Shaw players go big game hunting.
After Shaw's strong showing last season, the Raiders are the obvious pick to follow in Kendrick's footsteps. The Cherokees remain the only team in Columbus to have reached the finals of the state football playoffs. By Georgia High School Association rules, no championship football game will go into overtime. In '91, the title game halted with the teams deadlocked at 14-14. The Cherokees ended up sharing their AAA state title with the Vikings that year, but there's one thing they have not accomplished that Shaw already has.
