Six of the

seven local soccer teams from Region 4-AAAAA saw their seasons come to

an end over the weekend in the quarterfinals of the AAAAA state soccer

tournament. The only team to survive was the top ranked McIntosh Lady

Chiefs, who will play in the semifinals tonight.

The boys teams

played last Friday. McIntosh hosted Parkview, their annual postseason

rivals, while Fayette County played at Milton and Starr's Mill played

at Brookwood. The Chiefs game went in to double overtime before Parkview

scored, thus closing out the McIntosh boys season. Omar Jarun scored the

goal for the Chiefs. Starr's Mill faced Brookwood and lost 2-1. Jared

Grace scored for the Panthers off of a throw in from Robert Cooper. Though

Starr's Mill had several more scoring opportunities, they could not capitalize.

Fayette County faced Milton and lost, 3-1.

The girls played

their games on Saturday. Newnan's Lady Cougars saw their historic postseason

run come to an end as they lost to the Harrison Lady Hoyas, 2-1. Amanda

Morton scored the goal for Newnan on a well-placed penalty kick. The Fayette

County Lady Tigers hosted Walton and lost, 5-1, while Starr's Mill hosted

Pope and lost 2-1. Alice Martin scored the lone goal for the Lady Panthers

before the half. McIntosh's Lady Chiefs played at Sprayberry and won,

1-0. Britney Jones scored the goal for the Lady Chiefs with less than

12 minutes remaining in regulation. McIntosh had more touches on the ball

and more shots but could not capitalize.

The Lady Chiefs

will face Harrison tonight at 6 p.m. If they win they will host the winner

of the Pope/Walton match in the finals on Saturday.
