ATLANTA, Georgia, Dec. 15 — The No. 32/SN No. 23 Creekside [Fairburn, GA] Seminoles and the Benedictine [Savannah, GA] Cadets in Georgia’s GHSA Class 4A state championship game.
Creekside, in a word, has been dominant, and they enter the game as heavy favorites to win. The Cadets own a 70-28 win over the No. 31 DeSoto [TX] Eagles, a team that will play for the Texas UIL Class 6A Division II championship next weekend. And their 48-28 win over Rome [GA] was even more one-sided than the No. 3/SN No. 5 Carrollton [GA] Trojans’ win over the Wolves that finished 28-21.
Carrollton will play the No. 1/SN No. 1 Buford [GA] Wolves Tuesday night in a game that could decide the national championship, indicating that this Creekside team can probably line up against anybody in Georgia – even the top teams from the Class 5A and 6A ranks.
Game time is set for 7 p.m. EST local

Benedictine again! After falling into a 21-3 hole early in the second quarter, the Cadets have gone on a tear, and they actually LEAD this game now with 40 seconds until halftime. Creekside isn’t used to being challenged like this so it will be interesting to see how they respond.
