The Wolves held off Carrollton 34-27 in Class AAAAA behind four touchdowns and 273 yards rushing from Christian Turner.
Meanwhile, the Dragons fought another defensive slugfest and got a late touchdown from Colby Wood to overtake Cairo 17-13 in Class AAAA.
And the Hawks one-upped McEachern's air-raid attack in a 31-28 Class AAAAAAA victory in Powder Springs.
Two other northeast Georgia programs saw their seasons come to an end on Friday, however, as Rabun County battled but succumbed to Fitzgerald 35-16. And in Class A Public, Commerce found itself blitzed at Clinch County, 44-0.
Mill Creek will make the short trek to Grayson for its semifinal showdown after losing a coin flip with the Rams. Jefferson, however, claimed a coin flip victory and will get to host Thomson for the second time this season in next week's semifinals. Higher-seeded Buford, meanwhile, will play host to Kell.
