Saturday’s Central Georgia - and of interest to Central Georgia - news and notes, compiled from staff reports, email reports, the web, and social media.

 

In Coverage: Hancock Central couldn’t get the accuracy down from floor, and Towns County stopped the Bulldogs from defending their Class A Public title. Also, the week’s championship box scores in one place.

 

In Coverage: As always, Central Georgia’s only no-days-off all-sports Scoreboard, filled with relevance and names and stats and information. Almost a dozen spring sports, plus area/state colleges, and the only place to find out what happened is The Sports Report.
