The official brackets are almost complete for the GHSA girls soccer playoffs, which begin Tuesday with matches in Classes 7A, 5A, 3A, A Private and A Public.
First-round games for 6A, 4A and 2A will start on Thursday.
All eight champions from 2019 – the last time the state tournament was held, because of the pandemic – made the field again this year, although two (St. Pius and St. Vincent’s) will be playing in different classes after the GHSA’s most recent reclassification.
North Gwinnett of Class 7A, Dacula of 6A, McIntosh of 5A, Westminster of 3A, Wesleyan of A Private and ACE Charter of A Public will be back to try to defend the 2019 titles in their classes. St. Pius, the 2019 champion in 4A, has moved to 5A and could meet McIntosh in the semifinals. St. Vincent’s won the past three titles in 2A but is now in A Private and could meet top-ranked Holy Innocents’ in the quarterfinals.
Westminster, the top-ranked team in 3A, is seeking an unprecedented sixth consecutive championship.
The state finals will be held May 13-15 at McEachern High School, Duluth High School, Mercer University and Savannah Memorial Stadium.
