The McIntosh

tennis teams hosted Lovejoy last week before heading to the Granger Invitational

over the weekend.

Both squads

swept all of their positions against Lovejoy. Priscilla Roberts, Rebecca

Timmis and Denise Daughenbaugh won their singles matches while the double

teams of Sunya Sweeney and Adrianne Hodges, Renae Clark and Shelby Carlson

and Stacy Brundrette and Ream Faruqui won their matches. The winners for

the boys were Brenton James, Robert Lochridge and James Dwyer in singles

matches and Mike Saheim and Justin Hale, and Phil Van Fossan and Sunddep

Sood in doubles matches.

At the 10th

annual Granger Invitational, the girls placed second while the boys placed

fourth. The Chiefs entered the tournament with 15 other schools. The girls

defeated Tucker and Glynn Academy 5-0 and Lakeside 3-2 before losing a

close one to Pace Academy 3-2. The boys defeated Rockdale and Carrollton

5-0 before losing two close matches to Glynn Academy, 3-2, and Marietta,

3-2. Both squads were missing several varsity members.

The girls team

has received a boost this year from some very experienced players. Roberts,

Hodges and Timmis are all ranked in the top 100 of junior USTA players

in the state and Roberts is ranked in the top 50 in the nation in the

girls 14 singles division.

McIntosh faced

East Coweta yesterday and will travel to the Woodcreek subdivision Thursday

to take on Starr's Mill.

In other tennis

news, Kacie Anson of Fayetteville was named the state's best tennis player

in the girls 18 and under age division. The award was given by the Georgia

Tennis Association, in conjunction with the USTA.
