SOCCER RANKINGS

By Ricky Dimon

Lassiter girls clinch Region 5-AAAAAA title

The Lassiter girls clinched the Region 5-AAAAAA title by defeating Walton 1-0 last Saturday. Margot Richardson notched a first-half goal for the Trojans, who extended their winning streak to 10 while recording their fifth consecutive shutout. In the boys' match, Lassiter edged Walton 2-1 in overtime. The Trojans led 1-0 at halftime after Jumar Oakley put the ball in the back of the net off an assist by Grady Murray.

Walton's Greg Jensen tied things at 1-1 during the 57th minute after receiving a pass from Tai Livnat. Overtime had to separate the two teams and it was once again Oakley who delivered the goods. He scored his second goal of the game fewer than three minutes into the extra frame, with Evan Hill providing the assist. Josh Stoll made four saves for the Trojans.

Wesleyan beat Lovett in both the boys and girls matches on Tuesday. The Wesleyan boys secured the No. 3 seed out of Region 6-AA by prevailing 2-0. Nick Everbusch put Wesleyan ahead in the first half before Benji Johnson scored an insurance goal in the second, with Abraham Lopez assisting on both occasions. Austin Pack stopped eight shots for Wesleyan. The Lady Wolves edged Lovett 1-0 on a goal by Abbey Mitchell with fewer than eight minutes remaining in regulation. T.J. Anderson had the assist and Carolina Cannon made 11 saves in front of the net. Like the boys, Wesleyan's girls will also be the third seed in the state tournament from Region 6-AA.

Parkview also swept a clash of rivals on Tuesday. Region 8-AAAAAA action saw the Panthers beat the Brookwood boys 2-1 on goals by Andrei Bajura and Connor Rosenthal. In the girls' contest, Emily Nixon, Katie Hickman and Emma Carlson found the back of the net for Parkview in a 3-1 win over the Broncos.

Fellowship Christian's girls wrapped up the Area 6-A championship last week with a 10-0 blowout of Mount Pisgah. The Paladins, who reached the state semifinals last season, also got the best of Stratford Academy last week before blanking Mount Pisgah Christian again on Tuesday via an 8-0 scoreline. Head coach Tim Rice's squad has been led offensively by Rachel Haigwood and Megan Hudgens. A stellar defense features three-year starter Sara Kate Jones and goalkeeper Shannon Milhollin. Fellowship Christian will wrap up its regular-season slate against Blessed Trinity on Thursday before heading to the state tournament in early May.
