This is the

final week of the regular season of high school soccer.

Most schools were off for the entire week, while some

teams had to round out their schedule or were still

jockeying for playoff position.

The

McIntosh Lady Chiefs played in the Wando Women's Soccer

Showcase Tournament last weekend. The Lady Chiefs played

Langley, Va. and won by a score of 5-3. McIntosh then

faced Riverside, SC and Wando, SC winning by scores of

7-2 and 4-0 respectively. The Lady Chiefs will host the

Newnan Lady Cougars in the first round of the region

playoffs next Tuesday.

On Tuesday

night, the Newnan Lady Cougars fell to Griffin, 2-1.

Newnan was down 2-0 at the half but opened the second

half strongly with a goal from Lanie Scott. Though the

Lady Cougars kept up the pressure, they could not get

another goal. Griffin will host the Fayette County Lady

Tigers next Tuesday evening.

The Fayette

County Lady Tigers looked to be in playoff form on

Tuesday night, as they tied Brookwood, 1-1. It was the

first time in the last several meetings between the two

teams that Fayette County did not lose. Amy Eller scored

the goal for the Lady Tigers. She was assisted by Faith

Joslin. Fayette County has one more game left in the

regular season. They will host LaGrange on friday night

at 7 p.m.

In the

other game on Tuesday night, Starr's Mill's girls soccer

team defeated Heritage, 2-0. The Lady Panthers are in top

form and are the top seed in the region. They will host

the first round of the playoffs in their new stadium next

Tuesday night.

Wednesday

night saw the McIntosh Chiefs crush the Newnan Cougars by

a score of 7-0. McIntosh is the top seed in the region

and will host either Newnan or Stockbridge in the

playoffs next week. In the other Wednesday match, Fayette

County's boys defeated the Chattahoochee High School

Cougars by a score of 2-1. Down 1-0 late in the first

half, the Tigers responded and scored off a penalty kick

taken by Nick Zatezalo. Later in the second half,

Zatezalo had a throw in deflect directly to Alex Crawford

who gave the Tigers the win.

Fayette

County has clinched a playoff spot, but must wait for the

results of Griffin's game with LaGrange on Friday to

determine their seeding.
