The Corky Kell + Dave Hunter Classic is an opening weekend tradition in Georgia high school football.
And with the Georgia prep season kicking off Thursday night followed by Friday night's full lineup of action across the state, the attention now turns to the big Saturday finale of the classic at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The Dunwoody Wildcats and the St. Pius X Catholic (Atlanta) Golden Lions will kick off the festivities at 10 a.m. today at the home of the NFL's Atlanta Falcons.
Dunwoody rallied from a 1-5 start in 2024 to make the GHSA Class 5A playoffs at 4-6. They fell there to the powerful Langston Hughes (Fairburn) Panthers in the first round after putting up a game effort in a 58-35 loss. St. Pius X also saw their fortunes end in the first round to another group of Panthers from Perry, Georgia. A 38-13 setback there in the GHSA Class 4A bracket ended their season at 7-4.
