All extracurricular

activities for our local schools resumed on Wednesday, so barring any

other unfortunate events, the weekend schedule of high school athletics

will be played.

A big showdown

will take place in Newnan between the Newnan Cougars and the Starr's Mill

Panthers. Newnan is 2-0 and has scored a total of 88 points in their first

two games. Starr's Mill is 1-1 and is coming off an overtime win over

the Fayette County Tigers, thanks to an impressive defensive effort. This

game could help deterimine subregion supremacy.

East Coweta

(2-0) travels to Twelve Oaks stadium in Hampton to take on Forest Park.

The Indians have a high powered offense and a strong defense and will

look to remain undefeated against the Panthers. McIntosh (0-1) gets back

into action this Friday with their home opener against the Morrow Mustangs

(). The Chiefs established a good running game in the first half of their

game with Fayette County, but will have to play a full four quarters to

take a win from Morrow.

Sandy Creek

(0-2) has faced two ranked opponents in Class AAAA so far this season.

The Patriots get a small break this week as they have their first game

at home this season and face Pickens, a team from 7-AAA. The Patriots

would like to see a good effort from their offense as they have only scored

six points so far this season.

Our Lady of

Mercy (2-1) hosts their first Friday night game as they take on Blessed

Trinity Catholic High School. The Bobcats have shown great things, winning

two consecutive games. They have a solid running game and a defense that

has made key stops and turnovers.

Landmark Christian

(2-0) has already doubled their win total from last season and will host

Athens Academy tonight. The War Eagles have put up a lot of points and

have done a good job of limiting their opponents scoring opportunities.

Pace Christian will host Fayette Christian, their rival, for their homecoming

game. Pace Christian plays their home games at McCurry Park in Fayetteville.

All kickoffs

are scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

Saurday morning at 9 a.m. McIntosh and Starr's Mill will send their volleyball
