The Cartersville girls and boys soccer teams defeated Dawson County Friday night to open the 2020 season while both Cass soccer teams fell at Dalton. Woodland started its tennis season with losses to North Paulding and several local high school swimmers advanced to the GHSA State Swim Meet finals on Saturday. SOCCER CARTERSVILLE BOYS 5, DAWSON COUNTY 2 The Cartersville boys opened the 2020 season Friday night with a 5-2 win at Dawson County. After falling behind 1-0, the Hurricanes stormed back with a pair of goals by Alex Rios and single goals by Joel Zazueta and Joan Vargas. Daniel Abeja had a pair of assists and Brady Craig added an assist. The Canes also added a goal in the waining minutes off a free kick. The Canes (1-0) play at Woodland next Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. CARTERSVILLE GIRLS 3, DAWSON COUNTY 1 Kalyn Donegan scored a pair of second half goals and Abbey Craig picked up the Lady Canes first goal of the regular season in a 3-1 win at Dawson County Friday night. Micah Vance assisted on the Craig goal in the 47th minute. Donegan’s first goal came ten minutes later off a corner kick by Kendyl Anderson and her second goal was off a throw in by Devondria Johnson in the game’s 62nd minute. “We dominated possession in the game,” said Cartersville coach Chad Murray. “We had possession about 80 percent of the game in the attacking third. Their (Dawson County) goal was on a defensive mistake and it put us behind 1-0 at halftime. We challenged the girls at the break to score four goals and we almost got it. We played smart and showed patience in the second half and it led to goals. We have some things to work on, but I’m very proud of the girls.” DALTON 8, CASS GIRLS 0 The host Lady Catamounts scored five goals in the first half and three more in the second half to defeat the Lady Colonels Friday night. The loss drops the Cass girls to 0-2. They will travel to Northwest Whitfield Tuesday at 5:45 p.m. DALTON 7, CASS BOYS 0 Dalton improved to 1-1 with their home shutout of Cass Friday night.

The Adairsville boys basketball team punched its ticket to the Class AAA state tournament next week by knocking off Region 6-AAA third-seeded Murray County Thursday night in the region quarterfinals, 73-61. The Tigers led wire-to-wire in the tournament game at North Murray High School, but the Indians narrowed Adairsville’s lead to three points in the final period before fading down the stretch. Adairsville jumped out to a 20-9 lead in the opening eight minutes, but Murray County made a run late in the second quarter to narrow the margin to 32-27 by halftime. The Tigers maintained a 52-41 lead through the third quarter and made enough free throws down the stretch to hold off Murray County for a 12-point win. The Tigers rebounded well on the defensive end in the second half and converted 21 of 31 from the charity stripe. Four Tigers — Savaun Henderson, Malachi Gardner, T.J. Printup, and Tucker Deams — combined to make 19 of 21 free throws in the half. Only five Adairsville players found their way into the scoring column, but all five reached double figures. Henderson led the way with 19 points. Deams and Jaxon Welchel scored 15 each. Printup chipped in 14 and Malachi Gardner finished with 10 points for the Tigers. Murray County led the Indians with 17 points. Carson Weaver and Cade Petty scored 12 each. Athan Hicks added 11. Murray County (18-7) may still qualify for the Class AAA state tournament as an at-large team, but the Indians will finish outside the region’s four automatic qualifiers. Sixth-seed Adairsville (12-14) advances to the region semifinals Friday at North Murray High School against second-seeded Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe at 5:30 p.m. The region finals and third place games will also be at North Murray Saturday. KELL 74, CASS BOYS 52 Two nights after earning a state tournament berth with a win over Villa Rica, the Cass boys lost Thursday night to Region 7-AAAAA top-seeded Kell Longhorns 74-52 at Carrollton High School. 4th-ranked Kell took control early, leading 19-4 after one quarter and 39-18 by halftime.

Former Woodland High School football standout, Kenny Baker, is the new defensive ends coach at Western Kentucky. The news was released by Elliott Pratt, the WKU beat writer for the Bowling Green Daily News. Baker was the defensive line coach at UT-Chattanooga last season. He replaces Jimmy Lindsey, who served as the Hilltoppers defensive ends coach the last three seasons before leaving for the same position at Illinois. Baker, a Cartersville, Ga., native, coached five seasons at Mercer before his one season with the Chattanooga Mocs. He worked one season at Berry College as co-defensive coordinator/linebackers coach in 2013 and coached at Lakeside High School in Augusta, Ga., three seasons prior to that. He lettered three seasons on the defensive line at Gardner-Webb from 2005-08 during his college career.
