The GHSA boys and girls tennis semifinals and championship matches, originally scheduled for Saturday at the Rome Tennis Center, have been postponed.
They will be moved to participating schools because of the forecast of rain in northwest Georgia over the weekend.
The semifinals will be played Tuesday and Wednesday at the higher-seeded school or the winner of a coin flip if the teams have the same seed.
A coin flip held Friday determined that the top team on bracket would be at home if two same-seeded teams were scheduled to meet.
Buffer dates of May 15-16 have been set aside for the semifinals in the event of additional rain early next week.
The championship matches are scheduled for May 17 or May 19, also at the higher-seeded school or the winner of a coin flip.
Eleven defending state champions — six boys teams and five girls teams — are among the 64 teams still in the race for state titles.
The boys defending champs are Lambert, Johns Creek, Greater Atlanta Christian, Westminster, Columbus and Darlington. Returning girls champions are West Forsyth, Marist, Westminster, Brantley County and Lake Oconee Academy.
