Ethan Kennedy had two goals and an assist. Ben Mcdaniel had a solo goal and Brodie Leiser also was credited with an assist.

Lafayette outshot the Lions, 29-9. Beau Thrash made four first-half saves, while Devin Henderson made three stops in the second half.

The Lady Ramblers soccer team picked up the shutout win in Dalton. Megan Wilson scored off a corner kick from Bailey Tarvin in the first half, while Lafayette (1-0-2) increased its lead to 2-0 at intermissi­on after a goal from Emma Fielding. Wilson provided the assist.

Wilson also assisted on the third goal, which was scored by Imani Cook, while Fielding got her second goal of the match later in the second half, this one on an assist from Kailee Queen.

Railee Lynn would get the clean sheet in net, while the backline of Ashton Stalling, Callie Payne, Gracie Hess, Caitlyn Watson and Darsey Shields would hold the Lady Lions to less than five shot attempts.

Wilson, Queen and Shelby Adkins were also noted for their play in the midfield.

Anna Boley picked up a hat trick on Friday night and the Heritage Lady Generals moved to 1-0 in Region 6-AAAA play with a win at Southeast Whitfield on Friday night.

Heritage (5-1 overall) got on the board in the fifth minute of the match as Sophie Roberts fed a streaking Boley, who beat the Southeast keeper one on one.

With 18 minutes left in the first half, Boley netted her second goal off an assist from Sophia Venable and she completed the hat trick eight minutes into the second half off an Emily Schoenborn assist.
