Updated area high school playoff schedules
With nearly all of the area’s baseball and softball teams still alive in the state playoffs, the postseason schedule is about to become even more hectic.
This week, three additional sports join the mix. That includes girls and boys soccer – which begin Monday and Tuesday, respectively – and boys tennis, which opens Tuesday in the state’s top two classes.
Class AA boys tennis starts Thursday.
In baseball and softball, four area squads have already secured spots in the district finals, the last step prior to the Lower State brackets. Carolina Forest, Waccamaw and Aynor baseball will all be at home for those on Wednesday; Aynor softball will also have two chances to win one game at home in order to advance that same day.
Below is the updated schedule for all five sports. Baseball and softball teams that win on Monday will then play either Wednesday or Friday in the district finals, depending on class.
