If I recall

correctly, it is the Mcintosh girl's soccer team that is

number one in the nation, and if that doesn't warrant a

few snapshots at their state championship game, then

nothing does.

Throughout

the year, your reports, stories, and pictures have been

completely one-sided. Starr's Mill, maybe because of the

newness of their school or maybe for other reasons, has

been covered from head to toe this year, while Mcintosh

has been left in the dust.

Obviously,

the state of our facility has blinded what should be

objective coverage of high school sports in this county.

When the community judges the schools like this, they

lose the pure innocence of high school sports and make

the division between McIntosh and Starr's Mill even

larger.

I am not

putting down Starr's Mill in any way. It is an excellent

high school with many talented athletes and a wonderful

faculty who help Starr's Mill students achieve their many

accomplishments. However, not being able to look in our

county's newspaper and see an article or a picture about

our school, while Starr's Mill is plastered all over the

front page, is very upsetting.

McIntosh is

second in the state of Georgia in academics, and has won

numerous region and state titles in athletic competition.

McIntosh has a 20-year tradition of excellence in region

and state championships, and we are proud to welcome

Starr's Mill to that Fayette County tradition.

Still,

Fayette County citizens must be extremely spoiled if

Mcintosh, a state leader in academic and athletic

distinction, is not good enough to be put in the county

newspapers. Someone needs to seriously rethink what is

going in our newspapers.
