PORTAL
he Panthers are peaking at the right time and trying for the program’s firstever state title while enjoying the team’s second championship berth after beating St. Anne Pacelli 12-6 in the semifinals. Portal’s path to the title game went through Beach (13-6), Harris County (19-0) and St. Vincent’s (14-13) in the quarterfinals. Portal favors the pass which it adjusted in its semifinal victory over St. Anne Pacelli in a rain-delayed contest. “What a crazy day with the weather and venue change, the wet field and the wet ball,” Portal head coach Jay Reddick told WSAV in Savannah. “We are a passing team, so we though that wet ball was going to hurt us. We made a change and we got it done.”

SOUTHEAST BULLOCH
he Yellow Jackets are undefeated at 18-0 and its defense has not allowed a point scored since Nov. 16 in a 13-12 victory over New Hampstead to close its regular season. In the playoffs, the Yellow Jackets have beaten Jenkins 44-0, Northside-Columbus 20-0, Columbus 13-0 and Calvary Day 13-0. "Their offense is explosive; I wish we could run the option like they do," SEB coach Marci Cochran told the Savannah Morning News. "But our defense hung in there, pulled flags, and did what we told them to do, and it paid off today." Southeast Bulloch has had 10 shutout victories this season.
