Cherokee Firefighters, Educators To Battle In Game of Hoops

A series of basketball games will be organized between the two entities, which will raise proceeds to help county fire stations.

Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services fire fighters and Cherokee County School District faculty members will come together on the basketball court for a good cause. The Cherokee County Council of PTA is organizing six basketball games in which teams will compete in a game of hoops to raise funds. Those proceeds would fire stations purchase Apple iPads embedded with GPS capabilities that will allow them to arrive sooner to scenes of fires, said Council President Adam Belanger.  "We’re constantly reacting to an issue or problem, issue or tragedy," he said. "When this came to our attention, this was our chance to save lives before something bad happens."  Each of the school district's attendance zones will form six teams and participate…

The Golden Eagles will conclude its regular-season slate with a non-conference game against Macon State in Cartersville this Sunday.

The Golden Eagles capped off their regular-season GCAA schedule with wins over Central Georgia Tech on Sunday night at the Smyrna Community Center, as the women won a 76-73 thriller and the men cruised to an 86-63 win.

McIntosh Dismantles River Ridge in Tournament Championship

The young Lady Knights trail 34-4 at halftime before falling 52-16 to McIntosh.

McIntosh used the strength of River Ridge's offense against the Lady Knights to register a 52-16 victory in the basketball championship game of the inaugural Kell Longhorn Shootout tournament Tuesday night.

McIntosh buried River Ridge early with a barrage of 3-pointers in the first quarter to take a stunning 19-2 lead. Sophomore shooting guard Amanda Lindsey canned three consecutive 3-pointers in the period and fellow sophomore Gabi Seiler hit two more, including one at the buzzer.
