Photos from Thursday's semifinal action from the Georgia High School State Basketball Tournament at the Gwinnett Arena in Duluth.

Milton's Dai-Jon Parker (23) is fired up during Thursday's AAAAA semifinal action at the Gwinnett Arena.

It was this dunk over Newnan's Antwon Johnson (24) that had Parker excited.

Johnson got his revenge with this soaring basket.

The girls took the court earlier in the day, with Maggie Smith (21) and Parkview trying to fend off Alisha Andrews (5, left), MacKenize Dalrymple (10) and Redan.

Parkview's Lauren Coleman (32) attempts a shot as Redan's Quortni Fambro (42, left) and Aneesah Daniels (50, right).

Parkview's Megan Barnidge (40) passes out of the defense of Redan's Delia Brunson (55) and Aneesah Daniels (50, top) in the first half of their Class AAAAA girls semi-final game at the Gwinnett Arena Thursday.

Parkview's Lauren Coleman (32) gets consoled by her father and assistant coach Michael Coleman after Parkview's narrow loss to Redan 63-62.

The second girls semifinal tipped off with Marietta's Telia McCall (30, facing) and Beach's Monique Willis (23) leaping high for the opening jump ball.

Marietta's Telia McCall (30, center) gets defended by Beach's Indigo Curtis (5, left) and Khalilah Watson (10).

In the other AAAAA girls semifinal, Beach's Indigo Curtis (5) has the ball knocked out of her hands by Marietta's Brittany White (20, left) as teammate Brittney Echols (10, right) defends.

Beach coach Ronald Booker makes his point.

Beach's Paige Johnson (20, left) and Marietta's Brittney Echols (10, right) dive for a loose ball.

Marietta's Courtney Sprague (35, left) Telia McCall (30, center) and Sabrina McCants (right) are all smiles after their 58-40 win over Beach.

Richard Howell (left), Phil Taylor (right) and Wheeler put the clamps on Chad Johnson (1) and Westlake early in the second AAAAA boys semifinal.

Wheeler's Karl Cochran (10) claims a rebound.

Charge! Howell is called for an offensive foul, after colliding with Thornton.

Wheeler's Taylor (11, with ball) falls the pressure from Westlake's Marcus Thornton (21, left).

Taylor (right) gets a shot up over Thornton.

Westlake's Jordan Brown (13) puts up a shot as he collides with Wheeler's Karl Cochran (10).

Westlake's Jordan Brown (13) takes his frustration out on his jersey as he walks off of the court after a 71-54 loss to Wheeler.

Ari Stewart and Wheeler would prove to be too much for Westake,
