Lady Tigers open season with road, shutout win

The Adairsville girls soccer team went on the road and blanked Gordon Central Tuesday night 6-0 to open the Lady Tigers’ 2021 regular season campaign. Cat Wheeler scored three goals while Megan Hardin, Elle Causby, and Maddie Gosset each scored one goal each. Taylor Rhodes, Kaylee Jordan, Causby, and Wheeler all had assists. Tuesday’s matchup was tight through the first half. “Cold weather and high winds influenced a lot of the play in the first half,” said Adairsville coach David Sexauer. “We were able to pull away in the second half. That allowed us to play some girls in different positions and include the value of our subs off the bench. A key to our team success this year is to have confidence in all our team members and have them gain the skills to contribute on the field.”

Adairsville (1-0) hosts a non-region game Thursday with Trion at 5 p.m.
