Postseason kicks off next week for both Graham High School soccer teams.

After finishing second in district with a 6-2 record, the Lady Blues are looking to push past the area round — the furthest either team has made it into playoffs.

Last season, the Lady Blues won their bi-district matchup 3-1 against Borger. The team had dropped an early season match-up with Borger 3-0 but were able to flip the script and secure their area spot.

The Blues faced the Lubbock Liberty Lady Patriots in the area round, and narrowly missed moving to the regional semi-finals after falling 1-0.

The Steers, who finished fourth in district with a record of 2-6, will travel Monday, March 16 to Wichita Falls for a warm-up game against the Memorial Mavericks.

Last season, the Steers made it out of the first round of the playoffs picking up a hard fought 1-0 victory over Perryton before dropping their area round matchup to Bowie, 6-2.
More information on bi-district match-ups will be released as it is received.
