Georgia High School Basketball Championships Move to Atlanta
The Georgia High School Association (GHSA) has announced that the state basketball championships will be held at the Georgia State Convocation Center in Atlanta for the 2027 and 2028 seasons. The decision comes as construction progresses on a new venue in Macon, forcing the association to seek an alternative site.
Dr. Tim Scott, executive director of the GHSA, said the move builds on a successful partnership with Georgia State University, which has a strong record of hosting high‑profile basketball events. He emphasized that the new location is intended to enhance the experience for student‑athletes and fans alike.
Looking Ahead to 2027
The GHSA took the opportunity to thank Macon for its years of support, noting that the city’s contributions have been instrumental in the growth of the championships. Details regarding schedules, ticketing and logistics will be released in the coming months.
Stakeholders hope the relocation will set a benchmark for future state events, combining modern facilities with a commitment to student‑athlete development. The association plans to reassess its long‑term venue strategy after the 2028 tournament.
