Bailey Needham scored twice, while Terry and Mady Nix each found the net once. Bialecke finished with two assists.
Head coach Mike Craft named Cason, Terry, Abbey Bradford, Lindsay Davies, Sydney Lane, Lily Langston, Addison Needham, Briley Simpson and Emma Walther as defensive standouts in the latest matches.

Jalen Glover got things going for the Warriors (2-0) on Thursday with a shot from nearly 30 yards away and that got in under the crossbar. Glover later assisted Domingo Marrowquin on a shot that found the left upper 90 and defensive midfielder Al Hastic later sealed the win with what head coach Traye Carpenter described as a “cannon ball shot” following a throw-in assist from Cooper Kirk.
“It was a great allaround defensive effort from the entire team,” Carpenter added. “The game was very physical and intense, but the result was worth it.”
Ringgold girls 5, Trion 1
The Ringgold Lady Tigers got two goals each from Sophie Grace Reed and Joanna Medlin in a win over Trion on Tuesday.
Hailey Emous added one goal and Taylor Layne picked up an assist as the Lady Tigers moved to 2-0.

LaFayette (220) had a 41 from Langford, again the day’s low medalist. Barber shot of 56 and Woods had a 60. The Ramblers only had three available players, so they were forced to accept a filler score of 63 to complete their team total.

(60), Cambelle Williams (61) and Landon Williams (61). Maynor also played and carded a 62 for the Navy-andWhite.
