List: Longest active streaks of quarterfinal appearances
Irwin County extended its streak of reaching the quarterfinals to a state-best 11 seasons. The only thing unusual about it is that the Indians started this season 3-5 and entered the playoffs as an unranked team. They defeated No. 5 Bleckley County 31-0 in the second round. The longest ended streaks were those of Metter and Thomasville, who had made it four straight times.
