Newnan's boys

and girls basketball teams faced Starr's Mill on Tuesday night and both

teams scored 51 points. Unfortunately, neither of the Starr's Mill teams

could muster over 38 points. The Lady Panthers fell to Newnan 51-36, while

the boys lost 51-38.

The Starr's

Mill girls found themselves down by 10 points at the end of the first

and second quarter and by 14 points heading into the fourth.

"It was

an ugly game," said Coach Bob Ferguson. "We did not play with

a lot of intensity." Among the players that gave a good performance

for the Lady Panthers were Jenny Norman who scored 15 points, Ashley Marine,

who finished with 12 points and freshman Katie Jacobsen who played some

solid defense.

The Starr's

Mill boys played a good first quarter and had a 10-8 lead over the Cougars

going into the second quarter. Newnan outscored the Panthers in the second

quarter 15-4 and 13-7 in the third quarter to take control of the game.

The Panthers made a run in the fourth, as Mike Mock and Caleb Graham combined

to score all 17 fourth quarter points and cut Newnan's lead to six points.

Graham finished with 18 points while Mock added 12 points.
