With the two region wins this week, the Lady Cougars now have an overall record of 8-3, with a 6-0 mark in region play. The unbeaten record in region play to this point has Crisp’s girls in first place in the 1-AAA standings with three region matches remaining on their schedule.

In the late game on Wednesday, the Cougars were settling in for a dogfight between two of the top ranked teams in the region. The teams went back and forth for the entire first half and the game was tied 0-0 at halftime.

In the second half the Cougars came out attacking and Reynolds scored a brilliant goal on a great assist from Richmond to give the Crisp County the 1-0 lead. Crisp continued the attacking play from there but missed on several late scoring opportunities, before securing the 1-0 victory.

The two region victories this week put the Crisp County boys’ team at 6-4-1 (Win-Loss-Tie) overall on the season, and 5-1 in region play. The Cougars are also sitting in first place in the 1-AAA standings with just three region contests to go this season.
