The Cartersville boys soccer team won the Region 5-AAAA championship Thursday evening with a 5-1 victory over visiting LaGrange at Weinman Stadium. LaGrange scored first, but failed to get anything else past Canes keeper Ethan Eckert as Cartersville scored five unanswered goals. The Canes went unbeaten in region play and will enter the Class AAAA state tournament next week as a No. 1 seed. Jair Ramos, Pedro Ghanem (two goals, two assists), and Leo Sanchez scored for Cartersville Grant Farmer added a pair of assists. LAGRANGE GIRLS 1, CARTERSVILLE 0 The Lady Canes dropped a 1-0 decision to LaGrange Thursday night at Weinman Stadium and due to region tie-breakers will fall to a 3-seed in next week’s state playoffs. A win Thursday would have given Cartersville the region title. Cartersville will play at Heritage-Catoosa next Thursday to open the Class 4A state tournament. ADAIRSVILLE GIRLS 2, CALHOUN 1 The Lady Tigers clinched the No. 3 seed from Region 6-AAA for next week’s state playoffs with a 2-1 victory over Calhoun at Adairsville. Adairsville will open the state tournament against one of the top two teams in Class AAA. They will play a road match at either Westminster or Lovett out of Region 5-AAA. Those two teams are ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the classification. Chloe Cochran and Emily Collum scored the Adairsville goals — one in each half. Lauren Stephenson and Gillian Johnson had the assists while keeper Havyn Isaac recorded 13 saves in the win. Adairsville (11-2 overall and 7-2 in region action) host Trion Friday to wrap up the regular season. CALHOUN BOYS 8, ADAIRSVILLE 2 Dani Carillo scored both goals for the Tigers. Tyrek Bryant and Nic Jackson combined for 23 saves. Adairsville concludes the season Friday against Trion at home. CASS GIRLS 2, HERITAGE-CATOOSA 0 The Cass girls got second half goals from Leidi Toribio and Briana Ochoa — both off feeds from Region 7-AAAAA player of the year Logan Vermaas — as the Lady Colonels won a non-region game over Heritage-Catoosa. Emily Tracy and Macy Wright were credited for outstanding defense in front of senior keeper Brianna Bullock who earned her seventh shutout of the season. Cass will open the state playoffs on the road next week. WOODLAND GIRLS 7, HARALSON COUNTY 0 Woodland finished the year 7-8-1 with a win in their season finale Thursday. Kaitlin Winnenberg and Jordan Evans each scored three goals and Grace Webb added a goal for the Lady Cats.

The Adairsville Tigers took matters into their own hands Thursday night at Calhoun and clinched a home state playoff series next week and the No. 2 seed from Region 6-AAA with a 6-0 shutout of the Yellow Jackets. Kyler Pelfrey was brilliant again on the mound for the Tigers. The senior tossed a complete game, scattering three hits with no walks and seven strikeouts. The Georgia College and State University signee has four wins and a save over Adairsville’s last 14 games with 33 strikeouts and a 1.05 ERA over 25.2 innings in that stretch. The Tigers scored single runs in the third inning and fifth inning for a 2-0 lead. Hunter Hice reached on an error and later scored on a wild pitch in the third inning. Garrett Mishoe doubled home Pelfrey in the fifth. Adairsville then put the game out of reach with four runs in the sixth inning. After two walks and two outs in the sixth, two runs scored on a single by Hice. Mishoe doubled again for the Tigers’ fifth run and eventually scored on another Calhoun wild pitch. Hice and Mishoe paced Adairsville with two hits and two RBI each. Pelfrey and Landon Ayers had the other Tigers’ hits. Calhoun (20-9, 11-6) will need a win at Haralson County Friday to clinch a state playoff berth. Adairsville (19-8, 12-5) will host Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe Friday in their regular season finale’. The Tigers will then prepare for a home Class AAA state playoff series against the No. 3-seed from Region 5-AAA. With all of that region's leaders playing league games Friday except Redan, the seeding race will come down to the final day of the regular season. Westminster and Lovett (both 11-2 in region games) lead Pace Academy (10-3) by one game in the 5-AAA standings. Redan (10-4) is currently fourth. Lovett and Pace Academy go head-to-head Friday. Westminster is playing Cedar Grove who is out of playoff contention. Pace Academy, Lovett, and Redan are all ranked in the Top Ten of the latest Georgia Dugout Club Class AAA poll. Westminster, like Adairsville, was one of the teams also considered.

The Cartersville baseball team closed out the 2018 regular season Thursday night at Central-Carroll with a 13-2, five-inning victory that clinched the Region 5-AAAA championship and a No. 1-seed in next week’s Class AAAA state playoffs. Cartersville captured their 25th region baseball championship will host a best-of-three opening round series with Pickens — the No. 4 seed from Region 6-AAAA. The Dragons (13-14, 8-9) are led by former Cass head coach Adam Williams. Pickens concludes the regular season Friday at home against Southeast Whitfield. The Canes bats went to work early Thursday and took a 2-0 lead in the first inning. Cartersville extended that lead to 7-2 through three innings and scored six more times over the next two frames to close out the game. Canes pitchers Kolby Adams (3 IP, 2ER, 4H, 0BB, 2K) and Gage Morris (2 IP, 0R, 1H, 1BB, 1K) limited the Lions to only five hits. Jake Gooch doubled home two runs in the first inning for the Hurricanes and later hit a home run in the fifth. His 3-for-3 night that included a walk and three RBI. Anthony Seigler and Preston Welchel also had home runs for Cartersville and both added doubles. Seigler was 3-for-3. Welchel accounted for three RBI. Mason Barnett doubled twice with one RBI and Devin Warner also doubled. The 2nd-ranked Canes move into the state playoffs with a 23-7 record and would also host a second round series if they can advance. Although occasional adjustments occur in the playoff schedule, the GHSA website calls for the first round series to begin with a doubleheader next Thursday, April 26 at Richard Bell Field (time TBA). If a third game is needed, it would be on Friday, April 27.

The Hiram Hornets pounded out 18 hits and scored runs in every inning Wednesday to take a 12-2 five-inning win at Woodland and dampen the Wildcats' playoff hopes in the process. Trenton Parker, Dalton Skinner, and Kyle Foley — batting at the top of the Hornets’ order — combined for 11 hits and seven RBI to lead Hiram’s offense. Skinner homered, Ryan Nolan added three hits including a pair of doubles, and Josh Franklin finished with a pair of hits and two RBI for Hiram. Skinner (5 IP, 2ER, 5H, 3BB, 6K) also tossed a five-inning complete game for the Hornets’ pitching victory. Toby Queen led Woodland with two hits. Koby Stansel (3.1 IP, 7R, 5ER, 11H, 0BB, 4K), who started on the mound and took the pitching loss, had one hit and one RBI. Dylan Webb and Garrett Cornett had the other Wildcats’ hits. Woodland (15-14, 8-7), currently tied for fifth in Region 7-AAAAA, will close out the regular season Friday at Hiram (6-19, 3-12) at 5:55 p.m. The Wildcats now need a win Friday and some help from other region games Friday to secure a state playoff berth. "The playoff scenario is a mess right now," said Woodland coach Colby Coursey Wednesday night. "We hold some of the head-to-head tiebreakers but it gets even more complicated in a three-way or four-way tie. None of it matters, however, if we don't win Friday." Carrollton (24-5, 13-2) has clinched the region's top spot and will be a 1-seed in the state playoffs. Villa Rica (10-5 in region), Rome (9-6) and Kell (9-6) are currently in the next three spots heading into Friday’s final regular season games. Woodland and East Paulding (both 8-7 in the region) are tied for fifth and currently "on the outside of the playoffs looking in." In addition to Woodland's game at Hiram, the other region games Friday involving playoff implications and seeding include Rome at Carrollton, Paulding County at Villa Rica, and East Paulding at Kell.

The Georgia Highlands baseball team lost its fifth straight conference game Tuesday to visiting Andrew College 9-7 at LakePoint in Emerson. The Chargers have now dropped six of their last seven Georgia Collegiate Athletic Association games and have slipped to fourth in the conference standings and one game under .500 in the league. GHC won three games last week, but all were out of conference. Tuesday, Andrew used a trio of three-run innings to outlast Georgia Highlands as the two teams combined for 25 hits. The visiting Tigers led 3-1 through three innings, 6-2 through five innings, and took a 9-2 advantage in the top of the sixth. The Chargers scored five runs over the final four innings, but could not quite make up the margin. All nine position starters had at least one hit for Andrew, led by a two-hit, three RBI day by Brent Todys. Jordan Holt (RBI), Will Barry, and Matthew Holloway (RBI) also had two hits each for the Tigers. Parker Orr homered, doubled, and finished with three hits and two RBI to pace the Chargers offense. Skylar McPhee (RBI), Jaree Pledger (RBI), and NIck Piccapietra added two hits each. Austin Foster (2 RBI), Bryson Horne (RBI), and Willis Kemp had the other GHC hits. Hunter Norman (4 IP, 2ER, 6H, 1BB, 3K) started for Andrew and picked up the pitching victory. The Tigers used three other pitchers in relief with Brady Jones closing out the ninth behind middle innings relief from Omari Hunter and Daniel Lee. Alex Holdbrooks (4 IP, 6R, 5ER, 9H, 3BB, 2K) started for the Chargers and suffered the loss. Travis Kuebler (5 IP, 3R, 0ER, 4H, 0BB, 4K) worked the final five frames. Andrew improved to 17-28 overall and 4-16 with their win Tuesday. Georgia Highlands (27-16, 10-11) will travel to Cuthbert to conclude the four-game conference series with the Tigers with a single game Friday night and a doubleheader Saturday.

The Cartersville girls and boys tennis teams advanced to the Class AAAA Sweet Sixteen Tuesday with home wins in the state playoffs’ opening round. Both Canes’ teams swept singles matches and the doubles matches were pulled prior to completion as the Lady Canes defeated Pickens and the Hurricanes blanked Northwest Whitfield 3-0 at Dellinger Park. Ashley Popham, Emma McCary, and Ansley Thompson were the singles winners for the Lady Canes. Will Allen, Matthew Slocum, and Davis Edwards won singles matches for the Cartersville boys. Both doubles teams for the Lady Canes and Canes had won their opening sets when their matches were halted. The Cartersville girls advance to host the winner of a first round match between Oconee County and Blessed Trinity. The Cartersville boys will host the survivor of the opening round match between St. Pius and Blessed Trinity. Second round matches are scheduled to be completed by April 25.

The Adairsville baseball team took a huge step toward possibly hosting an opening round state playoff series Tuesday night with a 12-2 five-inning, mercy-rule win at Bremen. The win by the Tigers has them tied with Calhoun for second place in the region standings, but still only one game ahead of both Bremen and Haralson County with two region games remaining. Adairsville (18-8, 11-5) travels to Calhoun Thursday and will wrap up the regular season Friday at home against Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe. Garrett Mishoe came up big on the mound in the Tigers’ win. Adairsville’s offense scored seven runs in the top of the first inning and Mishoe responded with a five-inning complete game and allowed only three hits and four walks. He also struck out ten. Bremen’s only runs came on a first inning two-run homer by Sam Thompson that made the score 7-2. Adairsville added single runs in the second inning and the third inning. The Tigers also posted three runs in the fourth inning. Adairsville out hit the Blue Devils eight to three. Caden Gibbs was the only Tiger with two hits. He also drove in two runs. Mishoe and Halen Huskins both homered. Corey Nation, Noah Dutton (double), Trace Still, and BJ Roper each added one hit. With Tuesday’s loss, Bremen slips to 17-9 overall and 10-6 in Region 6-AAA games. Ringgold has locked up the region title and No. 1 seed with a 16-0 mark in Region 6-AAA. Adairsville and Calhoun are both 11-5 in region action. Bremen and Haralson County are next at 10-6 and Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe is currently sixth at 9-7 with two region games remaining.

The Cartersville baseball team dropped a 5-1 decision to visiting Troup County Tuesday night at Richard Bell Field for their first loss of the year in Region 5-AAAA. Troup County pitcher Colby Williams sparkled on the mound tossing a complete-game while scattering three hits and three walks. He struck out ten and allowed only one unearned run in the fourth inning. The loss drops the Hurricanes into a tie with Troup for the top spot in the region standings, but 2nd-ranked Cartersville holds the tie-breaker over the Tigers if both teams win (or both lose) in their final region games on Thursday. Cartersville defeated the Tigers 5-0 in LaGrange on March 23, meaning the Canes’ one run Tuesday night gives them the tie-breaker advantage. Troup County hosts last place Sandy Creek Thursday while Cartersville closes out the region slate at Central-Carroll. Both Cartersville and Troup are 10-1 in region play. Troup senior shortstop Ryan Bliss hit the first pitch of the game over the left field wall to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead off Cartersville starting pitcher Levi Ayers. The visitors added another run in the top of the fourth for a 2-0 lead on an RBI single by Ethan Morton. The Canes’ Ian Inaba singled home a run in the bottom of the fourth to cut Troup’s lead in half and the score remained 2-1 until a three-run seventh by the Tigers. In the final inning, Morton singled off reliever Anthony Seigler and Brantly Robinson put down a sacrifice bunt. Seigler’s throw to first on the play got away and enabled Troup runners to reach second and third. Seigler walked Bliss to load the bases and after one run scored on a passed ball, Caleb McCurry delivered an RBI chopper that bounced over third base to give Troup a 4-1 lead. Following another Cartersville pitching change, Colby Williams drove in the Tigers’ final run with a sacrifice fly to center field that scored Bliss. Morton (two singles) and Bliss (single, homer) led Troup with two hits and one RBI each. The Canes were limited to only three hits — a double by Josh Davis and singles by Ian Inaba and Preston Welchel. Ayers (4 IP, 2ER, 5H, 1BB, 4K) suffered the pitching loss. Jake Gooch (2 IP, 0R, 1H, 2K), Seigler (0.0 IP, 3R, 1ER, 2H, 1BB), and Cohen Wilbanks (1 IP) all pitched for the Hurricanes. Troup County, ranked fifth in Class 4A, improved to 20-7 overall and 10-1 in region action. Cartersville (22-7, 10-1) closes out the regular season Thursday at 5:55 p.m. at Central-Carroll.

For the first time in the history of Woodland High School’s boys tennis program, the Wildcats won a state playoff match. Woodland blanked visiting Clarke Central Tuesday evening “on the banks of the Etowah” for an opening round win in the Class AAAAA state tournament. Woodland clinched the match by winning all three singles matches. Bryce VanOrder, Blake Bottegal, and Connor Gunnell all had straight set victories. The Wildcats’ doubles teams also won for a clean 5-0 sweep. Alex Banta and Hayden Lusk narrowly escaped 7-5, 7-6 [7-5] at Line 1 doubles, while Max Costlow and Noah Pirkle pulled out a 6-3, 4-6, 6-1 win at Line 2 doubles. The Wildcats, a 2-seed, will play the winner of the first round match between Chamblee and North Springs. Woodland will travel if Chamblee wins and will host the second round if North Springs wins. Sweet Sixteen round matches are scheduled to be completed by April 26. BUFORD GIRLS 3, WOODLAND 0 The Woodland girls tennis team had their season end Tuesday in the first round of the Class AAAAA state tournament with a 3-0 loss at Buford. The host Wolves won at Line 1 and Line 2 singles and picked up their third point to end the match at Line 2 doubles.
