The brackets are set for the

Region 4-AAAAA softball tournament, which gets underway Monday afternoon

at McCurry Park in Fayetteville.

The Starr's Mill Lady

Panthers are the top seed, having closed out an undefeated region schedule

with Tuesday's 2-0 win over Fayette County. Starr's Mill, now

26-1 on the season and ranked first in the state in AAAAA, also won five

straight games in last weekend's Milton High tournament and has outscored

its opponents 84-0 over the past nine games.

The Lady Panthers play Riverdale

at 5 p.m. Monday, with the Lady Tigers set to take on Lovejoy at 7 p.m.

Seeded third in the region, the Lady Tigers are 21-8 overall and still

ranked in the state's top 10 as they look to defend their 2002 state

title.

Both the Starr's Mill

and Fayette County games will be played Monday on same field at McCurry

Park. On another field, the fourth-seeded McIntosh Lady Chiefs will face

Newnan at 5 p.m., with second-seeded East Coweta scheduled to play Mundy's

Mill at 7 p.m.

All eight teams will play again

Tuesday in the double-elimination tournament. The two teams who win Monday

and Tuesday will advance to the state sectionals.
