Several local

athletes placed at the Georgia Coaches Invitational meet at Georgia Tech

last weekend. On the girls' side, Cammy Andrews of Fayette County tied

for sixth in the high jump and Jenny Norman of Starr's Mill placed eighth

in the discus throw. In boys' action, Starr's Mill finished eighth in

the 4x400-meter relay and fifth in the 800 sprint medley, while Johnny

Edwards of the Panthers placed eighth in the 100 and teammate Michael

Kursteiner tied for sixth in the high jump.

The Starr's

Mill Lady Panthers defeated Lovejoy 15-0 in a March 14 match. Shelley

Wegrzyn, Tannah Castro and Beth Meadors scored three goals apiece, while

Kelley O'Hara, Michelle Callen and Katie Jacobsen each contributed two

goals.

Lovejoy's

boys defeated Landmark 3-2 in an overtime match March 18. Eric Worrell

scored both Landmark goals, one off an assist from Joseph Keywood and

the other after a 30-yard run with the ball. After Lovejoy scored in the

first overtime, the second extra period was not played due to darkness.

off a Keywood throw-in. Blake Fertitta took a long kick from Keywood and

dribbled past several defenders for the final score.

Starr's Mill

downed Newnan 4-1 in girls' action March 18. The Lady Panthers' Kelley

35 yards out. Newnan's lone goal came midway through the first half when

Emily Asher's corner kick was deflected to Christie McDonald, who scored

on a header.
