The Starrs Mill Lady Panthers

won their 26th straight game and reached the finals of the Region 4-AAAAA

tournament with an 11-1 win over Fayette County Wednesday night at McCurry

Park.

Ranked first in the state, the Lady Panthers improved their record to

29-1 and awaited the winner of Thursday afternoons Fayette County-East

Coweta game to play for the region title. Starrs Mill would have to be

beaten twice to lose the championship.

The top four teams in the tournament Starrs Mill, Fayette County, East

Coweta and Lovejoy go on to the state sectionals in Valdosta next weekend.

The Lady Tigers beat East Coweta Tuesday night 8-7 to clinch their spot

in the state sectionals, while Starrs Mill defeated McIntosh 12-0 the

same night.

East Coweta qualified for state sectionals by moving back up through the

losers bracket in the double-elimination region tournament. The Lady Indians

defeated Newnan in their first game Wednesday, then beat Lovejoy, who

had won 5-4 over McIntosh earlier in the evening.

Not counting Mondays 7-0 win over Riverdale, which was a forfeit, Starrs

Mill outscored its opponents 107-1 in 11 games going into Thursday nights

action.
