A spectacular

baseball season ended Tuesday for the East Coweta Indians, who finished

second in the state after losing the third game of their AAAAA championship

series Tuesday to Colquitt County.

The 6-3 win

record on the season. Colquitt County, the second seed from Region 1-AAAAA,

finished 30-9 and won their second state championship (the first came

in 1997).

East Coweta

stormed through the postseason after finishing as the third-ranked team

in Region 4-AAAAA. The Indians swept Glynn Academy, Lee County, Pope and

Redan to reach the final round.

Colquitt County,

on the other hand, got a good look at teams from this area in the playoffs,

as three of their series wins were against Jonesboro, McIntosh and Fayette

County. The Packers also defeated Harrison in the quarterfinals.

The championship

round started Friday, but rain stopped play almost as it started. The

weather did not allow play to resume until Monday.

Colquitt County

won the first game of the series 3-2, but East Coweta came back for a

7-3 win and a split, forcing Tuesday's deciding game.
