It is a story that fables are made of. It’s the bedtime story that you will one day tell your children.

It is Valdosta versus the world to be officially dubbed TitleTown, and it’s a long shot. But as the tortoise vs. the hare, and the little engine that could, and David vs. Goliath have taught us, anything is possible.

Especially when you are the little guy, and Valdosta is definitely that.

By name alone, Valdosta is a long shot, but on paper the small South Georgia city stacks up against the rest. So don’t give up hope just yet.
