The weekend

saw two sets of regional soccer opponents and county

rivals meet and the results were rather lopsided.

McIntosh traveled to Tiger Stadium on Saturday afternoon

and struck early and often.

Melanie

Schneider scored two goals for McIntosh in the first six

minutes of the game, as the Chiefs created all the

pressure early. Fayette County appeared a little stunned

at first but made several attempts in the game's second

10 minutes. McIntosh scored another goal in the 21st

minute of the first half and went into the half, leading

3-0.

Julie

Herdic, the leading scorer for the Lady Chiefs and the

region, scored the next two goals, eight minutes apart

from each other. Fayette County answered five minutes

later when Faith Joslin found the back of the net. It was

too little, too late for the Lady Tigers as McIntosh

would score two more goals and win the game, 7-1. The

Lady Chiefs are currently undefeated and beat Lovejoy

last Thursday evening, 15-0. The Lady Tigers will

participate in the Newnan Georgia-Alabama Challenge this

weekend. Their first game will be against Auburn at 7:30

p.m. Thursday evening.

The Starr's

Mill Lady Panthers, last year's AAA state soccer

champions, faced Sandy Creek last Friday night and won,

15-0. The team, which returns all of last year's players,

got multiple goal games from Kacy Murray and Janet Burke.

The Lady Panthers led 5-0 at the half and then exploded

for 10 second half goals. Starr's Mill has had an easy go

of things so far, but will host AAAA powerhouse Parkview

on Friday night. The lady panthers home games are played

at the Soccer Complex on Hwy. 74 in Peachtree City.

The

McIntosh boys soccer team is off to a good start as well.

Currently, 4-0, McIntosh hammered Carver-Columbus last

Friday night, 15-0. Matt Clements scored four goals for

the Chiefs and senior Beau Balesky only needs five more

goals this season to become the school's all-time leading

goal scorer. So far this season, McIntosh has outscored

their opponents, 29-1. The Chiefs hosted LaGrange last

night.

The Fayette

County boys wish things were going just a little better.

The Tigers found themselves on the losing side against

Upson-Lee the other night. They have not been outplayed

for an entire game, but they have yet to find their

rhythm on offense and defense. The fayette County boys

team will also play in the Newnan Georgia-Alabama

Challenge, facing Gadsden on Thursday evening at 7:30

p.m.
