ATLANTA, Georgia, Dec. 15 — The No. 32/SN No. 23 Creekside [Fairburn, GA] Seminoles and the Benedictine [Savannah, GA] Cadets in Georgia's GHSA Class 4A state championship game.
Creekside, in a word, has been dominant, and they enter the game as heavy favorites to win. The Cadets own a 70-28 win over the No. 31 DeSoto [TX] Eagles, a team that will play for the Texas UIL Class 6A Division II championship next weekend. And their 48-28 win over Rome [GA] was even more one-sided than the No. 3/SN No. 5 Carrollton [GA] Trojans' win over the Wolves that finished 28-21.
Carrollton will play the No. 1/SN No. 1 Buford [GA] Wolves Tuesday night in a game that could decide the national championship, indicating that this Creekside team can probably line up against anybody in Georgia – even the top teams from the Class 5A and 6A ranks.
Game time is set for 7 p.m. EST local

BENEDICTINE 24, CREEKSIDE 21
I won't lie, folks. I watched this Creekside team a couple of times this year, including their 70-28 win over DeSoto early in the season. When they went up 21-3, it felt like it was on its way to being over. Credit this Benedictine program and its championship pedigree for not only stopping Creekside's momentum, but actually stealing it back with three straight touchdowns to take the lead before the half. That didn't seem possible just a half hour ago.

BENEDICTINE 24, CREEKSIDE 21
Benedictine again! After falling into a 21-3 hole early in the second quarter, the Cadets have gone on a tear, and they actually LEAD this game now with 40 seconds until halftime. Creekside isn't used to being challenged like this so it will be interesting to see how they respond.
