Then there were two.
The only given last week was one Northeast Georgia area team would advance as Cherokee Bluff and Jefferson played for a spot in the Class 3A semifinals. Jefferson knocked off the Bears, 42-28.
Meanwhile, the Wolves handled rival North Gwinnett in Buford to set up a showdown against Carrollton on Friday at Tom Riden Stadium.
This week will surely provide plenty of playoff fireworks, and all of us will play out on the Jacobs Media airwaves.
To follow scores and more this week, follow our Friday Game Night X for scores, stories and highlights.
Carrollton at Buford—Buford beat Carrollton in the 2021 semifinals 21-6 at Tom Riden Stadium. The Wolves went on to win the state championship that year. Carrollton five-star quarterback Julian Lewis is questionable for Friday's game against the Wolves, which makes this game all the more interesting. Can the Trojans give the dominating Wolves a game without Lewis? The game can be heard live on WDUN AM 550 (Click to listen live).
LaGrange at Jefferson — The Dragons will have their hands full with LaGrange running back Malachi Fannin-Render. The senior back has rushed for over 700 yards in the playoffs and ran all over North Hall last week. But the Dragons' defense is pretty good. It's the battle between two of the hottest teams in the playoffs right now. This one should provide plenty of fireworks. The game can be heard live on FM 102.9 WDUN (Click to listen live).
