Friday's long bus ride from Brooklet to Ringgold just south of the Tennessee border didn't slow Southeast Bulloch down in the first round of the state Class AAA playoffs.
The Yellow Jackets used a dominant second half to defeat Heritage, 35-9, and set a match up with Harlem High School, the overall second seed, according to the GHSA playoff brackets, next Friday night..
Holding a 14-9 lead at halftime, SEB shutout the Generals 21-0 in the second half to secure their second state playoff victory since 1973.
Now 9-2, the Yellow Jackets will play the 10-1 Harlem Bulldogs for a chance to make the Elite 8.
