McIntosh wins lacrosse tourney

More than 700 players, parents and fans came out for the recent three-day Peachtree City Invitatational Lacrosse Tournament, which was won by the McIntosh High School Lacrosse Club, the only undefeated team out of the nine squads in the event.

McIntosh defeated last year's North Georgia Lacrosse League champions from Gwinnett and won twice against this year's champ, Woodstock 6-3 in the semifinals and 7-6 in the final game.

Playing in the pouring rain, the Chiefs came from behind twice after being down 2-0 and 4-2. They took control of the ball and scored three quick goals, but Woodstock answered with two goals. At the face-off the Chiefs gained control of the ball with three minutes to go and never looked back.

Woodstock finished second, and Gwinnett third.

The Chiefs' goalie, Dan Griffin, was selected by four out of five opposing coaches as the Peachtree City Invitational Lacrosse Tournament MVP.
