The Baldwin Braves undefeated season continues after they beat McDonough, 46-42 in the GHSA AAAA semifinals, Saturday.
The Braves (16-0) were down 12 at halftime and faced a 33-30 deficit heading to the fourth quarter before coming from behind and winning 46-42. It will be their first state championship appearance since 1993.
"It means a lot man. These kids have worked hard all season," said Anthony Webb, Baldwin head coach. "Even though the season's been up and down, they worked hard. They didn't give up. I gave them a good halftime speech. Told them to take it one basket at a time. They came out and they executed and hey, we won the game."

Baldwin will face Fayette County in the Macon Centreplex on March 10.
