Half of our coverage area teams took a hit last week, as #2-seeds Union fell to Bremen and Jefferson to Westminster, while #4s White County and Stephens County were defeated by Pickens and Cartersville, respectively.

Meanwhile, Habersham Central pulled off a road playoff win at Douglas County, while Rabun County set school records in a 65-0 win over Spencer. Commerce cruised past Seminole County, and Dawson County won at home in a track meet against Haralson County. Those four teams advance to round two!
