On Tuesday the Lady Bronco soccer team hit the road to take on Huntland in District 9-A action. After falling behind 3-1 at the half, Boyd scored two goals in the second half as the game ended in a 3-3 tie.

Ginger Anderson put the Lady Hornets on the score board first when she scored nine minutes into the contest. Huntland took a 2-0 lead at the 16-minute mark when Chelsea Clark found the back of the net.

The Lady Broncos got their offense going and four minutes later Cassie Wanamaker cut Huntland’s lead in half when she found the back of the net to make it a 2-1 game.

The Lady Hornets extended their lead just before the half ended when Clark scored her second goal as the half ended with Huntland holding a 3-1 lead.
