The East Coweta Lady Indians are ranked ninth in AAAA
basketball, at least until early next week. On Tuesday night they let one
slip away to the 14th ranked McIntosh Lady Chiefs, 55-50. The
East Coweta boys fell to the Chiefs as well on Tuesday, 67-57.
East Coweta faces Carver on Friday night before traveling to their
rivals, Newnan, on Tuesday.
As for McIntosh, they will meet their rivals, Fayette County,
on Tuesday as well. The girls should move up in the rankings after
handing East Coweta a loss on Tuesday and Griffin a loss last
Saturday.The boys are not ranked currently but their 16-2 record is quite
impressive. The Chiefs will host Lovejoy on Friday night and then
Starr's Mill on Saturday night.
Fayette County hosts Stockbridge and Sandy Creek
on Friday and Saturday respectively. Both the boys and the girls
teams have played very well of late but the boys have been handed two
one point losses to tough regional opponents.The boys should
not overlook Sandy Creek. The Patriots lost a one point heartbreaker
to 11th ranked Woodward Academy last weekend and looked
explosive against Starr's Mill on Tuesday night.
Starr's Mill hosts Forest Park on Friday night before traveling up
the street to McIntosh. If the girls shooting is on and the boys
can control the pace of the game, Starr's Mill could surprise
anybody. Games begin at 7 p.m. on Friday and at 6p.m. on Saturday.
