The

regional soccer playoffs wrapped up last week and the

county is once again surrounded by region and area

champs.

The Starr's

Mill boys soccer team hosted the Henry County Warhawks on

Thursday night for the 4-AAA area championship. The Lady

Panthers had wrapped their area championship the night

before. The Panthers dominated the Warhawks the entire

way, but couldn't capitalize on their many scoring

attempts.

Their fate

changed in the last 10 minutes of the game though, when

Jordan Davis put the ball in the back of the net. The

goal reenergized the Panthers who put a number of shots

on the Henry County net. It appeared they had scored an

insurance gal with two minutes remaining but it was

called back due to offsides. The win gave the Panthers

home field advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

They hosted Hardaway last night at 6:30 p.m., while the

Lady panthers will host Shaw tonight.

McIntosh

High School was the scene of a doubleheader of regional

finals on Friday night. The Lady Chiefs faced their

rivals the Fayette County Lady Tigers, while the boys

faced the Griffin Bears.

The Lady

Chiefs dominated the game from the opening kick, putting

tons of pressure on the Tiger defense and goalkeeper

Cassie Coggins. The score didn't reflect the tone of the

game though as it was 0-0 at the half. McIntosh scored

eight minutes into the second half when Julie Herdic

scored off of a corner kick by Elizabeth Gardner. It was

18 minutes before the Lady Chiefs scored again, but then

the floodgates opened, leading to a 4-0 victory and a

regional championship.

The boys

faced the Griffin Bears and won by the same score of 4-0.

The offense was too much for the Bears to handle, as the

Chiefs got good performances from the whole team,

including Beau Balesky, Matt Clements and Charlie

Gonzalez. The boys hosted Warner Robins last night after

the girls faced Lakesdide-Evans.

The Fayette

County girls are scheduled to meet Houston County in

Houston County tonight at 6 p.m.
