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.
