This past year’s combined efforts of student-athletes at Commerce High School won the school its first-ever BLITZ Cup. The coveted award is handed out annually to the Northeast Georgia area high school that accumulates the most performance-based points during the school year.
Points are awarded across all sports programs for winning seasons, region titles, state playoff berths, state rankings, Player of the Year awards, and more.
This is Commerce’s first-ever win. The Tigers pulled ahead in the BLITZ Cup standings last winter and stayed at the top of the rankings for the remainder of the school year.
White County placed second, just six points shy of Commerce. Habersham Central dropped one spot to last place in the rankings after coming in eleventh last year.
