Lady Devils Perform Well at District 5 Tournament

On Saturday the Lady Devil's Soccer team fared well at the District 5 Tournament in Columbus. During the first game, the girls were a bit sluggish during the first half and didn't have much for South Dearborn . South Dearborn was up 3-0 at the end of the first half.


During the second half the Devil's seemed to come alive! There were great touches and passes and some great saves by the goalie. #16, Elizabeth Hunton, Sophmore, finally found the net from a great shot from the top of the 18, to make it 4-1. Then # 6, Bekah Burgan, Freshman, scored with the assist by #14, Brittany Searcy. The defense held South Dearborn to only one more goal to end the game at 5-2.

The Lady Devil's played Richmond next. This game proved to be a physically demanding one with the heat and humidity beating down on the field. The Lady's did very well. Execution was great and determination was fierce!

# 7 Cadie Kiger, a Freshman who normally plays JV was put in by Coach D. That proved to be a great move. Cadie scored with an assist from fellow Freshman, Bekah Burgan, to get the Devil's off to a great start. Soon #18, Rebecca Kitchen put another in the net off a great cross by Freshman Shelby West. Then Kiger proved her worth again by getting a pass off to Bekah Burgan, who sweetly placed it the goal.

Again, defense played wonderfully to hold Richmond to only one goal, which gave us the win, 3-1. Great job again girls.

The Lady Devil's Soccer team is 1-0 in regular season play and 1-1 at the District 5 tournament. We have three home games this week. On Tuesday we play Jennings County, Thursday its Providence and Saturday we play Jasper. Come join us in supporting the JHS Lady Devil Soccer teams.
