I sat on this news for a bit, but I think I can now let the cat out of the bag. After 2 years in the freelancing wilderness, I'll soon be back in the game full-time. Beginning sometime next week, I'll start making the commute up I-985 to join the staff at the @gtimessports. (1/5)

As fall sports wind down and football heads into the playoffs, it's time to start looking at high school basketball. @gtimessports has you covered, starting with a team-by-team look at the girls #HallHoops teams' prospects for 2026-27.

Also yesterday, kudos to @NorthHallXC boys on winning the Class 4A state cross country title, while the girls placed third. Additionally, teams from @Chestatee_Track, @CBluffXCTF, @johnsonknights and @BranchAthletics also had a good date. #HallXC
