The Trojans finished their regular season a perfect 10-0; see who they and Kell will be playing in the state playoffs next weekend.
Lassiter High School has been perfect before in a football regular season. But this time, the Trojans will enter the state playoffs with an even loftier status than in 2009, when they fell to Colquitt County in the first round after going 10-0. Thanks to Colquitt's stunning win over No. 1 Camden County on Friday, second-ranked Lassiter is expected to take over the top spot in the polls when the Georgia High School Association playoffs begin next weekend. Lassiter, which rolled over Etowah 34-6 on Friday to post a perfect 10-0 regular season, will play host to Brookhaven in the first round.

A new principal also was appointed on Thursday for Sprayberry High School.
One of three staff furlough days imposed by the Cobb Board of Education for the 2012-13 school year has been eliminated. By a 5-2 vote, the board granted on Thursday a paid workday to teachers and support staff that will cost the Cobb County School District an estimated $3 million, to come from reserve funds. Voting against the measure were Tim Stultz, of Post 2 in the Smyrna area, and Kathleen Angelucci, of Post 4 in North Cobb. They objected because of another significant deficit anticipated for the 2013-14 school year. Superintendent Michael Hinojosa said no detailed analysis has been done, but estimated the hole will be "at least" $40 million. In May, the board approved the three furlough days in closing a $62 million gap to balance …

On Thursday the Board of Education is expected to appoint a successor to Ed Wagner, now at Kell.
The Cobb Board of Education is expected to vote on a recommendation to reduce one of three staff furlough days during its Thursday business meeting. The meeting takes place at 7 p.m. in the boardroom of the Cobb County School District central office, 514 Glover Street, Marietta. Superintendent Michael Hinojosa has proposed taking back one of the furlough days as "a good gesture to send to our employees" after a painful fiscal year 2012 budget process that resulted in more than $60 million in cuts. But at a Sept. 12 work session, board members Tim Stultz and Alison Bartlett expressed opposition to the furlough reduction. District officials estimated the furlough cut would cost $3 million. Also on the board agenda Thursday are several …
