It's Round 2 of the Georgia High School Association playoffs...
And there were some upsets- one of the largest was the North Gwinnett 28-10 win over season-starting-US-number one Grayson (GA)...
Grayson lost to Parkview at the mid-point of the season and just seemed to get mad...but it took the Bulldogs to stifle them and keep them from a title in 6A...
Another one was the 61-yard field goal from Miles Hemphill that people say would have been good from 65 or so (for the record, the Georgia record belongs to Dax Langley)...
Here's the busy day for Hemphill's right leg...
Unfortunately, East Paulding lost at home to Stephenson 35-6, but Miles Hemphill and his highlight will be around for a while...
I work in the NFL and was at the East Paulding game. I can confirm Hemphill's field goal would have made it from 70 yards. What is also impressive is he probably should have been kicking from 62 yards in order to get a little more room to clear the line of scrimmage and lessen the risk of being blocked but it was not needed. I have seen a lot of great kicks but that was the most impressive I have ever seen in person.
