Weightman's hat trick lifts Lady Cats; Colonels win shootout to earn state playoff berth


Reagan Weightman scored a hat trick Friday night to lead Woodland over Cass, 3-2.

Reagan Weightman scored three goals and Chloe Ravish made a save on a Cass penalty kick to lift the Woodland Lady Cats over visiting Cass Friday night, 3-2.


Weightman scored all three Woodland goals in the first 18 minutes with Carlie Forman assisting on two of the scores.


Morgan Tompkins scored a goal late in the first half to make the score 3-1 at the intermission and added a second goal off a corner kick midway through the second half to pull the Lady Colonels within one score.


Cass was awarded a penalty kick in the final eight minutes, but Ravish made the key save to secure Woodland’s victory.


Woodland (5-6-2, 2-3) secured a Class 5A state playoff berth as a 4-seed. The Lady Cats have non-region regular season matches remaining Monday at home against South Paulding (5:30 p.m.), at Paulding County Tuesday (5:30 p.m.) and at home against Rome Friday night (5:30 p.m.). The Lady Cats will open the state playoffs the following week at third-ranked Chamblee. The Bulldogs are the Region 5-5A champs.


CASS BOYS TOP WOODLAND ON PENALTY KICKS


Juan Pajarito

After playing the full 90 minutes of regulation and two more five minute overtime periods Friday night at Wildcats Stadium, Woodland and Cass went to a penalty kick shootout to ultimately decide Region 7-5A’s final state playoff berth.


Cass’ Juan Pajarito, who had lifted Cass over Cartersville earlier in the season with a final penalty kick, converted the Colonels fifth PK in the shootout for a 5-4 victory over the Wildcats.


Carlos Morales, Camden Hillhouse, Alex Hernandez, and Jose Rodriguez also made penalty kicks in the shootout for Cass.


The victory — along with Cartersville's win over Calhoun Friday night — left the Colonels in a three-way tie for second place in Region 7-5A with Calhoun and Cartersville. The three teams finished the region schedule with 1-1 marks against each other and 3-2 in all region games. Due to the region tiebreaker of fewest goals allowed in head-to-head games, Cartersville wound up the No. 2-seed, Calhoun third, and Cass will be the No. 4-seed. Cass (10-5-1, 3-2) will host East Paulding in a non-region match to close out the regular season Tuesday night before going on the road the following week to face the Region 5-5A champion in the opening round of the state playoffs.
