The region

4-AAAAA soccer playoff start today and local teams have an excellent chance

of advancing and qualifying for the state tournament.

Both McIntosh

and Starr's Mill's boys and girls teams are the top seeds in the sub-divisions

and appear to be on a collision course to meet in the region finals, like

last year. McIntosh's boys and girls are both undefeated, while both Starr's

Mill teams have lost to some ranked opponents.

The McIntosh

Lady Chiefs have only given up two goals this year and one of those goals

came on Monday as they defeated ninth-ranked Walton 2-1. The Lady Chiefs,

ranked first in AAAAA, will host Henry County at 5:30 p.m. today. The

McIntosh boys soccer team, ranked third in AAAAA, faced McEachern last

night in a tune up for the playoffs and will host Stockbridge in the first

round of the region playoffs at 7:30 p.m.

Starr's Mill's

girls, ranked eighth in AAAAA, faced Pope Wednesday night. They were riding

a five-game winning streak going into the game. They will open the playoffs

at home Friday with a game against east Coweta at 7:30 p.m. The Starr's

Mill boys team is also ranked eight in AAAAA. The Panthers faced Harrison

Tuesday night and won 5-1. They will begin the region playoffs at home

against Lovejoy Friday at 5:30 p.m.

Fayette County's

Lady Tigers finished their season with two straight ties. They tied Northgate

1-1 last Thursday and tied Upson Lee 1-1 Tuesday night. The lady Tigers

will open the region playoffs on the road Friday at Jonesboro at 6 p.m.

The Fayette

County boys defeated Upson Lee 2-1 Tuesday night. They have two games

in a row going into their playoff game against Evans Friday. The game

will take place at Fayette County high School at 8 p.m.

East Coweta's

Lady Indians defeated Columbus 2-1 Tuesday night and will play at Starr's

Mill at 7:30 p.m. The East Coweta boys team will host Mt. Zion, Jonesboro

tonight at 7 p.m. The Newnan lady Cougars faced McEachern Wednesday night

and will open the playoffs at home against Stockbridge at 7 p.m.

Sandy Creek's

boys and girls play in region 4-AAAA and have one more game in their regular

season. The boys were all but eliminated from the playoffs with a 3-2

overtime loss to Union Grove. They defeated Northgate 5-2 in overtime

Tuesday but will need a lot to happen to make the state playoffs.

The Lady Patriots

lost to Northgate 7-0 Tuesday. Both the boys and girls were scheduled

to host Southside yesterday and both will play at Shaw next Wednesday.
