The region

golf tournament began Monday and Fayette County High School entered with

a little bit of momentum.

The Tigers

defeated Eagle's Landing last Tuesday at Eagle's Landing Country Club

by 15 strokes. Josh Burr and Ian Cutting shot a 40, which was four over

par, and Andrew Huff shot a 42. The following day saw the Tigers beat

Henry County at Georgia National Golf Club by 16 strokes. Paul Figel shot

a 39 for Fayette County while Matt White, Andrew Huff and Stephen Weitzel

all had rounds of 40.

Suzanne White

joined the boys golf team at the region tournament, which was held at

White Oak golf club in Newnan.

The Sandy Creek

girls team is performing very well this year as well. The team, which

consists of senior Brittney Bryant and juniors Amanda Thomas and Erin

Mahone, is currently 11-0 going into the final two matches of the regular

season. The Lady Patriots faced Westlake yesterday and will take on Banneker

tomorrow before playing in the region tournament at Honey Creek golf course

in Conyers next Tuesday.

Sandy Creek's

competition will come from Woodward Academy, who is the favorite to capture

the region championship.

The top two

teams from the region will enter the state tournament and Coach Jim Waller

feels his team is in the hunt for one of those two spots.
