State Football Quarterfinals Tonight

A number of area teams will continue their march towards a possible state football championship tonight.

First, two Region 8-AAAA teams remain alive in the state AAAA bracket.

Region 8-AAAA champion Buford will host Marist in one quarterfinal game, with the winner to play whoever wins between Sandy Creek and Cartersville.

Meanwhile, Region 8-AAAA runner-up North Oconee is on the road tonight at Woodward Academy, with the winner of that game to play the winner of a quarterfinal game between West Laurens and St. Pius.

Looking to other classifications, Hart and Elbert counties are both still alive in the AAA state football playoffs.

Hart County is home in a quarterfinal game against Westminster, while Elbert County will travel to face Calhoun.

If both Hart and Elbert win tonight, they would play each other in the state semi-finals next week.
