Football's

playoffs are still a few weeks away but several local softball teams enter

the state tournament this afternoon and the area cross country championships

take place tomorrow. This is the time of year that separates a good season

from a great season.

In softball,

East Coweta and Fayette County begin their search for a state title with

games at 4 p.m., while Starr's Mill and McIntosh kicks things off with

games at 6 p.m. The Lady Indians, the fourth seed out of region 4-AAAAA,

will face Lowndes and will take on the winner of Stockbridge and Brunswick

at 8 p.m. if they win. Fayette County, the top seed from region 4-AAAAA,

will play against Lee County, which is playing their first year of fast

pitch softball. If the Lady Tigers win they will take on the winner of

Henry County/Glynn Academy at 8 p.m.

Both McIntosh

and Starr's Mill will be in for a true double header if they win their

first games. McIntosh faces Tift County and would face either Eagle's

Landing or Groves at 8 p.m. if they win. Starr's Mill starts things off

with a game against Valdosta and would see either Wayne County or Jonesboro

at 8 p.m. with a win.

These games

will take place at Freedom Park in Valdosta.

As for cross

country, the area 4-AAAAA championships will take pace at Clayton County

International Park at 1 p.m., while the area 4-AAAA championship will

take place in Douglasville.
