Two weeks after three SCISA girls' tennis teams from the Charleston area marched on Sumter, three local SCHSL teams have their sights set on Sumter for next weekend. Wando and Bishop England look like can't-miss candidates to return to the High School League's state championship weekend to defend their titles, and Academic Magnet has a solid shot at being there, too. Under new coach Brooke Floyd, Academic Magnet has a luck of the draw match on tap Tuesday at Johnsonville in the Class A state quarterfinals, with the winner advancing to Friday's semifinals at Sumter. Academic Magnet, which scored a 7-0 win over Hannah-Pamplico on Thursday, lost 4-3 to Green Sea-Floyds in last year's quarterfinals, but got a break this time with Green Sea-Floyds bracketed for a possible state semifinal against the Raptors. Wando is in search of a sixth straight Class AAAA state title, but the 21-0 Warriors must defeat 2008 semifinal victim Lexington in the quarterfinals on Tuesday at the Wando courts to advance to Sumter.
