Colonels take down No. 1 Dalton
March 6, 2024
The Cass boys’ soccer team was unranked in Class 5A when the Score Atlanta polls were released at the beginning of the week, but that may change soon if the Colonels continue their recent success.
Tuesday night Cass won a fierce battle with No. 1-ranked Dalton 1-0 at Cochran Stadium.
The game’s only goal was scored in the second half by Christian Villela with about nine minutes remaining. The assist on the game-winner came from Camden Hillhouse.
Cass fired 14 shots on goal compared to seven by the Catamounts although ball possession in the match was approximately 50/50.
“Our defense did a stellar job all night with Mason Madrid, Grayson Dysart, and Xavi Pineda doing great work on the outside. The two centerbacks — Juan Romo and Chris Mederos — were also special. Chris made a fantastic clearance off the goal line when a corner kick header beat our keeper. The boys keep showing a willingness to go forward and play on their front foot each match.”
The loss dropped Dalton to 6-2-1 on the season and 1-1 in Region 7-5A.
