McIntosh
volleyball team enters tourney as top seed
Thursday
night was Senior Night at McIntosh High School for the seven senior
ladies on the Chiefs'14th-ranked volleyball squad. The last home contest
for these super seniors was also an opportunity to finish region play
undefeated. The last region opponent, East Coweta, was first up for
the Chiefs. Game one started ominously, with the Indians of East Coweta
jumping out to a commanding 8-0 lead before McIntosh seemed to wake
up. Last year's region MVP, Megan Bartels, then got the serve, and served
three aces among six straight points. The team then traded points until
an Alice Lowery kill tied it up at 9-9. From that point, a superb blocking
effort by the Indian front line shut the Chiefs down, and East Coweta
stunned the McIntosh squad, 15-9.
