Tonight's semifinal Georgia AAAAA boys' basketball game will be a different game without the top-ranked Eagles' starting point guard on the floor.

If Alpharetta wins its semifinal earlier in the night, and the Eagles prevail against Harrison, it will be an all "Alpharetta-Milton Patch" final. Milton fans and players will know who would join them in the finals, as the Raiders play at 5:30 p.m.
Milton is playing the rest of the tournament without the services of point guard Charles Mann, who was called for two technical fouls in the quarterfinals. That requires him to sit out two games, and he tells the AJC that he's losing sleep over the call. Fans of the sport are watching an online video of the play, and giving their opinions of if it was the correct call.
