Results (as told to me):
1) Centennial
2) Brookwood
3) Walton
4) Alpharetta (Actually Chattahoochee)
EDIT: I was misinformed. Seems like Chattahoochee and Alpharetta had the same record, but that Chattahoochee won head-to-head, so winning the fourth place berth.

After seeing Centennial play all four rounds of the playoffs, I think I can conclude with some certainty that they, or ...
