The Fayette County Lady

Tigers lost to East Coweta Friday night and are 1-3

overall, but they aren't hanging their heads.

With only one senior on the

squad, who transfered to Fayette County High from Eagle's

Landing Christian Day School, the team is young and

inexperienced. Though it is a rebuilding year of sorts

for Coach Gene Mustain and the Lady Tigers, the team is

upbeat and improving game to game.

"We've played well

this year against some very tough competition," said

Mustain. "We came out a little shell-shocked in the

first half against East Coweta, but we played very

aggressively and even in the second half."

The Lady Indians start five

seniors, while the Lady Tigers have two returning

starters from last year's team.

Both Anne Hancock and Kara

Davis played well for Fayette County Friday. Hancock had

a lot of good plays and a few three pointers and Davis

played well against East Coweta's top player, Trishica

Evans, holding her to 13 points on the night.

The Lady Tigers are a much

different team from last year, but there are strengths

that weren't there on last year's squad. This team is

quicker and more athletic and the entire team has been

able to play in all four games. In their game against

Newnan, the Lady Tigers had 11 scorers.

Their goal for right now is

to get more experience and have fun. The Lady Tigers will

have their first two home games of the year this Tuesday

and Friday. They will host the Sandy Creek Lady Patriots

Tuesday and LaGrange Friday.

Saturday, Fayette County

will travel to Starr's Mill.
