The top-ranked Class AA team in the state, the Waccamaw girls have earned the top seed in the Lower State bracket and capped an undefeated season by defeating second-ranked Bishop England 2-1 last week. The win gave the Warriors (14-0) a season sweep over the Bishops this season - Waccamaw won the first game 1-0 on Apr. 12.
The Bishops defeated the Warriors 1-0 in the Lower State championship last season, and the teams appear headed for a rematch this year. This time though, the game would be on Waccamaw's turf.
The Warriors have received a bye in the first round and will start the playoffs on Wednesday against the winner of the Andrews/Andrew Jackson game - a contest slated today at Andrew Jackson.
Waccamaw's boys team finished the regular season 16-4-1 and are ranked No. 2 in the state in Class AA. The Warriors are the second seed in the Lower State and start the playoffs on Tuesday at home against Ridgeland.
Waccamaw and Bishop England are also favored to meet in the Lower State boys finals - BE has defeated the Warriors the last two years.
Andrews' boys team is seeded eighth in the Lower State and starts the playoffs at home on Tuesday against Dillon.
