Burke County vs. Carver: Live score updates

On By Littum

Burke County and Carver will meet at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Tuesday to decide who will be crowned the Georgia high school football Class 2A state champion.

Carver (14-1) lost to Harris County by single digits in late August, but the Tigers have been on a tear since. They have now won 12 straight, including back-to-back wins by at least 35 points over Pierce County and Appling County in the quarter and semifinals.

Burke County (13-1) is also on a 12-game winning streak, but the Bears have had two close calls in the playoffs, beating Cook and Thomson both by a single touchdown. They looked strong in their 35-22 win over Rockmart on the road last week.
