Brookland-Cayce 1-4 Chapin
The Cage @ BCHS
I don't have the scoresheet with me, but here are some numbers off the top of my head:
Halftime: BC 1-2 C.
Goals: (BC) own goal 32'; (C) Ben Bosco 33', David Stone 35', David Slaughter 41', Joey De Mare 43'.
Shots: BC 10-15 C.
Saves: (BC) Chris Duzan 4; (C) Greg De Mare 3.
Records: BC 5-1, 1-1; C 9-2, 3-0.
B-C and Chapin have split the past 16 meetings and 12 of those matches have been decided by one goal in either direction, including five penalty kick decisions and one match decided in overtime. The Bearcats lead the overall series 13-11 (super rivalry in Lexington County).
One note -- I like the region slate better when both the Varsity girls and boys teams play back-to-back instead of the way Region 4-3A is doing it this year with the same gender JV teams playing ahead of the Varsity squads. Makes for better gates and crowds, though last night was well attended, but makes for a much better atmosphere in my opinion. Plus, it allows me to watch the JV teams with the intent on seeing who is getting better or regressing instead of preparing for the Varsity match. Just my $0.02 worth.
Congratulations to Chapin on the victory -- the Eagles were certainly the better team last night!
