Against a Loganville team vying for their fourth consecutive state title, the Panthers outplayed the Red Devils in two tight games to sweep Loganville 1-0 and 4-2 to win the state championship. This win was the first time Starr’s Mill has ever won the state championship. “It’s been a long time since I’ve been wanting one of these,” Yeager said. “We’ve earned it.” Next year, Wagenknecht will play at Flagler College and Yeager will play at Wofford College.

The Lady Panthers lacrosse team walks off the field at the end of the A-AAAAA state championship game against the Blessed Trinity Lady Titans. Though they put up a fight, Blessed Trinity was too much of a dominant force to overcome, and the Lady Panthers fell 12-6. This was the first time in the season since early March that the team was not able to overcome a deficit they fell into. Even though they lost, this is the third straight year the Lady Panthers were, at worst, the state runner-up.

‘So much more than a trophy’
