Our friends at the Clarion-Ledger have posted the matchups for this week's MHSAA baseball quarterfinals. By my count, there are 15 teams from the Journal's circulation "footprint," and several spots where we're guaranteed at least one team into the semifinals.

In Classes 3A and 2A, we're already assured of a state finalist.

I've got to be honest, it's weird to not see Tupelo H.S. on this list.

Here's a look at the Friday matchups. Game 2 would be at the other site on Saturday and a Game 3, if needed, would be back at these listed sites on Monday.
