You get a state title, and you get a state title and you get a state title!
It rained state championships in Atlanta Public Schools (APS) this basketball season as the district was the only school system in the state to have two separate schools win a title on the varsity level and one junior varsity title as well.

The Atlanta Wolfpack won the 2017 Adaptive Sports Junior Varsity state championship last week.
The Atlanta Wolfpack, the APS wheelchair basketball team, defeated the Houston County Sharks, 40-22, to win the junior varsity wheelchair basketball state championship on March 4, at Hull Middle School in Duluth (Gwinnett County). The Sharks had defeated the Wolfpack in previous meetings between the two teams, but the APS squad – made up of players from Carver, Douglass, and South Atlanta High School, as well as Long Middle School and Perkerson Elementary School – would not be denied this year.

The Mays girls won the GHSA Class AAAAAA state championship, last Thursday at Stegeman Coliseum on the campus of UGA in Athens.
Five days later on March 9, the Mays girls defeated Harrison (Cobb County), 52-51, to win the Georgia High School Association (GHSA) Class AAAAAA basketball state championship at Stegeman Coliseum on the campus of the University of Georgia in Athens. The Raiders were led, as they were throughout the season, by senior guard Kamiyah Street, who scored 26 points. She made four-of-six free throws in the game’s final minute to help seal the win against the Hoyas, who kept the game close all night.
Then on March 11, the South Atlanta boys led from start to finish and put an emphatic exclamation point on its season with a 68-33 win over Swainsboro (Emanuel County) in the Class AA state title game. The Hornets led by 14 points at halftime and never looked back. South Atlanta was led in scoring by Devonta Pullins with 20 points and Jalen Stegall added 15. The Hornets sealed the deal this season after coming up a bit short previously. They lost to Morgan County in the state semifinals last season and again to Morgan County in the 2015 quarterfinals. But this year, South Atlanta closed the deal in style.
Congrats to our three state champions in basketball!
