The Flowery Branch girls tennis team won’t have much time to celebrate its Class 5A second-round state playoff win against Wayne County. After cruising to a 5-0 sweep Tuesday, the Lady Falcons (18-3) will host Carrollton at 3 p.m. today in the quarterfinals at the Flowery Branch High tennis courts. With rain in the forecast later this week and GHSA rules mandating all quarterfinal matches must be completed by Saturday, the schools prearranged a date and location before completing their second-round matches Tuesday.
