BACK to BACK – 319Q Takes the Grand Championship with a Triple Final Showing!
The GBA headed north to one of favorite contests of the year – the Red, White, and Blue BBQ at the American Legion Post 45 in Canton, GA. 20 GBA teams battled it out with some amazing BBQ and there was plenty of shakeups in the making for the 2024 GBA Team of the Year Points Race with this “Double Points” Contest. Hats off to the great group at the American Legion for making this a very special event, and for taking such good care of the GBA. We had an amazing group of GBA Reps and GBA Judges on scene to judge some amazing Q. 319Q showed out with Triple Finals & Winning Back to Back Grand Championships over the last two contests!!!! Pig-eee-licious held off (Posse BBQ with their 3- 4th Place Finishes) to take the Reserve Grand Championship. Huge Congrats to the Apalachee HS Bar-B-Cats on a GREAT showing at the Red, White, & Blue BBQ, please know that all of us here in the GBA continue to keep you and your community in our prayers!
