Georgia high school baseball playoffs: These 4 Athens-area teams are still in the hunt
The first round of high school baseball playoffs is in the books.
Only four GHSA Athens-area teams saw their seasons end, including Athens Christian, East Jackson and Oglethorpe County. Apalachee had to go to a third game after splitting the first two with East Paulding but fell just short in game 3 (8-2).
