Twenty-seven region championships will be settled this weekend, including four in the highest classification. Look for McEachern to outlast Hillgrove in what likely will be a high-scoring game for the 4-AAAAAA title. Go with Milton to beat Wheeler and wrap up 5-AAAAAA. North Gwinnett will win the 7-AAAAAA championship by beating Mountain View. And expect Dacula (over Parkview) and Archer (over Brookwood) to win, creating a three-way tie with Grayson for first place in 8-AAAAAA that will go to tiebreakers.
