With the Kell Classic and a handful of other football games kicking off last week, the 2010 high school football season has begun. However, the real action takes place this weekend, with a full slate of games scheduled for Friday and Saturday. So with the first full week of the high school football season upon us, let’s preview the upcoming season by taking a look at each county. Gwinnett County always has talented teams and this year is no different. North Gwinnett got their season off on the right foot with a 34-14 win over Cobb County powerhouse Lassiter.  Saturday will be when they face Bob Jones High School, a team from Madison, Ala., in the Progressive Football Challenge. “I think our team and community enjoy branching out and playing a national schedule,” North Gwinnett head coach Bob Sphire said.

Anyone can put together a list of the best 10 or six or 11 football players in state, but how thorough would that list really be? Score Atlanta decided to comprise a list at least four times better than any other list in the state for the 2010 football season. Our list won’t have simply 11 players. Oh no. Score Atlanta is proud to present the Score 44, aka the 44 best senior players in the state of Georgia. Score Atlanta loves high school football and wants to give back to the athletes that provide such joy for 16 weeks a year.

The list was partially unveiled on last week’s “Official Visit” show on 790 the Zone. Tonight, 11 more will be recognized on the show.
