Lady Tigers win 15th, prepare for region showdown with LFO

The Adairsville girls soccer team cruised to an easy 6-0 win over visiting Haralson County Wednesday night in non-region action in Tiger Valley.

The Lady Tigers led 4-0 by halftime and played their entire bench in preparation for Friday night’s Region 6-AAA showdown with Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe. The early lead enabled coach David Sexauer to rest many of his starters.

The Gossett twins — Maddie and Caroline — each scored two goals in the victory. Maddie had goals in the 3rd and 18th minutes off assists from Cat Wheeler and Mia Scott. Caroline scored in the game’s 39th and 78th minutes. Her first goal was assisted by Kaylee Jordan.

Megan Hardin scored an unassisted goal in the first half’s 15th minute. Gracie Baker added a second half goal with an assist from Gabi Becerra in the 74th minute.

The Adairsville girls, now 15-1 overall and 7-0 in region action will host Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe (10-3-1, 5-0-1) Friday in a final regular season game that will likely decide the region championship.
