With the conclusion of Fall 2018, five new teams were added to the BLITZ Hall of Fame. 

CRITERIA

1. MUST be in our coverage area: Habersham Central, Stephens Co (since 2014), White Co, Jefferson (beginning in 2018-19), Dawson Co, Lumpkin Co, Rabun Co (since 2013), Union Co, Banks Co, Towns Co, Commerce & Tallulah Falls (since 2016) [a few exceptions to this rule with explanations provided!]
2. These are teams of a single season (not a dynasty, although many of these teams were constantly making deep runs that peaked at this time; some exceptions).
3. MUST have made it to a State Championship game or Semifinals game, although a Semifinal run doesn’t automatically get them here…a state title game will (For Cross Country, Wrestling, Cheer, etc, teams that were champs or runner-up).
4. Teams that win back-to-back or consecutive titles will be grouped together (Commerce wrestling & cheer; Towns girls cross country)

BANKS COUNTY LADY LEOPARDS

Banks County finished as State Runner-Up in 2018. The Lady Leopards’ playoff run included a day in Columbus where the team had rare back-to-back-to-back-to-back (4 straight) homeruns.

The Lady Leopards (29-10) earned a #2 state ranking, were region and state runners-up, and scored 253 total runs, or 6.5 per game.

JEFFERSON LADY DRAGONS

Jefferson (30-8) was ranked as high as #2 in the state, were Region Champions and made it to the 3A State Title Game! The Lady Dragons were electric in all phases of the game, and scored 237 runs (6.2/game) and had dominant pitching and defense from wire to wire.

UNION COUNTY PANTHERS

The Panthers won Union County’s first-ever State Championship in any sport. It came on the heels of coming in second in region before turning it up to a new level when it mattered most.

DAWSON COUNTY LADY TIGERS

The Lady Tigers competition squad pulled out a state runner-up finish and won another region title! Our team of the year for the third straight season.

COMMERCE LADY TIGERS

The Lady Tigers competition squad pulled out a state runner-up finish and won another region title! This program has consistently been one of the best, finishing in the top 5 each year since 2012.
