The McIntosh Chiefs improved their record to 3-0 with a win over Upson-Lee last week. Beau Balesky hit his sixth goal of the season early in the first half and the Chiefs enjoyed an early 1-0 lead over the Knights of Upson-Lee until the 17th minute of the second half. Jared Davis, of Upson-Lee floated a pass over two McIntosh defenders to a streaking Josh Hudson. Hudson found the back of the net and the game was tied. The tie was short-lived though. McIntosh's Matt Clements scored after getting a brilliant pass from senior Adam Graham. Soon after, Graham launched a ball deep into the Knights penalty area. The ball glanced off of an Upson-Lee player and dribbled into the net, giving the Chiefs a 3-1 lead.

In the 35th minute of the second half, Balesky struck a hard shot to the back post for his second goal of the game. Less than a minute later, junior Fabian Lamy found Matt Clements open for the fifth and final goal of the night. The Chiefs won by a final score of 5-1.

The Lady Chiefs have been rolling along as well. They defeated Upson-Lee, 6-0 and then hammered Lovejoy 15-0. Their two sophomores, Julie Herdic and Keri Pendergrass have been offensive machines for the Lady Chiefs. Pendergrass has scored six goals in three games. They have also got outstanding performances from freshman sweeper Melanie Schneider. She scored three goals in the game against Lovejoy. McIntosh hosted the East Coweta Indians last night.
