The Georgia High School Association has released the brackets for the first round of the state basketball tournament.

The Richmond Hill boys' team will host a school familiar to Wildcat fans in Lee County. The Trojans beat Richmond Hill 29-21 in the first round of the AAAAAA state football playoffs last November en route to their championship run.

The game is scheduled for 6 p.m. Saturday.

The Lee County boys' basketball team finished the season 9-17 overall and 4-5 in Region 1-AAAAAA. The Trojans are the No. 3 seed in their region. The Wildcats are hosting a state tournament basketball game for the first time since 2012 as the No. 2 seed in Region 2-AAAAAA. They finished 15-11 overall and 4-4 in the region.

If Richmond Hill wins, they would play Feb. 21 or 22 and either host Lakeside Evans or travel to Stephenson. The Wildcats have not advanced to the second round of the state tournament since their 1994 state championship season.
