| Sign to Georgiana High School |
Georgiana High School was a school I barely happened to stop by. I was on my way to Mobile, and told my buddy that I was finally finished looking at schools. However, to get back to the interstate I had to take this shortcut road that led me right past the stadium. I couldn't pass up the opportunity.
Georgiana is a Single-A school in the Alabama High School Athletic Association w/ a daily average enrollment of 110. I've seen where Georgiana is a 7th-12th grade school with an enrollment of around 250 but there is not much information out there about this high school. However, Georgiana, AL is the home of Hank Williams.

| Home stands |
This is one of the neater set of home stands that I've seen on my trips. I love the layout, that they stretch the whole length of the field. It's a very old field and its evident by the buildings and press box in the background. But to me that's what gives it character and one of the reasons I enjoy traveling around finding jewels like this.

| Visitors stands |
These are the visitor stands and again a very old structure, complete with the rickety press box which gives it even more character. There's a huge grass lot right behind these bleachers, I'm sure this is one of the easiest drive in, watch the game and drive out times that visiting fans ever have. (I know that sentence doesn't make much sense grammatically, but you get the point). It's obvious from the pictures that the team was practicing. In the photo of the home stands you can see two ladies sitting up on the bleachers. I had a conversation with them about the team, and they were happy to have someone come out and take pictures of their boys. I'm not sure If they quite understood what I was doing there, but I enjoy talking to people I meet along my journey.

I was thrilled when I passed by the sign to Georgiana High School, and it was even neater when I found out Hank Williams Sr. had lived there. I couldn't find out if he went to high school here, but I did read that he got into a fight with his physical education coach, and after the board did not suspend the coach he and his family moved to Montgomery, AL. The football team may not be that great, but they do play in one sweet, old school stadium.
