Banks County’s netters are advancing into the first round of the state playoffs.

The teams took on Westminster Christian Academy, Wednesday. See next week's Banks' County news for results.

While the trip to the playoffs was secured as the boys and girls won the sub-region championships, the region tournament decided the seeding for Banks County at the playoffs. The Lady Leopards earned the third seed in Region 8-AA, defeating Jefferson in the consolation round final.

Banks County’s girls fell to Hart County in the semi finals last week. Hart County went on to take the second seed, behind North Oconee the region champions.


Ahead, the girls face the second seeded, Region 6 Westminster team. If the Lady Leopards advance, the second round will be against the winner of Calhoun (7-AA #1) and Temple (6-AA #2).

The Leopards also enter the playoffs to face Westminster. Banks County’s boys took the fourth seed and face the Region 6 champs on Wednesday.

The boys were defeated in the semifinals by Jefferson, then lost a close match to Hart County. North Oconee won the region championship on the boys’ side after defeating Jefferson. Hart took the third seed.

If the Leopards advance over Westminster, the boys would take on Model (7-AA #2) in the second round of the playoffs.
