictine and Bryan County making deep runs, and SCPS advancing to the GHSA state title game.
In SCISA action, Bethesda capped off an undefeated season with a stirring comeback to beat Williamsburg Academy 18-17 for the Class 2A state crown – the first in program history for the Blazers under veteran coach Antwain Turner in his 19th season at the helm
Bryan County also had the best season in school history, just three seasons after a winless campaign. In his fourth year, Cherard Freeman led his squad to its first region title, first playoff win and the Class A Division I Final Four, finishing 12-2.
Turner and Freeman earned All-Greater Savannah Co-Football Coaches of the Year honors for their efforts.
