ADAIRSVILLE GIRLS 2, RINGGOLD 0

The Adairsville Lady Tigers picked up another Region 6-AAA win and another shutout Tuesday night with a home 2-0 victory over Ringgold.

Following a Ringgold foul in the 28-foot box, Megan Hardin scored for Adairsville in the 39th minute on a well placed lower corner penalty kick. The boot gave Adairsville a 1-0 lead at the intermission. The locals added an insurance goal in the first five minutes of the second half when Taylor Rhoades found the net off an assist from Kaylee Jordan.

The two teams battled the rest of the way with Adairsville holding on for the two goal win. Adairsville coach David Sexauer recognized Mia Scott for her consistent work in this game at outside back. Jordan also received accolades for her intensity and great feeds through the opposing defense. “We struggled to control play in the first half,” said Sexauer. “We made some formation adjustments at halftime and matched up much better in the second half. We took better control of the middle of the field and that helped our strikers.”

The loss for Ringgold dropped them to 5-1 overall and 4-1 in Region 6-AAA.

Adairsville (10-1, 5-0) plays a non-region game next Tuesday at Cass.

CALHOUN 3, WOODLAND GIRLS 0

Both teams struggled with ball control on the wet turf Tuesday night, but it was Calhoun who took a 1-0 halftime lead and went on to defeat the Woodland Lady Cats, 3-0. The Woodland girls (4-6-1, 1-2) step out of Region 7-AAAAA play Thursday at Darlington.
