With the closing of the winter sports season, we give the second update to the BLITZ Cup Standings. The BLITZ Cup is given each year to the school in our coverage area that accumulates the most points. Points are given for state playoff appearances, winning seasons, region titles, state rankings, playoff wins/deep runs, Player of the Week and Year awards, and more. The BLITZ Cup is a traveling trophy that resides with the winning school for an entire year until a new school wins it. Each winner is engraved on the trophy’s placard for each winner since its inception in 2009-10. Currently, Rabun County holds the trophy as the winner from 2021-22.
