Another tough loss for Boyd
Boyd Christian School’s soccer team is admittedly in a rebuilding mode, trying to gain experience and hold their own against better teams this season.
Tuesday, Boyd traveled to Mt. Juliet Christian and stumbled against the more powerful Lady Saints, falling 13-1.
Mt. Juliet didn’t waste anytime scoring, as they took advantage of their speed and size over the Lady Broncos. Courtney Hard stepped in the goalie position for the Lady Broncos and had her hands full all day. The Lady Broncos looked a little nervous during the first half and never made any charge on offense. The Lady Saints provided all the offense in the first half with 10 goals on the board by halftime.
In the second half Mt. Juliet struck again and had built a 11-0 lead. But with 21 minutes left in the game, Lady Bronco Mary Reynolds found an open shot and scored Boyd’s only goal of the day. The Lady Saints added two more goals before the horn sounded to take the win.
The Lady Broncos had only five shots at goal while Hard had 23 saves on the day.
“The first half was really tough. The girls were nervous and didn’t know what to except from Mt. Juliet,” said coach Teresa Sutton. “We just couldn’t do anything right in the first half.
“We had a good talk at half time and the girls responded. They came out more aggressive and played a good second half, but we gave Mt. Juliet such a big lead in the first half we just couldn’t overcome it.”
