Georgia and Georgia Tech will play on Black Friday this fall, which is a day that's typically reserved for high school football in Georgia. The GHSA has made an adjustment.
In a move that makes sense for everyone involved, the Georgia High School Association has decided to move the semifinals of the football playoffs back a week to avoid a conflict with Georgia and Georgia Tech's Friday night game on November 29th,, was announced on Thursday. Georgia and Georgia Tech will join Ole Miss and Mississippi State in primetime matchups on Black Friday. The Egg Bowl will be played at 3:30 Eastern followed by Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate at 7:30.
The news from the GHSA is big for a number of reasons. The most important is it allows high schools the spotlight they deserve. Georgia is one of the biggest high school football states in the nation and making it to the semifinals is a huge accomplishment. This allows fans to watch the Georgia-Georgia Tech game without missing any high school action. It also allows the Georgia and Georgia Tech's staff to attend those games which is massive for recruiting purposes.
The move also pushes the state championship games back a week to December 16th-18th at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. This avoids a conflict with the SEC Championship on December 7th. All-in-all, the new bye week in the GHSA Football Playoffs is a big win for football fans all over Georgia. It's certainly a longer season for those who make the final four, but I doubt any coaches or players will be complaining about a week off.ou can follow us for future coverage by clicking "Follow" on the top right-hand corner of the page.
