Bishops, Raptors Face Off for Lower State in Soccer

The Lowcountry remains well represented in the spring sports playoffs as the school year winds down.

On the soccer field both the boys and girls squads from AA powerhouses Bishop England and Academic Magnet are facing off this Monday and Tuesday for Lower State titles and the chance to play in the State Championship games.

Both of Academic Magnet's teams entered the playoffs as a 1 seed this year, and Bishop England two squads each came in as 2 seeds, so the Raptors will have home field advantage in both contests. The girls teams play Monday, and the boys take the field on Tuesday.

The winner of the girls game will play the winner of the Upper State game, Indian Land or Christ Church. The winner of the boys game will take on either Indian Land or Ninety-Six.

Bishops Seeking Title on the Diamond too

The Bishops have a shot at another state title this spring on the baseball diamond after beating Loris 2-1 for the Lower State title. The Bishops take on Upper State Champs Chesnee in Game 1 on Monday.

Game 2 in the best of three series will be held on Wednesday. A third game is tentatively scheduled for Friday if needed.
