HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL: The local field of playoff participants is down to one with only Buford still standing in Class AA. The Wolves (25-3) will host Pierce County (17-2) in a best-of-three state quarterfinal series beginning 4 p.m. Tuesday at Gerald McQuaig Field in Buford.

The Wolves are in the state quarterfinals for the first time since defeating Pike County in 2006. Meanwhile, Pierce County is no stranger to a deep playoff run. The Bears have advanced to the third round in four of the last five seasons, and lost to a school from Buford’s Region 6-AA is three of those trips.

So far in the playoffs, Buford has made things look easy with two-game home sweeps of series against Fannin County and Calhoun. The Wolves set up home-field advantage in the third round with a win against Blessed Trinity in the regular season finale, making the Titans a No. 2 seed to the postseason.

Meanwhile, Pierce County has also had a clean sweep of games in the playoffs so far. In round 1, the Bears traveled to Madison and defeated Morgan County in two games. Then in the second round, Pierce County defeated Berrien in two games.
