The Fayette County High boys soccer team opened up the 1999 season with a preseason jamboree at Woodward Academy on Friday night and a game against Collins Hill at home on Monday afternoon. The Tigers beat Douglas County 2-1 and defeated Cross Keys 2-0 on Friday. In their final game of the jamboree, Fayette County tied Woodward Academy 0-0. Michael Franklin, Brent Turner, Todd Edwards and Craig White all scored in the jamboree and an honorable mention goes out to sophomore Ryan Terry, for giving it his all before being taken down and suffering a broken leg. The injury puts him out for the season.

Senior Brent Turner had both goals in the Tigers 2-0 win against Collins Hill on Monday. David Dirring and Derek Walton each had an assist. The Tigers dominated Collins Hill, out shooting them 13-3. J.B. Wood and Jonathan Williams each played a half in the net and were ever really tested. Fayette County will travel to East Coweta High School on Friday to face the Indians at 7 p.m. The JV team will play at 5:30 p.m. After Friday night's game they won't be in the area again until Mar.4,5 and 6 when they participate in the Cougar Classic Soccer Tournament in Newnan.
