Sandy Creek

East Coweta High School knew it had an ace in pitcher Cam Bedrosian.
He now has made the jump to elite status, having been drafted 29th overall by the Los Angeles Angels in the 2010 Major League Baseball amateur draft.
Bedrosian has “outstanding stuff” including a mid-90s fastball and a solid slider, and he has a good feel for pitching, according to his MLB scouting report. At six feet tall, he doesn’t have a traditional pitcher’s height, but any lack in that department is more than made up with a heavy dose of competitiveness and mound smarts, according to the scouting report.

Whitewater’s boys took second in the region 5-AAAA
championships, ahead of Starr’s Mill in third, but behind Banneker by 9.5 points. Sandy Creek took fifth, McIntosh palced sixth and Fayette County placed 11th.

The state track meets for girls took place last weekend and area schools proved their mettle with top finishes.

Starr’s Mill’s girls won the region 5-AAAA championship with 104 points, 17 points better than Alexander in second place.

Sandy Creek hosted a tri-meet last Wednesday with Starr’s Mill and MLK and both local schools nabbed a number of top finishes.

The regular season for the varsity baseball teams ends this week for teams in Region 5-AAAA and the region playoffs will begin next week.

McIntosh’s varsity boys soccer team (16-1), ranked first in Class AAAA, played two games in Alabama recently and won both games.

The Fayette County Championships were held last week at Fayette County High School and Starr’s Mill’s boys and girls won county titles, but each school in the county had a number of athletes score points and perform well.

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.
