Here are the high school football pairings for next week's semifinals of the state playoffs to be played at Georgia Dome in Atlanta.

High school basketball scores from Friday night.

Jonas Hayes's shooting touch was better than his memory Friday night. Hayes hit eight of eight from the field and two of two from the line for 18 points to lead Georgia to a 77-59 victory over winless Florida A&M.

Several interesting matchups highlight Friday night's prep basketball action. Every Region 7-AAA team is in action against each other except Pickens County. All the games count for region purposes but not subregion standings.
