The Graham G-Men and Honaker Tigers will play state semifinal football games on Saturday, something most folks in the area saw coming back in August.
The two programs have indeed lived up to heady preseason expectations and are now two wins away from closing the deal with VHSL state titles.

Galax (9-4) at Honaker (13-0), Saturday, 2 p.m.: Galax is the lowest seeded squad still remaining in the playoffs. The fifth-seeded Maroon Tide beat No. 4 Bath County, No. 1 Grayson County and No. 3 George Wythe on the road to take Region 1C gold.
