The Athens Banner-Herald sports crew has a lot of catching up to do. That's why they start off with Oconee County's runner-up run to the state championship before discussing the Best of Preps All-Area teams for the fall. Then they get up to speed on the winter season, with basketball and wrestling. Does Cedar Shoals have a team to win it all? Is Kayla McPherson going to lead Madison County to a title? We talk about Athens Academy's Kurt Knisely and Graham Blanks. Oconee County's Max Johnson and more from the Warriors' run to the state title game. Coach of the year Chris Smith and Madison County's run. 

We dive into every team in the area with brief recaps of scores, stats and much more. So tune in to the Best of Preps Podcast! Each week from the Athens Banner-Herald.
