Home-field advantage paid off for Northeast Cobb high school soccer teams in the first round of the Georgia High School Association playoffs Wednesday. Lassiter's girls, Pope's girls, and Kell's boys and girls all won to extend their seasons. Those home wins came a day after Lassiter's boys won and Pope's boys lost on the road in the GHSA playoffs. Region 5-AAAAA champ Lassiter scored only one goal at home against Alpharetta in the AAAAA tournament, but that's all the Lady Trojans need in a shutout 1-0 win. They'll be home again next Wednesday against Kennesaw Mountain, which beat Camden County, 5-2, on the road.

Lassiter opened the soccer season ranked No. 1 in the nation but will start the Georgia High School Association playoffs on the road tonight after finishing third in Region 5-AAAAA. The Trojans play at Milton at 7:30 p.m. in what could be the first of five road games if they want to win the AAAAA boys title a year after losing in the semifinals.
