The first part

of the high school basketball season continued on Tuesday night and many

local teams ended up on the short end of the stick.

McIntosh's

Lady Chiefs fell to South Cobb in the Mt. Zion Thanksgiving tournament,

59-52. South Cobb took a 10 point lead in the first quarter but McIntosh

regrouped, played better defense and shot better in the second and third

quarters. The Lady Chiefs took a 51-49 lead with a little over three minutes

left but lost when South Cobb's play got more physical.

led all scorers with 22 points, a team best so far this season. McIntosh

will play at Riverdale on Tuesday, Dec. 3 at 6 p.m. with the varsity boys

playing afterwards.

varsity boys faced the top rated Creekside Seminoles and lost 76-65. The

Patriots played a good game, going into the half deadlocked with the Seminoles

at 36 ponts a piece. Creekside took a lead in the second half but Sandy

Creek cut the lead to six points with just over a minute to go before

Creekside pulled away.
