My money is on splitting Peachtree, as the majority of Georgia Teams are from the Greater Atlanta area. Of course, we're only talking nuts and bolts here, not actual $$
I'm certain that we'll go districts someday; I'm just not sold on us having the density yet to pull it off.

Doing Peachtree East/West would go a long way towards opening spaces in the region, as Peachtree can hold 60 while most versions of Palmetto topped out in the upper 40s.
