          That Central Georgia was home to some of the best kickers in the state, and Southeast, isn’t news to high school football fans in, well, certainly Central Georgia.

          More evidence: the first-team selections of Northside’s Cori Munson, Warner Robins’ Eli Mashburn, Peach County’s Mitchell Fineran and Macon County’s Abisai Gutierrez to first-team all-state selection by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Recruit Georgia.
