Gainsville, Ga--Burke County will play for the state title after destroying Gainsville 63-28 Friday night in the Georgia Class 3-A state semifinals.

By the time the half was over, the Bears had amassed over 350 yards rushing and six scores en route to the easy win.

Burke County will play Saturday at 4:30 for the state title in the Georgia Dome.
