Welcome to the Georgia High School Basketball Project! Now that football is over and I no longer have helmets to do, I decided to add a companion to the helmet site. I wanted to offer something other than football helmets, so I decided to go with basketball. This new site is a simple, but effective way to display the basketballs of every high school in Georgia. And this will include the basketball ONLY schools as well. This process is a little more labor intensive than doing helmets, therefore it's gonna take a little longer to complete.
I've begun with Class A private and will work my way up. I've done others by request in different classifications, but will primarily stick with creating them by class, then by region in ascending order. These balls will be available to use just like the helmets are. I just ask that you give credit to the site. By doing that, it helps get the word out that they're available.
To download a ball for your use, click on an album. Then click on the thumbnail of the ball you would like. When the new window opens, right click and select “Save As” and then put it in a location of your choice. DO NOT select “Copy Image.” If you do that, you'll lose the transparent background. I hope you enjoy the site; and by all means these are free to use on your website, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Again, please credit the site if you do use them. If you have a special request for a ball, I'll be more than happy to create a mockup for you. I can be reached at dahayes52@gmail.com.
Thank you! - David
Welcome to the Georgia High School Helmet Project. As always, I hope you enjoy your visit. There have been MANY changes to the site since it went live back in February of 2002. With the help and partnership of Johnny Walton of the Lincoln Co. Red Devils, this site has been a monumental success. He has been a tremendous partner in making sure the site is maintained and up to date. The site offers several features for the high school football fan. My job is to keep the helmets as up to date as possible.
I’ve completed the task of creating newly designed helmets for each football playing school in the state of Georgia. I’ve created (2) sets of helmets; one facing right and one facing left. When you explore the region pages, you will notice a button labeled, on each region banner. By clicking on this button, ALL the helmets on the page will reverse. This is very handy when setting up schedules and match up graphics. The helmets are free to use and I don’t even ask that you credit me or the site. I would rather be kept abreast of any helmet changes more so than taking credit for it. Just remember, in order to maintain the image’s transparent background, you must select “Save as” rather than “copy image.” Save them to a folder of your choice and you’ll have a graphic you can paste onto ANY background!
I diligently maintain these helmets. I spend hours and even days scouring the internet for helmet images to go by. With 400+ (or 800+ if you count the reverse images) it takes quite a bit of my time. But I love it so much, that doesn’t bother me. But I would desire any help that anyone would be willing to give. I’ve had several people across the state help me through the years, and I’m grateful for it!
As with the custom here, you can submit your stadium photos, school crests, school logos, etc. to be displayed on the site. Email is by far the most effective way to get me the information. I don't get on forums all that much (don't have time), but I check my email EVERY day and I'll make sure they get added to the site. My email is: dahayes52@gmail.com.
Again, thank you for visiting and check back often!!
