For a coach who considers herself to be a bit superstitious, Ginger Jackson could at least agree taking a quick match in three lines is a good way to kickstart a region tournament. Her top-seeded Flowery Branch tennis team did just that Tuesday in a second-round match at Buford City Park, swiftly defeating Loganville 3-0 to clinch a spot in the Region 8-AAAAA finals for the first time under the new classification. Meanwhile, the second-seeded Flowery Branch boys team coasted to its fourth-straight region championship appearance following wins over Cedar Shoals (3-0) and Johnson (4-1).
