Coin flip for GHSA quarters
The good news is for Warner Robins, Mary Persons, and Bleckley County.
If they win this week, they’ll be at home next week, thanks to the GHSA coin flip to decide home teams – based on matching seeds – for the quarterfinals.
Jones County and Lamar County are on the bottom half.
Houston County, Perry and Macon County travel no matter what.
Upson-Lee got a break. Should the Knights beat Carver-Columbus, they’ll be at home in the quarterfinals, since third-seed Monroe Area beat No. 2 Sandy Creek and No. 4 Gilmer upset No. 1 Adairsville.
The coin flip doesn’t affect Dublin (facing a 3 or 1).
