The 2024 high school football season officially kicked of Friday, and Bibb County saw plenty of action during the first-ever Gridiron Classic at Fort Valley State University. Teams played all day with games beginning at 2 p.m. GIAA teams in Macon also began their seasons today, with Mount de Sales and Tattnall both opening their seasons at home.

With games still to come for Rutland, Howard and Westside Saturday afternoon, here’s a look at all the scores from across Bibb County.
