Both varsity soccer teams from Lassiter High School are off to fast starts this season, and they've been rewarded with state rankings as a result.

In the first Score Atlanta poll of the season, and published today by the AJC, the Lassiter boys are ranked No. 1 in Class AAAAAA, and the Lassiter girls are ranked No. 8.

No other soccer teams from the Northeast Cobb area are ranked this week.

The Lassiter boys are 8-0-0 on the season and have given up only four goals. They play at Cherokee tonight in a Region 5-AAAAAA game.

The Lassiter girls are 5-2-1 and also play at Cherokee tonight. They played to a scoreless tie against Pope and their losses were to Cobb rivals Hillgrove and Harrison.

The boys and girls junior varsity teams also are playing well at the start of the season. There's plenty more at the Lassiter soccer website.
