Teams that fell victim to Landmark

included St. Vincent's, McIntosh, Milton, Sequoyah, Walton, Riverwood,

and unranked Kennesaw Mountain.

Starr's Mill: Out of more

than 30 teams, some of which came from as far away as Savannah, the Lady

Panthers secured a top-eight finish in last weekend's East-West Tournament

which concluded Saturday at Kennesaw Mountain High.

In the first round Thursday,

the Lady Panthers defeated Chattahoochee 25-12, 25-23. They followed that

up the same day with a 25-11, 25-14 win over Lakeside, earning Gold Pool

standings in the second round of the tournament.

The Lady Panthers returned

to action Saturday morning against Kell and won by scores of 25-20 and

25-8. That was followed by a match against state-ranked Lassiter, and

another win in two straight games (25-22, 25-13) to reach the top eight.

The tournament ended for Starr's

Mill with a best-of-three loss to Kennesaw Mountain (22-25, 25-23, 8-15),

but the top-eight finish was the best in the Lady Panthers' history

and improved their season record to 19-4 going into yesterday's match

against McIntosh. Starr's Mill is ranked 13th in the state.

McIntosh: In a busy week that

included the East-West Tournament, the Lady Chiefs moved to 22-4 on the

season and a No. 5 state ranking going into yesterday's Starr's

Mill match. They beat Fayette County in two straight games Sept. 9 and

picked up wins over Northview, Marietta and Harrison, each in two straight.

The Lady Chiefs' two losses last week were to teams ranked above

them - two of three games to St. Vincent's and two straight

to Landmark.

Sandy Creek: The Lady Patriots

beat Chapel Hill three out of four (25-19, 25-14, 21-25, 25-21) early

last week and also beat Northgate in three straight games (25-10, 25-13,

25-15). Both matches were in region play.

Last Thursday, Sandy Creek

won twice at home, beating Lithia Springs (25-9, 25-6 0 and Eagle's

Landing (25-7, 25-18).
