It will be

a busy weekend for some of our local high school athletic teams. There

will be some state quarterfinal soccer action in town Friday and Saturday,

while several tennis teams, baseball teams and golf teams are also competing

for a shot at a state title.

The McIntosh

boys and girls tennis teams and the Starr's Mill Lady Panthers are playing

in the state seminfinals for tennis at Stone Mountain on Saturday. The

McIntosh boys will meet Collins Hill, while the Lady Chiefs will face

Lassiter and Starr's Mill will face Walton.

If all three

teams should win, the boys wil face the winner of Glynn Academy and Walton

and McIntosh and Starr's Mill's girls would play each other. The finals

will follow the semifinals and tennis begins at 9 a.m.

The baseball

teams began play yesterday with doubleheaders. Fayette County hosted Northside,

East Coweta hosted Griffin and Sandy Creek played at Columbus. If the

teams split the doubleheaders, they will play some time this afternoon

at the same venue.
