The soccer

season is still young and local teams are starting to find their strides,

when the weather allows.

Tuesday night

saw Starr's Mill's girls and boys teams host Harrison. The Lady Panthers

struck early with Viktoria Frost scoring the first goal less than five

minutes in and Shelley Wegryzyn adding a goal a little over three minutes

later. Assisting on Wegryzyn's goal were Kelley O'Hara and Susan O'Brien.

The third and final goal for the Starr's Mill girls was scored with just

over 11 minutes remaining on a direct kick by Beth Meadors. Starr's Mill

was in control for much of the game, outshooting the Lady Hoyas 23-5.

In the boys game, the Panthers beat Harrison 3-0. Billy Jacobsen got two

goals, while CJ Cooper added one.

Starr's Mill

will play at Parkview on Saturday with the girls playing at 4 p.m. and

the boys following at 6 p.m. Parkview's girls are ranked fourth in AAAAA,

while the boys are ranked first. Both junior varsity teams will play at

Parkview on Saturday as well.

The Newnan

Lady Cougars earned their first area win Tuesday night with a 17-0 win

over Riverdale. The game was played over 40 minutes due to a GHSA rule

requiring a 10-0 differential in the first 20 minutes to shorten the match.

With it just 9-0 after 20 minutes, the teams played the full first half.

Newnan was led by Christie McDonald and Lanie Scott with four goals and

two assists each. Also scoring for the Lady Cougars were Wynn Mottola

with three goals and two assists, Lauren Clifton with two goals and two

assists, Caroline Child with two goals, Ginny Child with a goal and two

assists, Jennifer Rainey with one goal, and Ashley Hawkins with an assist.

McIntosh's

Lady Chiefs have had two similar matches, beating Riverdale 18-0 and Lovejoy

on Tuesday night 15-0. The Lady Chiefs will host East Coweta at 6 p.m.

tonight with the boys following at 8 p.m. The boys lost to fifth ranked

Brookwood 1-0 in the Brookwood tournament last Friday. The Lady Chiefs

are ranked third in AAAAA with the boys currently ranked sixth.

Sandy Creek's

boys and girls will have a busy weekend as they play in the LaGrange Invitational.

They faced Carrollton last night, will face LaGrange tonight, with the

girls playing at 5:30 and the boys following, and will wrap up the tournament

with games against Pacelli at 10 a.m. for the girls and noon.
