The GHSA playoffs begin Tuesday with the first rounds of the newly introduced double-elimination mini-tournaments to decide which eight programs from each classification will advance to the state championships in Columbus.
This season, each classification will play eight four-team mini tournaments to decide which eight programs will advance as opposed to last year when two rounds of best-of-three series determined who advanced.
In Class 7A, Buford leads the way ahead of North Gwinnett, East Coweta, South Forsyth and North Paulding. Pope tops Class 6A ahead of Lassiter, Creekview, Apalachee and South Effingham. Loganville is the team to beat in Class 5A with Harris County, Villa Rica, Cambridge and Winder-Barrow chasing.
In Class 4A, Central-Carroll leads the way with Whitewater Heritage-Catoosa, Wayne County and West Laurens chasing. Wesleyan tops Class 3A ahead of LaFayette, Bremen, Gordon Lee and Harlem. Jeff Davis enters the playoffs atop Class 2A and leads Appling County, ACE Charter, Vidalia and Mount Paran.
Heard County tops Class A Division I and leads Prince Avenue Christian, Social Circle, Bacon County and Pepperell. Emanuel County Institute leads Class A Division II ahead of Wilcox County, Lanier County, Glascock County and Schley County in the top 5.
