There are only two matches on the schedule for Thursday, but one could have early playoff consequences.
On the boys' side, Class 5A fifth-ranked and beaten Gainesville will travel to Chattahoochee in both teams' region openers.
The Red Elephants (5-0, 0-0 Region 7-5A)have outscored their opposition 20-7 in the early going. Chattahoochee (2-2, 0-0 Region 7-5A) has allowed just 6 goals in its first four matches despite the .500 record.
On the girls' side, Class 3A eighth-ranked Lumpkin County (2-0) plays host to Banks County (0-1) at The Burial Grounds in a non-region battle.
