Stratford (9-3) vs St. Anne-Pacelli (11-1)
Stratford got revenge against rival Tattnall in the semifinals, dominating in a 55-28 win Friday night after losing to the Trojans in the regular season. They now have a game in Mercer’s stadium for the championship against Pacelli, whose only loss this year came against that same Tattnall team.

GIAA Class 3A Championship
John Milledge (12-0) vs Deerfield-Windsor (10-2)
