The Elite Eight in the Georgia High School Association (GHSA) playoffs is here and starts today with the girls.
Only three Savannah-area teams remain with a chance to reach the Final Four. The path is simple: now win and move on. Below is the schedule with tipoff times.
GIRLS – Tuesday, March 3
CLASS 5A
River Ridge (22-7) at Bradwell Institute (28-0), 6 p.m.
Bradwell earned the right to host. Now the Lady Tigers must take care of business.
Bradwell is 28-0 and faces the defending Class 5A state champion. River Ridge has experience. Bradwell has not lost all season.
The focus for the Lady Tigers is clear: A win sends them to the Final Four.
CLASS 3A
#6 Pickens (21-9) at #3 Jenkins (25-4), 5:30 p.m.
Jenkins is 25-4 and playing at home with a Final Four spot on the line.
The Warriors host Pickens in what is the seniors' final home game. Jenkins will need to control the pace, defend, and execute.
A win keeps the season going.
BOYS – Wednesday, March 4
