mboylan@TheCitizenNews.com With two games left in the regular season to determine their seeding in the state playoffs, Sandy Creek’s Lady Patriots are 10-4-1 overall and 4-2 in the region. Last week saw the girls beat Douglas County 4-2 and then lost to Chapel Hill 4-2. Last night, the girls played at Alexander and tomorrow they will close out the season with their senior night against Northgate at 5:30 p.m. The Whitewater Wildcats JV baseball team has had a very successful season, at least in the eyes of their head coach, Frank Dixon, a first-year head coach who has a team made up of first-year high school students. The Sandy Creek Lady Patriots couldn’t have asked for a better afternoon to host a soccer game, but they could have asked for a better result. When a baseball team wins a game it is often because of a full team effort. To emerge victorious, the team must have good pitching, timely hitting and a little bit of luck. As you read this, the 4-AAAAA boys region soccer champion has been crowned. Fayette County squared off against Starr’s Mill for the region title and a number one seeding in the upcoming state tournament last night. Visit www.thecitizennews.com to see the results.
