The Starr's Mill boys and girls soccer team traveled to St.
Pius on Tuesday night. They had been looking forward to this
match since last year. The Lady Panthers lost to St. Pius ion the state
finals last year and were looking for some vengeance. Starr's
Mill scored 23 minutes into the game when Janet Burke scored off of
a Brady Ragan assist. Kacy Murray scored less than a minute
after that to bring the score to 2-0. St. Pius answered only moments
after the second Starr's Mill goal, but after that it was all Lady
Panthers.
Janet Burke scored two more goals, Alice Martin scored
three and Kacy Murray added another one. Allison Graham had
three assists in the game. The final score was 8-1.
The boys lost their game to St. Pius, last year's state
semifinalist, 1-0. The game was scoreless through most of the game but
St. Pius scored with less than four minutes remaining. The
Panthers pushed and pushed for a goal in the final minutes of the game
and narrowly missed. Starr's Mill will host Harrison on Friday night
at the Baseball/Soccer Complex on Hwy. 74 South in Peachtree City.
The Starr's Mill boys and girls golf team defeated Griffin
on Tuesday. Andrew Suggs tied his own school record by shooting
a 37 to lead the boys. The boys team defeated Griffin by
2 strokes. Ashley Parrish shot a 49 for the girls, who defeated
the Lady Bears by 12 strokes. The Panthers are gearing up for
the Fayette County Championships this Saturday.
