Local basketball

teams hoped to stay sharp by participating in holiday basketball tournaments

or playing out of region games. Starr's Mill hosted a tournament and both

the Starr's Mill boys and girls teams, as well as the McIntosh Lady Chiefs,

struggled against some tough competition. The Lady Chiefs and the Starr's

Mil Panthers placed sixth, while the Lady Panthers placed fourth.

The Starr's

Mill boys defeated East Coweta 45-38 with some key free throw shooting

in the fourth quarter but lost to Eagle's Landing 49-42 and to Riverwood

61-48. The Lady Panthers defeated the Mt. Zion Lady Bulldogs 56-37 but

fell to Norcross 52-35 and lost to Eagle's Landing 46-31. McIntosh's Lady

Chiefs got one win in the tournament as well. They defeated Riverwood

64-33 but lost to Eagle's Landing 44-28 and to East Coweta 45-38.

Fayette County's

boys and girls stayed out of holiday tournaments but faced Cross Keys

on Saturday and both got wins. The Lady Tigers won 71-26, while the boys

won 57-52.
