Last weekend, inclement winter weather in the Atlanta-metro area and North Georgia resulted in the GHSA having to cancel and postpone six of the eight State Football Championship games. Those six games have been rescheduled to be played this Friday evening on December 15th.
Only the Class A Private and Class 3A state football championships were played last weekend on Friday. Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy defeated Athens Academy 41-3 to win it’s third consecutive state title in single A-private. Calhoun defeated Peach County 10-6 in triple-A to win their third state title since 2011.
Instead of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, the remaining games will be played at various high school sites around the Peach State, and the kickoff time for each title game is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Not all games will be televised. Georgia Public Broadcasting will televise the Class 7A final between Colquitt County and North Gwinnett. The other five games will be carried via live video stream online at NFHSNetwork.com. Here is a schedule of this Friday’s GHSA State Football Championship games:
