In the boys match, the Bulldogs got down early after conceding a goal to the Bears with about a minute to go in the first half. They fought back and scored 4 unanswered goals to take a huge Region win, 4-1.
Head Coach Jeremy Moore said, “This was a long time coming for the boys. We backed ourselves into a corner with some early losses, but they have responded well with the win over Windsor Forest earlier in the week, and now a big win over Pierce County this week. It was good to finally see some goals go in the back of the net. I thought we had been playing better than the results have shown; we just couldn’t find a way to score. Tonight, we were able to get 4 in against a very good Pierce County team.”
Goals were scored by Braylen Dietrich (2), Jose Leon (1), and Gustavo Delgado (1). This win brings the boys region record to 5-5 and gets them right back in the hunt for the state playoffs!
The Bulldogs were back in action at home on Tuesday against Brantley County after presstime. On Friday they will be at Savannah Arts with the first game at 5:00 p.m.
