Three area schools -- Fallston, Loch Raven and Hereford -- will certainly have their fill of soccer this weekend as the boys and girls soccer teams in each school qualified for the state tournament.

For a second straight year, Fallston had both its teams advance. The boys team will travel to Washington College to take on Dundalk in a Class 2A semifinal game tonight, while the Fallston girls play Eastern Tech at Harford Tech. Both games, unfortunately, start at 7:30, so I'm sure there will be plenty of phone calls and texting from Cougar supporters to see how each team is doing.

The two Hereford teams will be part of a Class 3A state semifinal doubleheader on Saturday at CBCC-Essex. The girls will take on Reservoir at 2:30 p.m., with the Hereford boys following against Atholton at 5.

At Loch Raven, some traveling will be in order to catch both games on Saturday as the Raiders compete in Class 1A action. The girls will be at North County to take on Mountain Ridge at noon before the boys got to North Hagerstown to take on Mountain Ridge at 7:30 p.m.

With the inclement weather, please be sure to call your schools to make sure the games are still being played at their scheduled times.
