The Liberty County Panthers will open the Class AAA state baseball playoffs with a short trip to a familiar foe.

The Panthers were assigned the No. 20 spot in the Class AAA power rankings and will travel to Brooklet to face Southeast Bulloch in the first round. Game times have not been announced in the best-of-three series but it is scheduled to start April 24.

The Yellow Jackets swept the season series from the Panthers, winning a pair of one-run games.

The winner of the Liberty-SEB series advances to meet the winner of the Stephenson vs. Peach County series.
