Trojans fall in Second Region tournament

By CHARLIE HUST

Webster County’s soccer team battled to the end last Tuesday night in the school’s first appearance in the Second Region tournament held at Donley Field on the campus of Madisonville-North Hopkins High School.

After jumping on top 2-0 in the first half, Trigg County had to hold off a Lady Trojan comeback bid with a ‘free kick’ and a trio of spectacular saves from its goalie to secure the 3-2 win. It was Trigg County’s first-ever regional tourney victory.

It was all Trigg County (6-8-1) early in the match as the Lady Wildcats got a breakaway goal from Brittany Shafer at the 18:32 mark and then another goal just five minutes later for the quick 2-0 lead.

The momentum shifted from that point on as Webster went into attack mode and dominated the remainder of the contest.

WCHS girls soccer team wins Sixth District Tournament

By CHARLIE HUST

Despite a gutsy performance from the Lady Trojans, a very talented Henderson County squad prevailed with an 8-1 victory in the championship game of the Sixth District Tournament Wednesday night at Union County High School.

The Lady Colonels (13-7-2) scored four of their eight goals in the final 20:00 of the match, including two goals in the last 4:00.

Webster (10-6-2), which lost to Henderson 8-0 in late September, looked much improved in the district matchup, taking the fight to the HCHS squad. A goal from Christin Poole just 3:30 into the match gave Henderson a quick 1-0 lead. But the Lady Trojans  battled tough and kept the margin from growing most of the first half. That changed when Henderson scored two late goals in the period, including one with just 10 seconds remaining in the half from a 3-0 lead.

The talented senior signed with the Lady Tigers over the weekend after several visits to other schools.
