Get thee to the Georgia Dome !

The Starr's Mill Panthers (13-0), ranked sixth in the state at the end of the season, have reached the semifinals of the state playoffs. Their opponent tonight will be the Harrison Hoyas (11-2), who have won 11 games in a row and were ranked 10th in the state at the end of the regular season.

The Panthers have had an incredible season and it looks as though their good fortune won't stop until the AAAAA championship is in their clutches. They have an arsenal of offensive weapons, including a ground attack that has confused defenses and cameramen alike.

Their defense is also exceptional, stepping up at the right moments and getting key turnovers all season long. Each member of the team has been a hero at one point or another and that may be the best definition of the word "team" there is.

Tickets for tonight's game are $12 and can be purchased at the Georgia Dome. Kickoff is scheduled for 9 p.m.
