The Lady Chiefs and the Starr's Mil Panthers placed sixth, while the Lady Panthers placed fourth. The Starr's Mill boys defeated East Coweta 45-38 with some key free throw shooting in the fourth quarter but lost to Eagle's Landing 49-42 and to Riverwood 61-48. The Lady Panthers defeated the Mt. Zion Lady Bulldogs 56-37 but fell to Norcross 52-35 and lost to Eagle's Landing 46-31. McIntosh's Lady Chiefs got one win in the tournament as well.
