The Darlington Tigers’ Cinderella run will continue for at least one more week, and they'll be at home for the game once again.

Tigers coach Tommy Atha reported this morning that Darlington won the coin toss and will be playing at home for their game against Savannah Christian at 7:30 p.m. Friday.

The home-standing Tigers shut out No. 6 Twiggs County 17-0 on Friday night at Chris Hunter Stadium in the Class A state football playoffs.

The win was spearheaded by a strong defensive effort that included four fourth-down stops and four turnovers forced against a Twiggs County offense that was averaging 39 points per game and had scored 40 or more in its last five contests.

The No. 1 Calhoun Yellow Jackets will also continue their drive toward a state championship after defeating No. 4 Jefferson County 49-35 at Phil Reeve Stadium.

Calhoun's coin toss was also to be held at 11 a.m. today, but coaches have asked for a delay.

Calhoun asked for the delay to seek a Georgia High School Association if Lovett's stadium is eligible to host the semifinal game due to seating capacity.

Both teams will now advance into the semifinals and a coin toss determined which teams would have home field advantage.

Calhoun will tangle with Lovett in their semifinal game Friday.

Also, the Cherokee County (Ala.) Warriors improved to 14-0 on the season with a 37-20 win against Deshler on Friday night. The win sends the Warriors to the Class 4A state title game, to be played next Friday at 11 a.m. at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
