It was the final soccer game of the regular season for both

the Fayette County Tigers and the Upson-Lee Knights.

Upson-Lee seemed to determined to close the season out with a win and

vault themselves higher in the seedings for the regional playoffs, but

Fayette County's heart and determination was enough to keep

them at bay.

The Knights scored first, though Fayette controlled the pace

for most of the game. The Tigers were forced into a game of

catch up for most of the game however. The Tigers tied the game at

the half but went down 2-1 shortly after the second half began.

Fayette County scored to tie the game again, before going down

3-2. The Tigers got one more goal before the end of regulation

to force the game into overtime.

The Tigers forced the Knights into 20 goal kicks, meaning

that the Fayette pressure was constant around the net, just not as

accurate as it could be. Neither team scored in the overtime.

Fayette County wrapped up the second slot in the region and it appears

as though Upson-Lee will take fourth place.

Fayette County will face the Griffin Bears at Fayette

County High School in the first round of the regional playoffs. There

is still a possibility that Lovejoy would capturethe fourth seeding

, instead of Upson-Lee. The fourth seed will face the McIntosh Chiefs

at home.
