ATHENS - The boys basketball team stand on the brink of something special.
No team in program history has gone an entire season undefeated, let alone win a boys state championship.
They have a chance to do both, after a stunning 4-game run through the GHSA Playoffs, which sees the top-ranked Golden Lions (32-0) reach the title decider for the fourth time in program history.
After beating Jonesboro Saturday night in Athens, the squad face Pace Academy Thursday, March 12 at 7:30pm in Macon Coliseum. Tickets are available here.
Senior standout Harris Reynolds scored 33 points and blocked multiple shots into the stands at Akins Ford Arena in front of a mostly PiHi crowd to lead the team to a 79-63 win over the Cardinals. Junior guard Max "The Magician" Etienne added 14 points.
