The Walton High School football team has reached the semifinals of the Georgia High School Association Class 7A state playoffs.
The Raiders, who are ranked No. 6 this week, will play at No. 3 Milton Friday, and Peachtree TV is showing the game live in the metro Atlanta area.
That means a later start than usual, with kickoff slated for 8 p.m.
Last week, the Raiders defeated Brookwood by a 52-35 score and are 9-3, while Milton is 12-1.
This is the first time in 10 years that Walton has reached at least the semifinals. In 2011, the Raiders went all the way to the state championship game before losing to Grayson.
No. 7 Grayson, the defending state champion this year, is participating in the other semifinal game on Friday, facing Gwinnett rival Collins Hill, which is ranked No. 1.
The winners of Friday’s games will meet for the state Class 7A championship next Saturday at Center Parc Stadium (formerly Turner Field) in downtown Atlanta.
