Local Teams Fall Short in Fan Voting

Two Atlanta TV stations will be visiting other schools to capture tonight’s football action, but two local teams could earn a camera crew’s visit next week.

Fans of the football programs of North Paulding and South Paulding high schools nearly nabbed the chance to have an Atlanta TV station highlight their teams tonight.

The station had asked its viewers to help pick the game to be visited by the crew. Hiram High’s away game against Lithia Springs also was in the running.
