Fayette's intracounty

athletic rivalries will have a slightly different look starting next fall,

as the Georgia High School Association voted Monday to finalize new classifications

for the 2004-05 school year.

Fayette County and Starr's

Mill remain in Region 4-AAAAA, along with East Coweta, Lovejoy, Mundy's

Mill, Newnan, and new member Union Grove from Henry County. McIntosh,

however, is moving to Region 4-AAAA.

So while the Chiefs' games

against the Tigers and Panthers will not have the significance of being

region contests, the other two schools in the county - Sandy Creek

and Whitewater - will become region foes for McIntosh. Sandy Creek

is already a member of 4-AAAA. Other region schools next year are Alexander,

Chapel Hill, Creekside, Douglas County, Haralson County, Lithia Springs,

Northgate, Villa Rica and Woodward.

Landmark Christian and Our

Lady of Mercy Catholic, two local schools in Region 5-A, will stay there.

They are joined next year by Atlanta International, Ben Franklin, Cathedral

Academy, DeKalb Arts, Eagle's Landing Christian, Galloway, Greenforest,

Mt. Paran, Mt. Zion-Carroll, Southwest Atlanta Christian, St. Francis,

W.D. Mohammed, Whitefield and Yeshiva.
