The McIntosh

Lady Chiefs will have their biggest game of the season tomorrow when they

host Parkview at 7:30 p.m.

McIntosh, ranked

number one in Georgia's AAAAA classification, also tops the national rankings

of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America and Student Sports

magazine. One win away from the final four of the state playoffs, they

are 20-0 and have outscored their opponents this year 157-8, posting 13

shutouts along the way. The team also boasts Region 4-AAAAA's top scorer,

Jessie Lenze who has 39 goals and 12 assists this season.

"This

is a hard working, cohesive group," said Coach Stephen Buckner. "They

are on the same wave length as to what their objective is."

When asked

if that objective was a state title, Buckner responded by saying, "The

goal is to play as well as we possibly can. If that means a state title,

then so be it."

Saturday's

game will be the team's first game back on their home field at McIntosh

since a new $50,000 surface was installed. The team will also be celebrating

senior night and will retire former standout Julie Herdic's number at

halftime.

Parkview is

currently ranked third in the state in AAAAA and sports a record of 18-1.

The winner of this game will face the winner of East Coweta/Roswell in

the semifinals.
