CARROLLTON, Georgia, Dec. 5 — The No. 5/SN No. 5 Carrollton [GA] Trojans will play host to the SN NEXT No. 21 North Gwinnett [Suwanee, GA] Bulldogs Friday night in Georgia’s GHSA Class 6A semifinals.
The Trojans inserted themselves into the national title conversation over the past couple of weeks, and they added a major bullet point to their resume last week in a dominating 34-14 win over the previous No. 2/SN No. 2 Grayson [Loganville, GA] Rams. Grayson was a win away from taking over the No. 1 spot currently held by the IMG Academy [Bradenton, FL] Ascenders in The Sporting News High School Football Top 25.
Instead, Grayson was unceremoniously booted from Georgia’s postseason party while Carrollton soldiers on. The Trojans are one win away from playing for Georgia’s Class 6A state championship against either the new No. 2/SN No. Buford [GA] Wolves or the Valdosta [GA] Wildcats.
Those two squads are facing off Friday night in Georgia’s other Class 6A state semifinal at Buford.

Carrollton with a huge play on offense to get to North Gwinnett’s 22-yard line. The next play was a pass inside the 10, and from there, freshman QB CJ Cypher carries it in. North Gwinnett is in deep trouble before we even get to halftime.
