OAKWOOD — The Chestatee boys basketball team’s solid second half of the season almost yielded a state playoff spot, but one game still stood in the way. Despite winning nine of their last 12 regular-season games after a 3-10 start, the War Eagles will miss the playoffs for the fifth consecutive year after a 78-56 loss to Stephens County in the first round of the Region 8-AAAA Tournament on Tuesday at Johnson High. Chestatee (12-14) closes out the year having more than doubled its win total from the previous season, a fact that coach Gary Barnes says will make his team even better next season.
