McIntosh wins two Classic games in overtime By MICHAEL
BOYLAN
The McIntosh Classic lived up to it's name, despite the Chiefs game with Warner Robins being postponed due to rain. Both of McIntosh's other two games went to overtime and both ended with the Chiefs as the winner. McIntosh faced Dobyns-Bennett and won 2-1. Matt Clements scored the first goal for the Chiefs off an assist from Omar Jarun. The goal tied the game at one goal a piece and forced an overtime. In the overtime period, Jarun scored a goal from an assit by Nick Corley. In their game against Vestavia Hills, Ala., McIntosh blew a 4- 1 lead and had to get a goal in overtime to secure the victory. McIntosh will get to face Warner Robins on Saturday, April 14 i Peachtree City. It too will be a classic match. Warner Robins defeated Vestavia Hills, 5-0 and beat Dobyns-Bennett, 3-1.
