Cedar Grove salvages game vs. Florida team

Cedar Grove’s Aug. 27 game against Edison of Miami is back on.

The two teams had been scheduled to be part of the “Georgia vs. Florida Battle of the Borders,” a tripleheader at DeKalb County’s Hallford Stadium. The three games were canceled last week when Edison, Norland and Hialeah backed out, but Cedar Grove and DeKalb County officials have persuaded Edison to make the trip after all. The other games remain canceled.

Cedar Grove opens Friday night at Bainbridge in another game just added after Bainbridge’s original opponent, Miami Dade Christian, canceled. Cedar Grove, the No. 1-ranked team in Class 3A, now has 10 games, though only two in its home county of DeKalb – against Edison and against Carver of Atlanta in November.

In other scheduling news, Screven County’s home game against GSIC has been moved up to Thursday because of an officials shortage. It was announced last week that Liberty County would play at Southeast Bulloch on Thursday for the same reason.
