Hillgrove a Win Away from State Semis

Here's what's happening in high school athletics in Powder Springs and Lithia Springs on May 17.

 

If you're a fan of high school baseball, then you better make plans to be at Hillgrove High School for today's AAAAA state quarterfinal showdown.

The doubleheader pits Hillgrove against one of the hottest teams in Georgia: Mill Creek (24-6). The state's No. 2 team will be riding an 11-game win streak into Hillgrove. Mill Creek hasn't lost since April 13.

However, don't expect the Hawks to be intimidated. Hillgrove, also 24-6, is currently on the second longest winning streak in AAAAA. The Hawks are on a 10-game run, and they haven't lost since April 16.

The two teams played on March 11, with Mill Creek winning 3-0. 

The state quarterfinal is a best-of-three series. The first game starts at 4:30 p.m., followed by the second at 7.

If the teams split today's doubleheader, they will play a deciding game three on Wednesday at 5:55 p.m.

The series winner will advance to Monday's state semifinals to face the Brookwood-Newnan winner.

The quarterfinals double-header is the only event on the high school sports schedule for Tuesday.
