The regular

season of basketball ended last weekend and on Monday a much harsher season

began, the postseason. As long as you keep winning, you keep playing,

but when you lose, the season is over.

For most of

the Fayette County teams the postseason ended with a loss in the first

round, but several teams survive and in the case of the Sandy Creek's

boys, they haven't played yet.

The McIntosh

Lady Chiefs played Lovejoy on Tuesday night and lost 49-32. Lovejoy was

scheduled to play the Starr's Mill Lady Panthers yesterday at Fayette

County High School at 4 p.m. Starr's Mill advanced to the second round

team in scoring with 13 points.

East Coweta's

girls also advanced to the second round of the region tournament by defeating

Fayette County on Tuesday night, 52-48. The Lady Indians led 14-7 after

the first quarter and built a 19-11 lead in the second quarter before

the Lady Tigers went on a 16-0 run. Entering the fourth quarter, Fayette

County led 41-38 but East Coweta was able to salvage the win. They will

face Morrow at Fayette County High School today at 5:30 p.m. The winners

in the second round games will qualify for the state tournament and advance

to the semifinals starting tonight.

In other action,

McIntosh's boys lost to Riverdale 74-62, despite a blistering peformance

from Josh Burr, who scored 31 points. Sandy Creek's girls team lost to

Woodward Academy on Tuesday night 59-40. They wee led in scoring by Tiffany

Paschal who finished with 14 points. Sandy Creek's boys met Woodward Academy

at 4 p.m. at Union Grove High School.
