No. 2 CHRIST SCHOOL (10-1) at No. 1 HIGH POINT CHRISTIAN (9-1), 7 p.m.
How they got here: Christ School beat SouthLake Christian by forfeit and Ravenscroft, 34-16; High Point Christian beat North Raleigh Christian, 49-0 and Cannon School, 25-0.
Notes: Christ School coach Mark Moroz is only mildly joking when he says he’d put his defense up against the Carolina Panthers right now. Junior linebacker Seth Griswold (530 career tackles) is averaging a team-high 10.6 a game this fall. Griswold began his career at Roberson and made 162 tackles for the Rams as a junior, 132 as a sophomore and 130 as a freshman. Griswold reclassified with the transfer to an NCISAA school. Some of his teammates are Carson Jones (85 tackles) and Sage Holley (80). Drew Johnson has thrown for a career-high 2,520 yards and 32 touchdowns and four interceptions with the help of Keyvaun Cobb (58 receptions for 710 yards and 10 touchdowns), Jared Letman-Gash (36 receptions for 505 yards and 13 touchdowns), Gabe Blevins (33 receptions for 488 yards and four touchdowns), Kokayi Cobb (23 receptions for 510 yards and one touchdown), Tyler Redmond (21 receptions for 342 yards and five touchdowns) and Kevin Snyder (17 receptions for 146 yards). Christ School has been playing football for 101 years and is 0-for-5 in all-time state championship appearances. High Point Christian and Copeland Petitfils (15.9 tackles per game) have not allowed any points in the NCISAA playoffs. Senior De’shaun Taylor (1,228 yards and 15 touchdowns with six interceptions) is a 1,000-yard passer.
