25th Corky Kell Classic Silver Anniversary Luncheon
The Corky Kell Luncheon presented by Metro PCS was held in Atlanta this week and provided the opportunity for special guests, media, sponsors, players and coaches to engage with one another before the kick off of high school football in Georgia. Each Corky Kell team’s head coach, along with their star players took the stage one by one during the luncheon.
Each coach and player faced off against their weekend opponent for a fun Q&A session. This was an opportunity where they got to ask their opponent some potentially tough and often entertaining questions. Special guests included members of the Kell family and the coaches of the previous year’s Georgia High School Football State Championship teams, while several individuals were recognized as 25th silver anniversary Corky Kell award winners. Both IJ Rosenberg, President of Score Atlanta, and Dave Hunter, Executive Director of the Corky Kell Classic, shared their vision for the future of this amazing game.
In 2016, the Classic will grow from seven to nine games with 18 teams participating. The Classic will open in Macon at Mercer University for two games, then move to McEachern High School for two more before the five games at the Georgia Dome. The Classic will move to the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium in 2017. 
Launched in 1992, the MetroPCS Corky Kell Classic is a Georgia high school football event and was the first event ever to be held at the Georgia Dome. The Classic kicks off the highly competitive high school football season in Georgia every August with partial proceeds benefiting the Kell Foundation to fund scholarships. Throughout the years the games have included top talent in both Georgia and across the nation. Marketed and operated by Score Atlanta and a group that includes former successful high school coaches Dave Hunter and Jim Dorsey, in the past four years the Classic has reached more than 3.25 million television and internet viewers with a total game attendance of more than 200,000 fans.
