Northside Warner Robins Back at Home in the Georgia Dome

For the third straight year, nationally-ranked Northside Warner Robins (#7 USA Today) will play a high school football game in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.

The Dome is the reward to Georgia high school football teams that advance to the state semifinals. On Friday, the Eagles will play undefeated Tucker in one of the Class 4A semis.

In the past three seasons, Northside has amassed a 42-1 record with two state championship berths and one title (2006).

Georgia High School Football Rankings

The Atlanta Journal Constitution has released its final regular season high school football poll, and after a topsy turvy year in Class AAAAA, North Cobb ends the regular season as the #1 team.

North Cobb will have a tough road to a state title since it will play defending 2006 co-champ Peachtree Ridge in the first round. If North Cobb, which finished the regular season undefeated for the first time since 1979, wins the opening game, it's second round opponent could be the other defending co-champ Roswell.

Nationally-ranked Northside-Warner Robins finishes the regular season as the top team in AAAA, Carver-Columbus is #1 in AAA, Buford finishes on top in AA and ECI is #1 in A.
