R4 1 Lovejoy 52, R1 3 Northside 23

Class 4A

R4 1 Henry County 82, R2 2 Upson-Lee 61

     The upstart Knights gave a good accounting, after trailing 19-6 in the first quarter and 40-28 at halftime. Upson-Lee pulled within a possession in the second half, but the Warhawks regained control and pulled away.

R1 1 Carver-Columbus 84, R3 2 Baldwin 65

Lamar County's Tomiyah Alford went over the 1,000-point mark in the loss to Rabun County.
