The field is now set and the journey to the Georgia Dome will begin next Friday night for 32 teams in each of the GHSA’s five classifications.

The postseason will begin with six Greater Rome teams putting their name in the hat to fight for a state championship.

The list will include

No. 1 Calhoun, which once again ruled the region and cemented its one-seed for the playoffs by dominating Armuchee in the region championship game on Friday night, 49-10.

The Yellow Jackets will now turn their focus to Avondale who will travel to Phil Reeve Stadium next Friday as the four-seed from Region 6-A.

Armuchee, who was assured of a first-round home game before their defeat on Friday, will head into the playoffs as the two-seed and will host 6-AA three-seed Westminster in the first round.

Pepperell and Chattooga both gained access into the playoffs by winning their play-in games against Adairsville and Rockmart, respectively, and a coin flip on Saturday decided what seed each of the two schools would receive.

The Dragons won the coin flip giving them the three-seed and a ticket to play at defending Class AA state champion and

6-AA two-seed Buford in the first round.

Chattooga is the four-seed and heads to play one-seed Lovett to open the playoffs.

Two Region 6-A teams from the area will head to the postseason, including region champ Darlington and four-seed Trion.

The Tigers, coming off a loss to the Bulldogs on Friday, will be at home for the first round where Region 7-A four-seed Warren County will visit Chris Hunter Stadium.

Trion will be on the road to ta ke on perennial power Lincoln County.
