The regular season got you in. Now it’s about who can handle it.

This week, Savannah-area programs step into the GHSA postseason in baseball and tennis. Baseball is a best-of-three series, with a doubleheader on day one and an if-necessary game the next day. Tennis is one match: win and move on.

The Georgia Independent Athletic Association (GIAA) and South Carolina Independent School Association (SCISA) playoffs begin Monday, April 27. Georgia Private and Parochial Schools (GAPPS) begin this Friday, April 24. Here’s how it lines up this week.
