The Sandy Creek

Lady Patriot softball team played in the area tournament held at Redwine

Park in Tyrone last weekend. Winning the tournament meant advancing to

the sectionals, while losing meant the end of the 2000 season.

Sandy Creek

opened the tournament on Thursday with a win against Rockdale County.

The game lasted nine innings and Sandy Creek emerged victorious, 3-1.

Friday's tournament action was rained out, requiring the teams to play

at least two games on Saturday. Sandy Creek faced Heritage in the first

game and lost, 5-2. Their second game was against Woodward Academy. It

also went into extra innings, but this time the Lady Patriots were on

the other side, losing 3-1.

Sandy Creek

did have several players named to the first and second team All-Area teams

and several players received honorable mentions for their play this season.

Junior Jessica DeMooney was named to the first team infield, while sophomore

Krystal McBride was named to the first team outfield. Junior Carrie Rountree

was named to the second team as a catcher and freshman Terri Manthey was

named to the second team as a pitcher. Junior Chrissy Lunsford and sophomore

Sydney Sned were given honorable mentions in the infield.
