The Newnan Times-Herald

Chaycie Goggins scored 12 points Monday night to lead the Madras Lady Eagles to a 33-17 win over the Evans Lady Cougars in a first round matchup of the Coweta County Middle School Athletic League Girls Tournament played at Evans Middle School.

The Lady Eagles (6-5) will face the Smokey Road Lady Wildcats who is the top seed in the tournament on Wednesday in a semifinal game at Evans starting at 6:15 p.m. while the Lady Cougars finished their season at 2-9.

In the first period, Goggins provided most of the damage with nine points as Madras led 15-2 but Evans played scrappy defense forcing several turnovers in the second period and outscored the Lady Eagles 8-6 but still trailed 21-10 at intermission.

The third period was low scoring as the Lady Eagles outscored the Lady Cougars 4-3 and led 25-13 going into the fourth period in which they won 8-4.

Caroline Thompson followed Goggins in scoring for the Lady Eagles with nine points and Ebony Echols followed with seven points while Allie Crain led the Lady Cougars with seven points.

In the other first round game of the evening, Shemiah Sanchez and Lyric Underwood each scored nine points to lead the Arnall Lady Knights to a 37-13 win over the East Coweta Lady Indians.

The Lady Knights (7-4) will face the defending champion Lee Lady Timberwolves who is the second seed in the tournament on Wednesday at 5 p.m. also at Evans while the Lady Indians finish 0-11.

The first period was low scoring as Underwood accounted for the only points for both clubs with a field goal and a free throw, but in the second period Diamond Pettaway and Kalyn Jennings combined for nine of Arnall's 11 as they took a 14-4 lead to the locker room.

Pettaway would follow Underwood and Sanchez in scoring as she recorded eight points.

The Lady Knights began to pull away from a scrappy Lady Indians defense in the third period with an 11-5 session and held a 25-9 score going into a fourth period in which they outscored EC 12-4.

Kiandrea Hall led the Lady Indians in scoring with eight points, followed by Stephanie Breaux with four points.

The tournament will continue this evening with the first round of the boys tournament at Evans with third-seed Arnall facing sixth seed East Coweta at 5 p.m. while fourth-seed Lee will be facing fifth-seed Madras at 6 p.m.
