BOYS TRACK

When/where: Friday and Saturday, Jefferson

Important to know: Miller Grove’s Kenneth Gilstrap enters with a region time 10.48 in the 100 and is eyeing the 10.33 state record held by Mt. Zion-Jonesboro’s Deangelo Cherry. Look for Perron Jones (10.36) and Johnathan Finch (10.11), both from Evans, to make this one of the fastest AAAA 100s the state has ever seen.

Other storylines: Parkview’s Brian Detweiler and Brookwood’s Tyler Anyan (9:20.91) have battled all season in the 3200 in AAAAA. In the 400-meter relay, Miller Grove’s Kendrick Ings, Jonathan Norris, Gilstrap and Antoine Hightower have run 40.71. They are chasing the AAAA record (40.66) set by the 1996 Southwest DeKalb team led by former Olympians Terrance Trammell and Angelo Taylor.

GIRLS LACROSSE

When/where: 6 p.m. Saturday, Chattahoochee at Milton.

Important to know: Milton is the only team to win the state championship since the sport was sanctioned by the GHSA and will be gunning for its fifth straight title.

Storylines: This finally might be the year that Milton’s streak ends. Chattahoochee has been considered the state’s No. 1 team for most of the year and gained tremendous confidence after tying Milton in the regular season

BOYS LACROSSE

When/where: 6 p.m. Saturday, Harrison at Lovett

Important to know: Lovett goalie Austin Heaton is one of the state’s most inspirational stories, turning in an all-state performance despite his mother’s death from cancer just before the season started.

Important to know: Walton has won six out of the last seven championships in the state’s largest division.

Storylines: Marist had its streak of 12 straight titles snapped last year, but looks in championship form behind youngsters Shannon Murdy and Elizabeth Vermillion.

BOYS TENNIS
