In the state’s highest class, two meetings among ranked teams will grab the spotlight when No. 6 South Forsyth travels to No. 5 Harrison and No. 2 South Gwinnett plays at home against No. 4 Forsyth Central Wednesday in the quarterfinal round of the state high school boys soccer tournament.
In Class 6A, an unranked Tucker team will travel to top-ranked Dalton with hopes of upsetting the defending champions. One meeting between ranked programs highlights the 6A quarterfinals -- No. 10 Lakeside-Dekalb travels to No. 3 Central Gwinnett.
Whitewater, the No. 3 seed from Region 2, is the only unranked program left in Class 5A, and it will travel to No. 8 Blessed Trinity for its quarterfinal match. The other three matches involve the best programs 5A has to offer. Top-ranked Starr’s Mill will travel to No. 5 Johnson-Gainesville; No. 10 Cartersville will travel to No. 4 Woodward, and No. 2 McIntosh will play at home against No. 6 Clarke Central.
In Class 4A, top-ranked Southeast Whitfield will face an unranked Benedictine team for a shot at the semis. Two meetings between ranked programs – Region 8 No. 2 Jefferson (ranked eighth) at Region 2 No. 2 Columbus (No. 9) and Region 2 No. 1 LaGrange (ranked seventh) at Region 8 No. 1East Hall (No. 4) – highlight the quarterfinals.
Three matches between ranked programs garner focus in Class 3A, but it’s hard to overlook top-ranked and three-time defending champion Westminster, which will travel to No. 7 Savannah Arts.
In Class 2A, top-ranked Bremen faces an unranked Lamar County team, but the other three matches -- Region 6 No. 2 Lovett (ranked fourth) at Region 2 No. 1 Bacon County (No. 8), Region 1 No. 1 Thomasville (No. 6) at Region 7 No. 1 Gordon Central (No. 5), Region 6 No. 1 Pace Academy (No. 3) at Region 4 No. 1Putnam County (No. 2) – all feature ranked teams facing off.
