The Mary Persons Boys Soccer team hits the road for a pair of important region contests this week. The Bulldogs (9-2-1) travel to West Laurens on Thursday (7:30) and Veterans on Friday (7:00).

The Bulldogs have won three straight games, outscoring their opponents by a combined 16-4 during that stretch. Home games against Perry next Tuesday and Howard on Friday (Senior Night) will wrap up the regular season for MP. The GHSA state playoffs are slated to begin on April 26.
