The Adairsville girls and boys soccer teams lost non-region games Wednesday night at Cedartown. The Lady Tigers dropped a 3-1 decision while the Tigers fell 10-2.

CEDARTOWN 3, ADAIRSVILLE GIRLS 1

The Lady Tigers trailed 1-0 at halftime Wednesday night at Cedartown and could not make up that ground in the second half in an eventual 3-1 loss.

Adairsville’s second-half goal came in the 53rd minute when Lizzie LeMay found the net off an assist from Maddie Gossett.

In a game that was dictated by which team could control the middle of the field, Lady Tigers’ head coach Dave Sexauer credited the play of Elle Causby. “She was always in the right spot to stop counter-attacks and redistribute the ball,” noted Sexauer. “Jordyn Hartline placed some nice corner kicks and had some good touches. Our keeper, Annie McCormick, made some crucial stops, and Piper Tordrup and Victoria Loudon had nice games.”

Cedartown improved to 1-1 with the win.

Adairsville (1-1) hosts Sonoraville Friday at 5 p.m.

CEDARTOWN 10, ADAIRSVILLE BOYS 2

Cedartown scored six times in the first half and pulled away from an injury-riddled, visiting Adairsville club Wednesday night in a 10-2 non-region win for the Bulldogs.

“We’re currently bitten by the injury bug,” said Tigers’ coach John Terrell. “We have ten kids out with some type of problem right now. We are hoping games like tonight will allow us to build some depth. We rotated 20 players tonight. With over 95 percent of the team returning next year, every varsity minute will help us in the future. We hope to get some of our guys back for Friday’s game.”

The Adairsville goals were scored by J Gramajo and John Mark Shepard.

The Tigers (0-2) will host Sonoraville Friday at 7 p.m.
