Classes A-Private, AA, AAAA and AAAAA all saw thrilling three game series to wrap up the high school season. In Class AAAAAA, Walton’s star-studded lineup was powered by Georgia Tech-commit Jason Rooks who smashed two homers and drove in five runs in Game 1. Jason Avers clinched the state title with a dramatic walk-off 2-run single to cap a 5-4 comeback over Pope.
Houston County dominated in Game 3 against Loganville for the AAAAA title, their second in three years. Tanner Hall allowed one hit while the Bears cruised to a five-inning 12-0 shutout. Jake Fromm blasted a controversial homer to make it 4-0 and caused the Loganville coaching staff to lose to coaches to ejection.
Locust Grove brought home the Class AAAA crown, knocking off perennial power Buford 3-1 in Game 3. Including the regular season, the Wildcats took three of four from the Wolves. In a stunning sweep, the Class AAA championship went to Westminster who shocked rival Blessed Trinity. Rankin Woley locked down the save to clinch Game 2, 7-6.
Lovett turned the tables on Wesleyan to score its eighth state title with a 5-4 Game 3 win over the Wolves. Class A-Private belonged to Tattnall Square thanks to a 5-0 shutout in Game 3 that saw the Trojans blast three homers. Treutlen swept Trion for the Class A-Public title.
