Colquitt County (11-2) stayed alive by surprising then-nationally ranked Camden County (Kingsland) in last week's
Class 5A quarterfinals. Veteran coach Rush Propst rolled the dice and came up a winner. After the Packers scored a late touchdown, a PAT kick would have tied the score and likely sent the game to overtime. But Propst called for a 2-point conversion attempt, which was successful when
Cole Segraves hit
Ty Smith on a short scoring pass to give Colquitt County the win, 32-31. Colquitt County also played Grayson in last year's semifinals and won, 31-24.
Grayson (13-0) had little trouble advancing past last week's quarterfinal round. The seventh-ranked Rams blew out West Forsyth (Cumming), 33-7. Junior standout
Robert Nkemdiche scored four touchdowns and helped a defensive effort that limited West Forsyth to just 101 yards of total offense,
according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
