To cap off the week at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, high school football fans will be treated to a top-20 national matchup.
The No. 17 Milton Eagles (12-2) take on the No. 8 Walton Raiders (14-0) in one of the biggest high school football matchups in the country this year.

Analysis and Pick
I'm going to keep this part short because, unlike last night's finale, I know exactly where I'm going with this pick.
While it is still strictly based off vibes, give me the team that's undefeated and a top-10 team nationally to win cap off a perfect season with a trophy. With that being said, give me Walton.
