McIntosh

Saturday was a good day for baseball and a good day for Whitewater and Starr’s Mill.

It was a Battle for the Troops and a battle for bragging rights. At the end of the night, each school had something to cheer about.

There's still a lot of baseball to be played but teams are making some moves in the standings.

Think of the last few weeks of the soccer season as a good meal. If the soccer games between Whitewater and Starr’s Mill were the appetizer, last Friday’s games between Whitewater and McIntosh were the main course, making tomorrow’s games between McIntosh and Starr’s Mill a delectable dessert that puts the cap on an awesome experience.

The only thing better than a rivalry soccer game is one for a good cause.

The McIntosh boy’s lacrosse team opened area play with a decisive win against Grady and an 8-4 loss against Lovett.

Sandy Creek held the Patriot Invitational on Saturday and local teams performed very well. On the girls side, Whitewater took second, ahead of McIntosh in third, Sandy Creek in eighth and Fayette County in 10th.

Friday night’s soccer action featured some rivalry games, but only one set produced any fireworks.

Starr’s Mill and McIntosh’s varsity tennis teams faced off on Tuesday and the teams from Starr’s Mill won against their rivals, 3-2.

McIntosh’s varsity girls tennis team defeated two Coweta teams in matches played March 4 and 8.
