The Starr's

Mill Lady Panthers volleyball team was in top form this past weekend in

Conyers, bringing home the second place trophy in the Conyers Classic

Invitational.

In first-round

play last Thursday, Starr's Mill defeated Chamblee High School and Union

Grove High School, taking both matches 2-0. When play resumed Saturday

morning, Starr's Mill faced Oconee High School and walked away with their

first defeat of the tournament, 0-2.

In the quarter

finals, the Lady Panthers squared off against county rival McIntosh High

School in an exciting match highlighted with long rally points which brought

out the best in both teams. When all was said and done, Starr's Mill came

out on top, winning the match 2-1.

The Lady Panthers

then advanced to the semifinal round to face Henry County High School.

Impressive defensive play by Henry County kept the attack line of Starr's

Mill hitters looking for way to score, which they finally did, taking

the match 2-1 in another exciting three game match.

In the final

round, Starr's Mill again battled Oconee. After dropping the first game,

the Lady Panthers once more got behind in the points in the second game,

only to rally
