Georgia teams go 1-1 on first day of Border Classic

Georgia and Florida spit the first two games of the Georgia vs. Florida Border Classic on Thursday, with co-host Glynn Academy beating Baker County 27-20 and Charlton County losing to University Christian 40-13.

Games resume today at Glynn County Stadium in Brunswick with Fitzgerald vs. Madison County at 4:30 p.m. and Coffee vs. Bolles at 8. Saturday’s games are McIntosh County Academy vs. West Nassau at 1 p.m., Richmond Hill vs. Creekside at 4, and Brunswick vs. St. Augustine at 7:30.

Brunswick-St. Augustine is probably the marquee matchup. St. Augustine is ranked No. 7 in Florida’s Class 3S, though Coffee handled St. Augustine 34-14 last season.

Georgia teams won four of the seven games in 2022, the first year of the event.
