Division by subtraction
(Misty Watson) For the past five years, Whitfield County middle schools, including Eastbrook and Westside, left, have competed in a league that doesn’t include Dalton. North Georgia Middle School Athletic League president Stan Stewart, Westside’s principal, believes it has resulted in a more even playing field for the league, which also includes Murray County’s Bagley and Gladden. But Dalton Middle officials say the situation has created lots of challenges for their school’s athletic teams, which must travel farther for away games, resulting in logistical, financial and academic difficulties. Both sides met last fall to discuss possible changes to the league.
On fall Friday nights, some of the area’s most anticipated high school football matchups occur when Dalton High takes on its rivals from another school system, Whitfield County’s Northwest and Southeast.
