As usual, the state championship game in the highest classification comes down to Gwinnett County and south Georgia. Teams from those two areas have won at least a share of the championship every year since 1995. Gwinnett County teams won the past four championships, and Archer is red hot coming into the game, outscoring its opponents 51-14 in the playoffs. But top-ranked Colquitt County has taken everybody’s best shot in the playoffs and survived with an offense that is averaging 52 points in the postseason. Look for Colquitt to survive one more time and give south Georgia its first title in the highest class since Camden County in 2009.
