After coming up just short in last year’s state playoffs, the McIntosh Lady Chiefs had only one goal in mind for the 2013 season – going all the way.
“We’ve been thinking all year about that runner-up finish,” said head coach Wendy Weaver of last year’s AAAAA state finals, when her squad lost to Whitewater.
This year’s team steamrolled through its schedule and took home the state title last Friday by winning three of four games against Sequoyah in the best-of-five championship match at Marietta High School.

With two computers humming in my office, it’s fairly easy to get lost in my own little world of words and paragraphs, and ignore the domestic rumble from the kitchen. Dave is equally oblivious. He has one of those World War II remakes on, called something like “The Wall of the Atlantic,” so he’s occupied.
But there’s another sound coming from the kitchen. It’s the unmistakable clatter of canned goods on wooden shelves, occasionally yielding to a cabinet door closing or the refrigerator alarm pleading that someone will close a door.

Three schools in Fayette have learned who they will play this Friday for a shot at the state playoffs.
Because Region 4-AAAAA is split into two divisions, the top four teams in each division play each other the final week of the regular season. The top team on one side plays the fourth team on the other side, the second-place team on one side plays the third-place team on the other, and so on. The higher-ranked team gets to host each game.

A Peachtree City teenager was sent to prison for five years after his probation was revoked Wednesday based on an alleged sex crime involving a 14-year-old girl.
Joshua Phillip Mobley, 19, of Wisdom Road, has only been charged at this point with aggravated child molestation, but Fayette County Superior Court Judge Christopher Edwards ruled there was enough evidence to determine he had violated his conditions of probation from an incident last year involving a stolen golf cart.
