Thirty-one of the 56 regions have declared a region champion. Of those, Americus-Sumter represents the only first-time winner. It has been a long time coming for a school that opened in 2004 with the merger of Sumter and Americus high schools. Americus won 20 region titles, including three in its last four years of existence. Those recent titles were under coach Erik Soliday, who returned to Americus-Sumter this season.
