TCHS Sweeps Vidalia and Swainsboro
The Toombs County High School Bulldogs soccer teams defended their home turf in a big way last week, sweeping both their Tuesday rivalry matchup against Vidalia and a Thursday contest against the Swainsboro Tigers. It was a vital stretch of the schedule, and both the boys and girls squads delivered complete performances to keep their momentum rolling as the regular season draws to a close.
Girls vs. Vidalia
The week started with a highly anticipated home test against the Vidalia Indians. Rivalry games always carry a bit more weight, but the Lady Bulldogs handled the pressure with a steady offensive attack to secure a 3-1 victory. Emerson Powell paced the team with a pair of goals, while Kanijah Toby added another to keep the Lady Indians at bay.
Boys vs. Vidalia
The boys' matchup against Vidalia proved to be a tighter contest, requiring a true group effort to edge out a 4-3 win. Instead of leaning on a single standout, Toombs utilized a balanced attack, getting crucial goals from four different players to secure the rivalry win. Juan Luna, Osvaldo Tinoco, Daniel Santoyo, and Palmer Davis all found the back of the net to help TCHS pull out the hardfought victory.
Girls vs. Swainsboro
Thursday brought the Swainsboro Tigers to town, and the Bulldogs maintained their winning ways to complete the weekly sweep. The Lady Bulldogs established a 1-0 lead by halftime and con- continued from page

Boys vs. Swainsboro
The boys' game against the Tigers was a higherscoring affair, ending in a solid 5-3 Toombs victory. Just like Tuesday, depth was the deciding factor for the Bulldogs.
