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.
